Regulatory Governance:Reflection and Approach on the External Quality Assurance System of Higher Education in China
The quasi public product characteristics of higher education determine the appropriateness and urgency of introducing government regulation theory to analyze the external quality assurance system of higher education in China.Government regulation has rich connotations in terms of the quality of higher education,manifested in the national will to accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system,the national discourse reflecting Chinese wisdom and solutions,the national order highlighting the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics,and the national need to cultivate high-quality talents of various types.An unavoidable issue is that government regulation also faces the possibility of"regulatory failure".Characterized by:the layered reinforcement of policy objectives and monitoring from a political perspective,the layered attenuation of policy tools and feedback,and doubts about the authority and legitimacy of government regulation;The emergence of"economic agents"with bounded rationality,rationality,and self-interest determined by incomplete information from an economic perspective;From a cultural perspective,the emphasis is on politics over efficiency,and on human relationships over the rule of law.Following the logic of"external change-internal improvement",the"regulatory governance"advocates relaxing regulations,incentivizing regulations,cooperating regulations,and legal regulations,providing new ideas and ways to optimize the external quality assurance system of higher education in China.
