Features: Hong Kong's higher education has undergone a century of development, especially with the growth over the past few decades, forming a relatively complete and advanced higher education system. It has achieved remarkable success in integrating Western and Eastern expertise, operating with an international approach, and blending with Hong Kong's local culture. As the closer economic and trade relations between Hong Kong and mainland China, particularly the Pearl River Delta region, are implemented and realized, exchanges and cooperation in the field of higher education between Hong Kong and regions in mainland China, including Shenzhen, are bound to increase. Through field research, the author of this book has meticulously compiled the distinctive experiences of higher education in Hong Kong, particularly using comparative and comprehensive methods, combined with the current state of higher education in Shenzhen, to explore in depth the comparative advantages and potential cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong in higher education, the buffering mechanisms in the relationship between the Hong Kong government and universities, and their implications for reference. This book thus makes valuable explorations in both theory and practice to promote cooperation in the field of higher education between Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as the internationalization of higher education in Shenzhen and mainland China.
