ABSTRACT

The topic of governance is much discussed in the higher education literature. Corruption is less discussed, and mostly in general and cautionary terms. Yet there are important relations between the two. The current article critically examines the literature on governance in higher education and underlines the relationship to forms of corruption in the field. While much literature on corruption in education outlines regulatory practices, or Codes of Practice to limit its reach, the current analysis both reviews types of corruption in higher education, and illustrates them with actual examples from several systems of higher education in East and South East Asia. While corrupt practices in higher education are by no means unique to the region, (indeed examples can be found worldwide, in virtually every system), most rank poorly on conventional measures of transparency. The article advances our understanding of the complex and dynamic relationship between corruption and governance in higher education, in what is arguably the most dynamic world region.

摘要

高等教育文献中对治理的话题进行了很多讨论。关于腐败的讨论较少，主要是一般性和谨慎性。两者之间存在着重要的关系。本篇文章严格审查了有关高等教育管理的文献，并强调了该领域与腐败形式的关系。尽管许多关于教育腐败的文献都概述了监管实践或行为守则以限制其范围，但当前的分析既回顾了高等教育中的腐败类型，又用东亚和东南亚几种高等教育体系的实际例子进行了说明。 。尽管高等教育中的腐败行为绝不是该地区独有的，（实际上，几乎在每个系统中都可以找到类似的例子），大多数人在传统的透明度衡量标准上排名较差。这篇文章使我们对高等教育（最有活力的地区）中腐败与治理之间复杂而动态的关系有了更深入的了解。
