A fascinating study of two higher education systems - England and Japan - subject to many of the same pressures during a period of great change, showing where their responses have been similar and where they have diverged. -- Malcolm Tight, professor, Lancaster University This book will be of great interest to university advisors and researchers in the fields of higher education policy and management in the United Kingdom and Japan. As a contextual study, it provides illuminating and insightful reading about the changing landscapes of the higher education sectors in both countries since the 1980s. -- Felicity Rawlings-Sanaei, Ph.D., University of New South Wales The contribution of ideology has not often been considered in any detail.

A must for students and researchers seeking to understand the evolution of higher education policy in the two countries and the part played by differing political ideologies. -- Gareth Williams, emeritus professor of educational administration, Institute of Education, University of London
