This volume analyzes the dominance of STEM fields in various
university rankings and the reasons why many governments in the
world disproportionately give value to STEM fields. Secondly,
although there is general agreement that STEM fields are important,
chapter authors also examine the role of interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary approaches for a revised STEM education as well
as implications for the future. The book presents examples from the
United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.
This book addresses important questions and puzzles regarding the
massification of higher education in Asia. It equips readers to
critically evaluate and understand the consequences and challenges
that massification entails, while also prompting policymakers and
higher education administrators to tackle emerging issues related
to the massification of higher education. Readers will gain a
deeper, nuanced understanding of this trend, including its impacts
and governance issues.

This book examines four theses regarding higher education and
development in the Asian region: the interplay between cultural
traditions, economic development, globalization, and the evolution
of the 'hybrid' university. Top scholars from around the world
evaluate how closely these hypotheses resemble present
circumstances and policies and seek to determine the elements
making up Asia-Pacific higher education and shaping the region's
education history.

This book responds to the growing unease of educators and
non-educators alike about the inadequacy of most current
educational systems and programs to meet sufficiently the demands
of fast changing societies. These systems and programs evolved and
were developed in and for societies that have long been
transformed, and yet no parallel transformation has taken place in
the education systems they spawned. In the last twenty years or so,
other sectors of society, such as transportation and communications
systems, have radically changed the way they operate, but education
has remained essentially the same. There is no doubt: education
needs to change.To those ready to accept this challenge, this book
represents a welcome guide. Unlike most books on educational
policy, this volume does not focus on improving existing
educational systems but on changing them altogether.
Born out of a bilateral project between distinguished scholars in
Japan and the United States, Transnational Competence provides a
definitive and comprehensive study of the status of relations
between these two countries in an educational context.
