Trying to understand "This Brave New World"

There's nothing subjective about it... Regardless of the widely held perception that Western countries sit atop the world's heap in regard to higher education, the future most likely is in Asia. By virtue of numbers alone, China and India now provide the greatest growth opportunities for those educators who want to be part of change and expansion. This Brave New World (book review by Joshua Kim) could be a helpful resource for those who want more background on what the dynamics are like in these two important countries.

Some educators may believe that we can pass on informing ourselves about China, India, and many other nations. However, it makes little difference that we may never set foot in these countries. If a significant future for our work will take place in, and will need to relate to, China and India, it's time we begin to inform ourselves.
