Abstract	The combination of neo-liberalism and the massification of higher education combined with the diminished public funds for higher education contributed to the rise of academic capitalism and entrepreneurship across higher education systems and institutions across the world. With the focus on human capital development and its contribution to economic development, higher education is increasingly located within the globally accepted knowledge-based economy discourse. Fiscal challenges, changes in funding mechanisms and the enhanced use of New Public Management in higher education, shifted funding of higher education to individual students and their families, supported the growth of private higher education, and promulgated the privatization of public higher education institutions. Most governments are utilizing New Public Management, which increases public accountability and transparency in the utilization of public funds, including those for higher education. Furthermore, there is an increasing trend and focus on research with economic and social applications rather than fundamental research. The mentioned trends and developments highlight the changing characteristic of higher education systems and institutions towards the scholarship of application, academic capitalism and entrepreneurship. These trends also hold in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, which aside from being influenced by globalization and its discourses, are ongoing a complex regionalization process to establish an ASEAN Community. This article seeks to understand public policy-related factors that contributes to academic capitalism and the establishment or reconfiguration of ASEAN universities into entrepreneurial universities.
