Teresa Brawner Bevis

A History of Higher Education Exchange (eBook, ePUB)

China and America

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Weakened by two Opium Wars and a succession of internal rebellions in the mid-1800s, China's imperial leaders made a historic decision-to break a tradition of isolation and seek education outside the homeland's borders. This book does not attempt to debate or determine the extent to which higher education exchange with the United States has impacted China's rise. Instead it focuses on the story itself-of Sino-American education trade from its roots in antiquity to the present time-highlighting the people, programs, trials and triumphs that have wrought its extraordinary history.
