广州现代化国际大都市形象定位初探

站在跨世纪之交的历史关头,广州,如何赢得廿一世纪的竞争优势,迎头赶上亚洲“四小龙”,进而带动南中国的经济繁荣?在1992年广州市八届人大五次会议上,广州前任市长黎子流提出了把广州市建设成为现代化国际大都市的战略构想。1993年4月,召开了“现代化国际大都市:迈向21世纪的广州国际研讨会”,同年9月,广州市被世界大都市协会正式接纳为该会的会员,成为我国唯一加入世界大都市协会的城市。1994年初,《广州建设现代化国际大都市的战略构想》出台。至     

民国时期平民教育思想特点述评

民国时期的中国社会,因民众思想的愚昧,民族意识的淡薄,近代思想家们逐将救国的目光转向中国民众,从而在中华大地上展开了一场旨在提高民众觉悟的平民教育运动,其中孕育出近代中国的平民教育思想。这种思想不同于以往的教育思想,它以平教会的"除文盲,作新民"为教育的宗旨,其思想具有鲜明的时代特征。     

中国公共关系的教育与培训

中国的公关教育包括高等教育和职业培训两大部分。改革开放以来,随着公关实务在国内许多领域的不断拓展,以西方现代化公关理论为基础的公关课程相继也在一些重点大学开设,如广州的中山大学率先在新闻系设立了公关教研室,为在校相关专业的本科生设立了公关课程,随后很多综合性大学都不同程度地实施了公关教育。90年代后期,大批国际著名公关公司进入中国市场,他们为企业引进了专业公关公司全新的理念和运作方式,越来

Drivers of Change in the Democratic Republic of Congo: The Role of China in Re-Shaping the Country

Africa has always been potentially one of the richest continents in the world, but, due to a series of causes (colonization and decolonization process, wars, dictatorships etc.) it has never reached its full potential. The fight against poverty has been carried out by different institutions at the multilateral and bilateral level during the last 30 years, but the route toward economic development seems to be still long for African countries. This paper will focus on the analysis of the new approach to international cooperation introduced by the People’s Republic of China in order to exchange rights of exploitation of Africa’s mining and natural resources with large amounts of capital without any conditionality. The case-study which will be considered is the agreement concluded between the People’s Republic of China and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

From student to citizen: a survey of students from the People's Republic of China (PRC) in Australia

This article is a survey of students from the People's Republic of China (PRC) who arrived in Australia after 1986 and were still there in 1992. Students from the PRC began to enter Australia in 1972 when China and Australia established diplomatic relations. The numbers were insignificant until 1986 when Australia launched its education export policy.
The article provides statistics and analysis on the motivation of these students, their education and family backgrounds and their present conditions and aspirations. The article also addresses issues such as Australia's education export and imigration policies, the dilemma between political and economic refugees in terms of human rights and the impact of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre on PRC students in Australia at the time.
The survey results suggest that the majority of the former PRC students have settled successfully in Australia, though not without considerable difficulties and emotional cost. The question of distinction between political and economic refugees is acknowledged as a very thorny one, and it is suggested that immigration policy based on national interest, and clearly stated, would be more convincing, less hypocritical and therefore in the long run more effective.     

城市化与中国社会转型

2011年底，广州市第十次党代会提出走有广州特色的新型城市化发展道路的战略，相信这一战略会在今后相当长一段时间成为广州市各项事业的总指引、总目标。事实上，城市化是一个内涵非常丰富的概念，而城市化的历史也与人类的文明历史相伴，在某种意义上可以说人类的文明历史就是城市化的历史。如果说中国自古是一个农业国家，那么城市化也可看做是中国社会转型的具体体现。只有将城市化置于中国社会转型的视角下观察，才可以对中国的城市化运动有准确的把握。

Transnational families and their children's education: China's ‘study mothers’ in Singapore

Abstract For many middle‐income Asian families from the region's less developed countries, the education of children in a more developed country has become a major ‘project’ requiring the transnational relocation of one or more members of the family. As an aspiring global education hub, Singapore has been a recipient of many international students. In our article we examine the case of ‘study mothers’ from the People's Republic of China who accompany their children to Singapore during the course of the latter's study, while leaving their spouses at home. In the analysis we demonstrate that the transnational ‘project of education’ for these young Asian children hinges crucially on the notion and realization of the ‘sacrificial mother’. Unlike the women in elite Chinese transnational families who enter western countries as potential citizens and are able to regain their relatively privileged lifestyles after a period of transition, the study mothers are admitted to, and remain in, Singapore as transient sojourners whose lives are characterized by continuing challenges and fluidity.     

‘Civilising’ Deaf people in Tibet and Inner Mongolia: governing linguistic,ethnic and bodily difference in China

The People’s Republic of China is home to over 20 million d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing people, many among them belonging to ethnic minorities. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in two minority regions, the Tibet Autonomous Region and the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, this article comparatively discusses findings on sign language use, education and state welfare policies. The situation in these domains is analysed through the framework of the ‘civilising project’, coined by Harrell, and its impacts on the d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing among ethnic minorities are shown. For instance, through the promotion of Chinese and Chinese Sign Language over and above the use of local sign and written languages as well as through education and the medicalisation of disabilities.     

Female Labor Force Participation in Urban and Rural China1

Abstract The objective of this study is to examine female labor force participation and its determinants in rural and urban China. The sociological literature has demonstrated that participation tends to increase in urban and industrialized places where women have higher levels of education and fewer children, where more workers are engaged in service pursuits, and where family structure is less traditional. With the use of data on counties and cities (N = 2,377) from the I-percent sample of the 1982 census of the People's Republic of China, it was found that female labor force participation is likely to rise in areas with increased agricultural employment, educational levels, proportion of female-headed households, and higher male-to-female sex ratios. Both the size of the service sector and the fertility rate had negligible effects on female labor force participation. Although, on average, rural places have slightly higher levels of female labor force participation, when other variables are controlled, urban places have a higher rate of female participation. In addition, the findings suggest that market factors (i.e., education) are more likely to determine the rate of female labor force participation in urban areas; whereas demographic and social factors (i.e., sex ratio and household structure) play a more important role in explaining the female labor force participation in rural counties.
