Aims and Scopes

This book series presents the most important quality issues and the current
developments of higher education in Asian nations from multi-perspectives—
academics, university managers, QA bodies, governments and students. It makes
comparisons on these matters among Asian higher education systems, institutions,
and QA agencies, drawing on available data-sets with special emphasis on Quality,
Excellence and Governance.
The series attempts to incorporate the most important quality issues and the
current developments in Asian nations from multi-perspectives—academics,
university managers, QA bodies, governments and students into three major
dimensions—quality, excellence and governance. The scope of Asian region
includes four areas: East Asia, South Asia, Middle East Asia and the island Pacific
nations.

With a strong conviction to promote international research cooperation and inter-


nationalization of higher education, the editor of the present volume and his team
have actively engaged in organizing different kinds of international research events
to critically examine how and what major strategies that governments and educa-
tional institutions in East Asia have adopted to transform their education systems to
enhance their global competitiveness. This volume is developed from selected
papers presented at the 2013 Annual Conference of The Hong Kong Educational
Research Association with a theme of “Managing International Connectivity and
Diversity: Experiences of Asian World Cities”, the 10th East Asia Social Policy
(EASP) Conference organized successfully at Beijing Normal University in July
2013, as well as another international conference related to the theme of “Managing
Global Cities: Enhancing Hub Status and Implications for Education and
Development”, which was successfully held at the Hong Kong Institute of
Education in February 2014. These papers address different aspects of human
capital management, particularly how different East Asian economies have
reformed their higher education systems to achieve excellence and maintain global
competitiveness. Researchers and scholars who presented at these conferences
debated on issues related to the growing challenges of urbanization in East Asia,
especially the effects of the massification and privatization of higher education in
the region.
The editor would like to thank the Hong Kong Educational Research
Association (HKERA) of the East Asia Social Policy Research Network (EASP) for
creating a great international platform for researchers and academics coming from
different parts of the world to engage in debates and discussions related to
managing international connectivity, social mobility, graduate employment and
diversity of learning. The editor also extends his appreciation to One Asia
Foundation, Research Grants Council and Trade and Industry Department, The
Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) for

1.1 Introduction

Aiming to promote international research cooperation and internationalization of


higher education, the author and his team have actively engaged in organizing
different types of international research events to critically examine the major
strategies that governments and educational institutions in East Asia have adopted
to transform their education systems, and ultimately enhance their global compet-
itiveness. This volume is developed from select papers presented at three confer-
ences. These conferences include the 2013 Annual Conference of the Hong Kong
Educational Research Association, with the theme ‘Managing International
Connectivity and Diversity: Experiences of Asian World Cities’; the 10th East Asia
Social Policy (EASP) Conference at Beijing Normal University in July 2013; and a
Hong Kong Institute of Education conference with the theme ‘Managing Global
Cities: Enhancing Hub Status and Implications for Education and Development’, in
February 2014. These papers address different aspects of human capital manage-
ment, particularly how different East Asian economies have reformed their higher
education systems to achieve excellence and maintain global competitiveness.
Researchers and scholars who presented at these conferences debated on issues
related to the growing challenges of urbanization in East Asia, particularly the
effects of the massification and privatization of higher education in the region. The
principal objective of this introductory chapter is to highlight the major issues and
challenges confronting Asian countries when their higher education systems have
gone through a few transformative processes, namely massification, privatization
and marketization, as well as internationalization and transnationalization. All these
