This comprehensive empirical study sheds light on China's strategic utilization of higher education mechanisms in South Asia to advance its national interests, while also examining the diverse outcomes for China. By employing a soft power theoretical framework, the book delves into the case study of Nepal, a South Asian country of immense geostrategic significance for the two rival powers of China and India. Through a detailed analysis of data derived from archival sources and in-depth interviews with experts from China, South Asia, and Nepal, including academics, politico-bureaucratic elites, and students and alumni, the book illustrates how higher education serves as a crucial tool for achieving China's soft power objectives.
Moreover, the book presents an innovative conceptual model of "geointellect" to trace the evolving dimensions of China's global dominance in higher education, research, and innovation paradigms, particularly in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. It further reveals the mutually reinforcing relationship between foreign policy and higher education policy in China.
Chinas Soft Power and Higher Education in South Asia emerges as a valuable resource for students and scholars engaged in education, international relations, Asian studies, and China's soft power dynamics. It offers a comprehensive examination of China's strategic engagement with higher education in South Asia, providing insights into the complex interplay between power, education, and global governance.
