Описание:

China's One Child Policy and its rigorous national focus on educational testing are well known. But what happens to those "lucky" few at the very top of the pyramid: elite university students in China who grew up under the One Child Policy and now attend the nation's most prestigious universities? How do they feel about having made it to the top of an extremely competitive educational system—as their parents' only child? What pressures do they face, and how do they cope with the expectations associated with being the best?

Fragile Elite explores the contradictions and perplexities of being an elite student through immersive ethnographic research conducted at two top universities in China. Susanne Bregnb?k uncovers the intimate psychological strains students suffer under the pressure imposed on them by parents and state, where the state acts as a parent and the parents reinforce the state. Fragile Elite offers fascinating insights into the intergenerational tensions at work in relation to the ongoing shift in educational policy and definition of what a "quality" student, child, and citizen is in contemporary China.

Описание: This volume provides deep insight into the Hungarians based on a detailed description of their history through more than a thousand years. The volume reaches the conclusion that, despite the national feelings of the Hungarians towards themselves and their heritage, they have recently carried out an internal process of transition over Hungarian sovereignty, having decided to grant the EU and its institutions sovereignty in Hungary over the supreme institutions of the Hungarian state, including the Parliament and the Constitutional Court. They attributed themselves to the broad European group that is in the process of crystallizing within the European Union - perhaps very much - the formation of a Pan-European nation linked to its homeland, which is Europe. The Hungarians channeled their pride as Hungarians towards standing on the path they had built within the EUs domestic politics. The volume describes that during the period of the existence of the Soviet bloc in Eastern Europe, their Prime Minister, KA dA r, the Communist-Hungarian leader who led them, was viewed by them as a person who protected Hungarian interests and character. Such preservation of Hungarian interests and character also existed during the Austro-Hungarian Empire period. For hundreds of years before the Turkish-Ottoman occupation, which lasted for 150 years, the Hungarians had been ruled by their own monarchy, of which the Hungarians were proud. Since their arrival in the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th century under the leadership of ArpA d and the acceptance of Christianity by them towards the year 1000, the Hungarians experienced major national events, including the Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241, in which half of all Hungarians were killed. Following this invasion and the devastating loss of life that took place, the Hungarians absorbed many Europeans, mainly from Germany, who then became Hungarians. The Hungarian peasantrys involvement in political events of the Hungarians began before the peasants rebellion led by DA?zsa in 1514. This created a Hungarian folk nationality - more than 300 years before the idea of aanationality emerged in Europe. This volume is authored by Dr. Yehuda Cohen, who has intensively studied 10 European groups in two series dealing with nationality and post-nationality in Europe; he presents the novel notion that one pan-European nationality may take the place of a national vacuum that has been created in Europe after national groups in continental Europe have become post-nationalities. The ten groups investigated by Dr. Cohen are the Germans, the French, the Spanish, the Italians, the British, the Dutch, the Poles, the Hungarians, the Bulgarians and the Swedes. Of all these, the British alone were found to keep their nationality and prefer it over their European affiliation; the British alone were thus expected to leave the EU (the volume on the British coming to that conclusion had been published in 2014, more than a year before the referendum about the Brexit). Dr. Cohen also recently published a book on Islam and Muslims in Europe.

Описание:

Opportunities to “have your say,” “get involved,” and “join the
conversation” are everywhere in public life. From crowdsourcing and town hall
meetings to government experiments with social media, participatory politics increasingly
seem like a revolutionary antidote to the decline of civic engagement and the
thinning of the contemporary public sphere. Many argue that, with new
technologies, flexible organizational cultures, and a supportive policymaking
context, we now hold the keys to large-scale democratic revitalization.


Democratizing Inequalities shows that the equation may not be so
simple. Modern societies face a variety of structural problems that limit
potentials for true democratization, as well as vast inequalities in political
action and voice that are not easily resolved by participatory solutions. Popular
participation may even reinforce elite power in unexpected ways. Resisting an
oversimplified account of participation as empowerment, this collection of
essays brings together a diverse range of leading scholars to reveal surprising
insights into how dilemmas of the new public participation play out in politics
and organizations. Through investigations including fights over the
authenticity of business-sponsored public participation, the surge of the Tea
Party, the role of corporations in electoral campaigns, and participatory
budgeting practices in Brazil, Democratizing
Inequalities seeks to refresh our understanding of public participation and
trace the reshaping of authority in today’s political environment.
