Abstract: Abstract Commentators on contemporary higher education, particularly those focused on global competition, still talk about ‘the rise of higher education in China and India’ or ‘emerging Asia’ as if all of them are one (e.g. Levin, 2010). This shows an inability to discriminate. Asia is much larger and more diverse than Europe, which, unlike Asia, does function as a bloc for higher education and research. Notions of a single ‘emerging’ or ‘rising’ Asia also indicate a poor grasp of reality.
