Outline of Final Research Achievements

The constructed findings highlight a range of interconnected ideas about the current state and possible futures of regional cooperation in Northeast Asia. Variation in ideas about higher education regional cooperation connected to the distinctive underlying philosophies of different academic disciplines, with STEM fields focused on ‘borderless’ knowledge production and competitiveness, the Arts on cultural connections and creative collaboration, and Social Sciences on communicative action for the resolution of regional problems. Each of these idealized visions intersected in practice with government-level ideas of regional cooperation for global competitiveness, resulting in various tensions and the frequent repurposing of government policy rhetoric to align with institutional and disciplinary orientations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Outputs from this study contribute new knowledge to the social science literature. They also have societal relevance by highlighting the value of higher education regional collaboration programs, which should be of use to government, policymakers and universities in the three countries and beyond.
