亚洲开发银行对东盟国家的高等教育援助

亚洲开发银行对东盟国家的高等教育进行了大力援助。针对不同类型的国家,亚洲开发银行的援助侧重点不同：对后发展型国家如老挝、柬埔寨高等教育的援助主要是帮助其扩大规模和开展能力建设;对经济转型国家如泰国,则重点帮助其进行适应经济结构调整的高等教育改革;对菲律宾这样高等教育发展相对较好的国家,则在财政体制改革、教育质量提升和机构组织建设方面施以援手;对于体制转型的越南,则力促其高等教育与市场化改革相结合。     

Risk,Social Protection and the World Market

Abstract

This paper sees market building in Asia as part of the larger project of constructing a global market economy – a project which can be traced back to Adam Smith and, more recently, to the founding of a set of global liberal institutions in the post-World War II period. In the last two decades the global liberal impulse behind the creation of these institutions has gained momentum, in step with the emergence of a “world market” of genuinely global scale. The issue of risk is central to the project of building a world market. Following an introduction to the global liberal project, the first section of this paper addresses the question of risk through a critical analysis of the difference between negative risks (both external and internal) that pose a threat to the global liberal project, and the positive risks that the project seeks to embed and incentivise. The second section outlines the treatment of risk in the literature on the “political economy of reform,” and the third provides a detailed analysis of Social Risk Management at the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank over the last decade. The final section reflects on the implications for “building markets in Asia.”     

俄罗斯发展战略演变的理论逻辑

俄罗斯社会经济发展战略演变包括两个内容:调整的历史和内在的逻辑.俄罗斯经济结构的继承性是分析问题的历史起点,经济发展的内在规律是经济发展战略调整要遵循的理论逻辑.作为经济现代化的基础性制度保障,相对于技术工艺层面的创新,市场经济体制的完善更加重要,这不仅带来资源配置效率的提升,同时提出了保障市场经济体制有效运行的市场强化型政府的要求,由此更推动了国家的全面现代化.     

经济危机、社会政策和经济发展:俄罗斯的经验

苏联解体之后,俄罗斯的社会政策保持了基本的连续性。尤其是叶利钦之后的俄罗斯,政府对社会保障和改善民生进行了巨大的投入,居民收入的增长和生活的改善非常明显。经济危机爆发之后,俄罗斯反危机政策更是赋予了社会政策以特别的使命,不仅缓解了危机的烈度,也起到了社会稳定器的作用。俄罗斯社会政策解决了国家长期发展需要面对的两个重要问题:一个是国家长期发展的人力资本积累问题,另一个是社会扩大再生产的可持续性问题。     

试论中国与东亚国家文化交流的特点与趋势

东亚地区文化发展史,从一定意义上讲,是各国各民族文化相互传播、碰撞、融合和不断创新的历史.东亚文化发展与交流的主旋律是相互交汇和融合.随着现代化建设的推进,东亚地区必然出现一个文化建设崛起与文化交流发展的高潮,而当代东亚地区的文化传播与交流的迅速发展,已成为促进东亚各国现代化建设的巨大动力.文化交流是各国人民友谊日益增长的基础,和平交流与双向互动是中国与东亚文化交流发展的重要特点.当代中国与东亚国家之间的文化交流呈现多渠道、多层次、多领域、多形式和机制化的新局面和新特点,其发展前景是无限广阔的.     

经济成长与社会公平向度下的韩国财阀模式研究

韩国财阀模式是在国家指导下大力发展私营大企业的一种经济运行模式,这一模式不但促进了韩国经济的迅速增长,实现了产业结构的升级;而且在经济成长进程中一定程度上缩小了社会的贫富差距,是韩国社会公平的重要原因。而同样采取大企业发展模式的巴西等国家则既没有实现经济的现代化,也没有缩小贫富差距。韩国财阀模式是一种有效的经济发展模式。

Knowledge generation,political action and African development: A polycentric approach

ABSTRACT

Knowledge generated to meet societal needs is the bedrock of development. Africa's development crisis is marked by the persistent gap between the application of intellectual rigours and political action. Despite abundant development potential (human and natural resources, and scientific knowledge), coupled with reform declarations and commitments by African leaders over the past four decades, development remains illusory. This article examines the relationship between key development players (African public officials and African scholars), and how generated knowledge is applied to respond to the needs of African citizens. Using the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework (otherwise known as new institutionalism) this article examines weaknesses in the interaction of knowledge, political action and development, while at a local level African citizens, through shared strategies and problem-solving interdependency, are effectively transforming indigenous knowledge inherited from their parents to confront daily challenges. The article suggests ways of bridging the gap between development players by proposing an African Development Institutional Mechanism (ADIM) aimed at enabling key development players to operate in synergy.
