妇女和发展的范式:全球性与地方性的实践张力——基于中国和坦桑尼亚实践的反思

妇女和发展的范式是西方女性主义与发展主义在建构和实践中结合而形成的,是针对发展中国家在发展中赋权的理论体系和实践框架。这一范式本身对于充分发挥妇女的能动性、提升妇女的地位有着积极的意义,但由于其在本质上存在着西方女性主义思潮和发展主义的建构性,虽然针对了发展中国家妇女的现实,但在不同的发展社会文化语境下依然出现了一系列实践困境。在中国和非洲坦桑尼亚的实践显示了这一框架与当地社会文化可能产生的不适应性。在中国,应用妇女和发展范式的干预在技术层面出现了不适应性,在结果上出现了"机会和福利异化"的现象;而在坦桑尼亚推广非国际主流妇女和发展范式的中国玉米密植增产项目,却使当地妇女提升了收入,产生了"逆向赋权"现象。这都显示出妇女和发展范式遭遇到发展中国家性别社会关系的复杂性景观。

Inequality in Chinese Education

This article investigates the status of educational equality in China in the context of the reform of major Chinese economic, political, and social institutions at the turn of the twenty-first century. In the first part of this article, the authors address the importance of the theoretical issue of equality in education and explore the relationship between theories of human capital, modernization, and political culture. They begin with a general introduction of the theme, and then explore the linkages between basic education (literacy and numeracy), the increasing productivity of the labor force, and the essential guarantee of basic human rights—necessary for survival. They then discuss how advanced education provides people with the necessary adaptability and creativity to perform in a world characterized by rapidly developing technology and a complex management system. The second part of the article uses statistical data to describe current educational conditions and the extent of the variance in educational attainment for different groups. They conduct the analysis from two perspectives: (1) comparing the effects of gender, ethnicity (minorities), and disability status on educational attainment; and (2) by comparing the effects of gender, minority status, and disability status on educational attainment in four types of regions, as defined by economic and social development. In the final part of the paper, the authors try to find the particular government policies that are responsible for exiting discrepancies in educational achievement. The article concludes with a number of policy recommendations.

Learning Chinese in China

BEFORE coming to China, I learnt Chinese for almost two years in a Confucius Classroom sponsored by China Radio International (CRI) in Yekaterinburg, Russia. This is one of 12 CRI Confucius Classrooms worldwide. I quickly developed a strong interest in China and its language, and was excited to learn that my program offered its students the chance to study free of charge in the Middle Kingdom under a scholarship. In Russia, the teaching was lively and inspiring, and we were quickly immersed in Chinese culture through multi-media and other IT tools, as well as a     

北京的古槐

北京的古都风貌——古槐、紫藤、四合院 作为六朝古都的北京,无论是在公园名胜里,还是大街小巷以及庭院中,到处都种植着国槐。尤其是自元代建大都城起,国槐就一直是北京行道树的当家树,所以北京的古槐很多。它们苍老遒劲、嵯峨挺拔的姿态,给古老而又繁华的北京平添了一种静穆安谧的天然之美,尤其是在盛夏,它们的巨冠浓荫,给人们带来一丝丝凉意,一缕缕温馨。人们在古槐的浓荫下乘凉,已成为京城盛夏的一景。古槐确实是京城的一大特色,所以人们一提起北京的古都风貌,总是说起：“古槐、紫藤、四合院”。可以说,古槐、紫藤、四合院也是北京的“符号”。     

Confidence in Chinese Economy

China has urged the U.S. not to miscalculate the situation.
