Abstract	This book is concerned with the conplex impact of the West on higher education in Asia. Our concern is not only with the historical influence of the colonial past but with contemporary interactions between Asian higher education and the industrialized nations of Europe and North America. Our purpose is to present a range of experiences, to show the variety of Western impacts and to contribute to an understanding of higher education by highlighting a key facet of reality - the interaction of higher education systems.... This book does suggest new ways of looking at Asian higher education. It is first of all clear that East-West educational relations. even during the colonial period, were never unidirectional. Asian nations played a key role in shaping their own educational realities from the beginning. In the period since World War Two, Asian higher education systems have developed impressively -and in a variety of directions. The impact of the West remains in all the countries considered here, but academic system is basically independent. It is clear that the Western impact is multifaceted and operates in quite different ways in different countries. It is no longer the dominant force in any of the nations considered here.
