As countries across Asia continue to rise and become more assertive
global powers, the role that Higher Education has played, and
continues to play, in this process is an issue of growing
pertinence. Furthermore, understanding the relationship between
Europe and Asia fostered by historical and contemporary knowledge
transfer, including Higher Education, is crucial to analysing and
encouraging the progress of both regional integration and
inter-regional cooperation. With a specific focus on international
Higher Education, European Studies in Asia investigates knowledge
transfer and channels of learning between Europe and Asia from
historical, contemporary and teaching perspectives. The book
examines a selection of significant historical precedents of
intellectual dialogue between the two regions and, in turn,
explores contemporary cross-regional discourses both inside and
outside of the official frameworks of the European Union (EU) and
the Asia--Europe Meetings (ASEM). Drawing on extensive case studies
based on many of his own teaching experiences, Georg Wiessala
addresses key questions, such as the nature and construction of the
European Studies in Asia curriculum; aspects of 'values',
co-constructed learning and adult pedagogy in the discipline of
European Studies in Asia; the politics of Asian host cultures, the
'internationalization' of Asian Higher Education and the
experiences and expectations of tertiary sector students of this
subject in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In doing so, the author
articulates a range of outcomes for the further development of
Higher Education cooperation agendas between Asia and Europe, in
the discipline of European Studies, and in related fields such as
International Relations. This case study-led book makes an original
and novel contribution to our understanding of European Studies in
Asia. As such, it will be of great interest to students and
scholars of Asian Education, Comparative Education, European
Studies and International Relations.
