"This well-rounded volume provides many important insights into issues of concern in the aftermath of China’s dramatic expansion to a mass system of higher education, between 1999 and 2006... A great deal of attention has been given to China’s dramatic move to mass higher education in recent years, but this valuable collection takes us beyond that, with its focus on the subsequent challenges of quality, sustainability, and integration into the global higher education community... A careful reading will be most rewarding for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of China’s global role and engage with Chinese higher education in mutually beneficial collaboration." - Ruth Hayhoe, professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto; China Review International"To date, this is the most comprehensive book published in English documenting and analysing the different dimensions of the massification of higher education in China, as well as its background, challenges, and societal and economic consequences." - Yuzhuo Cai, University of Tampere
