非国家行为体在全球气候治理中的作用

1980年代以来,随着气候问题逐渐被列入全球政治议程,及其全球治理的深入展开,非国家行为体开始成为国家主导的全球气候治理秩序中的一个不可或缺的重要元素。本文详细审视和分析了国际组织、非政府组织和跨国公司这三类最重要的非国家行为体在全球气候治理中的作用。从形塑气候理念到建立全球气候治理制度,它们在国家和国际层面上都能发挥重要作用。通过影响个体国家的气候谈判立场和政策,它们能对全球气候治理进程施加重要影响,而且影响既可能是积极的,也可能是消极的。因此,如能恰当利用它们的作用,将会很好地增强国家治理气候的能力。

Online learning: a New Testament

The statement by Hunter R. Rawlings III that “there are no good studies on what constitutes bad online pedagogy” coincides with the creation of a Global Learning Council to define the guidelines that previous online educators have allegedly failed to identify. This article discusses these disparaging remarks by the President of the Association of American Universities about the distance education (DE) field and the likely influence on the Council’s deliberations by the motives of its members—American university presidents, corporate representatives, and providers of support for massive open online courses. The influence of their conclusions on public attitudes to new educational practices is anticipated, and the distorted pedagogical principles being offered in support of massive course practices are defined as arising from a form of plagiarism. A formal response by DE and online learning specialists to the rejection of their previous literature is encouraged; and an analysis of the situation is offered by a fictitious educational historian in the year 2031.     

Team Machine: A Decision Support System for Team Formation

This paper reports on the cross‐disciplinary research that resulted in a decision‐support tool, Team Machine (TM), which was designed to create maximally diverse student teams. TM was used at a large United States university between 2004 and 2012, and resulted in significant improvement in the performance of student teams, superior overall balance of the teams as well as overwhelmingly favorable reactions from stakeholders. An empirical study is conducted comparing the performance of teams created by TM compared to teams manually allocated by a subject matter expert. The findings show that optimally balanced teams perform better than those created manually. TM serves as a broad‐based example of how to integrate business analytics into interactive search by conflating human judgment with algorithmic efficiency in the context of team formation. The contribution of this research to the academic community is a model and solution method which can be easily implemented to solve a very important and recurring issue faced by many MBA programs and empirical evidence of its value. The outcomes of this study include empirical evidence of increased team performance, significant administrative time savings, improvement to team diversity, and increased satisfaction from students and administrators with the team formation process.     

Regulating global capitalism amid rampant corporate wrongdoing—Reply to “Three frames for innovation policy”

Despite progress in science and technology and the economic prosperity achieved by numerous countries over the past century, contemporary global capitalism has left us with severe grand challenges for the future including rising inequality, global warming, modern slavery, child labor and several other human rights struggles. How can we fix them? For many years, scholars and policy makers alike have believed that economic growth (fueled by innovation) would fix institutional failures and lift people out of human misery. We now know that this story creaks. I would suggest that the current grand challenges are related in a non-trivial way to companies’ wrongful business conduct, especially that of large multinational corporations which have grown to rival governments in size, and have proven to be powerful agents capable of shaping the global governance agenda. I challenge technological determinism and ‘transformative change’ frameworks by arguing that the regulation of global capitalism needs to put powerful private actors at center stage since neglecting them will give rise to yet another generation of dysfunctional development and innovation policies.     

Learning to globalise: Socrates,US education abroad,and the boundaries of citizenship

This article interprets interview-based research to reveal an incongruity between coinciding discourses of the twenty-first-century global marketplace and aspirations to universal equality, both contained within the claim that American university students must study abroad to become ‘global citizens’. It argues that there are deep tensions between two very different images of what citizenship entails – one treats education as a zero-sum means towards the maximisation of a specific set of bounded interests, while the other pictures education as a site of deliberation. It then reassesses both in light of an ethic of paradoxical self-critique to which both inadvertently lay claim.     

全球高校专利竞争力与科研关联度分析

研究全球重点高校专利竞争力与科研关联度。使用二维象限法分析方法发现,全球重点高校专利在二维图中具有很强的分布规律,专利竞争力与科研存在着很大的关联关系。通过y=ax+b线性拟合公式研究发现,发达国家全球重点高校的科研与专利布局意识存在很高的一致性和协调性;中国全球重点高校的线性拟合中,a值为0.211 6,低于大部分其他国家,b值为30.255 0,低于其他国家。这两个参数表明中国高校目前正处于一个特殊的发展时期,整体更倾向于发明创造、申请更多的专利进行布局,也符合中国目前的经济和科技发展历史时期。     

近十五年内国内全球气候治理研究的知识图谱 ——基于CiteSpace的信息可视化分析

随着全球气候治理议题逐渐占据世界外交的中心视野，中国学者在政策导向下对其研究比例跃升。以CNKI数据库所收录2006—2021年有关“全球气候治理”主题的337篇CSSCI期刊文献为样本，借助CiteSpace软件为工具绘制知识图谱,直观分析国内全球气候治理研究的现状、热点及趋势。经分析，可知国内对全球气候治理的研究在十九大之后出现爆发式增长；国际政治学领域的学者、期刊和机构组成了主体支持力量；全球气候治理的困境及原因、中国在全球气候治理体系中的角色转变以及实现双碳目标的路径等是主要热点议题；“双碳”主题下的碳交易机制复杂化、数字碳中和以及新时代碳外交等子议题是未来发展趋势。     

Qualitative methods to assess intercultural competence in higher education research: A systematic review with practical implications

A number of methods have been recorded in the literature with regard to assessing intercultural competence, but extant reviews tend to focus on self-report instruments in which students' responses can be easily quantified. To address the gap, this paper provides an overview of qualitative methods used to assess students' intercultural competence in higher education research. Based on 34 studies, 25 qualitative assessment methods have been identified and captured in a newly-developed typology. Results show that (1) the majority of qualitative methods to assess intercultural competence were writing-based and ‘expressive’ in nature; (2) the assessment results were mainly analysed in a ‘thematic’ or ‘scalar’ manner; and (3) very little assessment took place among STEM majors. These results are further discussed and problematized to provide implications for developing and assessing intercultural competence in higher education research and curriculum.     

制造业数字化对其全球价值链地位升级的影响---基于广东制造业细分行业的实证分析

数字经济的蓬勃发展,给中国制造业转型升级提供了契机。根据广东省2010-2017年16个制造行业的面板数据,本文分析了制造业数字化对其全球价值链地位升级的影响及作用机制。研究表明,制造业数字化对提升其全球价值链地位有正向促进作用,且主要通过推动产业结构升级和提高制造业生产率两个渠道实现对其全球价值链地位的升级。行业异质性研究显示,制造业数字化能显著促进劳动密集型和资本密集型制造业的全球价值链地位升级,但由于核心技术缺失,对技术密集型制造业的促进效果不明显。因此,应持续推进制造业数字化发展,促进其全球价值链地位提升；加快数字化基础设施建设,夯实制造业数字化转型基础；劳动密集型、资本密集型、技术密集型等不同类型制造业要因地制宜制定数字化发展措施；完善信贷、财税、数字知识产权和网络信息安全保护、数字化人才培养等相关政策制度,加大企业数字化转型支持力度。
