The Development of Higher Education in the Global South:Realistic Landscape,Current Concerns and China's Role
The influence of the Global South as a new force in the international structure is increas-ingly vital.Nowadays,although higher education in the Global South has risen from a relier to the main body and growth engine of world higher education,it still faces problems like insufficient knowl-edge production capacity and no fundamental change in its marginal situation.Looking forward,higher education in the Global South should adhere to endogenous development,build a diverse and multi-lay-ered higher education system,and establish extensive international cooperation so that the development of higher education could meet domestic economic and social needs while improving competitiveness in the global knowledge network.As a natural member of the Global South,China should deepen and up-grade south-south higher education cooperation,promote the development of higher education in the Global South,advance the collective rise of the Global South,and build a community with a shared fu-ture for the Global South.
