Abstract Over the past two decades major changes have occurred in the way government intervenes in the regulation, coordination, and behavior of the national system of Mexican higher education. These changes can be categorized in three areas: (1) the continued emphasis on the assessment and accountability, (2) a new focus on efficiency and quality of higher education, and (3) establishment of a mechanism to coordinate the national and subnational university systems. I argue that this indicates a change in the governments understanding of the role of higher education and explains the introduction of a new policy paradigm and policy instruments (Braun and Merrien 1999). This chapter may help to explain how the change in the “belief systems” has affected actors in the different national contexts, particularly in the area of institutional management and governance of systems and institutions.
