Abstract
This chapter discusses changes in Polish higher education related to marketization.
The wider context is the transition from a command-driven, communist economy to a market-driven, op en economy and from a communist authoritarian bureaucracy to a parliamentary democracy. The chapter discusses funding mechanisms with respect to institutions, teaching and research; distinct
processes marking the turn toward marketization—increasing financial self
-reliance of academic institutions and external privatization (growth in the number
of private sector providers) and internal privatization (finance-driven cost-recovery mechanisms in public sector institutions). Finally, the chapter discusses market forces in the context of Polish educational policies and offers some concluding remarks.
