Abstract
This brief introduction sketches our sense of the “dynamic global contexts” that currently are redefining Asia Pacific higher education (HE). Included within this brief framework review are issues of cross-border education, the differentiating effects of national tensions to align HE capacity with differential national birthrate profiles, the pressures created within all Asia Pacific HE systems by the dynamic and continual development of ranking/status systems, and complex shifts in the meanings of the public good as they are presented within these societies and affect current balances between the historic provision of public and private HE.
