Hybrid governmentality: higher education policymaking in post-conflict Cambodia
研究了柬埔寨政府1993年后高等教育改革政策文本中的话语，提出其政策制定是一种混合治理术，既借用现代自由民主话语来合法化自身，又保留传统社会等级秩序和冲突遗留的话语。
This paper examines the kinds of higher education policy discourses embedded in major Cambodian higher education policy texts related to educational reform efforts undertaken by the government. The focus is on post-conflict Cambodia, that is, Cambodia since 1993 when the first national elections were organized after more than two decades of armed civil conflict. The paper argues that higher education policymaking in post-conflict Cambodia can be conceptualized as a new form of ‘hybrid governmentality’. In this hybrid form, the government draws on policy discourses associated with modern, liberal democracy to legitimize its existence. At the same time, it continues to insert its own discourses rooted in Cambodia’s traditional socio-cultural hierarchical order, unstable political frameworks, and legacies of prolonged civil upheaval.
