Informationen zum Autor Author Deane E. Neubauer: Deane E. Neubauer is Emeritus Professor of Political Science at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, USA and Senior Advisor to the International Forum for Education program at the East-West Center, Honolulu, USA. Klappentext This volume examines the changes taking place within graduate education in the Asia Pacific Region. A collection of essays by distinguished scholars from eight Asia Pacific nations links profound changes occurring in the economies and societies of the region to the many changes taking place within higher education. Focusing on how the dynamics of a changing global economy are affecting the ways higher education institutions are responding, particular changes are seen to be taking place in graduate education as many societies experience the need to produce graduates of high quality with elevated qualifications. Such changes are not without challenge or difficulty as issues of finance. Questions of appropriate directions of innovation and overall higher education capacity continue to frame the broader issue of the changing nature of graduate education.
