Abstract
In recent years, development of transnational higher education has become an integral part of internationalization of higher education in many countries. However, the situation varies greatly between nations. For example, over the last decade, the import of transnational higher education has grown dramatically in China, whereas in Japan, which initiated transnational higher education as early as the 1980s, there has been a continuous decline in the number of branch campuses of foreign universities. Much current study in transnational higher education is concerned with mere description of transnational higher education at policy level, and little is known of its roles in and impacts on national higher education systems in a particular context.
