Abstract
Higher education (HE) developed rapidly in East Asian countries in the 1990s and 2000s. In particular, enrollment growth in the countries with a Confucian tradition has drawn international comparisons. Scholars also began to consider HE development in the region from within a theoretical framework, even while differing in their academic research approach to HE development in East Asian countries. Philip Altbach (1989), for exam-ple, has focused on the historical roots of Asian HE in a well-cited special issue of the international journal, Higher Education, noting how East Asian HE has integrated Western ideas in its overall development.
