This volume provides a critical perspective on the Soviet legacy of superpower competition in the higher education systems of China and Russia. The book examines the tensions among multi-level forces that strive to advance progressive university policies and practices on the one hand, and on the other hand work to restore old-style hyper-centralization and indoctrination. It tracks the de-Sovietization of higher education, which aimed to integrate Chinese and Russian universities into global higher education, but resulted in inducing status anxiety in the global hierarchies of knowledge development.

“We often forget that the Soviet Union was a major world power—and that it had great influence globally in many areas. This volume shows in detail how the Soviet legacy still has an impact on higher education in Russia and China. It is highly original and illustrates key realities in higher education.”
