'What a crucial book this is! Ka Ho Mok has brought China's social policy, higher education and global strategy to the world. China's governance, society and economy, which are immensely complex, will be seminal to the human future, as significant as the Euro-American countries and also different in important ways. Understanding the dynamism of China's achievements, which began in massive poverty and continue to be subject to geopolitical containment, taking in both the general lessons and the specifically Chinese characteristics, is crucial to all of us. Professor Mok's clear thinking and wide vision is in the tradition of the best scholarly-practical work.' Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford and Director of the ESRC/RE Centre for Global Higher Education, UK 'We need to understand Global China's many forms. This important and timely book does much of that work for us.' Anthony Welch, Professor of Education, University of Sydney, Australia 'This is by far the most important book that has been written on the social policy and governance responses to globalization in China. Professor Ka Ho Mok's world leading expertise provides important new insights into both recent and historical developments which go beyond the usual narrow globalization focus on international trade and the economy.' David Gordon, FBA FRSA, UK
