Abstract | U.S. and Chinese universities have engaged in four decades of collaboration since the late 1970s, but these partnerships are subject to potentially irregular forces. Only long-term sustainable partnerships have the potential to develop into reciprocal relationships that establish "negotiated space" around cultural differences. This paper utilizes a qualitative single case study design to explore the factors contributing to the long-term sustainability of U.S.-China higher education partnerships. The findings indicate that a set of essential enablers must be in place to foster long-term and sustainable global partnerships: Leadership, faculty and staff engagement, and policy support. International partnerships must be responsive to the changing needs of the students, faculty, and administrators and to external political, economic, and ideological factors. Critical to the sustainability of any long-term partnership is a shared commitment by both institutions. (As Provided). |
