Opis

This edited volume offers a comprehensive reference point to an interdisciplinary and trans-boundary analysis of the sustainability of Asian tertiary education systems. The four sections of the volume –Collaborations, Transformations, Global-Local Tensions, and Future Developments—reflect the current conditions, ongoing changes, and new directions of the universities’ transformative contribution to the 2030 UN Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The chapters in this volume draw on inquiries and experiences from 12 research projects conducted in Asia, featuring cases from South Korea, Kazakhstan, Russia, and China, and include regions such as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, Ural-Siberian, and the Far Eastern regions of Russia. The collection of the studies presented in this volume offers a general framework for sustainable tertiary education that, with some adaptations, could be applied to other tertiary education systems in the world. The present volume, Sustainable Tertiary Education in Asia: Policies, Practices, and Developments, contributes to the research arena of Higher Education Sustainability by fostering a cross-cultural dialog among sustainability stakeholders of tertiary education in Asia and beyond.
