While the study entails qualitative approaches such as ethnography, participant observation, and semi-structured interviews, the theoretical framework is drawn from Bourdieu\u0026rsquo;s concepts of symbolic powers and habitus. The findings suggest that economic, social, and cultural capital both promotes and hampers cross-national knowledge sharing and production among developed, developing, and bridging countries. In addition, this study argues that actors from a bridge country (Korea) contribute to the cross-national knowledge sharing and production by balancing structural discrepancies through different forms of agency. As for the contribution, in-depth analysis of findings with Bourdieu\u0026rsquo;s framework of structure and agency offers unique insights to literatures regarding cross-national university collaborations and development, and relevant S\u0026amp;T policies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee Members:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Willie Pearson, Jr. (Chair)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nProfessor, School of History and Sociology, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Binayak Bhandari\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nDepartment Chair, Assistant Professor, Woosong University, Korea\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Connie McNeely\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nCo-Director of the Center for Science and Technology Policy, Professor, Public Policy, George Mason University\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Mary McDonald\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nHomer C.
