Abstract The turbulence which occurred in higher education institutions in the 1960s and 1970s led to considerable interest in examining the processes involved in higher education reform. The most comprehensive attempt at planned change in higher education was made in Sweden. This article analyses the decision-making and the policy-implementation processes in Swedish higher education as a way of illuminating the more general problem of understanding the nature of the processes involved in higher education reform. The article concludes that the data do not fit the standard models of public choice nor do they confirm prevailing notions about policy failure.
