Roger King examines how universities, as increasingly autonomous
organizations, are subject to forms of global governance that rely
particularly on private and peer-processes rather than legal
command and compliance. The book explores the growing influence of
global regulatory governance - governmental and private - on
universities and national higher education systems. It considers
processes of purposeful standardization, normative internalization
and markets as solutions for coordination and collective action
problems, as well as hierarchical command. A range of university
systems, world models and organizations, particularly those
associated with Europe and the OECD are examined, with particular
emphasis on the growth of national and global league tables and
similar rankings of higher education institutions as a form of
regulation. Governance globally is found to operate through
'steerage', networks, deliberation and communities of the
knowledgeable and the expert. The comprehensive coverage of global
university governance includes conceptual, theoretical and
empirical analyses that will be invaluable to higher education
researchers and students, and to public policy academics, students
and practitioners. Global governance analysts, global business and
management postgraduates, as well as regulation theorists and
practitioners will also find this book to be of great interest.
