- Abstract
The implementation of the principle of competition between and within German universities is suitable as an analytical probe in order to trace the radical change of the higher education system. In view of the problems in research governance given tight budgets and a new, neoliberal economic, political and thinking style since the late 1970s, competition became a broad socially acceptable modus operandi which was able to disencumber politics and administration. The introduction of competitive instruments such as New Public Management installed a market-like, hierarchical governance regime in the universities. The unleashing of competition reveals itself as a subtle control mechanism, which obscures its changeable parameters and opens universities up to increased inner and outer control.
