  • Summary

    The chapters profile the ways in which fifteen countries of the former Soviet Union are approaching governing their universities and what governance structures they put it place to undertake this essential task. What do they have in common? How are they different? Four different models emerged, that we lable academic focused; state-extended; internal/external; and civic. The models reflect notions of power and autonomy, and the levels of state control versus independence. The ways in which an organization, and in this case the university governance body, is structured shapes what information is collected and how it is sorted, transmitted, and made available; the ways decisions are made including which decision makers come together under what opportunities and constraints, and the ways in which decisions are addressed and actions taken. Organizational structure both determine outcomes and are shaped by external forces and beliefs.
