Does good governance ensure quality higher education? What happens when a higher education institution fails to govern its internal and external domains effectively? How does the state maintain appropriate balance between autonomy and accountability? What role politics play in the governance of universities? These are some of the questions that this book aims to address in understanding, exploring and delineating the governance aspects of higher education in Bangladesh against the backdrop of deteriorating quality of education in general and higher education in particular. To answer the above questions, a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches has been adopted. The analytical framework formulated in the book helps us understand when the governance practices can be outlined as good and when as weak or poor. This book is an absolute necessity for higher education administrators and anyone interested in understanding and researching the governance of higher education in developing countries.
