Dennis Yang is member of the US Foreign Service and regional English language officer at the US Department of State.

Yang situates the contemporary development of American universities in China within a similar but failed historical experiment in Japan in the 1980s. This innovative and detailed comparison of US universities in Japan and China is a timely and critical intervention into a field that has often taken an ahistorical approach to university internationalization. Astutely argued and clearly-written, Yang’s book should be required reading for any university planning to engage abroad.
