This chapter explores relations between Russia and China in higher education and the role of China in Central Asia, where both countries are active. During the Soviet period Russia exercised a profound influence in Chinese higher education. Though China (unlike Russia after 1991) maintains a Leninist political system, China has moved further from Soviet system structure. The two countries continue multiple interactions in higher education, including system level partnerships, and student mobility, though cooperation at the institutional and individual level does not match the goals in intergovernmental documents. The five former Soviet Central Asian republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan) are developing their own higher education systems, but the Russian language is widely used, and partnerships with Russian higher education institutions continue. Though China has not prioritized higher education in Central Asia there are signs of growing regional competition between China and Russia in this sector.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse critically the Russian Academic Excellence Initiative (the Project 5-100), designed to propel five leading Russian universities into world university rankings (WURs) by 2020, and research it through the lens of neoliberalism. The paper seeks to reveal recurrent discourses and dominant orders of discourse constituting the overall concept of “excellence” in Russian higher education (HE) policy. Design/methodology/approach Since the Project 5-100 has been designed in line with a neoliberal model of academic excellence initiatives, emphasising “competition as a driver of excellence” (Hazelkorn, 2009), Fairclough’s approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA) has been adopted as a qualitative research method. There is no universally accepted definition of “excellence” in HE policy; therefore, this CDA also aims at revealing the Russian government’s vision of the concept and its voice in HE policy. Findings The paper concludes that the government reinforces neoliberal discourse on the HE agenda and transforms the 5-100 Universities’ identities through emphasising the role of WURs in modernising the HE system. Consequently, within the neoliberal paradigm, the Project 5-100 can be regarded as a manifestation of the commodification of “excellence” in Russian HE policy. Originality/value This research intends to broaden knowledge of excellence initiatives in HE policy and reveal their features and neoliberal natures. It also seeks to contribute in terms of showcasing a qualitative study of the Project 5-100 for future comparative analyses of similar HE policies.
