Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibility of using the findings and theories of interest group studies in political science to examine association of universities, which have not been systematically examined in higher education policy, as actors to ensure the autonomy of universities. Firstly, from a review of previous studies, three issues in the study of university associations were identified: organization and structure and the influence of university associations, the relationships between university associations and other actors, and the use and availability of information. Subsequently, a series of studies by Muramatsu and Tsujinaka in political science were examined in response to the issues of university associations. As a result, it was shown that the study of interest groups can be applied to the three issues highlighted above regarding the study of university associations. In addition, the study of educational interest groups confirmed the functions of political and administrative aspects unique to education, which can be applied to the functions of university associations in higher education administration.
