    Abstract

    ![CDATA[In this brief article, I would like to broach the obvious: the notion of ‘networks’ as being particularly Asian, or Chinese, is misguided. So is the overemphasis on ‘networks’ in much of the academic literature on China’s rise. Drawing on observed phenomenon in American and Australian academe, I will try to sketch out why networks - or ‘circles of esteem’ - are significant everywhere; where and how they occur in Western academe, and by implication - how they pervade and compromise academic recruitment and research excellence.]]
