基于经济发展水平和产业转移视角的碳强度国别对比研究

为了合理界定全球碳排放责任,本文选取了美国、加拿大、英国、德国、法国、意大利、日本等7个主要工业化发达国家和中国、印度、南非、墨西哥、巴西等5个新兴经济体国家,运用回归方程等方法,描述了上述国家碳强度随经济增长的变化趋势,比较了相同经济发展水平下碳强度的国别差异,并分析了四次国际产业转移前后相关国家碳强度的变化。研究发现,发达国家和新兴经济体国家的碳强度随着经济水平增长均出现下降的趋势。相比发达国家,新兴经济体国家在较低的人均GDP水平达到了碳强度峰值,且其峰值碳强度大小总体来说低于发达国家。在相同的经济发展水平下,发达国家的碳强度总体高于新兴经济体国家。在国际产业转移的背景下,产业转出国的碳强度大多有所下降,承接国的碳强度整体有所上升。研究结果可以为国际碳排放权分配提供新的视角。     

Potential for transformation? Two teacher training programs examined through a critical pedagogy framework

This paper argues that teacher training programs, with the objective of transforming gender norms in schools, should employ a critical pedagogy framework in order to achieve the transformational learning goals necessary to change the deep-seated beliefs and patterns of behavior that characterize these gender norms. Using document analysis, this study evaluates the teacher in-service training component of two school-based intervention programs, aimed at promoting gender equality in school communities. This paper finds that the trainings miss opportunities to employ elements of critical pedagogy and therefore, are not likely to create a transformative change around gender norms in schooling.     

职业教育的规模经济与规模不经济

职业教育在自身发展过程中,必然要在资源配置逐步市场化的条件下追求规模经济,但盲目扩张和小型化并存的非均衡发展使职业教育自身的规模不尽合理,办学效益还较低,因此必须从宏观上采取有效措施使职业教育的规模适度,克服规模不经济的现象。

IT Education and Workforce Participation: A New Era for Women in Kenya?

While Sub-Saharan African women have historically assumed the roles of both housewives and subsistence farmers, they have had few opportunities to participate in the modern economies of the region. However, this trend is changing with the exponential growth of information and communications technologies (ICT), giving many Sub-Sahara African women access to computers, the Internet, and other related technologies. Based on the work of a four-member research team from Kenya and the United States, this article examines the integration of female college students into the formal ICT work sector in Kenya. We do so by examining major bottlenecks and enablers to such integration from historical and contemporary perspectives. Using an interpretive approach, we conducted 32 interviews with women in an ICT program offered by a university in Kenya. Our findings indicate that women were highly optimistic, embracing ICT as a practical mechanism for achieving entry into the labor market. However, they perceived significant structural barriers, such as public policies that failed to facilitate the development of the ICT sector, gender discrimination by employers, and training that provided them with insufficient technical skills to enable them to effectively perform in the workplace. These findings largely confirm the gendered perspectives found in similar studies conducted in other countries. However, what appear as global perspectives are informed by the local causes.     

A lexicon of inter-institutional cooperation

Recent studies have indicatedthat, while there is a great deal of interestamong both governments and institutions ininter-institutional cooperation, theterminology of cooperation is confused andimprecise. Mergers are sometimes characterizedas being an extension of inter-institutionalcooperation, sometimes they are regarded asseparate, unique, and situated on a plane orcontinuum different from that of suchstructures as federations and consortia. Yet,in generic terms, mergers share a number ofcharacteristics with other forms ofcooperation, and are often pursued for the samereasons. This study investigates the originsand motivations of inter-institutionalcooperation in order to show that the variousforms of cooperation, including merger, arepart of a single evolutionary continuum. Next,it develops a lexicon or taxonomy ofinter-institutional cooperation. Finally, itdiscusses the directions thatinter-institutional cooperation might take inthe future along that continuum.
