美国高等教育全球化发展的经验与启示

随着世界经济一体化的推进,高等教育全球化已成为一种不可避免的趋势。它在重塑世界高等教育结构的同时,也在改变着各国高等教育的政策。面对这种形势,中国高等教育改革一方面要借鉴西方发达国家有益经验,另一方面要更新管理理念,创新发展模式,提升教育教学质量,积极推进中华文化走向世界,既保持高等教育的民族特色,又实现其自身的健康持续发展。

经济全球化的冲击及我们的选择

经济全球化是当前世界最重要的发展趋势之一,也是世界各国包括中国在内,致力于自身经济发展时必须考虑的国际环境中的重大因素。从国际分工、资本增值的本性、市场经济改革、新自由主义和新技术革命几方面论述了经济全球化的客观基础和物质基础、经济动因和理论动因,着重分析了经济全球化给我国经济带来的影响,并在此基础上提出了相应的战略选择。     

国际因素与民主化:转型学研究的新领域

从全球视野来看,当代民主化是转型国家向西方学习民主政治的过程,也是西方国家出于利益需要,施加压力和影响的过程。现代化在绝大多数国家成为深入人心的发展理念,全球化在20世纪90年代达到新的高峰,民主化在世界范围内迅速扩展,国际因素由于全球化的加速而更加突出。这些新发展将国际因素纳入转型学研究中,因为仅仅强调国内因素已无法对民主化的迅速扩散作出充分解释。对民主化的国际因素进行研究,在方法上可以归入国际政治-国内政治范式;在新范式的影响下,对国际因素与民主化关系的研究在理论模型、个案研究与实证分析等方面均有所进展。     

Globalization, the structure of the world economy and economic development

How does the structure of the world economy determine the gains from participation therein? In order to answer this question, we conduct a state of the art network analysis of international trade to map the structure of the international division of labor (IDL). We regress cross-national variation in economic growth on positional variation and mobility of countries within the IDL from 1965 to 2000. We find that the highest rates of economic growth occurred to countries in the middle of the IDL over the course of globalization. Second, we find that upper tier positions in the IDL are converging with each other, but diverging from the lower tier. This suggests that the mechanism underlying the rapid economic growth in intermediate positions was their uniquely high rates of upward mobility, in turn a function of their middling position. Taken together, these findings suggest that a country’s long-term economic development is conditioned by its position in the IDL.     

论全球化背景下的国际机制

国际机制是国际社会中一系列规范与预期的汇集,它所体现的一整套原则、规则和决策程序使无序社会的有序化成为可能,并降低了国际合作成本,增加了交往的信赖度.当今的全球化为国际机制的发展开拓了新空间,同时也对其规范化与制度化提出了更高的要求.     

The contingent nature of best practices in national competitiveness: The case of American and Japanese innovation processes

We propose that the differences in competitiveness of companies from different countries is not just a question of the adoption of ‘better’ management models, as conventional wisdom would have us believe; rather, we contend that national competitiveness can change radically over time without significant changes in management practices. Contrary to much of the management literature we hold that changes in the global business environment often determine to a large degree the competitiveness of companies. Based on our assumptions we offer four specific lessons of how companies can increase their competitiveness within the constraints of the socio-cultural context in which they operate.     

Postal Savings for National Development—The Experience of Japan and Future Perspective in a Globalized World

Global economic forces have been prompting the institutional changes in the public sector based on the market-oriented principles and such changes greatly have affected the postal savings system in Japan. Postal savings system’s public roles were fundamentally changed because of current administrative reform undertakings. In this article, firstly the role of collecting savings from ordinary citizens for fiscal policies was reviewed and the assessment of this public role is conducted. Secondly, abolishment of Universal Service Obligation due to the privatization of the postal savings system and the possible occurrence of Financial Exclusion are analyzed.

Does globalization benefit developing countries? Effects of FDI on local wages

Two different reactions to globalization (either supporting or opposing globalization) are observed throughout the world. Focusing on the effects on the labor market, we examine whether foreign direct investment benefits workers employed by local establishments in a host developing country. The analysis shows that they received wages above the market-based wage that would otherwise prevail in the absence of foreign establishments. Although concerns exist that growing multinational business might have negative impacts on local workers, this paper suggests that those fears might be unwarranted.
