The discussion of the challenges and responses of neoliberalism to Chinese ideology

With the further deepening of China's reform and opening up, the influence of neoliberalism in China has gradually increased. In recent years, it has become the top three of the ten most influential ideological trends in China. Although some theories it requires that we should give full play to the role of the market is reasonable somehow, but the harm it contains is beyond its rational part enormously ,which has caused the severe challenge to China^s ideology. Thus, We should always be vigilant and clear to ensure the ideology safety of our country and the right direction of reform.

The Developmental Sources of South Korean Neoliberalism

How do South Korea's developmental legacies influence its contemporary political economy?The discourse surrounding this question has tended to diverge over the extent to which South Korea's state-led developmental model has been supplanted by a market-led,neoliberal mode of political-economic organization Though this debate has indeed fostered many important individual contributions,it has also yielded a muddled and ambiguous theoretical landscape.To clarify this cluttered terrain,this paper draws from recent advances in the study of neoliberalism to establish critical points of consonance between statist perspectives on Korean development and neoliberalism To this end,it identifies key threads of continuity binding South Korea's developmental past with its neoliberal present.The paper finds that critical aspects of the developmental state's interaction with society,from coercion to ideological suasion furnished elemental building blocks to those actively constructing a South Korean neoliberalism Thus,exploring these historical contours producesa fresh means for apprehending the interactions of enduring statist developmental legacies with contemporary neoliberal reforms,both theoretically and empirically.As such,this study yields an improved set of conceptual tools for grasping the complex empirical phenomena shaping the interplay of neoliberalism,developmentalism,and democracy within contemporary South Korea.

“Data Hegemony”: Reflections for the Application and Development Direction of Metaverse Technology in Urban Design based on Digital

This paper is based on the phenomenon of Tittytainment and big data control.It discusses the ways in which working youths live and work in their large suburban communities in Beijing as well as their leisure and entertainment activities.Then develops a problem statement and research questions.In addition,the project explores this reality phenomenon dialectically through the analysis and speculation of the new virtual reality technology“Metaverse.”Based on a critical design approach,the phenomenon is explored through a detailed description and examination of reality,before critically suggesting the possibility of future social control by big data companies through the“metaverse”space.Furthermore,this paper alerts to the neoliberalism that dominates globalization through anti-utopian expressions,waking up young people who are compromised by big data control and addicted to Tittytainment.

Living in Neoliberal America:Extremism,Pauperization,and Negative Solidarity

This paper illuminates some of the main effects that neoliberalism has on the psychological and socio-economic profile of Americans.It outlines the structural processes that produced the groundwork for today’s enormous popularity of right-wing extremism in the USA.America’s middle-class has turned right-wing extremist during the Trump years and this trend has continued to dominate American politics today.While populism mobilizes feelings of injustice and grievances,the source and commencement of these grievances is the centerpiece of this article.The paper does so by applying Rodrigo Nunes’(2020a)analysis of the effects of Bolsenarismo in Brazil to the American society.The paper differentiates between the effects of individualism,punitivism,and the valorization of order above the law and shows how these trends have influenced preponderant identity traits of Baby Boomers and Generation X.Secondly,the paper focuses on the concept of“negative solidarity”which is one direct consequence of the worldview produced by successful indoctrination of neoliberal values and goes hand in hand with the consequent pauperization of the American worker.The preponderance of negative solidarity remains a key handicap for a democratic future and for any social mobilization efforts within the USA.

Logic of China’s Rise:From List’s Model to List-Afa’s Error-Tolerant Model

Error-tolerantism developed from liberalism holds that national development generally considers four fundamental concepts,trial and error costs,trial and error competences,trial and error directions,and rights to be wrong.China’s rise is that state-owned enterprises basically bear trial and error costs of capital intensive industries,overcoming neoliberal defects;private companies mainly bear those of labor intensive industries,and foster new markets for capital intensive industries,learning neoliberal advantages.The Government develops economy through special economic zones for limited trial and error costs;good relations maintain between Chinese higher education and foreign scientific centers of the Soviet Union,Europe,the United States,etc.,and can help China improve trial and error competences.Privatization of small state-owned enterprises solves waste and inefficiency,and also participates in global competition to recover trial and error costs.The error-tolerant market economy based on error-tolerantism emphasizes that the powers to be wrong of entrepreneurs or financial units are empowered by the people,so they should benefit the people by reasonable redistribution.Error-tolerantism regards that China’s rise has developed List’s standard model to List-Afa’s error-tolerant model.

The Root Cause of the Anti-globalization Movement in the United States:the Erosion of the Level-standard Economy

This paper uses Qian’s level-standard economy approach to analyze the losses and gains of American globalization in the Neoliberal Era.Analysis found that:level-standard economy’s sectors are the losers during the process of American globalization in the Neoliberal Era;and super levelstandard economy’s sectors are the winners during the process of American globalization in the Neoliberal Era.The erosion of the level-standard economy has great harm and impact on related parties,so that the USA emerges the movement of populist backlash against globalization.This paper proposes 4 measures to solve this dilemma,i.e.,to impose higher tax rates on the winners of American globalization in the Neoliberal Era,to subsidize more to the losers of American globalization in the Neoliberal Era,to moderately relocate manufacturing and other industries back to the U.S.,and to further strengthen transnational cooperation.

Rethinking the World Bank Agenda for Chinese Higher Education Reform

This article explores the way in which the World Bank has worked effectively with China in higher education.It investigates whether or not the cooperation between the two has changed in line with their changing relationship.More specifically,it discusses whether the World Bank’s China agenda reflects the reform package of socio-institutional neoliberalism which the World Bank has tended to promote worldwide in the era of the Post-Washington Consensus,and how China’s higher education reform has been influenced by the agenda.The article argues that as China is transferring its role from that of a recipient country to that of a donor country,it is increasingly important to position itself as a global player.Other than mastering the game rules of the international community,China should also expand its influence within and through these major international organizations.

Education Under Siege: Exploring How International Economic Sanctions Create Crises of Pedagogy

Purpose:This article examines the adverse impact of international economic sanctions on pedagogy.The article considers the contemporary times as a period of misinformation,false news,and untruths.Utilizing anti-hegemonic literature,international economic sanctions are viewed as neoliberalism's instrument of coercion,a Western weapon used to enforce Western values on thosewithdifferentperceptions toward thefreemarket system.Design/Approach/Methods:This article utilizes critical scholarship to unmask authoritarian neoliberalism and a scoping review of sanctioned societies.Critical analytics are deployedto interpret and make sense of the dominant educational policy framework that appears to be against diversity.Findings:Neoliberalism has caused a crisis in pedagogy.Education is under siege as academics and scientific evidence are being disregarded.The call is for pedagogues from all over the world to continue to avail evidence to power by practicing critical education.Literature is utilized to propose critical pedagogy when scientific evidence is disputed,and non-Western epistemologies are considered anachronous.Originality/Value:Linking sanctions and neoliberalism is relativelynovel,as is the contribution of the same lenses to authoritarian neoliberalism.The assault on divergent epistemologies is critical,and the defense of critical scholarship is every academic's duty.The article joins conversations on the neoliberal assault on education and society.

Active Citizens in a Weak State:‘Self-Help’Groups and the Post-Soviet Neoliberal Subject in Contemporary Kyrgyzstan

This article explores the new political subjectivities that are emerging in disadvantaged communities in Kyrgyzstan following post-Soviet state transformation and retreat.It explores the ways in which the collapse of the Soviet-era bureaucracy and emergence of a marketising yet rent-seeking state bureaucracy has facilitated the emergence of‘active citizens’in self-built shanty towns in two locations in Kyrgyzstan-the capital,Bishkek,and the Issyk Kul resort region in the east.Based on participant observation and research interviews with members of so-called‘selfhelp groups’in post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan,in which residents coorganise to lobby local government for basic amenities and pool funds to raise money for community infrastructure and services in the absence of a functioning state,the paper makes two contributions to understanding the nature of citizenship in the context of weak,post-Soviet states.First,it suggests that,rather than seeing self-organised citizens as a threat to stability-a perspective common to non-liberal governments-these initiatives are supported and encouraged by the Kyrgyz authorities,since they perform tasks and provide services in lieu of the weak state.Autonomous citizens who can take responsibility for their own welfare are useful when the state cannot provide adequate services.Hence,leaders of weak states are able to recontextualise global neoliberal discourses of active citizenship,which emphasise autonomous,rational citizens,in order to legitimise their functional inabilities.Second,it seeks to problematise the binary distinction between the‘passive Soviet citizen’and the modern,post-Soviet active citizen,evident in government and international NGO discourses,and suggests that the idea of the‘passive Soviet citizen’is a discursive trope utilised to distinguish desirable from undesirable subjectivity in the post-Soviet market state.

From smart to empathic cities

This paper acknowledges the contemporary neoliberal mode of operation of Smart Cities.The pitfalls of Smart Cities concerning its propensity towards techno-centric and efficiency-focused governance are identified,with diminutive emphasis on social equity and human-centric urban growth.Thus,the paper elaborates upon an alternative mode of person-environment-interaction based approach towards placemaking:Empathic Cities.This approach implies embracing a shift from efficiency to sufficiency and wellbeing embedded regenerative perspective for conceiving the built environment.First,the variable dimensions of urban growth and governance,which gave rise to the smart city,are contextualized.The embedded neoliberal operational agenda of smart cities are established.On this basis,the underpinnings of an empathic city are established by acknowledging the shift from technocentric to human-centric and from product-based to context-based smart city and wellbeing perspectives.Strategies toward urban development are proposed,such as embracing a regenerative perspective wherein the city and its constituents need to be understood as interdependent systemic elements while embracing a human-centric and ethical approach.Additionally,a transition from efficiency to sufficiency-oriented practices and a shift towards inclusive modes of participatory governance are proposed as fundamental principles for an empathic future of the built environment.

After Liberal Global Democracy:New Methodology for New Praxis

Liberalism is in trouble as a normative basis of world order,partly for its failure to deliver adequate democracy to contemporary globalisation.This article explores how new ideas and practices of democracy might underpin a future post-liberal world order.The discussion especially addresses methodological issues,on the premise that the way that global democracy is studied deeply affects the ways that it can be understood and enacted.To open space for more innovative thinking about people's power in a global world,the article develops an approach which—in contrast to established liberal theorising-mphasises principles of diversity,reflexivity,and praxis.Drawing on experiences of implementing these principles in a six-year'Building Global Democracy' programme,the article argues that such a method-ology can generate different,imaginative and transformative notions.In particular,post-liberal reinventions of democracy could redefine the demos,incorporate non-modern institutions,deepen justice,and confront structural power hierarchies.To be sure,as the final section reflects,the formulation and implementation of post-liberal constructions of global democracy face considerable challenges.Yet,with no less than the future of a good society at stake,it is vital further to pursue such experiments in globality beyond liberalism.

What's the Deal?Trump,Fichte's Closed Commercial State,and the Perverse Dialectic of Neoliberal Risk

The following paper seeks to understand Donald Trump as a“dialectical image”for the contradictions of neoliberal capitalism.Trump’s management style,as described in his Art o f the Deal,combines a fetishizing of entrepreneurial risk as a“lifestyle”with the insistence that it is not the entrepreneur but his targets who are ultimately exposed to risk.This suggests that we might understand the elevation of“deal-making”to a lifestyle as a characteristic of modernity that,with neoliberalism,is increasingly coming to the fore.Such a critique of modernity,I further argue,is anticipated by Fichte's Closed Commercial State with its intriguing dialectic of risk.I conclude by arguing that Trump's politics marks the rise of a new,specifically American style of Fascism--one that demands identification not with the state as supra-individual collective,but with an impersonal system governing over individual lives and rendering them precarious.

Globalization,Race,and Citizenship in Anne Enright's The Green Road

This essay examines the disjunctive temporality of Irish globalization,arguing that past formations of Irish society inhere within,and complicate,the racialization of Irish subjects in the present.It uses Anne Enright's 2015 novel The Green Road to demonstrate the many ways in which racial difference is made to signify in an Ireland whose emergence as a global economic center during the Celtic Tiger has compelled a re-examination of the nationalist historiographic supports on which prior theories of racial difference were proffered,but which are in need of revision in the global moment.

Morning Conferences:From Dialogue to the Sacrificial Rite and the Formation of Scapegoats

In order to achieve the objectives of transparency and accountability,Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador(AMLO)has offered a press conference every morning since he took office.This situation seemed to be a transcendental change in the field of democratic dynamics and political communication in Mexico;however,not merely a means of communication,these conferences have instead become a method of government.Using postulates of Mimetic Theory,this essay analyzes AMLO’s conferences,showing how this daily practice has become propaganda for the regime.

An Institutional Model for Collaborative Disaster Risk Management in the Southern African Development Community(SADC) Region

This article presents and argues for a collaborative model for disaster risk management in the Southern African Development Community(SADC).The research employed a qualitative study through a literature review and empirical research through focus group interviews to realize its objectives.As a key theory of multinational collaboration,neoliberal institutionalism—a subset of the international relations theory—was used to develop the SADC institutional collaborative model.The model combined the theoretical,political,and technical dimensions of collaboration to enhance buy-in for the disaster risk management and reduction function of governments.The model demonstrates the need for a multidisciplinary approach to achieving disaster risk management and reduction in the SADC and elsewhere,if the developmental objectives of disaster risk reduction are to be realized without interference in the domestic affairs of the member countries.This model is therefore grounded in seeking consensus and cooperation among cooperating states in a quest to ensure national implementation of the regional framework on disaster risk reduction.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AS A NEXT STEP IN DEVELOPMENT OF SYSTEMIC BEHAVIOR TOWARD SYSTEMS SOLUTIONS OF SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS OF TODAY

Data are clear： humankind is facing a global socio-economic crisis. Global bodies search tbr solution in ending the neoliberal monopolistic, rather than free market, economy, and in introduction of systemic behavior under the label of social responsibility. To support this effort, the research that is reported about in this contribution, suggests systemic perception of social responsibility to cause the end of abuse, strategy of promotion of social responsibility, and of suitable economic preconditions, supported by several lines of action, which everybody can trigger.
