Abstract
This chapter reviews the state of research into higher education policy and institutional management. It does so by reanalysing in more detail data collected for previous analyses of the state of higher education research overall (Tight, 2003, 2012a), which focused in particular on the articles published in specialist higher education journals in 2000 and 2010.
