Abstract
This book examines issues that have emerged as higher education systems and individual institutions across East Asia confront and adapt to the changing economic, social, and educational environments in which they now operate. The focus is on how higher education systems learn from one another and the ways that higher education institutions collaborate to address new challenges. The sub-theme that runs throughout this volume concerns the changing nature of cross-border sharing in higher education. In particular, the provision of technical assistance by more industrialized countries to lower and middle income countries has given way to collaborations that place the latter’s participating institutions on more equal footing. At the same time, the number of partnerships linking higher education systems within the larger East Asia region to one another has increased.
