From National Crisis To Wartime: The Chinese Higher Education Policy During The Anti-Japanese War Period, 1931-1945
(2025-09)
Shi, Xiangkun
This thesis investigates how Chinese higher education policy evolved during the period of the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1931 to 1945. While previous studies often treat wartime education as a passive response to external disruption, this study argues that education policy became a site of political negotiation, ideological contestation, and institutional reconfiguration. The research employs a document analysis approach, drawing on government archives and university documents, public discourse, newspaper and diaries by key figures. The analysis centers on two dimensions: (1) how crisis conditions redefined the goals and functions of higher education; (2) how state, educational community, student group and political forces — including both the Nationalist government and the Chinese Communist Party — jointly shaped policy decisions.
