The article starts off with a delineation on how the process of globalization has structurally altered the landscape of the global higher education market, upon which these changes drive both Singapore and Hong Kong to become more competitive in the global education marketplace. By examining and evaluating the recent education reforms in the two Asian city-states, the author argues that the two places have significant differences and are using rather different strategies in developing their higher education sectors, which can then reflect upon their fundamental differences in terms of the basic mindsets, underlying philosophies and style of governance of higher education by the two governments.展开更多
