The article argues, first, that the underlying characteristics of higher education research such as sector-isolatedness, applicationdrift and sensitivity to political agendas hindered the development of sector-specific theories of policy implementation. Second, this gap in theory formation started to be narrowed from the late 1990s onwards, due to critical reappraisal of the 1986 study and due to limited utilisation of mid-range theory concepts conceived within or related to the public policy field. It is through the utilisation of such public policy theory that higher education implementation research may reach a m
