Index to Chinese Edrccotion,Vol. 22 (Spring 1989-Win ter 1989-W)

There is no question that most of the personages in China's present political arena have studied in the Soviet Union. Jiang Zemin, Li Peng, and others in the third-generation leadership core lived many years in the Soviet Union during the 1950s and 1960s. All speak fluent Russian and are quite well informed about today's Russia and the former Soviet Union.

The international student exchange network: 1970 & 1989

Using data published in UNESCOStatistical Yearbooks (1972 & 1991) on the 50 countries with the largest number of exchange students, this article describes the international student exchange network and its changes between 1970 and 1989. The results indicate that the network changed significantly over this 20-year period. While the United States and some Western developed countries have remained at the center of the network, Asian and Middle Eastern countries have become more central and African countries have become more peripheral. The role of colonial and linguistic factors has become less important, while economic development has a more important role in international student exchanges. The international student exchange network suggests an academic hegemony consistent with that of economics and politics. The changes of the network reflect the hierarchical structure of the hegemonic powers in the modern world system.     

中国劳动力人力资本水平估算:1989-2007

测算我国人力资本水平一直是有关领域研究者开展研究时所不能回避的问题.为了较准确估算我国人力资本水平,本文分别使用教育年限法、价值投资估算法、生产函数工资法、人力资本回报法和人力资本与收入关系法分别测算我国1989-2007年间我国人力资本的存量水平和相对指数.通过比较分析,发现生产函数工资法给出的各年人力资本存量水平的相对指数较为合理.在此基础上,重新估算了采用无量纲方式表示和以物质资本单位表示的我国各年人力资本存量,并发现在1989-2007年间我国人力资本水平年增长率为5.14%,其中1989-1999年间人力资本水平增长平缓,1999年之后人力资本水平增长快速.     

Impact of Institutional Changes on Hungarian Higher Education after 1989

This study uses data summaries and interviews to analyse changes in Hungarian higher education since 1989. The first part of the article relies on statistical data and puts the Hungarian higher education system into the international context. It focuses on enrolment changes, spending patterns and the number and quality of teaching personnel. Available data suggest a dramatic increase in enrolment, coupled with declining or stagnant resources. The second part of the study focuses on micro-level activities of selected universities and departments, with special emphasis on research, teaching, administration and institutional change. The study argues that the creation of a stable, performance-oriented, well-financed higher education system in ex-socialist Hungary has been achieved imperfectly.
