The Asia Pacific region is rapidly developing a wide variety of organizations and interactive patterns that are reflective of its increasing role in global economic and political engagements. Higher education constitutes a distinct sphere of activity within this overall pattern of regionalization. Within this larger pattern, however, are important, observable differences in how national development persists in some instances but is overcome in others by the forces propelling regionalization. This volume seeks to provide a useful conceptual structure for the description and analysis of these phenomena, illustrated by insightful case studies of the role performed in this overall trend of individual nations toward regionalization.
