ABSTRACT
The creation of cooperative educational institutions on Chinese soil, involving foreign and indigenous participation, represents a collective form of knowledge transfer that may touch China in a deeper way than the individual contributions of scholars and students returning there under the various bilateral agreements discussed in chapter 5. Such institutions have significant precedents in China's historical experience, and it is possible to look back and see how they became absorbed over time into China's own modernizing higher education system. They may also be judged from the perspective of world order models scholarship.
