In this chapter, we revisit our observations on Swedish higher education
from the previous chapters. We initially discuss the relation between
governing, evaluation, and knowledge. Then, we go back to the ideal
typical notion of increasingly institutionalised evaluation machinery
and locate the important work of what we label as qualocrats and what
may be termed the burden of judgements within this overall frame. We
finally discuss the expansion and the increasing complexity of
evaluation and quality assurance work in higher education and point to
some possible implications and problems.
