Europe, Asia and higher education regionalism

Que Ahn Dang's summary of the growing regionalism trend in higher education provides a picture of increased cooperative work within Europe and Asia and between the two. Using Europe's Bologna agreement as an example, other regions have begun to adopt statements across countries that offer frameworks for cooperation. The author concludes with a warning that lauds the regionalization movement but warns, "Let's hope they (i.e. the agreements) are about advancing scholarship, connecting cultures and individuals, and about building a different future instead of reshuffling old ideas, pandering to economic concerns, or play to the hegemon's tune."
