This book, first published in 1987, studies the practical and
intellectual import of China's educational relations with the
industrialised West, the Soviet Union and Japan. On the practical
level, it provides a broad historical and philosophical context
within which the possibilities and dangers inherent in China's
educational involvement with developed countries may be considered.
The book tests the theory that education transfers from the
developed to the developing world have been used to consolidate
political domination and economic exploitation by providing a
detailed and provocative historical analysis of China's relations
with the major developed nations.

This reissue (1996) provides an in-depth analysis of the
development of the Chinese university during the twentieth century
- a period of momentous social, economic, cultural and political
change. It brings together reflections on the Chinese university
and its role in the two great experiments of modern China:
Nationalist efforts to create a modern state as part of capitalist
modernisation, and the Communist project of socialist construction
under Soviet tutelage. In addition to these two frames of
discourse, other models and patterns are examined: for instance,
the persistence of cultural patterns, or Maoist revolutionary
thought.

This first comprehensive account of Chinese higher education during
the modern period examines the first hundred years of the
development of universities in China, with special emphasis on the
cultural patterns that shaped them in ways that differed from the
development of Western universities. The first chapter compares
Chinese and Western traditions of higher education and sets the
Chinese experience in the wider historic framework of imperialism
and colonialism. The rest of the volume traces the development of
Chinese universities chronologically, with three main themes
explored in each period: the knowledge map, or the struggle to
develop a modern curriculum; the gender map or issues around the
participation of women as students and teachers in modern higher
education; and the geographical map, or the efforts to ensure that
modern higher education became accessible throughout the whole
country. The periods covered by the volume are the republican
(1911-1949), the socialist period (1949-1976), the reform decade
(1978-1990), and the movement toward mass higher education in the
1990s. An index is included.

This book brings together English translations of thirteen research
papers published in recent years by Chinese historians,
sociologists, and educators. These papers investigate various
dimensions of the legacy of China’s historic The Christian
Universities which continues to inspire higher education reform in
China even in the twenty-first century. This book focuses on
Christian Universities, which fostered a particularly notable
Liberal Arts Education in the Chinese context. Besides embracing
some ideals in common with Liberal Arts Education developed in the
West, their Liberal Arts Education curriculum had an emphasis on
readings in the classics, history, philosophy, religion, ethics,
and literature which conveyed traditional Chinese values. The
Christian Universities also shared a strong commitment to moral
formation, community service, and global citizenship education.
This book emphasizes Liberal Arts Education that focused on the
whole person, where academic knowledge, skills, and character were
equally valued. The book presents distinctive characteristics of
the study of Christian higher education in China and the interplay
between globalization and localization.

move onto the world stage.

Bridging Minds Across the Pacific offers new insight into
U.S.-China relations by looking at the far-reaching dynamics of
educational exchanges between these two countries. Deng Xiaoping's
milestone decision in 1978 to send a large number of Chinese
nationals to study in the United States has fostered increased
cross-Pacific dialogue among academics. In recent years a tidal
wave of "returnees" who studied abroad have moved back to China.
Cheng Li and this volume's distinguished contributors examine how
these individuals are working to shape their home country,
especially in social science curriculum development,
program-building, and research, and in public policy formation.
This book explores whether sweeping educational exchanges between
these two profoundly different countries have promoted productive
mutual understanding.
