Authors: Natalya Yu. Vlasova and Yelena L. Molokova

Abstract:

The paper examines market and state regulation of the national higher education system under the conditions of harmonizing international educational space. Transformation of the institutional environment of educational space dictates the need to search for the efficient combination of market and state regulators to support higher education development. Intensive state regulation along with developing market approach to educational process justifies the relevance of assessing the synergy and efficiency of interaction between market and state regulators. The article presents theoretical approaches to the concept and indicators of market and state impact on higher education system and gives the evaluation of their efficiency. The authors prove the hypothesis about reinforced state regulation with simultaneous extension of market toolkit to stimulate Russian education system. The research demonstrated that the main conceptual problem is that market and state regulators are not adequately balanced. Thus, Russia faces the challenge of finding its own model of combining market and the state in the national higher education which is now integrating into global educational space.

Keywords: market regulator; state regulator; educational services market; higher education models; combination of market and state regulation.
