Abstract
Western academic discourse plays a dominant role in social science research in each corner of the world (Zhang, Chan & Kenway, 2015). The potential of Asia as method is this: using the idea of Asian imaginary anchoring point, societies in Asia can become each other’s reference point, so that the understanding of the self may be transformed and subjectivity rebuilt. On this basis, the diverse historical experiences and rich social practices of Asia may be mobilized to provide alternative horizons and perspectives (Chen, 2010).
Network governance has been applied to education policy (Ball, 2008). “Mohe” is a way to coordinate autonomous actors as they accommodate each other to solve the societal problems and achieve their collective goals. Naming network governance in this way uses Asian theory as the reference point, rather than simply accepting the conceptualization provided by the West (Chen, 2010). It is a methodological strategy that problematizes Western concepts in the light of Asian history and intellectual traditions.
