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
corporatised 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 organisational 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.
