Abstract

The global research network has evolved enormously over the past four decades, but the increasingly open and collaborative system could be threatened by recent political changes. The contrasting examples of Russia and China illustrate a dilemma that must be negotiated and to which researchers in higher education cannot be blind. Higher education institutions must acknowledge and negotiate their course with care if the fruits of shared knowledge and innovation are to continue to be harvested.
