Conceptualising University Governance in Southern Sudan

Abstract

University governance in Southern Sudan during the transitional period was characterised by a governance regime of Islamist Public Management and neopatrimonialism. This concluding chapter offers a conceptual explanation of these findings using neo-institutional theorising and the governance concept. Furthermore, it is argued that the governance concept, as used in higher education research, cannot fully describe the case. I will therefore offer an amended governance typology derived from the empirical findings.
