1. Policy and Prediction: The Case of Institutional Diversity in Romanian Higher Education

Author

Vlasceanu, Lazar and Hâncean, Marian-Gabriel

Abstract

Presenting key elements of post-1990 historical developments in the Romanian higher education system, the emphasis is put on recent (2011) policies of increasing higher education institutional differentiation. The view is that, in policy design, due attention should be paid to both historical roots and predicted developments. Building on an institutional analysis approach, we put forward a theoretical model that aims to explore the predictive implications of some recently promoted higher education policies. These policies are expected to increase institutional differentiation at the systemic level and enhance quality in teaching and research at university level. The predictive capacity of a model of reference is tested against a concurrent model. The key assumption of the latter is that of considering higher education institutions (HEIs) as "cooperative systems" that are unable to generate those outputs and outcomes that, by aggregation, would contribute to the construction of an institutionally diverse and heterogeneous higher education landscape.

Abstract

This volume is the first in a series of four publications related to a project on the creation of a Regional University Network on Governance and Management of Higher Education in South East Europe. The volume contains an overview of higher education governing structures on countries participating in the project: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The study assumed a broad interpretation of governing structures, to include strategic planning and management and quality assurance. The first part of the report, "From Words to Action," discusses changing higher education structures and functioning. The second part, "Mapping Trends and Developments," contains a compilation of data, information, and analyses provided by the partner institutions in the network countries. (SLD)
