“…The drive to reform was accompanied by an impetus to open up the country to the outside world. In 1979 full diplomatic relations were established with the United States, and by 1980 many tourists were entering China [15].…”

“…Recent revisionist literature by scholars such as Jude Howell from the London School of Economics has recognised that there is flexibility within the Chinese authoritarian system, and that it is not as authoritarian as it is made out to be. Since the late seventies, from the time of Deng Xiaoping, decentralisation of power has taken place (Mitter, 2008). We see the rise and spread of competitive village elections, the changing patterns in which individuals are being recruited to high profile party positions, the reform of the civil service, the gradual spread of rule of law and the invigoration of local and national parliaments (Howell, 2003).…”

The paper looks at security relations in the Asia Pacific region with a special focus on China, India and Pakistan. In doing so, the paper applies Gerald Segal's model to these case studies and tries to make an assessment as to how secure or insecure the region is. The four factors which have been taken into consideration to make this assessment include the nature of political systems, the levels of economic inter dependence, the role played by regional organisations and the balance of power. Finally, the paper argues, whilst some of these areas look good, a lot of them don't and much more needs to be done to make the region more secure. Going by this assessment, the prospects for security, by and large, look bleak.

Transnational partnerships in higher education in China: The diversity and complexity of elite strategic alliances

Transnational partnerships between universities can illustrate the changing political, social, and cultural terrain of global higher education. Drawing on secondary data analysis of government educational statistics, university web pages, and a comprehensive literature review, this article focuses on transnational partnerships with particular reference to China in order to illuminate the diversifying relationships between networks of global universities. International partnerships develop in historical, geographic, social, and cultural contexts and the analysis of Chinese universities’ partnerships across different social, cultural, and geopolitical contexts indicates that, even within the elite groups of universities, transnational partnerships are diverse and complex. This article aims to demonstrate that the spread of internationalization in the form of transnational partnership is not uniform but is influenced by complex contextual factors, some of which are accentuating inequalities in the system.
