100 key research questions for the post‐2015 development agenda

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) herald a new phase for international development. This article presents the results of a consultative exercise to collaboratively identify 100 research questions of critical importance for the post‐2015 international development agenda. The final shortlist is grouped into nine thematic areas and was selected by 21 representatives of international and non‐governmental organisations and consultancies, and 14 academics with diverse disciplinary expertise from an initial pool of 704 questions submitted by 110 organisations based in 34 countries. The shortlist includes questions addressing long‐standing problems, new challenges and broader issues related to development policies, practices and institutions. Collectively, these questions are relevant for future development‐related research priorities of governmental and non‐governmental organisations worldwide and could act as focal points for transdisciplinary research collaborations.     

Sense of School Membership and Associated Academic and Psychological Outcomes in Post-Institutionalized Adopted High School Students

Research highlights lasting cognitive and academic challenges in youth internationally adopted from institutional care. However, there is a lack of research examining internationally adopted students' sense of membership at school and associated academic and psychological outcomes. The current study measured sense of school membership and academic and psychological outcomes in post-institutionalized internationally adopted high school students (n = 29) compared to adolescents internationally adopted from foster care (n = 28) and non-adopted adolescents (n = 32). Post-institutionalized males had a lower sense of school membership than males adopted from foster care or non-adopted males. Group differences in school membership were mediated by academic achievement and psychological well-being.     

Attachment Disturbances Delay Language Acquisition in Internationally Adopted Children

Cross-sectional research on internationally adopted children has indicated an association between early attachment disturbances and language deficits. Raaska et al. (2013 Raaska, H., Elovainio, M., Sinkkonen, J., Stolt, S., Jalonen, I., Matomäki, J., … Lapinleimu, H. (2013). Adopted children's language difficulties and their relation to symptoms of reactive attachment disorder: FinAdo study. Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 34(3), 152–160.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) have speculated that this relationship is likely bidirectional. In an attempt to elucidate the causal relationship between these two risk factors, the attachment disturbances and language skills of 44 internationally adopted children were assessed in a cross-lagged structural equation model. Greater attachment disturbances at wave 1 predicted less gain in language by wave 2. In contrast, language at wave 1 was not predictive of attachment disturbances at wave 2. These results suggest that early attachment problems may present an important risk for later language development and should be an immediate and primary focus of post-adoptive intervention for families adopting internationally.     

中国石油战略安全因素分析

伴随着中国经济的快速崛起,中国能源战略安全问题逐渐突显出来。避免能源引发的国家冲突,制定有效的能源战略,这是我国政府十分重视的国家安全的战略问题。论文从国际关系和地缘政治的角度分析出发,在分析了4大国能源战略的基础上,提出了解决中国能源战略安全的基本思路:构建和谐的中美关系;加大石油储备量以防台海有事;积极建立与印度的友好关系突破美国的战略封锁;积极发展中日之间的能源合作;加强对俄罗斯的能源合作的工作力度。     

中国当前的经济环境与会计国际化策略选择

伴随着经济全球化和金融市场国际化前进的脚步,会计国际化已经成为世界经济贸易发展的必然趋势。经济环境直接影响和制约着会计国际化的程度,由于中国现有的经济结构、市场化程度、会计环境等方面特殊情况,决定了中国实现会计国际化还需要走很长的路,最主要的是逐步解决经济环境这一深层次问题。     

双循环驱动我国城市产业转移效应研究

基于201个城市的相关数据,利用动态面板模型和空间杜宾模型,实证分析了内循环、外循环和双循环对产业转移的影响。研究结果表明：前期产业转移在一定程度上会影响后期产业转移,前一期当地产业比例较大,其后产业转移受到的促进作用也较大;内循环、外循环和双循环均对产业转移起到显著的正向促进作用,东部城市受到的促进作用略高于中西部城市;要素流动在产业转移中发挥着重要作用,劳动力要素流动、技术要素流动和资本要素流动不仅受到内、外循环和双循环的促进作用,同时对产业转移也起到一定的促进作用;产业转移具有空间相关性,产业在空间上倾向于向产业转入较高的城区转移。为此,我国在政策上应进一步加快推动内循环,促进外循环,关注要素流动在产业转移中的重要作用,合理分配要素资源。     

近现代世界通用语的变迁--以法语、英语为例

语言在国际事务中的地位通常与一个民族、一个国家的政治、经济、文化的兴衰有着密切的联系。如果某国家政治、经济、文化实力强大,在国际事务中发挥主导作用,其语言在国际交往中也处于主导地位。因此从世界通用语的更替,可以窥视国际舞台大国的兴衰。18世纪法国在欧洲大陆的称霸,使法语成为重要的近代世界通用语。法语成为欧洲各国上层社会的语言,也是国际的外交语言。随着英国的壮大,英语又成为世界通用语。但英语取代法语,成为世界通用语却经历了漫长的过程。其中美国的发展促进了英语的传播并且维护了英语的国际地位,还促使英语成为全球通用语。     

对国际私法在当代国际社会中有效性问题的探讨

国际私法在当代无政府状态的国际社会中发挥着日益重要的作用,然而,在理论界对当代国际社会无政府状态下外国法的有效适用、私法性国际条约的有效适用和缺乏强制力的国际私法的遵守等问题的认识和分析尚不够全面、深入,对上述问题进行深入探讨,将有益于正确认识国际私法的效用和当代国际社会问题.     

清代广州十三行在中西交流中的历史地位

清代广州十三行是政府特许的外贸垄断组织。在广州一口通商时期,十三行成为中国走向世界的桥梁,世界透视中国的主要窗口,在中西交流中起着十分重要的作用。     

均势和平论剖析

均势是个理论内涵丰富,实践操作复杂的国际战略,从近代以来它一直为西方政治家、战略家和外交家所推崇,因为他们相信均势能够给“自然状态”下的国际社会带来和平愿景。本文对国际国内学术界关于和平与均势的定义、特征、分类以及均势的功用等方面所取得的研究成果进行梳理,对国际关系理论范式关于均势与和平互动解读的得失作一个客观性评价。
