The Significance of Location: Patterns of School Exclusionary Disciplinary Practices in Public Schools

An exploratory analysis is conducted across 3 years on school exclusionary disciplinary practices from all 56 high schools in one district. Using geographical information systems mapping and other statistical analysis, this study analyzes how socioeconomic status, racial composition, and geographical region relate to a school’s usage of exclusionary discipline. Results show that opportunity transfer, suspension, and expulsion rates vary within the district with the lowest exclusionary practices in high income areas and highest in low income areas. Findings suggest that suspensions are correlated with opportunity transfers and expulsions. However, there is no linear relation between opportunity transfers and expulsions. Poverty, student race/ethnic composition at school site, and school year are found to be predictors of exclusionary practices. Implications for future research are considered.

美国的中亚战略及前景

冷战后尤其是“9.11”事件发生以来,中亚地区对于世界各大国或相关地区强国的地缘和能源战略的重要性凸显。美国作为一超,在企图独霸世界的全球战略中逐渐认识到中亚地区的重要性并逐步调整其中亚战略,其成就令其他利益角逐者刮目相看。但是,美国在追求自己的战略目标和利益诉求过程中不可能一帆风顺,会受到很多内外因素的影响和掣肘。中亚地区的未来不会取决于美国的一厢情愿,但是美国依然会将建立和加强中亚地区平衡作为自身在欧亚大陆综合性地缘战略的一个主要目标。

Exploring the Genesis of Economic Innovations: The Religious Gestalt-Switch and the Duty to Invent as Preconditions for Economic Growth

This paper discusses changes in the level of knowledge, i.e. learning, as a key source of economic growth, and argues that historically a radical change in attitude towards new knowledge has been a necessary precondition for economic growth. The Renaissance created this radically new attitude in Europe, and this paper discusses contributions to economic theory and economic policy of some of the most influential scientists involved in this process: Francis Bacon (1561-1626) in England, and Leibniz (1646-1716) and Christian Wolff (1679-1754) in Germany. It is argued that these polyhistors viewed economic change as a dynamic knowledge-based process–a view that has important similarities with modern evolutionary or Schumpeterian economics. These similarities have so far not been recognized, and the paper suggests that modern economic theory would benefit from studying the theoretical and practical economics of these philosophers who laid the foundations for the industrial revolution.
