Summary: | Annual Conference of the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER), Reykjavik, Iceland, 23-25 June, 2011 This paper has been informed by the proposition developed by institutional theorists that higher education systems tend to develop independently of local context.

International organisations are critical in the development and diffusion of these ideas. |
