This study utilizes the Three Horizons framework to assess the evolution and future of Thailand's scholarship programs in the context of ASEAN's educational cooperation. Through 27 stakeholder surveys and 18 semi-structured interviews, we explore three temporal dimensions: current challenges (Horizon 1…

Reputation Management in a Chinese and UK University
This study discusses the relationships between resource dependence, and reputation management (RM) through interviews with university managers regarding the use of social media by Chinese and UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This research enriches existing literature by providing a new and comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing university communication and reputational behaviour through the lens of Resource Dependence Theo…
Southeast Asia’s cross-regional research collaborations in the multiplex world
Context matters
Utilising and extending the Varieties of Capitalism model by Hall and Soskice (2001) and its use in higher education (HE) studies (Graf, European Journal of Education, 44 , 569–585, 2009), this paper illustrates the impact of diverse socio-economic contexts of partnering institutions on the policies and practices of transnational higher education in China. While prior research explored Sino-foreign cooperation models, much of it predates the pand…
Rethinking internationalisation
This article discusses the sustainability of higher education internationalisation and changing practice during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. While many previous studies frame the understanding of sustainable internationalisation within the discourse of environmental and financial sustainability, we view the sustainability of internationalisation in terms of ‘educational sustainability’ – a developmental process that is characterised by new p…
The post-racial myth
As the world recovers from the pandemic and anti-Asian hate crimes have been gradually disappearing from the headlines, this article offers a timely reflection on Chinese international students’ experiences and perceptions of racialised microaggressions during the pandemic, and, more importantly, takes the discussion further by deconstructing and challenging the underlying post-racial discourse. Based on 54 interviews with Chinese students from 1…
De-westernising competition
The discourse regarding globalisation and particularly ‘global competition’ has appeared in a range of socio-economic areas and higher education is no exception. Global competition has been the policy context in which a range of national excellence initiatives have been developed. These have often involved competitive processes with significant funding as a core incentive for universities to participate. Several countries have implemented these t…
Part 4
In this section, participants in the Universities in the Knowledge Economy project (UNIKE 2013–2017) and European Universities – Critical Futures (2019–2022) write about the distinctive features of these projects, their contribution to contemporary debates about the reform of higher education, and how Sue's ideas and ways of working influenced their own research and practice
An analysis of Chinese students’ use of Chinese essay references
Many studies have addressed the needs and challenges of international students in their host countries; however, there is relatively less work on the potential contributions these students make to their curricula. This article presents a bibliographic analysis of the academic references (n=7,273) used by Chinese students to construct their final essays on the theme of education and international development at a leading global university based in…
Market making and the (re)production of knowledge in public universities
This collection of short essays presents and examines six vignettes of organisational change in British, New Zealand and European universities. Drawing on the social studies of economisation literature, formal research projects and auto-ethnographic insights, the authors detail profound changes in how knowledge is produced in universities. They examine policy documents, calculative techniques and management practices to illustrate how proliferati…
Neo-tributary geopolitics in transnational higher education (TNHE)
This research explores how geopolitics and ‘Neo-tributary’ relations influence the distribution of TNHE partnerships in China. Specifically, this research situates China’s TNHE cooperation in policy reforms and designs since 2010, and explores how geopolitics influences the regional practice of re-organisation of the joint programmes between 2018 and 2020. The findings show that, on one hand, China’s central government prioritises the TNHE partne…
Impact case studies
The UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) introduced impact as an indicator in the evaluation of higher education research quality in 2014. Impact case studies (ICS) are the basis of this evaluation. ICS use narrative explanations of how research causes ‘benefits to society’. This article analyses the evolving roles of the ICS and the relationships of ICS with various stakeholders. It draws on insights from legitimacy theory, Porter’s analysis o…
