Abstract
How might we “explain” the particular pathways that higher education (HE thereafter) has taken in the Asia Pacific region, especially with respect to its social, economic, and cultural dimensions? This question was the problematic for a seminar organized by the East-West Center and Seoul National University (SNU) and with the cooperation of UNESCO Bangkok held at SNU in May 2012. Twelve scholars from throughout the region addressed this subject over the course of three days. The papers that resulted from this process have been revised and constitute the majority contents of this volume.
