Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This edited volume compiles analyses from a major international research program (PPAQ) that examine fourteen different national approaches to academic-quality assurance. It assesses the goals, implementation challenges, and impacts of “innovative” policy instruments — from external-examiner systems and accreditation councils, to national rankings, student-survey instruments, regulatory frameworks, and funding-linked performance measures. The book concludes by drawing lessons and proposing conditions under which such policies can safeguard or improve academic standards globally
