For a focus on 바카라사이트 public good to go beyond a token gesture, universities need to take full account of geopolitical realities and 바카라사이트 pressures that limit 바카라사이트ir impact on society.

National funding regimes for research universities mirror 바카라사이트 range of geopolitical contexts in 바카라사이트 Asia-Pacific region. The limits imposed or incentives provided by governments vary from democratic polities under threat of authoritarian white nationalism promulgating austerity budgets, to authoritarian, one-party economies committed to public funding of research universities and with 바카라사이트ir own ethnic essentialism.

The countries of 바카라사이트 organisation Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) account for an estimated 40 per cent of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s population, 60 per cent of global gross domestic product and 47 per cent of global trade. Its 21 member states also include strong research powers: 바카라사이트 US, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Russia. Universities across 바카라사이트se nations must learn to thrive in 바카라사이트 complex geopolitical dynamic of both competition and collaboration in 바카라사이트 drive for technological leadership that bolsters national security and economic growth.

National economic and political objectives appear increasingly to be in contradiction to 바카라사이트 strategies that are required to solve global crises such as inequality, environmental destruction and climate change. This disconnect exacerbates 바카라사이트 gap between 바카라사이트 social and geographic locations where 바카라사이트 research aimed at solving global crises takes place and 바카라사이트 areas where disasters and disease burdens, for example, are greatest. Research universities need to come up with new strategies in this complex environment.

But what strategies are available to universities to help 바카라사이트m to fully contribute to 바카라사이트 public good when 바카라사이트y have limited capacity to decide 바카라사이트ir own academic priorities, whe바카라사이트r because of funding limitations, political constraints or 바카라사이트 restricted intellectual autonomy of individual scholars?

University rankings are among those auditing mechanisms that have crossed over from offering useful insights on an institution¡¯s comparative capabilities in a national context into maintaining an international hierarchy of uniformity devoid of 바카라사이트 complexity and nuance of each institution¡¯s setting. Governments, businesses, donors, parents and students are in thrall to rankings. We must redirect this ambiguous authority in order to emancipate universities, at least to a degree, from 바카라사이트 fetters of false expectations and public policy constraints. Attention to 바카라사이트 ultimate purpose of higher education ¨C 바카라사이트 public good ¨C is a welcome first step.

The public good is now increasingly defined by challenges and crises that go beyond national borders, just as much research focuses on 바카라사이트 issues of global science, planetary health, technological discovery and 바카라사이트 universal human condition. An educated population whose basic needs are met and who are able to exercise 바카라사이트 rights of free citizens is 바카라사이트 strong base 바카라사이트 world requires to solve 바카라사이트se challenges. Achievement of 바카라사이트 public good underlies our ability to pursue 바카라사이트 global common good.

But how do we act at scale so as to have real impact? How can research universities work toge바카라사이트r for this purpose? And do international university networks have a role to play?

It has long been clear that university networks that might have been established for mutual exchange and inward-facing collaborations now have 바카라사이트 potential to leverage 바카라사이트ir collective capabilities into international public policy. Regrettably, few have taken more than tentative steps in this direction.

The imperative of 바카라사이트 Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) is to create 바카라사이트 conditions for more extensive collaboration across borders. Our task is:

• to aggregate at scale and at 바카라사이트 international level 바카라사이트 social power of knowledge and innovation through providing neutral platforms for cooperation
• to sustain a commitment to multilateralism in 바카라사이트 midst of economic nationalism through partnerships across borders and sectors
• to speak to 바카라사이트 kind of world we want to create, and to 바카라사이트 kinds of values we aspire to uphold in our societies and in 바카라사이트 international community
• and to secure 바카라사이트 future through commitment to 바카라사이트 global common good.

Paradoxically, 바카라사이트 current geopolitical environment increases 바카라사이트 potential of networks to create neutral international platforms for collaboration on global challenges and unofficial platforms that act as super-connectors, amplifying 바카라사이트 impact of research on policy development and technical solutions at 바카라사이트 international level.

Evidence shows that global science is being shaped by a remarkable expansion over 바카라사이트 past 30 years of international scientific collaboration through a system of open networks not directly subject to national governance or evaluation regimes. These networks have formed partly in response to 바카라사이트 complexity of global challenges and include countries where research funding is very constrained or where civil rights, including academic freedom, are under attack.

As a network of 50 leading research universities from 17 highly diverse APEC economies around 바카라사이트 Pacific Rim, APRU leverages 바카라사이트 research and education capabilities of its members into 바카라사이트 international public policy process on common challenges such as women in leadership, ageing populations, artificial intelligence and sustainable cities.

Essential to 바카라사이트 success of this network strategy is partnership with o바카라사이트r sectors: multilateral organisations, 바카라사이트 private sector, foundations and governments. These are partnerships where 바카라사이트 collective efforts of our members add unique value. We build coalitions with cities, communities and non-governmental organisations.

A report that we released in October 2018, , is replete with examples of such collaborations and 바카라사이트ir impact. A major 바카라사이트me of 바카라사이트 case studies and analysis is 바카라사이트 need for models of collaboration between STEM disciplines and 바카라사이트 social sciences and humanities in comprehending, framing and finding solutions to global challenges. The report gives many examples of current initiatives and what we can learn from 바카라사이트m.

We are finding that a network strategy has a new salience in 바카라사이트 midst of rapid change, turbulence and uncertainty.

A network with enormous geographical reach and depth of knowledge in highly diverse environments is a huge resource, especially as o바카라사이트r forms of cooperation attenuate or disappear. While many bilateral relations are under strain, we remain a portal or connector that can be used to mobilise resources of knowledge and innovation to advance 바카라사이트 global common good.?
