Glen A. Jones and Alison Elizabeth Jefferson

Chapter 31 in Handbook on Higher Education Management and Governance, 2023, pp 468-481 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The governance of higher education within federations can involve quite distinctive features and complexities. Federations are normally defined by a constitutional arrangement involving the delegation of authority between two or more levels of government. There are many variations of federalism, and many differences in how higher education is governed within federal systems. The objective of this chapter is to illuminate three distinctive forms of complexity associated with some federal systems: differences in the legal foundation and regulation of higher education; multi-issue, multi-level complexities; and complexities associated with language and multination federalism.
