Description
Introduction The Higher Education System in the Philippines is in a state of transition. In the recent past, several reports have been written concerning higher education in the country (Asian Development Bank, 2001, 2002; Arcelo, 2003; Vorderstrasse, Cooney, Cummings, Schuning, Shier, & Watkins, 2001). The Philippines is classified as a middle development economy in the Asia-Pacific region and research networks and coalitions are becoming increasingly important in industry and at universities (Braddock, 2002: p. 291; Marginson, 2004; Cummings, 2006). After the Asian financial crisis in 1998, which also affected the Philippine economy deeply, the government stimulated development in order to manage the public debt and to improve the republic's infrastructure including its higher education system. As elsewhere, higher education in the Philippines is confronted with the pressures of globalisation (Altbach, 2001; Braddock 2002). Under the impact of globalization, "... higher education institutes' task environment changed dramatically in the last twenty years ..." (Vaira, 2004: p. 489). Dominant global discourses challenge the governance of universities to meet the demands of "knowledge-based societies" (De Guzman, Dela Rosa, & Arcangel, 2005; Meek & Suwanwela, 2007) for which the nurturing of local ties between research, teaching and community service is crucial.
