Abstract
In this concluding chapter, we seek to extract from the foregoing arguments and data a set of elements that could arguably be constituted as an Asian “hybrid” university. Our intention is to be exploratory and provocative rather than definitive. Against this construct, we then pose a range of questions. For example, out of the many differences within “Asian” educational experiences, is there a finite set of common elements that can be reliably situated within such a construct? Assuming that this is so, how have these been transformed and evolved within the constraints and initiatives of national historical experiences? And, if they are identifiable and enduring, what are their contemporary forms within the range of higher education (HE) forms and constructs that appear on the ascendance in this period of increased global interdependence? Finally, do they travel? Are these highly national/culture bound articulations of an aspect of an Asian HE history (however complex), or are they elements that are emerging precisely because they allow contemporary HE needs to be usefully met within the full range of these rapidly changing and transforming societies?
