This book offers a critical examination of contemporary higher
education reforms in Thailand situated in the broader historical,
socio-economic and political changes. Through a qualitative case
study with three methods of inquiry, this book explores why
different 'global education policies' such quasi-privatisation,
internationalization, as quality assessment (QA) have resonated in
Thailand higher education sector. Grounded in policy borrowing and
lending, this book uses the politics, economics and culture of
borrowing to analyse major reforms in Thailand for the past one
hundred years. It is argued that historical legacy, policy contexts
and belief systems of policy elites play pivotal roles in
facilitating policy changes or the lack thereof. While historical
analysis elucidates that the Thai state has always been an active
borrower of western ideas, the perseverance of the 'Thai-ness'
discourse has often been used to suggest its so-called independence
and idiosyncrasy. This in-depth analysis of the Thai case aims to
contribute to the critical studies in Asian education, comparative
higher education, policy borrowing and lending and Thai studies.
The Culture of Borrowing intensively studies the policy
appropriation in the Thai education system by analysing: *
Selective Borrowing and the Historical Development of Thai Higher
Education * The Asian Economic Crisis as Window of Opportunity:
Autonomous University * Internationalization of Teaching:
Quantitative and Qualitative Challenges * The Emergence of Quality
Policies and their Rationales * The Intended and Unintended
Consequences of Quality Policies This book will appeal to
researchers in Education, particularly to scholars studying
educational policies within the context of tertiary education. It
will also interest scholars specialising in Asian and South-east
Asian Studies.
