西方国家高校组织的自主权及其启示

西方国家高校组织的自主权是通过大学内部立法、决策领导、组织协调、咨询等办学活动来实现的。大学自治组织系统主要由董事会 (校务会 )、校长、评议会等组成。校长由董事会 (校务会 )选举或产生 ,代表其行使学校决策及日常事务管理。大学自治组织一般拥有组织教学、筹集经费、开展学术研究、人事使用等权力 ,而这些权力的行使一方面要受到大学内部各种权力系统、管理层以及利益集团的制约 ,同时还要受到来自大学外部的各种专门组织和社会团体的监督     

欧元长期低迷的外在制约因素分析

现在美国的经济增长速度开始放缓 ,而欧盟的经济状况在经历两年的调整之后进入一个比较稳定的发展阶段。从理论上来讲欧元的汇率应该有一个坚挺的趋势 ,但事实却相反 ,欧元却一直走弱。本文通过欧盟和美国对欧元态度的对比 ,对这种现象做了一些分析。美国出于自身的利益考虑不希望欧元走强 ;而欧盟各国也都乐于看到欧元疲软 ;与此同时市场投资者也对欧元信心不足。这些态度其实成了解释欧元汇率的走势为什么屡屡出乎预测家的估计 ,一直保持相对弱势的关键原因

The Contribution of NPOs to Family Policy Formulation in EU Member and Applicant States

This paper examines the role of nonprofit organizations (NPOs) in the process of family policy formulation in eight member states and three applicant states of the European Union. Drawing upon interviews with representatives from the nonprofit sector, the author argues that the experiences of NPOs in family policy-making vary considerably between countries because of the way state–nonprofit relations operate. Social origins theory illustrates why these variations exist by pointing to broad societal influences on the nonprofit sector, but new empirical evidence presented here suggests that, in a particular policy field, other factors, such as the significance of the field on policy agendas, the strength of one particular organization in a specific cultural context, party ideology, and financial viability of the NPO, shape the role of organizations in the formulation of policies     

STTEPping in the right direction? Western classical music in an orchestral programme for disadvantaged African youth

This article looks at STTEP, an outreach project currently housed at the University of Pretoria, which concentrates on the teaching of western orchestral instruments, plus background areas such as music theory, to disadvantaged children and youth from a variety of townships around Pretoria, South Africa. STTEP’s direction can well be described as ‘right’ – pupils are already surrounded by all kinds of global phenomena, and their formal music studies in western classical music are not making them forget their roots. In fact, the contrary has been found to be the case and some interesting cultural fusions are already seen – always a sign of a living culture.     

Economic Determinants of Net International Migration in Western Europe

This paper aims to estimate theinfluence of economic determinants on netinternational migration in Western Europe inthe period 1960–1998. Net migration rates(i.e., population growth minus natural increase,divided by the midyear population) constitutethe dependent variable. The economicdeterminants used in this study are GDP percapita, unemployment, and average educationallevel (amount of human capital) of thepopulation. Time series regression models havebeen used in country-specific analyses. Inaddition, a pooled cross-sectional time seriesanalysis has been made. The analyses suggestthat GDP per capita has a positive effect andunemployment a negative effect on a country'snet international migration.

西部自然资源评价：准则与政策建议

从西部开发旨在“兴地富民”的角度出发 ,基于产权准则和市场需求准则 ,西部自然资源可作如下系统分析和评价 :土地、水和清洁能源是西部地方性资源但不具有现实优势 ;在现行资源产权制度下 ,石油、天然气和稀土矿产资源是国家级资源 ,煤炭是准地方性资源 ,一般矿产为西部地方性资源。矿产资源能否成为西部地方性优势资源不仅取决于矿产资源的类型 ,还取决于矿产资源的市场需求以及矿产资源产权制度的创新。
