It is both an honor and a pleasure for me to be co-editing this special issue of Frontiers of Education in China with Professor Yan Fengqiao of Peking University.We have worked together since launching this study of China’s move to mass higher education in 2006,with ever increasing commitment and involvement from our Chinese partners,as will be evident in the introduction Professor Yan has written to follow this one.There he reflects on the difference between the perspectives of insiders and outsiders in observing and interpreting the dramatic changes taking place in universities over these years,and the tensions that have emerged in the process.
