Fiction As Reality: Chinese Youths Watching American Television, Yang Gao
Fiction As Reality: Chinese Youths Watching American Television, Yang Gao
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
American television fiction is gaining traction among educated urban Chinese youths. Drawing on 29 interviews with fans among college students in Beijing, this article examines a shared perception among these youths that American television is ‘‘real.’’ This perceived realism, which is essential to their viewing pleasure, has two sources: American programming’s textual quality and the Chinese context in which it is consumed. First, US television appeals to Chinese youths because they perceive its topical content and complex characterization as true to life. This perception can be explained by the higher transnational cultural capital of these youths, which renders US programming …

本文试图延续农业政治经济学领域有关南亚、东南亚农业转型的研究传统，侧重于从国家干预的视角解释当前中国农业转型的逻辑。国家干预塑造农业转型的具体形态发生在税费改革前后农业治理体系转型的大背景下，农业治理转型表现为政府与市场的边界、国家与农民的关系以及农业治理的组织费用发生重大变化，这使得以项目化为表现形式、以农业现代化为政策目标的国家干预行为与分散的、数量众多的小农户打交道时治理成本高昂，农业管理部门越来越倾向于通过扶持龙头企业、种粮大户、家庭农场、合作社等规模经营主体以降低政策执行成本，故而规模经营主体成为国家农业政策的接应主体和政策具体执行的代理人。这个代理人的培育过程，正是中国农业转型的推进过程。

Education As The Weakest Institutional Link In Japan's Nuclear Regulation, Hiro Saito
Education As The Weakest Institutional Link In Japan's Nuclear Regulation, Hiro Saito
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
Debates over the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster pointed to a set of institutional and organizational failures in Japan’s nuclear regulation as a primary cause of the disaster. While the Japanese government has implemented reforms to strengthen nuclear regulation, I argue that these reforms have largely left out the education system as a key institution that produces and distributes expertise necessary for nuclear regulation. First, the Japanese education system has traditionally produced only a small number of experts in the fields related to nuclear regulation, aligned top-ranked experts with the pro-nuclear government, and weakened the civil society’s capacity to mobilize counter-experts. …
