Game-Like Regulation of Universities: Will the New Regulatory Framework for Higher Education in Sweden Work?

Niklasson, Lars

Higher Education, v32 n3 p267-82 Oct 1996

Sweden's newly deregulated university system, characterized by increased privatization and performance-based funding, is compared with a model of "responsive regulation" characterized by a cooperative regulatory relationship. Developments and actions during the first few years of reform are also analyzed in this context. Suggestions for improvement of the new system are made. (Author/MSE)
