The present volume sets out in the wider context of
globalization to critically examine how selected countries /
societies in Asia have responded to the growing pressures of
globalization for improving university performance in the global
market place. In order to enhance the global competitiveness of
their higher education systems, many governments in Asia have
started comprehensive reforms and adopted new governance measures
to enhance their universities. Incorporation and corporatization
have been identified as important strategies to restructure and
re-engineer university governance around the world. Contributors in
this volume critically examine how the quest for 'world-class'
university status (as a global movement) has affected the way their
universities are governed. Despite the popularity of management
reforms and restructuring exercises in line with neoliberalism and
managerialism worldwide, whether and how these reforms have
actually transformed the heart of the public sector is still
subject to debate. This book offers critical reflections on the
governance change taking place in the Asian university systems and
examines how far the restructuring of higher education governance
through incorporation, privatization, and corporatization has
really transformed the values and practices of those who work in
the higher education sector.
