Globalization,Media Imperialism and South Korean Sport

This study tries to understand South Korean sport through the lens of media globalization. It explains what happened when Chan Ho Park gained fame in the Major League Baseball and how the Korean media sport market has changed since then.

“国际教育援助”还是“劳工帝国主义”——美国教师联合会在黎巴嫩的教师培训活动评介

遍布于世界各地,由美国教师联合会具体运作的国际教育援助项目是美国工会最大的项目之一。2001年以来,美国教师联合会在中东地区的教育援助项目服务于美国政府的劳工外交政策。在黎巴嫩,美国教师联合会违反全球劳工团结、博爱、友好及民主促进的原则,以国际教育援助为名,试图通过对黎巴嫩教师工会会员所进行的教师培训活动推行劳工帝国主义外交政策,以维持和扩张美国对这一地区的影响和控制     

作为资本帝国主义意识形态的民主--基于艾伦·梅克森斯·伍德的分析

伍德认为以美国为首的资本帝国主义依靠自身强大的政治、经济、文化和军事实力将资本主义民主推向全球,谋求世界霸权。民主在资本帝国主义谋求世界霸权的过程中充当着意识形态的功能。由于资本帝国主义内部经济与政治领域的分离,导致经济民主和政治民主被割裂,无法实现民主的真实内容。资本帝国主义正是在民主的虚化和阶级统治的强化的分裂中推行其经济强制,实现资本的积累和增值,扩大资本流动的空间。资本帝国主义背离民主的原则,假借民主进行侵略,发动无限战争,最终在内在矛盾无法调和下走向解体。伍德的阐述有助于理解资本帝国主义的本质和特点,对中国的民主政治建设具有重要的理论和现实意义。

Trading quality across borders: colonial discourse and international quality assurance policies in higher education

Accountability and quality assurance have become central discourses in higher education policy throughout the world. However, accountability and quality assurance involve power and control. Practices and ideas about quality developed in the Global North are spreading rapidly across the Global South, leading to increased uniformity in the approaches to quality assurance. Given the significant asymmetries that divide the Global North and Global South, this article maps interdiscursive relations among key texts that influence policy development on international quality in higher education, and explores the applicability of colonial discourse as a perspective for understanding this increasing international convergence.     

International rankings and the contest for university hegemony

In just a decade, the international university rankings have become dominant measures of institutional performance for policy-makers worldwide. Bolstered by the façade of scientific neutrality, these classification systems have reinforced the hegemonic model of higher education – that of the elite, Anglo-Saxon research university – on a global scale. The process is a manifestation of what Bourdieu and Wacquant have termed US “cultural imperialism.” However, the rankings paradigm is facing growing criticism and resistance, particularly in regions such as Latin America, where the systems are seen as forcing institutions into a costly and high-stakes “academic arms race” at the expense of more pressing development priorities. That position, expressed at the recent UNESCO conferences in Buenos Aires, Paris, and Mexico City, shows the degree to which the rankings have become a fundamental element in the contest for cultural hegemony, waged through the prism of higher education.     

Christianity and the Rise of Western Physical Education and Sport in Modern China, 1840–1920s

Christianity, as practised by missionary educational institutions and the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), was an important means of introducing and popularizing Western physical education and sport in modern China from 1840 to the 1920s. The research investigates how and why missionary educational institutions and the YMCA and YWCA contributed to the rise of physical education and sport in modern China. This analysis examines the activities of missionary educational institutions and the YMCA and YWCA in China during this period to uncover what really contributed to pave the way for Christianity, as well as led to this rise of Western physical education and sport in modern China from 1840 to the 1920s.
