Notes
1 Whether Singapore can be put within the Chinese centre–periphery framework is debatable (Harding, Citation1993; Lim, Citation2009). To illustrate the significance of the East/China–West binarism in understanding higher education, we expediently use the term ‘Chinese societies’ to include the five selected societies.
