Research on the Path of Further Deepening the Reform and Internationalization of English Education in the Hainan Free Trade Zone

With the establishment of the Hainan Free Trade Zone(FTZ),the internationalization of English education has become a key element of the region’s educational reform efforts.As globalization intensifies,fostering an internationalized English education system is crucial for improving the competitiveness and global positioning of the Hainan FTZ.This study explores the multiple pathways and strategies for promoting the internationalization of English education in the Hainan FTZ,focusing on aspects such as policy support,curriculum reform,teacher training,international collaboration,and the effective allocation of educational resources.By examining the current state of English education in the region,identifying key challenges,and drawing insights from successful domestic and international cases-particularly from free trade zones elsewhere-this paper offers actionable recommendations.These suggestions aim to enhance the region’s educational outcomes,thereby bolstering the Hainan FTZ’s broader objectives of economic growth and enhanced global connectivity.The proposed strategies also seek to elevate the international stature of the Hainan FTZ as a regional hub for talent development,international exchange,and soft power enhancement.

Global trends in international research collaboration, 1980-2021

Purpose:The aim of this study is to analyze the evolution of international research collaboration from 1980 to 2021.The study examines the main global patterns as well as those specific to individual countries,country groups,and different areas of research.Design/methodology/approach:The study is based on the Web of Science Core collection database.More than 50 million publications are analyzed using co-authorship data.International collaboration is defined as publications having authors affiliated with institutions located in more than one country.Findings:At the global level,the share of publications representing international collaboration has gradually increased from 4.7%in 1980 to 25.7%in 2021.The proportion of such publications within each country is higher and,in 2021,varied from less than 30%to more than 90%.There are notable disparities in the temporal trends,indicating that the process of internationalization has impacted countries in different ways.Several factors such as country size,income level,and geopolitics may explain the variance.Research limitations:Not all international research collaboration results in joint co-authored scientific publications.International co-authorship is a partial indicator of such collaboration.Another limitation is that the applied full counting method does not take into account the number of authors representing in each country in the publication.Practical implications:The study provides global averages,indicators,and concepts that can provide a useful framework of reference for further comparative studies of international research collaboration.Originality/value:Long-term macro-level studies of international collaboration are rare,and as a novelty,this study includes an analysis by the World Bank’s division of countries into four income groups.

Internationalization of Higher Education:A Critical Literature Review of the UK Outward Student Mobility

The outward student mobility has been recognized as an instrument for the internationalization of higher education(IHE)world-widely and in the UK.This paper intends to critically review the existing literature in order to identify the current trend and issues of the UK outward student mobility under the IHE.It points out that the focus of current international educational activities is attracting foreign/inward students out of the economic impetus in the UK.Consequently,the outward student mobility is given the less recognition than the inward one in the UK policy-making and researches,which could lead the imbalanced gains for UK-domiciled students.Thus,it suggests that both the UK government education sectors and institutions should more develop the outward student mobility;moreover,future researches could investigate more about outward students’personal development.

我国高等教育在地国际化内涵演进、发展困境及实践逻辑

在地国际化是后疫情时期我国高等教育国际化的重要发展趋势。它是高等教育内涵式发展的重要动力,是应对国际环境深刻变化的科学方略,是满足广大学生需求的有效途径,但面临评价导向与实践目标错位、在地国际化资源利用效率不高、在线国际教育效果难以保障、高校国际化发展协同效应不强等主要挑战和困境。分析归纳欧洲高等教育在地国际化共性要素,并基于此提出从观念上扭转“西化从属观”与“困境工具观”,从组织上搭建“三位一体”协调机制,从内容上完善课程国际化,从评价上引导高校特色发展,从技术上促进虚拟互动。

中国与老缅越柬金融合作指数的构建及对策建议研究——基于国家异质性视角

推动中国与周边国家金融合作是稳步扩大金融领域制度型开放的有效途径和务实之举。中国与老缅越柬国家异质性明显,金融合作历史悠久、成效显著,形成了颇具特色的金融合作模式,具有研究的典型性。以金融合作事件为基础,通过构建金融合作指数测度中国与老缅越柬金融合作水平。研究发现,除了传统的影响区域金融合作的经济金融因素外,政府政策支持力度、政治互信程度、文化相近性及地理距离等非经济因素对异质性较大的国家间的金融合作有根本作用。该研究结论为推动中国与老缅越柬金融合作提供决策参考,也为中国与其他异质性大的国家间的金融合作提供理论依据和经验借鉴。

主要发达国家高等教育在地国际化发展动向与趋势

在地国际化意味着高等教育国际化内涵建设的推进,也是高等教育国际化向纵深发展的必然要求。由于教育发展基础条件较好,发达国家在地国际化实践起步较早,发展水平也相对较高。通过对欧洲、美国、澳大利亚、日本等案例国家与地区实践的考察,可以识别出其高等教育在地国际化的战略驱动式、自然天成式、产业牵引式、被动回应式四种发展模式,并发现国际教育理念、政策或战略对实践的推动作用以及课程国际化的核心地位。对发展趋势的研判表明,在地国际化与跨境国际化须协同发展,课程国际化的实践及评价有望进一步推进,国际学生与本土学生的融合发展受到更多重视,信息通信技术将会催生在地国际化新形态。

稳慎扎实推进人民币国际化:发展历程与路径探析

人民币国际化自2009年正式启动以来,经历了“启动与快速发展”“调整与平稳发展”“回升与持续发展”三个阶段。尽管与美元、欧元等主要国际货币还有一定差距,但作为国际货币,人民币已经初步具备交易媒介、计价手段和储藏工具三大功能。为使人民币国际化行稳致远,有必要深刻理解货币国际化的客观规律和相关国际经验。推进人民币国际化的关键是创造条件,激发境外机构和个人使用与持有人民币的意愿,具体举措包括实现经济持续稳步增长、保持出口贸易大国地位、加快金融市场改革和资本账户开放、积极参与全球金融治理和高度重视地缘政治在人民币国际化过程中的影响等。

高等教育国际化中的全球胜任力培养——郭世宝教授专访

数字经济赋能零售企业国际化:机制、制约与对策

中国零售企业依托数字技术加快国际化,融入或主导构建全球供应链的探索有助于服务构建新发展格局。从价值共创的理论视角看,数字经济赋能零售企业国际化的机制包括与消费者、供应商和同业企业的价值共创。当前数字经济赋能中国零售企业国际化的效应已初步显现,但仍处于起步阶段,存在采购国际化中数字经济赋能主体范围与环节有限、店铺运营国际化尚未形成规模效应、专业技能国际转移面临全球数字贸易规则博弈带来的不确定性等问题与制约。文章建议引导零售企业协同多方主体推进采购国际化,政策赋能推动零售企业店铺运营国际化,提升数字话语权为零售专业技能国际转移护航,并在数字“一带一路”框架下推进零售企业国际化。

数字化、国际化发展背景下澳大利亚TAFE模式的改革趋向

TAFE是国际上公认的先进职业教育模式,在澳大利亚教育体系、终身学习体系中扮演着不可替代的角色,引领澳大利亚职业教育走出了一条独具特色的发展道路,为世界各国争相效仿。随着全球经济的萎靡下行和人口老龄化的加剧,澳大利亚TAFE迈向2030面临新的挑战,在数字化转型、国际化发展、服务全民终身学习等方面日益呈现出诸多新的变化和趋势。积极借鉴澳大利亚TAFE改革实践经验,可为中国特色职业教育发展提供新的思考和有益启示。

地缘政治风险与人民币货币锚效应——基于“一带一路”合作国家和地区的实证分析

防范化解地缘政治风险,保持人民币币值的相对稳定,对稳慎推进人民币国际化具有重大意义。通过分析2015年8月至2022年7月“一带一路”合作国家和地区56种货币的汇率月频数据,探究了不同区域的货币锚定人民币的程度,并进一步基于Frankel经典货币锚模型测度了地缘政治风险对人民币货币锚效应的影响。实证结果表明:第一,美元虽仍是大部分地区的锚定货币,但人民币已逐步成长为东欧、东南欧、东南亚和东亚地区钉住的货币锚。第二,地缘政治风险能够显著影响人民币在部分地区的货币锚效应,但是在不同区域和不同贸易开放度的情况下具有显著的异质性。当地缘政治风险上升时,东欧和东南欧地区会更多地锚定人民币以规避汇率风险,而东南亚和东亚地区却会选择降低锚定人民币的权重以寻求汇率稳定;高贸易开放度的国家会更多地锚定人民币,低贸易开放度的国家更可能会减少锚定人民币。研究结果为稳慎推进人民币国际化和精准实施人民币国际化的国别策略提供了参考依据。

高等教育在地国际化:意涵阐释、全球案例与中国借鉴

高等教育国际化是教育对外开放的鲜明特征,以跨境流动为主的高等教育国际化模式面临危机,学界将更多关注在地国际化模式。在地国际化致力于培养全体学生的跨文化交流能力,提升高等教育机构的国际治理能力,通过增强机构的文化多样性,提供文化敏感的国际化课程,加强国家间的对话与共享。全球主要国家通过国家战略、机构策略、国际课程、学生融合等方面实施在地国际化。我国在地国际化实践进入了新的历史阶段,但仍面对挑战。我国高等教育国际化在“弯道超车”和“变道超车”的过程中,应取人才培养本位,促知识流动、引战略转型;增强“本土留学”服务能力;创建富有中国特色的国际化校园环境,重塑国际化课程模式和实践;实施文化敏感的教学,加强文化引领;以微证书项目促进在地国际化的“流动性”。
