RCEP和中国参与全球经济治理体系改革:困境、机遇与路径

为识别中国参与全球经济治理体系改革面临的挑战,探索《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》(RCEP)的签署为中国参与全球经济治理体系改革带来的机遇,对中国借力RCEP推动全球经济治理体系改革的路径进行研究。研究发现,既有全球经济治理体系机制建设滞后,个别国家蓄意设置治理障碍,逆全球化浪潮削弱了改革共识; RCEP能够为中国参与全球经济治理体系改革带来新的契机,有助于重构合理高效的全球经济治理机制,消弭单边和霸权主义障碍,弥合全球多边政治互信; 中国亟需紧抓RCEP签署的机遇,加快构建开放型经济新体制,凝聚区域经贸合作伙伴力量妥善处理中美竞合新关系,积极探索全球投资贸易治理机制创新,推动“一带一路”倡议与RCEP框架良好对接,守护多边主义,巩固政治互信。     

中国文学的“世界化”愿景——德国汉学家顾彬访谈录

顾彬（Wolfgang Kubin,1945—）是德国波恩大学汉学系教授、著名汉学家、诗人、作家和翻译家。他不仅在中国古典文学、中国现当代文学以及中国古典思想史方面做了大量的研究,而且还在翻译研究方面有独到的见解。访谈中,顾彬详细介绍了中国文学的世界化、中西语言的差异与翻译等方面的问题。同时,他根据自己对中西方文化交流方面的观察,客观评价了“中国文学走出去”的得与失,并提出了自己的建议。“走出去”不仅是翻译的问题,也是作品选择的问题,更是印刷、出版和市场的问题。     

Caregiver Decision-Making: Household Response to Child Illness in Sub-Saharan Africa

We draw upon a framework outlining household recognition and response to child illness proposed by Colvin et al. (Soc Sci Med 86:66–78, 2013) to examine factors predictive of treatment sought for a recent child illness. In particular, we model whether no treatment, middle layer treatment (traditional healer, pharmacy, community health worker, etc.), or biomedical treatment was sought for recent episodes of diarrhea, fever, or cough. Based on multinomial, multi-level analyses of Demographic and Health Surveys from 19 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, we determine that if women have no say in their own healthcare, they are unlikely to seek treatment in response to child illness. We find that women in sub-Saharan Africa need healthcare knowledge, the ability to make healthcare decisions, as well as resources to negotiate cost and travel, in order to access biomedical treatment. Past experience with medical services such as prenatal care and a skilled birth attendant also increases the odds that biomedical treatment for child illness is sought. We conclude that caregiver decision-making in response to child illness within households is critical to reducing child morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa.     

灾难的历史研究

在灾难的人类学研究中,历史的角度具有关联性。历史分析可以揭示出灾难以及人类生境脆弱性后面的生态、经济、社会结构和意识形态等多方面的线索。灾难自身也具有启示性,它将过去与现在联结起来。通过对长期的历史记载的研究发现在墨西哥的生态环境中,干旱、农业灾害和食品危机显现出周期性。从历史的角度进行灾难研究可以对社会现实提出批评和校正。     

Social Work in the Engaged University

This article identifies the importance of educating social work students and enlisting social work faculty to embrace the university–community engagement arena as a critical subfield of community practice. Through the lens of social work knowledge, values, and skills, the authors present three case studies of social workers who are working in the university–community field. The authors offer some directions for social work education.     

Together Protecting Our Children: Reflections on a South African/English University Higher Education Link Programme

This article explores some of the issues underpinning the development of a British Council funded Higher Education Link between the University of the Western Cape, South Africa and University College Chichester, England. The Link began in 1999 and finished in 2005. The focus of the Link was child protection. The initial emphasis was on developing national multidisciplinary child protection training programmes within South Africa. Latterly this has expanded to encompass the broader concept of child welfare, particularly children's well being and children's participation in both South Africa and England. For both partners the process has been challenging and transforming. The article reflects on the initial objectives of the Link programme and analyses lessons learned both professionally and personally for the South African and English authors.     

Life's a Gas? The Training Needs of Practitioners and Carers Working with Young People Misusing Volatile Substances

Volatile substance abuse (the deliberate inhalation of substances such as gas fuels, glues, aerosols or other solvent‐based products) by young people does not attract high level attention within the broader arena of drugs education and prevention programmes. Given the prevalence of volatile substances in the lives of vulnerable groups of young people, however, and the risks associated with their misuse, social work education and training might justifiably give a higher profile to the associated needs of young people in need and/or in public care. This paper reports on the findings from a study in England of the training needs of social workers, residential and foster carers in relation to volatile substance abuse by young people, and identifies the implications for further development of training materials and resources.     

Sexual Messages in Black and White: A discourse analysis of Essence and Cosmo

The research presented employed critical discourse analysis to examine advice columns on sex and women's sexual freedom as expressed in two popular women's magazines, Essence and Cosmopolitan, over a three-year period. Essence has a Black female audience, Cosmo a predominantly White female audience. Critical discourse analysis is concerned with language as a primary force for the production and reproduction of ideology and belief systems that come to be accepted as common sense. The study asked whether and to what extent sex talk in these two magazines mirrored tenets of sexual liberation as set forth by “second-wave feminism.” Findings showed that while both magazines reinforced women's right to sexual pleasure and to ask for what they wanted, Essence came closest to mirroring the tenets of women's liberation by advocating women's right to say no to men's bad behavior and to be their own persons. By contrast, Cosmo advised women to be innovative in exciting and keeping their men and to be more flexible in managing men's less than desirable behavior.     

三孩生育政策下中国产业适老化转型发展研究

为正确认识新三孩人口生育政策背景下中国产业适老化转型发展的特征,有效解决转型发展中可能存在的问题,基于第七次全国人口普查数据显示的中国老龄化趋势,依据国家统计局现行养老产业划分方式,对当前中国产业适老化转型发展问题进行研究。研究认为,中国第二、三产业的适老化发展趋势明显,但在一定程度上面临着养老产业发展不均衡、相关产业缺乏联动性和“数字鸿沟”等现实困境。研究还认为,中国产业适老化发展,需要坚持供给侧结构性改革,提高养老产业全要素生产率,优化养老资源配置,提高养老产业劳动力质量,增设养老服务相关专业和课程,挖掘“人才红利”; 需要维持或加大公共财政对养老产业的投入,通过法律法规、政策引导和鼓励民间资本投入养老产业,继续完善数字化基础设施建设,整合社会养老服务的数据资源,推动养老产业数字化发展; 需要逐步培育和壮大老年用品的市场规模,进一步改善老年群体消费环境,积极引导合理消费,提高老年人对多样化消费的主动需求,培育老龄经济新增长点。
