Abstract	The Japanese pattern of development in post-war higher education has been created by changes in the balance between two forces, that of expansion (exemplified particularly in the private sector) and that of control (manifested most frequently by government planners). The article identifies cycles of expansion and consolidation corresponding to changes in social circumstances. The most important of these social factors has been the impact of demographic variations on demand and supply. ... In effect Japanese higher education could be said to be moving towards the market model of provision as institutions, mindful of the prospect of declining cohorts in the future, seek to maintain their levels of recruitment. The article considers some of the changes in the system which are likely to be introduced in response to the changed circumstances of the year 2000 and beyond, including those which focus upon the maintenance of educational quality.
