Review

Praise for the Previous Edition:"This book is a masterful compilation of global theories and realities of academic governance. It provides a coherent discussion of the ideas behind university governance as well as the realities of the 21st century." Philip G. Altbach, Founding Director, Center for International Higher Education, Boston College, USA"Higher education is ever more important and in its governance (variously directed, managed, collegial and democratic) there is much at stake. Governance of Higher Education has done a marvelous job in opening a complex field to common scrutiny and understanding. It will be used throughout the world. Highly recommended." Simon Marginson, Joint Editor-in-Chief of Higher Education and Professor of International Higher Education, University College London, UK"Based in theory and comparative in scope, Governance of Higher Education is a comprehensive and cutting-edge account of the topic. A resource for anyone interested in the ways in which higher education systems are organized and managed."Brendan Cantwell, Assistant Professor of Educational Administration, Michigan State University, USA"The governance of systems is critical to how well higher education serves the needs of learners and society. I've used this book over and over again in my teaching to provide an essential understanding of different approaches and their implications. I highly recommend it."Ellen Hazelkorn, Joint Editor, Policy Reviews in Higher Education and Professor Emeritus, Technological University Dublin, Ireland
