Abstract

China’s rise, the increasing emphasis on international benchmarking in education, and the global recognition of East Asian countries’ success have brought the issue of Chinese education to the fore. Concretely, the concept of a “Chinese education model” has sparked debate and has become a major focus of education research worldwide. I will tackle this controversial issue by synthesising a diversity of perspectives from a forthcoming edited volume (Chou & Spangler, 2016) on the theme. This work reveals that Chinese education models, present in many different geographic and institutional contexts, shape social and institutional norms as well as belief systems and behaviours of individuals in China and beyond.

【概要】美国一直是一个移民大国。在当今全球化突飞猛进、国际移民潮日益高涨的21世纪，美国仍然是移民首选的移居国，占全球国际移民总数的五分之一。近一个半世纪以来，美国经历了两次巨大移民潮的冲击，一次是20世纪初源于东欧和南欧的“老”移民潮，另一次是1965年移民法改革后源于拉丁美洲和亚洲的“新”移民潮。后者在近五十年来汹涌澎湃、经久不息。这两次高潮的移民后裔，被学界称为“老移民第二代”或“新移民第二代”。那些在当今美国成长起来的新移民第二代，他们遭受何种挑战？面临何种机遇？是否沿着父辈或老移民第二代的路径去打拼和奋斗？是否能完完全全地融入主流社会，成为真真正正的美国人？是否能最终实现美国梦？这些有关新移民第二代的社会流动问题，都可以在周敏和班克斯顿合著的新书《美国新移民第二代的崛起》中找到答案。
