| contents | China’s Universities and Social Change: Expectations, Aspirations, and Consequences David S. G. Goodman Relaciones Internacionales China economic growth higher education political change social development Studies of higher education often assume that there is a close relationship between economic growth, social change, and political transformation. It is argued that economic growth leads not simply to a demand for the expansion of higher education but also an increase in social equity in admissions to uni- versities. Students become more radicalised through this process; and both through economic growth and the expansion of higher education, academic staff who are the core after all of a society’s public intellectuals, also become the voice for political transformation. The evidence from the People’s Republic of China is that while there has been massive economic growth during the last thirty years, and an equally dramatic expansion of higher education since 1997, the consequences for higher education in terms of social change have been considerably more limited. Moreover, while there have been some voices for limited political transformation from staff and students, the demands for regime change that might have been expected given the experiences of other countries are virtually non-existent. 2015 artículo científico 1665-0174 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=433747302003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4337 México y la Cuenca del Pacífico application/pdf Universidad de Guadalajara México y la Cuenca del Pacífico (México) Num.12 |
