Counting the Cost: A Critical Evaluation of the Australian National Broadband Network Roll-Out under the Rudd/Gillard Governments

A nascent literature has examined recent controversial policy initiatives by the Australian Government using insights from the literature on public policy evaluation. Scholars have considered inter alia the Mineral Resources Rent Tax, the Home Insulation Program, the Green Loans Program, the Building the Education Revolution and the macroeconomic stimulus package after the global financial crisis. The present paper adds to this literature by considering the National Broadband Network (NBN). The costs of implementing the NBN are examined and the paper attempts to draw some broader public policy ‘lessons‘ to inform future public policy making both in Australia and elsewhere.     

Indonesia’s maritime connectivity development: domestic and international challenges

This study considers the political aspects of the Joko Widodo government’s megaproject to build an integrated marine logistic system known as the tol laut. Expanding the existing literature which gives details about the contextual obstacles faced by and the prospects for the Indonesian government to pursue its infrastructure ambitions, the study argues that notwithstanding the relevance of the tol laut for advancing the Indonesian economy, it is inevitably entangled with dynamic internal and external environments which can unfavourably distort the construction processes. This is the way of understanding the political economy of Indonesia’s development issues which allows for the juxtaposition of domestic political and international relations factors as its framework of analysis. The discussion is divided into four sections. Section one explains the conceptual and methodological foundation of the study. Section two outlines the importance of the tol laut to Indonesian national economic development. Section three looks at how the current domestic political settings pose structural hurdles to Widodo’s tol laut, and section four observes the effect of international relations of powerful regional actors and Jakarta’s diplomatic capacity to the on-going tol laut. The concluding section summarizes the findings of the study.     

Personality traits and individual feeling of national pride in South Korea

Given the lack of studies on the relationship between personality and national pride, this study represents the first attempt to examine the impact of the Big Five personality traits on individual feeling of national pride in South Korea. The data for this study are obtained from the Korean General Social Survey (KGSS) of 2011 and 2012. The empirical evidence consistently shows that extraversion and agreeableness are significantly associated with individual feeling of national pride. Specifically, people who report elevated levels of extraversion and agreeableness are more likely to display a strong feeling of national pride. Contrary to theoretical expectations, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience are not associated with individual feeling of national pride. Overall, the findings lend some support to the view that personality traits exert a significant influence on individual feeling of national pride and suggest that except for contextual factors, psychological factors also offer some explanatory power for individual feeling of national pride.     

制度体系视野下的民主政治

从制度体系看民主政治,是推进国家治理现代化、促进中国特色社会主义民主政治科学发展的一个重要视角,具有重要的方法论意义。民主是一套把各相关元素有机地组合在一起,体现“主权在民”或“人民当家作主”原则的制度体系。从制度体系的角度能够更加准确地把握中国民主政治建设的特殊性,也标示了进一步完善中国特色社会主义民主政治的根本方向。     

关于“中国国家治理”研究的方法论

科学考察中国国家治理,必须首先要搞清楚三个相互联系的方法论问题:一是,中国国家治理是处于一定的世界历史时空坐标系上的国家治理,中国现阶段的社会主要矛盾及其在当代世界历史中所处的位置,构成了这一世界历史时空坐标系。脱离开这一世界历史时空坐标系,关于中国国家治理的研究就会走入歧途。二是,新时代的中国国家治理越来越具有双重特性,即:国家作为治理对象和国家作为治理主体。国家作为治理对象与国家作为治理主体的有机统一,彰显了"新时代"中国共产党的领导、依法治国与人民当家作主的有机统一。中国国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的标准就蕴含在其中。三是,中国国家治理与全球治理既有区别又有联系。全面、正确地认识和把握中国国家治理与全球治理间的关系,对于科学考察中国国家治理至关重要。

尊重差异平等对待寻求共赢——析"国际理解教育"理念对我国各民族学校文化教育启示

面对我国民族文化中出现的同化与排斥现象,在民族传统与文化迅速瓦解、失散和消亡的现状下,本文分析了“国际理解教育”理念与我国民族文化教育政策的一致性,并提出了“国际理解教育”理念(宽容、尊重、理解与平等等)对各民族学校文化教育的启示——各族人民要有文化平等与文化差异意识、开设各民族文化课程、由教学范式走向学习范式等,从而为追求我国少数民族文化的复兴与繁荣,实现民族文化政策上的“双百方针”而努力。     

谈民族文化资源开发中的市场价值与审美价值的关系——以贵州部分民族村镇的个案为例

多年来,在包括贵州在内的广大西部少数民族地区,经济发展与文化传承、传统生活方式与现代化、民族文化的市场价值与审美价值等等之间,一直存在着张力。地方政府与学者在这个问题上的见解也是不尽相同的。本文通过对贵州具有典型意义的一些民族村寨的考察、分析,提出必须以高度现实主义的态度对待这些问题,有所为有所不为;必须以实现贵州少数民族群众的脱贫致富奔小康为最大、最迫切的诉求,在此基础上,把少数民族文化的保护和创新推上新的台阶。     

边疆少数民族地区教育的宗教影响及对策

在我国,宗教有着相当长的历史和深刻的影响,全国55个少数民族约1.1亿人口中,大部分都有自己的宗教信仰。在信教民族地区,宗教和教育合二为一,各寺院既是宗教活动的据点,又是大大小小的教育中心。如何以科学发展观为指导,调动积极因素,克服消极因素,促进边疆农村少数民族地区国民教育与宗教教育的和谐相处,共同发展,成为边疆农村少数民族教育中的一个十分重要的问题。
