The high participation higher education system first developed in California has spread to national systems across the world. In 2012 more than half the school leaver age group was enrolled in higher education in over fifty countries. Research universities are also springing up in more and more countries. At the same time there has been a great growth in the level of cross-border engagement and American universities are collaborating all over the world. Although the United States continues to sustain the leading higher education and research system, the university world is rapidly become more plural, with growing educational participation in Latin America, a renaissance in Western Europe, and above all the rise of East Asia as the third great zone of universities and science. In future much of the new knowledge will flow into America as well as out. Relations between universities in the Anglo-American countries and China will be a key influence in shaping future world society. ---- The 2014 Clark Kerr Lecturer was Simon Marginson.
