Xin Wang is associate professor of Chinese Studies and acting director of Asian Studies at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
As a young scholar who has received education from China and the
U.S., Wang Xin writes about higher education in his home country
with analytical perspective and rich understanding of China?s
social and political contexts. Full of insight, his book integrates
the study of Chinese higher education with international
standpoint. I enthusiastically recommend this book to the students
and scholars who want to know more about the future direction of
the higher education research and study in China.

This well-researched volume offers fascinating insights into the
character of doctoral programs in the field of higher education in
China. Programs at eight leading universities are profiled and
interesting comparisons are made with the way in which this field
developed at an earlier period in the United States. An informative
and thought-provoking study, this is essential reading for those
who wish to understand the scholarship behind the rapid development
of Chinese universities in recent years.
