This book undoubtedly represents a landmark in the study of higher education governance. * Higher Education *\u003cbr\u003eThis volume … provides a sweeping overview of the divergent and contrasting developments in higher education governance in the four nations of the UK since the mis-70s … It covers a considerable amount of ground and offers commendably pithy and wide-ranging insights and judgements on the effects of changes in systems governance , UK devolution, globalisation, the marketisation of funding  (particularly in England) and managerialism, and the consequences of all these for institutional missions and for teaching and research … No one could accuse its authors of shying away from meeting policy head on, or of not arriving at clear judgements about the relative efficacy of different policy models and trajectories. * London Review of Education *\u003cbr\u003eDuring the past thirty years there have been tumultuous changes in higher education policy and administration. No-one is better qualified through practical experience and academic research than Michael Shattock to chronicle and analyse these events. He and Aniko Horvath have written the definitive account of them and their implications for the governance and management of UK universities and the sustainability of 2019 arrangements. Their book will come to be seen as a classic of the genre. * Gareth Williams, Emeritus Professor, UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK *\u003cbr\u003eA superb overview of higher education across the four UK nations: broader, clearer and more coherent in its core argument than other recent works. It also creates a compelling picture of the global landscape in which the UK institutions sit, and focuses our attention on the curiously partial nature of their connection to that landscape. Without being at all strident or ideological, Shattock and Horvath have destroyed the premises on which contemporary UK policy is based – the assumptions that tighter state control, consumer markets and easy entry to commercial providers will somehow usher in a new flowering of quality, access, university autonomy and academic creativity. * Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford, UK, and Editor of the Bloomsbury Higher Education Research series *\u003cbr\u003eAn admirable assessment of the changes in system and institutional governance during a critical period.  It updates Shattock’s own previous work with new empirical evidence, razor sharp analysis and wise conclusions. * William Locke, Professor and Director of the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education, University of Melbourne, Australia *\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a sophisticated and comprehensive analysis of how British universities have been transformed, not always for the better, by government-led funding and management initiatives in recent decades. The comparison of the different countries of the United Kingdom and the discussion of the global environment are especially useful. * Philip G. Altbach, Research Professor, Founding Director, Center for International Higher Education, Boston College, USA *\u003cbr\u003eA masterpiece using the British devolution as a laboratory for higher education analysis. The exploration of the process by which England, Northern-Ireland, Scotland and Wales diverging policies have led to diverging region-based institutional governance and academic experiences is illuminating. * Christine Musselin, Professor, Sciences Po, France *\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this is a book about the governance of British higher education, it is perhaps even more a book about autonomy and why it matters - at both institutional and individual level. * Bjørn Stensaker, Professor and Director of LINK - Center for Learning, Innovation and Academic Development, University of Oslo, Norway *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries Editor’s Foreword Acknowledgements List of Acronyms A Timeline 1.
