Abstract

In Europe, since the 1980s, the state supervisory model became the dominant form of regulation of higher education systems and institutions. The analysis of the shift from the state control model to the state supervisory model is key to understanding the mediation role of institutional autonomy, accountability and quality assessment in higher education governance and management. The prevalence of the state supervisory model was legitimated by the criticism of the state control model further developed by neoliberal discourses. Market and market-like instruments were introduced in the regulation of the sector reconfiguring the relationship between the state and higher education with impact on institutions and their actors. The chapter also argues that this political grammar is reinforced by the adoption of governance and management digital tools and rationales. The use of digital governance instruments shaping data management potentially promotes harder versions of managerialism in supervising the systems and institutions at the national and supranational levels.
