Within the last decades, a new way of policymaking has become increasingly prominent: civic hackathons. However, in education policy research, hackathons have not been broadly addressed so far. With this article, we contribute to closing this research gap by empirically investigating the educational #wirfürschule (#wfs) Hackathons that took place…

Kun Wang; Calvin King Lam Chung; Jiang Xu; Alan Chi Keung Cheung – Higher Education Policy, 2024
Emerging studies on university stratification have often attributed the developmental gaps between universities to the popularization of new public management in contexts where market mechanisms prevail in higher education governance. However, less attention has been paid to how state powers continue to mediate university stratification alongside…

Fiona Margetts; Stephen Jonathan Whitty; Brad Taylor – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2024
University governing bodies, especially academic boards, play a crucial role in policy formation. However, due to the predominance of managerial values over academic values in the policy-making process, a persistent divide exists between policy formulation and implementation. This divide results from the marginalisation of academics and the…

It aimed to privatize and to implement private sector management principles in the public…
