Rethinking participation in the Aarhus as European Capital of Culture 2017 project

This paper examines the relationship between cultural participation and regional development with reference to the European Capital of Culture in 2017. From the bidding stage, Aarhus 2017 claimed it put “participation” at the heart of its strategic plans, through consultation at roadshows and exhibitions. In addition, it aspired to use culture as a catalyst for development not only in the city of Aarhus but across the region of Central Denmark. This paper, therefore, examines how participation is defined and implemented to address regional development in the Aarhus 2017 process through textual analysis of documentation from Aarhus 2017 and delivery partners as well as over 20 interviews with managers and participants involved in a range of 2017 projects. The paper argues against the common prioritisation of urban and professional cultural institutions and makes the case for decentralised cultural provision that supports both amateurs and professionals through a regional networked structure.     

Designing policy: collaborative policy development within the context of the European capital of culture bid process

ABSTRACT

How do ideas become policies? What route do they take from inception to implementation and what criteria are used to evaluate one set of proposals against another? This paper examines the development of the Creative Work Fellowship policy proposal in Limerick, tracing the origins of the idea, itself a contended and negotiated object, from discussions between academics and policy-makers through to scoping, pitching and scaling the policy to its eventual users. This policy idea was designed during the Intelligence Unit (IU) commissioned by Limerick2020 as part of the city’s bid to become European Capital of Culture in 2020. The IU took the form of a policy think-tank, tasked with generating insights, ideas and policy proposals into the place of culture within Limerick city and region. The IU structure created a set of actors and an epistemic community capable of both generating and using ideas effectively, chiefly through two mechanisms. The first involved a robust critique and rebuilding process that every element of the policy was exposed to; the second involved feedback from interested parties at specific stages in the process. This created a series of “policy entrepreneurs” capable of taking a fully costed and modelled policy suggestion to government. The findings presented in the paper include an analysis of the collaborative nature of this policy development process, Based on this framework, we also consider the role of the European City of Culture bid process as catalyst for policy development in a regional context, and present findings on this subject.     

欧洲统一从客观到主观的历史演进及其启示

从历史角度看,欧洲存在着一种统一的大趋势。这一历史趋势表现为从客观统一体到主观统一体的发展进程。当代的欧洲的一体化是以历史上形成的客观统一体为基础的。“欧洲统一”观念从理想到实践的过程也是这一观念从思想家到政治家延伸的过程。二战后欧洲一体化的发生与发展正是这种统一的历史趋势的现实证明。     

中国男篮队员身体接触状态下技术运用质量分析

强身体对抗已成为现代篮球比赛的必然现象,是完成比赛的基础和支撑点,因此身体接触状态下技术运用质量也就成为技、战术发挥的有力保证。运用录像观察法、统计分析法对第15届世界男篮锦标赛中国队队员在身体接触状态下的主要技术运用质量进行分析,结果表明我国运动员的对抗技术运用同比赛对手存在着全方位的差距,反映出我国运动员在对抗意识、综合控制能力以及身体对抗时力量、速度素质等方面存在的缺陷。     

浅析欧共体/欧盟统一大市场

二战后的西欧为了突破美国的控制和苏联的威胁,同时为了恢复和发展经济,以应对日益激烈的国际竞争,逐渐走向经济一体化。统一大市场的形成促进了欧洲经济的发展,同时,它存在的问题不能忽视,成员国间的利益冲突还时常存在。

欧美体育强国竞技体育人才培养模式及启示

运用文献资料法、逻辑分析法等,对欧美体育强国的人才培养模式进行梳理与探析。结果表明:无论具体进行管理的主体是政府、俱乐部、体育协会或其他,培养模式均依托学校教育的优势与提供的资源,为加快我国体育强国的建设,需要进一步深化体教结合模式,加强群众体育与竞技体育的联系;为提高运动员的训练质量,提高文化考核的地位势在必行;俱乐部体制虽然与现阶段的我国国情不相适应,但是促进家庭与俱乐部的沟通联系,能为运动员学生营造更佳的体育活动环境;根据地区差异,应因地制宜、多元投资,为竞技体育的发展提供依据。     

第10届世界田径锦标赛评析--兼论田径运动员竞技状态的科学调控

我国田径运动水平在经历了20世纪90年代中后期的低谷以后,从近几年开始己经逐渐回升。但我国运动员在国内比赛常表现出极高的竞技水平,而在国际赛场上却未能发挥最佳水平。2003年巴黎世锦赛中,中国运动员正常发挥水平的只有27%,2005年赫尔辛基田径世锦赛上,中国运动员所表现出来的发挥率仍然无法令人满意。本文试图在评析2005年田径世锦赛的基础上,从运动心理及赛前训练时间调控对运动员竞技状态的作用出发进行分析,以供参考。     

伦敦奥运会亚洲区女子手球资格赛中国队与日、韩两队攻防能力的比较研究

采用文献资料、数理统计、比较分析等方法,对奥运会亚洲区女手资格赛,中国队与日、韩两队的形态指标、攻防能力、受罚指标等作比较分析,探寻中国队的差距。研究结果表明：中国队与日、韩两队相比,存在队伍结构＂大型化＂的缺陷;＂快速、准确＂的战术风格与＂顽强拼搏精神＂缺失。中国队及时解决上述问题,并在融合世界竞技手球发展趋势的基础上尽快形成自身的特点和风格,才有望冲出亚洲走向世界。
