Abstract

This chapter deals with particular instances of institutional reform in Dutch higher education, an institution which can be considered as a public sector in which neo-corporatist interest representation, by a number of internally coherent and well-organised interest groups, plays a considerable role in policy making and implementation. It is the aim of this contribution to show that in such an institutional context, the introduction of interactive governance and/or market-like mechanisms may ‘collide’ with the existing neo-corporatist model, particularly the underlying norms and values of participants in this model. The central questions therefore are how the interaction develops between the planned institution (interactive governance, but in particular market-type elements) and existing institutions (neo-corporatist interest representation); and what the institutional consequences are of the interaction between planned and existing institutions.
