within the academic community. This is based on the established thesis that
the change in the state’s attitude towards universities was the result of the

the interwar era. Therefore, the contrast between these two legislative texts
represents a movement away from the liberal to a post-liberal order2.
Our main thesis is the assumption that the shortcomings of the liberal

new governance of universities in a post-liberal though still democratic state.
As centres of information and innovation, universities were an obvious
part of the debate on the future of liberal governance and the opportunities to
develop the expert management of society3. Experts connected with univer-
sities traditionally expected special treatment, even when universities and
other higher education institutes were de jure a solid and undisputed part of
the state administration4-
