Quality Reform in Malaysian Higher Education Governance: “Identity Formation” or “Knowledge Shopping”?

In line with its Vision 2020, Malaysia has been implementing a series of ‘quality’ reforms in its higher education sector (Sirat, 2010). For critics, these reforms are driven by an ideological shift from the idea that knowledge is a “public good” (Dzulkifli, 2011, p. 28). This study explores whether the use of ‘standards’ as governance forms would lead Malaysia towards “identity formation”, i.e. the creation of a culture-based knowledge society, or direct it towards “knowledge shopping”, i.e. the commodification of higher education. This article concludes that Malaysian higher education governance is more oriented towards “knowledge shopping” than “identity formation.”

抗战时期中国共产党政治动员论析

抗战时期,抗日救亡开始凸显并逐步成为时代主题。无论是国共两党还是其它社会阶级阶层、抗日党派,都现实地面临着如何激发起民众的爱国热情与民族意识,进而促使民众抗日参战或者整合社会资源等等一系列问题。因此,抗日战争以它宏大的历史背景和历史事实向我们讲述了曾经发生在中国社会的广泛的政治动员。如何挖掘这一史实,特别是要注意总结抗日战争时期中国共产党政治动员的重大意义,这应该是一个很有意义的课题。基于此目的,本文从中国共产党政治动员实施的原因、手段和意义三个方面进行一些分析。

行政相对人参与行政程序制度构建的合理性分析

行政相对人是行政法律关系的一方主体,是行政法学领域中的一个重要范畴,行政程序法的发展为行政相对人参与行政程序制度的构建提供了法律依据。行政相对人参与行政程序制度的构建是社会主义民主政治建设的必然结果。应立足中国的实际,适当借鉴西方国家的经验,为促进我国行政法特别是行政程序立法的进一步完善,以制度的形式充分保障行政相对人参与行政程序的权利。

Justice Between Sites of Justice

Michael Blake argues that states are the primary sites of justice for persons and that the function of international justice is to ensure that states interact with each other in ways that preserve the capacity of each to realize justice for their own members. This paper will argue that justice among states requires more of states than that they preserve and maintain each other's capacity as primary sites of justice. Justice among states will require some justification, as well, of the claims of states over resources and territory within their borders. Such a justification, I suggest, must presume a global institutional order, and this will introduce the problem of coercion in the international domain. International coercion will have implications for Blake's understanding of international economic justice since it is premised on the claim that the domestic context is coercive in a way that the international arena is not.
