Housing subsidy projects in Amdo: modernity,governmentality, and income disparity in Tibetan areas of China

This paper explores the ways in which housing projects in the northeastern Tibetan region of Amdo (Qinghai) produce governable citizens through rural reconstruction projects. Since the beginning of the “Construction of the New Socialist Countryside” project in 2005, the Chinese state has made great efforts to improve the living standards of rural populations, with a particular focus on the construction of “comfortable” and modern housing. This paper examines the housing subsidy projects that were launched in Amdo in 2009. Drawing on qualitative data, including participant observation and interviews, the paper examines the ways in which Tibetan villagers seek to achieve their versions of modernity through these projects. It analyzes how housing projects have encouraged villagers to become more avid market consumers by cultivating and increasing their desires for material improvement. In doing so, these projects have increased income disparities among households in the same village.

邓小平农村剩余劳动力转移的思想及其现实意义

邓小平认为，现代化的生产需要较少的人，这是农村剩余劳动力产生的一般原因；而人多、地少，特别是农村人口占全国总人口的80％，这是中国农村劳动力剩余的特殊原因，为此，要建设大批以乡镇企业为依托的小型新型乡镇，就地消化劳动力。依据邓小平农村剩余劳动力转移的思想，就要发展劳动密集型农业，建设以乡镇企业为依托的小城镇，加大对农村人力资本的投资，加大财政支持力度，消除对农民的就业“歧视”，制定向农村和农民倾斜的政策，从而更多地吸收农村剩余劳动力。

城乡社会化环境对进城务工子女成长影响的研究

进城务工子女经历了城乡社会经济文化两种社会化环境,其价值观念、行为规范和交际准则等社会化内容大不相同。进城后,他们身受双重社会化标准的影响,从把固有的纯朴作为社会化的准则,到将各种“期望”作为追求的目标,会形成自己社会化的特点。造成社会化内容和目标不同的主要因素是社会化环境的改变。     

The Commonwealth in contemporary international relations

The Commonwealth functions in contemporary international relations as a ‘mini’ version of multilateralism, encompassing issues of geopolitics, the global economy, climate change, and human rights and democracy. While essentially an organisation of developing countries, it also includes the United Kingdom and the ‘old Dominions’. There is a particular focus on the role of small states, even though the Commonwealth also includes some very large developing countries. Apart from its global role, the Commonwealth can be significant in regional contexts where there is some concentration of Commonwealth members. The Commonwealth also has a role as a context for civil society organisations. The article provides an assessment of the role of the Commonwealth within these various settings.     

The regional politics of scale: revisiting the functional aspects of the labour market dualism

This article seeks to revisit Arthur Lewis’s theory of labour market dualism, while focusing on human resource development in the form of labour productivity, to explain its usefulness in the Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) contemporary policy discourses around non-economic integration in an era that is now classified as the Caribbean Educational Policy Space. The focus is on how key assumptions around labour productivity, and the lessons that can be deduced from analysing historical and contemporary policy initiatives, present plausible applicability to an expanding Caribbean single market and the proposed creation of the Caribbean single economy. In focusing on the discursive elements of labour productivity, it is contextualized that the free movement of skilled labour within CARICOM illustrates labour market dualism.     

地方政府控股下的地方银行制度变迁逻辑与风险防范

地方政府投资参股银行机构,既是一种模糊产权形式,也是一种过渡产权形式。允许地方政府的资本进入银行业,本意是体现责、权、利相匹配的原则。然而,这可能导致地方银行机构成为地方政府的"提款机",信贷扩张增大,政府融资平台贷款持续增加,信贷集中度会更高,地区贫富差距会扩大,弱势群体的贷款难问题会加剧等。因此,作为过渡性产权形式,地方政府股权的退出将是一种必然结果,虽然短期内难以实现,但是这是解决这一问题的必然出路,因而必须壮大民营银行产权并使之成为第一行动集团。只有这样,地方政府才可能逐步退出银行的产权控制领域并让民营银行成为间接融资渠道的主体,实现银行产权的更替,最终分散和化解金融风险。
