dc.description.abstractThe engagement of quality assurance in the recognition process of over seas qualifications became an emerging issue in Asian nations with the increased interest in student mobility in the region in the 21st Century. This study explores the links between quality assurance and qualification recognition, and approaches adopted within national regulatory frame works in the Asia Pacific region from the perspective of quality assurance agencies. Three major findings are obtained. First, governments are pri marily responsible for academic qualification recognition in Asia. Second, professional qualification recognition is heavily restricted by governments due to nationalism and protectionism within the job market. Third, a divergence model between quality assurance and qualification recogni tion exists in the Asian context.
