Managing Universities: Policy and Organizational Change from a Western European Comparative Perspective (1st ed. 2017 edition.)

Asks how modern universities are organized and managed, and questions whether 30 years of university reforms have resulted in stronger managerial structures and leadership control.

It further asks whether current organisational and decision-making structures can be explained by public reform policies.

The book offers a coherent, empirically grounded and theoretically driven presentation of data and core ideas behind a large scale comparative study of 26 universities across eight European countries.
