Since the mid-20th century, literature on the state, market, and higher education has focused on the state’s shifting role from the direct administration to the supervision of higher education, and its increased use of market and managerial principles and techniques to regulate public universities. However, very few studies have addressed the political influences on university governance produced by changing state-university-market relationships, the chancellorship of public universities, or students’ and academics’ civic engagement with regard to sensitive political issues. The book examines both the positive and problematic outcomes of using market principles and managerialism to reform public higher education; questions the longstanding tradition of university chancellorship; explores the issue of external members holding the majority on university governing boards; probes into the dilemma of either relying on the system or a good chancellor and external members to preserve universities’ autonomy and academic freedom; and assesses the cost of students’ and academics’ civic engagement with regard to politically sensitive issues.Governance and Citizenship in Asia,2365-6263Education and stateEducation, HigherEducational sociologySchool management and organizationSchool management and organizationEducational Policy and PoliticsHigher EducationSociology of EducationOrganization and LeadershipEducation and state.Education, Higher.Educational sociology.School management and organization.School management and organization.Educational Policy and Politics.Higher Education.Sociology of Education.Organization and Leadership.379Law Wing-Wahauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058959BOOK9910350330903321Politics, Managerialism, and University Governance2503324UNINA
