| Summary |
"This volume seeks to identify and explore the dynamics of global forces on the development of higher education in Asia, in particular, how neoliberalism has affected reforms on university governance and management in the region. It includes a set of country-specific studies on how various countries have responded to the dominant neoliberal ideology at the systemic, institutional and process levels. The focus is on the relationship between the state and the universities which is usually reflected in the degree of autonomy and accountability allowed in a particular higher education system. The selected countries are Cambodia, China, Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand. Each case study examines the establishment of corporatized or autonomous universities in the country focusing on (i) the Acts, reports and/or policies that led to such a move as well as the rationales behind the move; (ii) the changes in the governance and organizational structure of the universities, highlighting the kinds of autonomy that the universities have; (iii) the new management strategies, techniques and practices that have been introduced to the university including the internal and external quality assurance mechanisms, and (iv) some of the tensions, conflicts and acts of resistance that may have emerged"-- Provided by publisher |
