Edited by Alberto Amaral, Emeritus Professor, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto and Senior Researcher, Centre for Research in Higher Education Policies (CIPES) and António Magalhães, Full Professor, Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, University of Porto and Director, Centre for Research in Higher Education Policies (CIPES), Portugal

This ground-breaking Handbook examines the evolution of university autonomy and governance by tracking the changing relationship between higher education institutions and the state. Through unique historical analyses, contributors provide important insights into the
position of students, academics, and universities in today’s society and map potential future directions of travel for the sector.

‘The massive expansion of higher education has been paralleled by a managerial and governance revolution of higher education institutions and systems. This Handbook reflects this development. It illustrates how research on higher education management and governance has emerged as an important research field. The editors have brought together a large group of intellectually attractive authors to cover key topics and developments. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students for many years to come.’
