Sažetak
This paper is inspired by actual dynamics in higher education
and by three global trends in higher education policy: the
changing relationship between governments and higher
education institutions, mostly in terms of encouraging a
greater degree of self-regulation of higher education
institutions; endeavours for improving the quality of higher
education followed by introducing national quality assurance
systems into higher education policy and changing
conceptions of governance of higher education institutions as
a result of new external and internal demands on higher
education. The purpose of this paper is to provide the
theoretical background needed for understanding dynamics
and developments in higher education policy, derived from
the recent organisational theories and research on higher
education policy, with special emphasis on the relationship
between higher education institutions and demands from
their external environment. The discussion about appropriate
and responsive conceptions of governance of higher
education institutions is developed. A number of factors
which have an influence on creating an adequate conception
of governance have been identified, as well as on reflecting
on adequate changes needed to be met towards introducing
a comparable and internationally recognised system of
quality assurance.
