Elite Making Policies: The Chinese Way of Taking on the University Ranking Systems
Abstract
This research explores how China has responded to global university ranking systems and successfully positioned itself by examining the history and development of international university rankings and their impact on global higher education institutions (HEIs). China's rise within these rankings is the focus along with the policies and strategies that enabled its HEIs, particularly through initiatives like the 211 and 985 projects. These policies, aimed at fostering elite universities, have influenced the international status of Chinese universities. This chapter also looks at the socio-political factors that shape Chinese HEIs, including governance structures and academic freedom, highlighting challenges in aligning with global standards. Lastly, the research discusses the broader implications of these policies on Chinese HEIs and its role in the global landscape. The findings suggest that while China has made considerable strides in improving its HEIs' global rankings, challenges remain in achieving true academic autonomy and balancing domestic priorities with international recognition.
