Educational targeting in the fight against poverty: limits,omissions and opportunities

Educational targeting has become one of the hegemonic mechanisms in the fight against poverty. Both international organisms and developing countries support targeting as one of the best strategies in order to simultaneously guarantee poverty reduction and economic growth, and consequently to tackle the challenges generated by globalisation. The main objective of the article is to point out some of the limits, omissions and opportunities of educational targeting as a priority strategy to fight against poverty. In doing so, it analyses the World Bank’s proposals in education, poverty and targeting and it presents one of the targeting pioneering programmes implemented in Latin America: the Bolsa Escola programme (BE). An analysis of the impacts of the programme is also included. This analysis is based on the results of an intensive qualitiative fieldwork containing more than 80 interviews with mothers and students who benefit from the programme as well as with teaching staff. The analysis demonstrates that although targeting could be a necessary and useful strategy, it is not sufficient either for ensuring school attainment or for reducing poverty.     

Economic dimensions of sustainable development, the fight against poverty and educational responses

The arguments in the article are based on the ongoing discourse in the academic community and among stakeholders, which has contributed to the articulation of the concepts and premises of sustainable development and the role of learning modalities, technologies and networks. The article draws on this discourse to explore the economic aspects of sustainable development, focusing on pervasive poverty, and the implications for educational actions. The concepts and underlying premises of education for sustainable development (ESD) are discussed. The article presents the key elements of an integrated approach to fighting poverty in the context of sustainable development. The role of learning and education in this integrated approach is outlined, framing the educational elements within the perspective of lifelong learning.

A novel model for extending international co-operation in science and education

In September 1994 the University of Twente, the Netherlands, and Zhejiang University, China, decided to cooperate in the field of science, education and management. After several visits of delegations from both sides it was considered worthwhile to explore further opportunities for mutual cooperation. The directors of international cooperation on each side jointly commissioned a project to investigate the potential in a systematic way and to establish further contacts where appropriate. This paper reports on the results of the research cum matching project.To reveal promising matches between multiple departments of both academic institutions a matching model for universities was designed. The study was carried out along two parallel lines. In the research line the theoretical framework was developed into a model for international university co-operation. Moreover, an analysis was carried out on internal, external and cultural aspects resulting in a set of thirty four influencing factors.In the matching line a total of seventy interviews were held in order to identify promising matches between units at both universities. This line resulted in eleven promising matches for further co-operation.The novel model appeared useful in analyzing the variety of factors and in developing matches between both universities. In the further implementation of the model the issues of level of co-operation and top-down versus bottom-up need to be addressed in more detail.

华北沦陷区日伪奴化教育述论

抗日战争时期,华北日伪当局把推行奴化教育作为实施其“思想战”的主要措施,建立了系统的奴化教育网络,规定了以“亲日”、“复古”为核心的奴化教育方针,推行了一系列奴化教育措施。日伪在华北沦陷区推行的奴化教育,尽管具有渗透面广、欺骗性强等特点,但无法改变其为日本殖民侵略服务的事实。

论国际反倾销与中国的对策选择

WTO倡导的是公平、自由的市场竞争 ,而倾销将会破坏这种正常的竞争环境。1 995年WTO正式启动以后 ,其框架下的反倾销协议即成为世界范围内各国反倾销立法的统一规范。近年来 ,在经济全球化和贸易投资自由化的浪潮中 ,反倾销逐步演化成为各国普遍采用的维护公平贸易环境、抵制不公平竞争的重要手段之一。随着国际范围内反倾销案件的日益增多 ,中国遭受反倾销诉讼及倾销裁定率均居各国之首 ,已成为世界上最大的反倾销对象国。深入探索中国屡遭反倾销的原因并加强对策研究 ,已成为中国对外贸易顺利发展的重大课题。     

论国际法对战争及武装冲突的制约

国际法中的战争法的基本原则有;限制原则;比例原则;区别原则;＂军事必要＂不解除当事国义务的原则;条约无规定的情况不解除当事国义务的原则。国际法对战争的约束面临新的挑战。各国家对国际法的自觉遵守是对国际法约束力的挑战之一。新型战争武器的使用脱离了法律的约束。军事技术的发展使得人道主义弱化,战争灾难加剧。
