Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comparative analysis of property ownership system and current quasi-profit regulations for the private higher education market in China, by constructing a theoretical model developed from institutional economics, mainstream privatization theories, and the relevant practices in use in Japan and the U.S. The book, which is written from historical, social, legal, economic and



political perspectives, incorporates practical insights from in-depth case studies on various types/localities of private universities and colleges in China, including foreign invested colleges.
