The necessity for research on the place of universities in contemporary Chinese society may be seen from current debates about and policy towards issues of educational inequality at Chinese universities. Many questions arise as a consequence: What are the limitations of neo-liberalism in higher education policy and what are the alternatives? How has the Chinese government met the challenges of educational inequality, and what lessons may be learned from its recent initiatives? How may higher education enhance social justice in Chinese society given economic, social, and cultural inequality? What may be learned from the experience of Macau, Hong Kong, and of Taiwan in terms of achieving social justice in Chinese universities? These questions are considered by a group of leading scholars from both inside and outside China"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Educational sociology -- China Social justice -- China Education, Higher -- Economic aspects -- China Educational equalization -- China Educational change -- China SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Ethnic Studies -- General.
