This is the first book to systematically chart and comparatively
assess the trend towards private higher education in South East
Asia. Caught between conflicting imperatives of spiralling demand,
and limited resources, the balance between public and private
higher education systems in South East, South, and East Asia has
shifted markedly. The author's detailed case studies of Indonesia,
Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Viet Nam discuss and
analyse significant policy issues and touch on key debates
surrounding globalisation, including economic globalisation and
structural adjustment, and the pressures of cultural globalisation,
particularly the role of the English language. Debates surrounding
the role of higher education in the 'knowledge economy', GATS and
cross border trade in educational services are also treated,
including the rise of offshore campuses in countries such as
Malaysia and Viet Nam. What is argued is that we are witnessing not
merely a changing balance between public and private sectors, but a
blurring of borders between them, with public HEIs now often
behaving more like private, for-profit institutions. The book
charts and illustrates these trends, posing questions about their
meaning, including issues of transparency, equity, and what the
reforms might mean for traditional conceptions of public good in
higher education.
