About this book
This book studies the multi-dimensional development and landscapes of the internationalization of China's higher education throughout the past four decades, illustrating its trajectory from the periphery to the centre of the global higher education system.
Combining solid theoretical elucidation and rich empirical studies, the author systematically reviews the key relevant concepts and examines policies and practices of higher education internationalization in China based on rich data gathered from interviews and surveys on overseas Chinese scholars, academic returnees, and international students. With a focus on "internationalization at home" and "transnational academic mobility", the book analyzes the core topics and phenomena of China's internationalizing higher education, including Chinese students studying abroad, overseas academics returning to China, international students in China, Sino-foreign cooperative education, and internationalization of higher education in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai.
Seeking to offer valuable experience, reflections, and policy reference, this book will be of great value for researchers, policymakers, and university administrators interested in the internationalization of higher education and especially China's successful cases.
