The effects of the de-regulation of the Chinese university system
have been nothing short of spectacular. For the first time since
1949, students possessing neither gifted intellect nor political
connections have been able to share in the benefits of higher
education, while a flood of international educators have opened up
a previously cloistered and politically sensitized academic world.
This fascinating book examines China's higher education system, and
how it's new and unique blend of foreign and Chinese perspectives
impact on both the lives of students and academics and wider
Chinese society. Viewed with suspicion as a new type of Chinese by
the older generation and by the government, they are at the same
time the very entrepreneurs driving the economic and social
revolution sweeping the country. Using a range of in-depth
interviews and unique research, it provides open and often frank
accounts of life, work and education in China, from the Cultural
Revolution to the creation of its market-focused entrepreneurial
generation. Candid and illuminating, this is a book no serious
reader of Asian studies, comparative education or Asian sociology
will want to be without.

Globalization is changing the face of Higher Education across the
world. Academics and students today are internationally mobiles and
unprecedented numbers of international exchanges are cross-border
education projects are being developed. The implications for
individual universities are significant: international students can
bring much needed revenues to boost university coffers and
stimulate university classrooms but they also have high
expectations and demands. This book discusses the implications for
those involved in managing the organizational processes and those
designing programmes and supporting the student experience. A key
concern in the text is that of reciprocal internationalization -
the importance for universities to develop within an
internationally-integrated environment rather than as national
universities which accommodate the needs of people from other
countries into their pre-existing practices. The emphasis
throughout the discussion is therefore on the development of
inter-cultural competences for university people supported by
sustainable international management practices.
