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.
