美国高等教育模式对英国高等教育大众化的影响探析

作为率先实现高等教育大众化的成功典范,美国的高等教育模式在英国得以广泛传播并被关注、争议和借鉴。探析英国高等教育由精英型向大众型的转化过程,从理念、政策到实践,从数量扩张、结构调整到制度创新,其发展路径中均可见到美国影响的痕迹。透视其影响机制,可以为我国高等教育大众化的健康发展提供有益的借鉴。     

美国共产党对社会主义实现条件的新认识

威尔逊政府对苏俄政策的演变

苏俄是与资本主义“自由世界”在意识形态上完全对立的新生国家。威尔逊领导的美国政府对苏俄的政策先后经历了不干涉、反对日本独自从东方干涉、联合干涉、单独撤出干涉四个阶段。通过分析威尔逊政府对苏俄政策演变的深层原因可以看出,这种变化并不是完全由某个历史人物的意志决定的,而是根源于不同时期美国国家利益的需求。     

Toward managed flexibility: The revival of labour inspection in the Latin world

Examining the role of labour inspection in the context of the revival of labour market regulation, the authors distinguish between the Latin model, where inspectors have authority to tailor enforcement to firms' exigencies, and the less flexible United States approach. The Latin model can reconcile regulation with economic flexibility and transform inspectors into the shock troops of a campaign for decent work. But its vulnerability to arbitrary behaviour on their part needs to be addressed through: management of organizational cultures; exposure and sys‐tematization of the tacit knowledge underpinning inspectors' judgements; and research into the relationship between labour standards and business practices.     

试析上海合作组织与美国的关系

上海合作组织奉行对外开放原则,不反对与美国及西方国家进行合作。美国对上海合作组织的认识经历了从最初的漠不关心到逐渐重视防范上海合作组织。上海合作组织与美国关系的前景：上海合作组织对美国将采取防范中的合作,美国对上海合作组织将采取分化中的合作。正确处理美国与上海合作组织的关系,不仅对双方有利,而且对欧亚地区的安定繁荣乃至世界的和平发展有重要意义。

美国教育理念的考察与启示

考察在高等教育普及化条件下,美国高校培养教育学生的理念,对大多数美国大学来说,教育理念就是培养能适应社会需要的、毕业后能尽快就业的学生;把国家利益至上和市场经济所要求的核心价值观的教育置于十分重要的位置;以培养创新型人才为坚定不移的目标;以法治、诚信为基础的价值观教育更注重行为教育。这些理念对走向高等教育普及化的我国高校有积极的启示作用:(1)尽快完善教育法律法规体系;(2)地方高校要提高为地方发展的自觉性;(3)高度重视思想道德的教育。     

Towards Interdisciplinary Community Collaboration and Development

SUMMARY

This article looks at the conceptualization and practice of interdisciplinary community collaboration and development (ICCD) in Israel and the US. It is based on the work of two interdisciplinary professional groups which were initiated by social workers—one in Israel and one in the US. This article presents a mapping of key issues and concepts, including distinguishing between mono-, multi-, and inter-, trans-disciplinary and inter-perspectives. The article addresses the issues of multiple professional identities, identification of a common core knowledge base and skills among disciplinary specializations for community development practice, and an understanding of inter-organizational perspectives. A qualitative methodology was used to conduct a content analysis of data from dialogues among professional practitioners in the Israeli and the US groups. Despite differences in the purpose, frequency and intensity of the two forums, there is an underlying belief in the importance of these discussions and in the commitment to interdisciplinary practice. Both groups believe that multiple types of expertise are needed, alongside new models of both inter-organizational and interdisciplinary relationships as well as professional-community interactions. Recommendations include the need for further examination of interdisciplinary community collaboration and development.
