Abstract

[In Western Europe, the expansion of the organisational field of post-secondary education outside universities has been characterised by the establishment of a large number of schools in cities, towns, and local communities throughout each country. This development can be described as two interrelated decentralisation processes: geographical decentralisation, which means that higher education spreads to regions and local communities outside the traditional university cities, and institutional decentralisation, which means that higher education spreads to institutions outside the traditional universities (Kyvik 1983). These processes were enhanced in the 1960s, when regional political issues acquired increased attention in many countries, and the mapping of higher education institutions and programmes was drawn into this debate.]
