Focusing on the globalization of education in Hong Kong and Asia, this collection features twelve key papers by Gerard A. Postiglione that explore the region's educational diversity and complexity. Topics include the academic profession during Hong Kong's retrocession, reforms in ethnic minority education, and the emergence of world-class universities in mainland China. The work provides a comprehensive look at mass higher education amidst Asia's dynamic changes, showcasing Postiglione's significant contributions to comparative higher education studies.

Educational stratification in China during the reform era is critically analyzed, highlighting how market reform, financial decentralization, and economic globalization have intensified social and regional inequalities. The book argues that state policies have inadequately tackled these inequitable practices, providing a nuanced examination of the implications for education in the context of broader economic changes.
