Abstract

In recent years, numerous governments have proceeded with reforms to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of university systems. These reforms aimed generally at according greater freedom to institutions and, at the same time, rationalizing their governance by clarifying the responsibilities of the management in the institutional decision-making process (OECD 2003). The reform of national universities in Japan has also reflected such a global trend. This chapter examines the impact and challenges of the recent reform of Japanese national universities, focusing on their internal governance.
