Making Policy in British Higher Education 1945-2011 is a great story, very readable and full of wry humour. It is also a profoundly informative work that explains the policy and politics of higher education better than anything else that is available.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eProfessor Simon Marginson, Centre for the Study of Higher Education, University of Melbourne, Australia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"As expected, Michael Shattock's mastery of the history of higher education policy-making in the UK is evident in every page - the temptation is to say every paragraph. This is a demanding analysis. It is packed, precise, judicious and immensely informed ... As a narrative about how policy-making occurs in the long run, how to read the relevant archival and other documents closely and how to avoid the easy generalizations arising from ideological partis pris, this study is an instant classic.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSheldon Rothblatt, Professor of History \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigher Education and the Policy Process\u003cbr\u003eDetermining the Structure of Higher Education\u003cbr\u003eThe Financial Drivers of Higher Education Policy\u003cbr\u003eResearch and Policy\u003cbr\u003eThe Politics of Accountability\u003cbr\u003eMaking Policy at the Institutional Level\u003cbr\u003eHigher Education and Making Policy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes on Chapters\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48883994624343,"sku":"9780335241866","price":40.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780335241866.jpg?v=1722529948","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/making-policy-in-british-higher-education-19452011-9780335241866","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
