Abstract

AbstractThis article compares the strategies adopted by two Canadian universities in response to financial restrictions. Using a political perspective, it first explores the context of each institution by examining the behaviour of key interest groups. It then shows how the political context shaped the way in which cutbacks were made. The strategies adopted by the two universities were influenced by the need to accommodate powerful, or potentially powerful, interest groups, and in particular, the desire of central administrators to avoid opposition from these groups.RésuméCet article compare les stratégies adoptées par deux universités canadiennes face aux coupures budgétaires. Adoptant un point de vue politique, l'auteur analyse en premier lieu le contexte de chaque établissement en étudiant le comportement des groupes d'intérět les plus importants. Il montre ensuite comment le contexte politique module les coupures budgétaires. Les stratégies adoptées par les deux universités ont été influencées par la nécessité d'accommoder des groupes d'intérět puissants ou potentiellement puissants et, en particulier, par le désir des administrateurs d'éviter l'antagonisme de ces groupes.
