The Roles of Government and Quality Assurance in the Globalization of Higher Education Market

本研究以高等教育服务贸易的国际竞争为研究对象，探讨高等教育服务贸易中市场、政府和质量保障的作用。今年，我们对智利的高等教育进行了一项调查，这是我们去年无法进行的，并在英国和美国进行了补充调查。研究结果总结如下：1.教育的特征从市场的角度来看，在于其公共性和不确定性。在企业管理和投资领域，不确定性通常被认为是应该避免的。在教育部门。2.库珀会议的“审议摘要”中包括了对高等教育跨越国界的制度地位的一般性国际比较分析，这为高等教育服务贸易提供了一个前提 关于我们 国际大学质量保证调查的积极研究人员“-这是与该项目一起沿着组织的一系列会议，该项目的代表作为成员出席了这些会议。因此，本研究分析了机构的地位，以及这种地位对各国教育制度的影响。3.由于日本高等教育市场受到语言的天然屏障保护，而且目前供给过剩，外国大学入侵国内市场的机会很小。但是，高等教育服务行业同时也是一个相互比较的网络，因此，我们应该避免日本大学的水平因脱离这个网络而得不到认可的情况。本文指出，虽然不能指望日本的高等教育成为一个大的出口产业，但日本中等大学的国际化是有意义的，因为它使日本的高等教育进入了一个相互比较的网络。少

This study focuses on international competitions including the trade in higher education services, to examine the roles of the market, government and the quality assurance. This year, we have conducted the a survey of the higher education in Chile, which we could not carry out last year, and supplemental surveys in the UK and the USA.

Hence, we have analyzed in this study the institutional positions, as well as the influence of such positions to education systems in various countries.3.As Japanese higher education market is protected by a natural barrier of the language, and also it is excess in supply at the present, the chance of overseas universities to invade the national market is small. However, trades in higher education services is at the same time a network of intercomparison, and therefore, we should try to avoid the situation where the standard of Japanese universities go unrecognized due to their detachment from this network. We have pointed out in this paper, that we could not expect higher education in Japan to be a large export industry, but the internationalization of Japanese middle-level universities would be meaningful, in a sense they allow higher education in Japan to enter this network of intercomparison.
