Changing Higher Education in East Asia

More about the book

"Higher education in East Asia is developing rapidly and attracting global attention. However, the region faces tensions during the internationalisation process. What is the regional character of East Asian higher education? What do these countries have in common and how are they different? How do internationalisation, indigenisation, westernisation, and globalisation interplay in this region? Bringing together experts from Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the UK and Vietnam, this book delves into these dynamics, offering original perspectives and robust evidence. It covers key issues around internationalisation and globalisation, such as the role of higher education in furthering the global public and common good, world-class universities, world citizenship education, the internationalisation of the humanities and social sciences, the governance of science, student and academic mobility, and the challenging question of how to advance regional cooperation"--
