Abstract
After the introductory chapter, the aim of this chapter is to present the main theoretical strands of literature informing this book. In what follows, I assess regime literature and foundation literature to identify their limitations and gaps for understanding state-foundation relationships and the role of foundations in supporting higher education. Following from the identified gaps, the chapter will argue for why it is necessary to study foundations supporting higher education from a comparative regime perspective.
