Abstract	In contrast with that basic understanding of university autonomy, in most continental European countries, such as France, and also in Japan, the government has tightly controlled universities, in terms of both their organization and activities. In these countries, the concept of "governance" is often lacking, as institutions were not expected to have a direction of their own, as distinct from the directives of government. In the state centered model, there is still much that needs to be studied in relation to how to govern universities. However, especially since the 1990s, due to a higher expectation for universities would contribute to a strong economy but use less public money, institutional autonomy has grown overall in most higher education systems, even in those countries where government control over public universities used to be very strong. This has created opportunities for universities to manage themselves efficiently through empowerment, corporate status, introduction of a board of trustees and block grants, determining their own profiles and strategies. The papers presented herein address this organizational integration and improved managerial capability within universities. Following a foreword by Masashi Fujimura, contents of this report include: (1) Governance at the University of California: An Example of Faculty (Ellen Switkes); (2) The Governance of Higher Education in England (Bahram Bekhradnia); (3) The Transformation of University Governance in France (1999-2011): Inertia, Institutionalization and Change (Stephanie Mignot-Gerard); (4) University Governance Reforms in Japan--Incorporation of National Universities (Jun Oba); and (5) Comments and Questions on the Presentations of University Governance (Fumihiro Maruyama). Two appendices include: (1) Seminar Program; and (2) List of Participants. Individual papers contain references. [Charles R. Barton edited the manuscripts in this report.] (ERIC).
