The political economy of Russian higher education: why does Putin support research universities?

This article argues that Vladimir Putin's regime launched support programs for the leading Russian universities in 2005 because of a perceived threat of the political mobilization of youth, similar to the one that triggered “color revolutions” in Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine. The support programs created cleavages in the university community, covered an attack on university autonomy, and made the containment of possible anti-regime student mobilization a part of an implicit agreement between the regime and the universities. The historical coincidence of the “demographic hole,” which caused a shrinkage of the higher education market, and high oil prices, which provided the necessary resources for the regime, made this implicit agreement possible. The article contributes to the research on authoritarianism, youth mobilization, authoritarian backlash after the color revolutions, and the development of research universities in Russia.     

“Let's See What Happens”: Hope,Contingency, and Speculation in Nepali Student Activism

This article analyzes Nepali student activists’ resistance and resilience as strategies that foreground their aspirations within existing political constructs. While they may enter into party politics through student organizations, they downplay their roles as political party foot soldiers. By focusing on their creative strategies and coping mechanisms during the political movement that ousted the monarchy in 2006, I highlight the nature of hope in youth political action through a common phrase they use: “Let's see what happens.” Using the concept of “subjunctive instrumentality” and ethnographic engagement, I analyze students’ internal micro-politics alongside public protests to demonstrate how they interweave the categories of idealism and opportunism, simultaneously inhabiting both in a way that makes politics personal and the personal political. These student activists’ “not-yet” orientation, in which they mobilize political, temporal, and symbolic contingencies, provides alternative templates for the present and visions for the future.     

Juvenile Desistance and Community Disadvantage: The Role of Appropriate Accommodations and Engagements

In recent years, juvenile justice systems have shown renewed interest in ensuring effective programming and support for young offenders as they reenter the community. These services often focus on suitable accommodations, education, work-based employment, and engagement in conventional activities. Recent studies also suggest, however, that these services may not have the desired impact in the community (i.e. desistance) if underlying community-level risk factors are not attended to. This may especially be the case for young offenders. Given the developmental literature underscoring the heightened sensitivity of youth to external conditions, this study focuses attention on the recidivism of young offenders in the United Kingdom. Data from 2005 through 2009 show that changes in appropriate accommodation and engagement offered to ex-offenders in a community are both related to a community’s rate of youth reoffending; however, the strength of this relationship differs across level of community disadvantage.

改革开放30年我国青年集体主义价值观变迁与趋势研究

改革开放30年,我国经济和社会环境日新月异,青年的价值观也不例外。在改革开放大潮的冲击下,我国青年集体主义价值观经历了否定之否定的过程之后,回归中的青年集体主义价值观呈现出明显的多元特征。其变迂的内在动因,既有转型经济飞速发展,也有传统文化的弱化,还包括多元的价值观冲击。以此为依据,我国青年集体主义价值观未来的发展趋势,一定会呈现出更加丰富和多元的特征,并进一步向理性的集体主义回归。

反腐倡廉制度建设与创新

反腐倡廉,既要靠伦理,更要靠制度,这既是历史的经验,更是现实的选择。制度缺失和体制障碍,是腐败现象难以根除,一些领域甚至有所蔓延的根本原因。推进反腐倡廉制度创新,重在构建反腐倡廉制度体系,坚持用制度管权、管事、管人。推进反腐倡廉,必须深化政治体制改革,在政治体制改革的目标、动力和标准等问题上实现由"以官为本"到"以人为本"的根本转变,不断增强反腐倡廉制度体系的活力。

青年流动人口教育健康效应及群体差异研究

在“健康中国”战略背景下,如何更充分地发挥青年流动人口的健康人力资本效用,值得关注。本研究基于2014年流动人口动态监测调查社会融合专题调查数据,采用Logistic回归和OLS回归方法,就受教育程度对青年流动人口不同健康指标的影响进行了分析。研究表明：青年流动人口受教育程度由初中向高中提升能够促进正向健康自评,但高等教育加剧了健康随时间推移而变差的感知;女性、农业户籍、80后青年流动人口的健康状况更明显地受到受教育程度的影响。研究建议：通过缩小城乡教育质量差距、加强多元化心理健康支持、提高流动人口社会融合水平等举措,提升青年流动人口的人力资本质量,促进青年流动人口全面发展。
