Nowadays, the concept of power can illuminate the nature of contestation. Indeed, it is apparent that discourse coalitions exist both within the wind sector and the riparian corridors management.

The Three-dimensional Model of “ConstructionTranslation-Communication” for the Construction of a Human Rights Discourse System with Chinese Characteristics in the Post-pandemic Era

Human rights have always been the focus of disputes between China and the West. To make a better China story about human rights and enhance China’s international discourse power in the field of human rights, we propose the text construction, translation and communication path of the construction of the human rights discourse system with Chinese characteristics from the cross-disciplinary perspective. Based on the examples of prevention and control of the CoVID-19 pandemic under the concept of putting people first, mainstream diplomatic linguistic data relevant to the fight against the novel coronavirus was collected through the internet. The human rights discourse with Chinese characteristics is constructed through a variety of texts focusing on putting the people first, the right to life, the right to health, the right to information, the right to privacy, the right to work and a sense of a community with a shared future for human beings. The core concepts of human rights have experienced the deepening process of decontextualization, abstraction and theorization to gradually conform to the expression habits of international audiences. The international communication effect is mainly positive in civil society. It shows that the construction of China’s human rights discourse system and the governance of international human rights discourse have achieved preliminary results. To enhance China’s discourse power on human rights, we need to add an interdisciplinary approach.

高等教育国际话语权的世界格局与中国行动方略

中国高等教育国际话语权既表征着国际社会对中国高等教育质量与水平的认可程度,也反映着中国式高等教育现代化的国际影响力。构建与提升中国高等教育国际话语权,既是争取中国国际话语权的战略之源,也是为世界高等教育多样化发展贡献中国方案的必然之举,还是加快建设世界重要人才中心和创新高地的基础支撑。然而,当前中国尚未掌握作为世界高等教育第一大国与自身综合国力和国际地位相匹配的高等教育国际话语权。相对于传统高等教育发达国家而言,中国高等教育国际话语权依然处于弱势地位。中国高等教育国际话语权的构建与提升是一个复杂而艰难的过程,需要坚持实事求是的基本原则,坚持夯实国内根基、布局发展中国家和着眼发达国家“三位一体”协同推进,加快构建中国特色高等教育话语体系,保持坚定的战略定力。
