Comparative Study of Policy for Marketization in Higher Education in Asia-Pacific Area

本研究旨在厘清亚太地区、日本、韩国、中国、台北-中国等国家高等教育市场化政策的历程与特征。市场化的主要政策包括放松管制、引入评估和改变国家高等教育治理中的财政。在机构层面，还应该补充的是，这些国家采取了大学合并和加强机构自主权的做法。全球化加快了市场化的步伐，市场化鼓励了质量保证活动。高等教育公益性观念的转变是许多国家市场化进程不断扩大的原因之一。换言之，高等教育全球化意味着高等教育公共性的新概念，而不是以国家为基础的传统公共性。
