Creating Broader Research Impacts through Boundary Organizations

Climate science research documents and predicts changes in the physical environment. This information informs policy decisions and public programs through the design of human interventions that promote adaptive management. Since the early 2000s, federal funding has led to the creation of transdisciplinary regional climate workgroups to facilitate integrative knowledge coproduction and promote shared use of research results by scientific and nonscientific stakeholders. Labeled “boundary organizations,” these workgroups are tasked with facilitating partnerships between climate science researchers and practitioners with expertise in multiple physical and social science disciplines. When these organizations are successful, scientific findings and practitioner experiences are integrated to synergistically create usable knowledge about adaptive management that provides direct public value and creates broader societal impacts. This article explores the broader impacts provided by these boundary organizations through the establishment of regional research agendas and the communication of research results in ways that influence regional public policy and promote adaptive management.     

Non‐Governmental Monitoring of Local Governments Increases Compliance with Central Mandates: A National‐Scale Field Experiment in China

Central governments face compliance problems when they rely on local governments to implement policy. In authoritarian political systems, these challenges are pronounced because local governments do not face citizens at the polls. In a national‐scale, randomized field experiment in China, we test whether a public, non‐governmental rating of municipal governments' compliance with central mandates to disclose information about the management of pollution increased compliance. We find significant and positive treatment effects on compliance after only one year that persist with reinforcement into a second post‐treatment year. The public rating appears to decrease the costs of monitoring compliance for the central government without increasing public and media attention to pollution, highlighting when this mode of governance is likely to emerge. These results reveal important roles that nonstate actors can play in enhancing the accountability of local governments in authoritarian political systems.     

Representative Bureaucracy,Gender Congruence,and Student Performance in China

This article investigates the applicability of representative bureaucracy theory in China’s education sector. Past research mainly tests the theory of representative bureaucracy in the typical Western developed countries. Rarely, however, is attention paid to developing and non-Western contexts. This study examines the influence of gender congruence on student performance in Chinese middle schools by analyzing data from a national representative survey conducted between 2013 and 2014. Empirical results indicate that the presence of female math teachers significantly increases the math scores of female students. Further examination supports the interpretation that female math teachers actively represent the interests of female students, and that the alternative mechanism, role-model effects, only partially shapes the interactions between female teachers and female students.

土改后新中农对生产资料占有和使用的历史考察——以鄂、湘、皖三省为例

生产资料在农民的生产经营活动中有着至关重要的作用.新中农作为当时农村社会的主体,其对生产资料的占有一般居于贫农和富农之间.在生产资料的使用方面,大体来讲,新中农拥有较高的土地产出率和较低的耕畜负担率.文章表明,当时农民的生产经营是低水平的,农村的中农化趋势是一种相对中农化.生产资料的普遍短缺及其使用的低效率是导致农民生...     

革命动员与乡村社会——以中央苏区的扩红运动为例

土地革命时期,革命动员成效直接决定着苏维埃政权的生死存亡.扩红运动中,中央苏区各级政府在乡村中进行了广泛的动员,在进行舆论宣传、优待红军及家属、开展归队运动等方面采取有力措施.这些动员活动点燃了苏区群众的参战热情,实现了革命动员与乡村社会间的良好互动.     

实现科学发展的“十二五”规划关键在党

党的十七届五中全会通过了“十二五”规划《建议》,强调实现“十二五”规划必须以科学发展为主题、充分发挥党的领导核心作用,从而建构了“实现科学发展的‘十二五’规划关键在党”的命题。解析这一命题,就要研究关注《建议》对此提出的以下十个方面的策略原则：以党的领导保证科学发展、以党委主导引领科学发展、以本领提高促进科学发展、以用人导向延续科学发展、以党员带头推动科学发展、以基层带动落实科学发展、以正确政绩检验科学发展、以政令畅通保障科学发展、以反腐倡廉护卫科学发展、以优良党风助推科学发展。
