| Summary/Abstract |
The contemporary world is experiencing massive transnational population movements under the banner of higher education. This is in no small part due to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Beginning in the late 1970s, PRC policies have actively encouraged young Chinese to go abroad to study as part of their higher education. Since then, the state has increasingly relinquished control over educational migration, turning instead to creating incentives for academic “talents” in key fields to either return to China or serve Chinese interests while living abroad (Liu 2014; Xiang and Shen 2009; Zweig, Fung, and Han 2008). Concurrent with this political relaxation, average Chinese incomes have risen dramatically, and higher education has grown gradually more integrated at a global level. The result has been remarkable. For some years now, China has been the largest global source of transnational students.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines Chinese-led regional forums in the developing world where the Chinese preponderance of economic power is self-evident, its financial largesse is readily utilised to sustain these endeavours, its bureaucracies are empowered to guide the conduct of institutional activities, and its normative intentions and interests are given fullest expression.

| Summary/Abstract |
What explains China's fixation on Taiwan? With a focus on the 1995–1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis as case, this study has led to the finding that “sacred commitments” explains far more about China's fixation on Taiwan than balancing or Taiwan's strategic significance, and its interests in Taiwan cannot be understood without taking its socially constructed “sacred commitments” to Taiwan into account. The theoretical implications of this study are that contrary to the conventional understanding of Chinese foreign policy as Realist in orientation, as it regards this case Realism was not particularly helpful, for the sorts of factors Realism “majors in” were not key to understanding China's Taiwan policy. The policy implications are that though the situation across the Taiwan Strait is calm at present, American policymakers must be absolutely clear that China's interests in Taiwan are unwavering and are not based on more pragmatic realpolitik considerations, but on “sacred commitments.”
