Is the concept of Asian Tigers, which stimulated the economic globalisation of the 20th century, still relevant nowadays? Drawing on his research of internationalisation and professorial experiences in Hong Kong and East Asia, Anatoly Oleksiyenko approaches this question by examining the continuity and change of competitive dynamics in the region preoccupied with transnational powers of its universities and engagements with global science and technology networks. At a crossroads of demands to prioritise the pursuit of sustainability development goals rather than prestige economy and status enhancement, Oleksiyenko discusses implications resulting from tensions between competing regional blocs and alliances as well as opportunities for conceptualisation of geopolitics generated by different cultural and ideological legacies and allegiances.
