This book examines the policies and realities of internationalization of higher education (IHE) in China.
The author constructs a theoretical framework by drawing on theories of state formation, globalization, internationalization of higher education, and education policy. Using a constructivist-interpretive qualitative approach, the author examines China's state policy on IHE between 1949 and 2019 and the reality of IHE at three universities in China. From a "policy into practice" perspective, the book highlights the tensions, challenges, and possibilities between macro state policy narratives and institutional realities. It offers insights into the policy-making and practice of IHE.
The book will appeal to scholars of higher education, sociology of education, and comparative and international education.
Jie Zheng is an associate professor at the Faculty of Education, East China Normal University, China.
