ABSTRACT

Higher Education (HE) Institutions in different European countries have been steered towards an increased level of quality and performance through a comparable market governance approach. Despite the comparability of the applied governance instruments, the question remains whether these also yield comparable results in different HE systems. Building on policy implementation studies, this article analyses the importance of policy preconditions for and the effects of governance instruments in three distinct HE systems (Flanders, Italy, Finland). It is concluded that goal unclarity and a lack of support are potentially detrimental for the impact of the introduced policy.

摘要

通过可比的市场治理方法，不同欧洲国家的高等教育 (HE) 机构已被引导提高质量和绩效水平。尽管应用的治理工具具有可比性，但问题仍然是这些工具是否也能在不同的高等教育系统中产生可比的结果。在政策实施研究的基础上，本文分析了三个不同高等教育系统（法兰德斯、意大利、芬兰）中政策先决条件的重要性和治理工具的影响。得出的结论是，目标不明确和缺乏支持可能对引入政策的影响产生不利影响。
