This book examines the rise of Chinas global profile in the international higher education community, as indicated by its rise of human capital, visibility in academic publications, world university ranking, expanding international cultural influence, and becoming a study-abroad destination of international students. It identifies the diplomatic role of higher education in Chinas politico-economic development over a century, and how the role has been shaped by Chinas self-identity as a great power in the world.
Higher Education and China''s Global Rise provides an understanding of linkage between higher education and Chinas international influence, and a scholarly discussion of what Chinese higher education tells about Chinas international relations, especially the aims, means, and nature of Chinas rise as a global power. It will help to broaden perspectives surrounding debate about Chinas rise that is currently dominated by Western international relations theory and comparative higher education discourses.
