 note = {40022531565, This essay is an exploratory review of recent developments in quality assurance (QA) in three of the world’s most prominent university systems: China, the United Kingdom and the United States. It will explore recent global trends emphasizing learning and teaching within Higher Education (HE) and discuss the ways they relate to larger trends in globalization. This study will look at the interplay between external and internal factors motivating higher education institutions (HEIs) to improve educational quality. It concludes that the oft-cited reason of neo-liberalistic policies and the integration of the global HE market is only one factor influencing the actions of HE systems worldwide. In many national systems, shared professional values, norms and concerns over reputation appear to have been equally powerful in motivating change. As a result of this institutional isomorphism, it is not inevitable that the current convergence of QA practice will continue. This essay will conclude by discussing the ramifications of other country’s QA experience for the future of Japanese HE.},
