Maintaining Global Engagement in the Face of National Integration in Hong Kong.
Postiglione, Gerard A.
Comparative Education Review, v42 n1 p30-45 Feb 1998
The academic profession in Hong Kong wrestles with preserving academic freedom and institutional autonomy during retrocession to Chinese sovereignty, while also dealing with issues related to rapid expansion and increasing student diversity, increased pressure to improve standards of research and teaching, and devolution of responsibility for institutional governance. Faculty characteristics and attitudes in Hong Kong and China are compared. (SV)
