Palgrave Studies on Chinese Education in a Global Perspective

Series Editors Fred Dervin Department of Teacher Education University of Helsinki Helsinki, Finland Xiangyun Du Confucius Institute Aalborg University Aalborg, Denmark “The burgeoning literature on Chinese international students is dominated by writers and researchers from host institutions who inevitably present issues through the prism of their own experience. Lily Ye, in contrast is one of a small but growing generation of Chinese writers who have received their post-­ graduate education in the English-speaking world and are thus able to draw both on the perspectives of fellow students and on their own lived experience. Dr Ye’s use of Giddens’ project of the reflective self to interpret the narratives of Chinese PhD students is original, exciting, challenging and illuminating. Participants emerge not as passive victims of a system where they often face multiple disadvantages, but as active agents who mould their international experiences in ways which mirror their aspirations.” —Professor Viv Edwards, University of Reading, UK

The transformation of China into a global super-power is often attributed to the country’s robust education system and this series seeks to provide a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of the development of Chinese education on a global scale. The books in this series will analyze and problematize the revolutions, reforms, innovations and transformations of Chinese education that are often misunderstood or misrepresented beyond its own borders and will examine the changes in Chinese education over the past 30 years and the issues as well as challenges that the future of Chinese education faces.
