The global growth of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme over the first 40 years: a critical assessment

The year 2007 was a highly significant one for ‘international education’ in an ‘internationally minded school’ context. It marked the fortieth anniversary of the first trial exam of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). This paper charts the rather random global growth of this programme, from it being a long‐awaited experiment in international education sat by 147 students in two schools, to it being a curriculum offered in 1779 schools in 128 countries. It is shown how the initially Eurocentric bias of the global spread has become a distinct North American one. At present 35% of schools can be found in the US, whilst Africa accounts for only 2%. In 38 countries there is a single school offering the programme. The wider implications of this regional disparity are explored, concluding that perhaps the programme requires a more critical and planned growth strategy.     

Developing skills for youth in the 21st century: The role of elite International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme schools in China

There is a growing body of research suggesting that schools need to respond to changing social and economic dynamics by prioritising “21st-century skills”. Proponents of this view, who have been termed “the 21st century skills movement”, have called for greater emphasis on cognitive and non-cognitive skills development, alongside the learning of subject content and technical skills. This paper explores the potential of International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) schools to respond to this mandate in China, one of the fastest-growing markets for International Baccalaureate^® (IB) schools globally. The authors’ research team undertook a multi-site case study of five elite IBDP schools in China. Their findings revealed confidence among interviewees that the IB educational philosophy was conducive to 21st-century skills development, especially through the provision of the three IBDP “Core Requirements”, which are Creativity, Action, Service (CAS), Extended Essay (EE) and Theory of Knowledge (TOK). Despite this confidence, concerns remain about the implementation of the IB educational philosophy in the context of IBDP schools in China.     

The International Baccalaureate in Australia: trends and issues

The presence of International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes in Australia has grown significantly over the past decade. Despite this, little critical research exists on the IB in Australia. This article provides an analysis of the IB currently in Australia, outlining the trends in growth across the various IB programmes over the last decade and compares this to international trends, including those of the Asia-Pacific region in which Australia is located. This profile is then contrasted against the profile of research that has been conducted into the IB in Australia during this same period. A discrepancy is apparent between implementation of the IB and critical analysis of that implementation. Much of IB practice in Australia therefore remains unresearched. Suggestions for future research to address this discrepancy are offered.     

国际旅游:另一种眼光审视全球化的影响

The International Baccalaureate in the United States: From Relative Inactivity to Imbalance

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) examination system has grown exponentially in the United States from 268 schools involved in 1999 to 1,090 schools in 2009. The fact that 49,100 students of a total of 87,800 students in 122 countries were from U.S. schools in 2009 has posed problems in strategic planning, assessment and training, the ability of the program to remain politically neutral, and the ability of the program to remain international and not take on an American persona.     

国际政治中国家利益与国际利益之辨析

对于“利益”,人们并不陌生,理解也较趋同化。“利益”就是“好处”,而“国家利益”是指一个国家(无论是民族国家,主权国家或其他类型的国家)追求的好处,权利和利益。在国际政治领域内,“国家利益”是研究国际政治现实的主线索,因此,搞清“国家利益”随时的变化与更新是非常重要,也是非常必要的。鉴于此,从利益本身出发,通过对两个概念的阐述进而发掘出二者的区别与联系,以及由此而体现出的国际政治在当今时代的演变。国际利益的出现更多体现出该领域内合作的加强与联系的紧密。虽然国际社会的本质没有发生实质性变化,但理论的丰富与发展可以更多的为现实提供指导,也为理论本身的进一步完善提供了平台。     

世界体系、全球化与当代国际政治--从世界历史发展的角度透视全球化对当代国际关系的影响

本文就现代世界体系、全球化和当代国际政治发展演变相互之间的关系进行分析,指出:现代资本主义世界体系的经济和政治的客观发展,决定了全球化只是世界历史的发展过程中,随着漫长的西方殖民化或西方化的终结而产生的一个新阶段。简而言之,全球化是世界历史(或现代资本主义世界体系)发展的新阶段。文章还从世界历史发展的角度透视全球化对当代国际关系的作用与影响。     

环境问题:中国国际战略的新课题

无论是从保护环境的角度出发,还是着眼于维护国家主权和国家利益,将环境问题纳入中国国际战略的整体框架中都具有重要的现实意义。在参与环境问题国际合作的进程中,中国取得了显著成就,但仍然存在诸多不完善之处。创造性地应对环境问题,作为中国国际战略的组成部分,不仅是维护中国国家利益的需要,也是维护全人类共同利益的需要。

Media as nexus of practice: remaking identities in What Not to Wear

In this conceptual piece, we examine media as a nexus of a traditional schooling pedagogy and performance pedagogy to make visible how their overlapping elements produce media's pervasive educative force but also to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of using media in educational contexts. Nexus analysis examines a fashion makeover television program – What Not to Wear (WNTW) – as an embodied lesson that produces identity revision but also disjunctures and slippages that enable critical responses and productive remakings. WNTW is a dramatization of remediation of one woman's (portrayed) lived practices and clothing choices which are read on her body as personal expression of fashion trends. These globalized lessons with body texts require new ways of reading and responding that allow learners/viewers to see the power relations that construct particular identity performances as errors and cultural practices and ethnicities as unacceptable.

论人文社科专业加强国际关系教育的意义

在新世纪初全球化浪潮席卷全球的背景下,大学生有必要对我国所处的世界形势有科学的认识。人文社科专业是与社会经济实践结合十分紧密的学科,这些专业加强国际关系知识教育具有十分重要的意义,这不仅有助于学生全面理解专业知识,也有助于增强爱国主义教育和理想信念教育的实效性。     

论国际关系民主化的障碍及实现途径

如同“人生来本是而且始终是自由平等的”，世界政治中的主权国家也十分珍视国家“生来自由平等”，近400年的国际关系史，就是各主权国家追求主权平等，独立自主的历史。经济全球化和政治多极化极大地推动了国际关系民主化，加速了国际关系民主化发展的步伐，但其进一步发展仍面临许多障碍。从国际关系民主化的含义、发展历程这一角度出发，分析了国际关系民主化的阻碍因素，论述了几种推进国际关系民主化的途径选择。     

知识经济与国际政治的新变化

政治与经济天生就是一对孪生兄弟，知识经济的降临，势必给人类政治生活带来深刻的影响。它不仅会影响到各国国内政治的发展过程，而且还会引起国际政治的一系列新变化。在知识经济朝代，政治全球化将成为现实，民族国家的功能将会转换，国家间竞争的内容将会改变，不同文明间的融合将成为可能。总之，知识经济将带来一个全新的国际政治图景。     

互联网中介企业与全球化时代国际贸易的深化

网络技术极大地提高了交易效率,从而形成了专业化的互联网中介企业。可以通过新兴古典微观经济学理论来考察其经济学定位。互联网中介企业极大地改变了商业的运作形式,能够减少跨国贸易本身的复杂性,最大限度地提高国际市场的交易效率。国际贸易的工程化就是要用信息来监督和控制贸易键的各个过程,以求得贸易机会与高效程序,从而让更多的中小企业依靠网络技术直接进入国际市场。
