The global order, based on international governance and multilateral trade mechanisms in the aftermath of the Second World War, is changing rapidly and creating waves of uncertainty. Meanwhile, China has launched its “New Silk Road” (NSR) and is developing its higher education and research systems at speed.

In this an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars from Europe, China, the USA, Russia, and Australia, who were engaged in a two-year , investigate how academic mobility and cooperation is taking shape along the New Silk Road and what difference it will make, if any, in the global higher education landscape. Coordinated by the Centre for Global Challenges, multiple researchers from Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� made contributions to this book, resulting in a rich, multidisciplinary perspective. The book presents perspectives from higher education (Prof. dr. Marijk van der Wende), economics (Prof. dr. Charles van Marrewijk), law (Prof. dr. Henk Kummeling, Prof. mr. dr. Sybe de Vries, Prof. mr. dr. A. Ton van den Brink, Stijn van Deursen), humanities (Prof. dr. Marcus Düwell, Dasha Düring) and computer science (Prof. Lynda Hardman). 

Features of the book:

• Provides an interdisciplinary and international perspective on one of the most important geopolitical trends of the 21st century
• Reveals the increasing strategic importance, complexity, and rising tensions in international West-East academic cooperation-
• An invaluable resource for both scholars and policy makers in higher education
