In this age of globalization,people need an international auxiliary language in addition to their mother tongue to improve communication and foster unity among nations. In India, English is the preferred ‘global’ language and it plays an important role as a library language’ in higher education. Parents and children perceive English as a ‘language of opportunity’ and yearn for an English language medium education. Although English has a recognized role in employability, international mobility, and in accessing information, its overall role in developmentis being questioned. There is evidence that the widespread craze to learn English and adopt a so-called western lifestyle is stifling local cultures and languages. Furthermore, students face difficulties in their studies because they have to learn the content of a subject using a language that they may not know well. Conversely, countries like China, where English is not used for general everyday communication, have set high standards in all fields of human endeavour while preserving their culture, language and identity. Therefore, it seems that a bilingual or a multilingual approach might be more effective than the contemporary monolingual ones. This paper presents the results of the study and research undertaken on the issue of global language impact on the undergraduate students in India.
在这个全球化的时代,人们需要一种除了母语之外的国际辅助语言来促进国家间的交流和团结。在印度,英语是首选的“全球”语言,它在高等教育中作为图书馆语言发挥着重要作用。家长和孩子将英语视为一种“机会语言”,渴望以英语为媒介进行教育。尽管英语在就业能力、国际流动性和获取信息方面发挥着公认的作用,但它在发展中的整体作用却受到质疑。有证据表明,学习英语和采用所谓西方生活方式的普遍热潮正在扼杀当地文化和语言。此外,学生在学习中面临困难,因为他们必须使用一种他们可能不太熟悉的语言来学习一门学科的内容。相反,像中国这样的国家,在日常交流中不使用英语,在保留其文化、语言和身份的同时,在人类努力的各个领域都设定了高标准。因此,双语或多语教学似乎比当前的单语教学更有效。本文介绍了关于全球语言对印度本科生影响的研究结果。

Crises, Long Waves, and World-System Analysis 危机、长波和世界体系分析

Andrea Komlosy
The article introduces the concept of long waves or business cycles. It argues that by framing business cycles in a world-system perspective, its initially Western centric character could be overcome and could be used for analyzing the po-larizing tendencies of global capitalism as an uneven and combined economic system, constantly producing and reproducing cores and peripheries. Moreover, world-system scholars interconnected business cycles with hegemonic cycles, characterized by a primus inter pares among the dominant core powers. While the hegemon is acquiring an accepted leading position based on economic, military and cultural power, cyclical change is undermining this position, giving way for competing successors. Based on historical explorations of British and US hegemony, the article discusses the prospects of a hegemonic succession after the decline of the United States. It analyzes whether such a hegemonic change will take place in the framework of the capitalist world system, eventually leading to a period of presumably Chinese hegemony, or whether the current global turmoil will rather open a period of chaos, putting an end to the cyclical renewal of global capitalism, as we experienced during the last 500 years.
本文介绍了长波或商业周期的概念。它认为,通过从世界体系的角度来构建商业周期,可以克服其最初的西方中心特征,并可以用于分析全球资本主义作为一个不平衡和组合的经济体系的两极分化趋势,不断地生产和再生产核心和外围。此外,世界体系学者将商业周期与霸权周期联系在一起,其特征是占主导地位的核心大国之间存在着一种primus interpares。当霸主在经济、军事和文化实力的基础上获得公认的领导地位时,周期性的变化正在破坏这一地位,为竞争的继承者让路。本文在对英美霸权的历史探索的基础上,探讨了美国衰落后霸权继承的前景。它分析了这种霸权变化是否会在资本主义世界体系的框架内发生,最终导致一个可能是中国霸权的时期,或者当前的全球动荡是否会开启一个混乱的时期,结束全球资本主义的周期性更新,就像我们在过去500年所经历的那样。

Globalization and the Continental Philosophies of the Enlightenment: Requestioning the Synthetical Incorporation of Dichotomies 全球化与启蒙运动的大陆哲学:对二分法的综合整合的再质疑
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2019.02.01

Though this paper fully agrees that the ongoing project of globalizing world identities is an offshoot of today's boom of state-of-the arts technologies, it tries to also argue that it is an advanced stage of the intellectual continuum of Enlightenment's universalist grand narratives. Of the narratives of the Enlightenment that I choose to focus on, are seventeenth century imperial ‘liberalism’ of John Locke (1632–1704) and eighteenth century humanist ‘globalism’ of Immanuel Kant (1724–1804). The Lockean ‘liberalist’ and Kantian ‘globalist’ ideals seem to have been – for the last three centuries – at the backdrop of continental politics and philosophical thoughts preoccupied with the ‘World Citizenship’ project. I also try to argue that its enduring alias – globalization – has been kept feasible through the little spoken of but constantly operational Hegelian dialectic. Its capacity to insulate old models of classical political theories against obsoleteness occurs through the constant negotiative conflicting theses out of which integrative syntheses emanate. The recent Western Europe's far-right maintenance of a Kantian fear – mongering ‘status naturalis,’ the border – effacing demise of national sovereignty, and the rise of neoliberal globalization intimately correlate. An in medias res recapitulation of Kant's ‘World Citizenship’ seems to be the ‘end of history's’ final synthesis.
虽然本文完全同意正在进行的世界身份全球化项目是当今最先进技术繁荣的一个分支,但它也试图争辩说,它是启蒙运动普遍主义宏大叙事的智力连续体的一个高级阶段。在我选择关注的启蒙运动的叙述中,有17世纪约翰·洛克(1632-1704)的帝国主义“自由主义”和18世纪伊曼努尔·康德(1724-1804)的人文主义“全球主义”。在过去的三个世纪里,洛克的“自由主义”和康德的“全球主义”理想似乎一直是在大陆政治和哲学思想的背景下,专注于“世界公民”计划。我还试图论证,全球化这一经久不衰的别名,通过很少被提及但却一直在运作的黑格尔辩证法,一直保持着可行性。它将古典政治理论的旧模型与过时隔离开来的能力,是通过不断协商冲突的论点来实现的,而综合综合正是从这些论点中产生的。最近,西欧极右翼对康德式恐惧兜售“自然状态”的维护,对国家主权边界的抹杀,与新自由主义全球化的兴起密切相关。对康德的“世界公民权”的重新概括似乎是历史最终综合的“终结”。

Islamism and Globalization 伊斯兰主义与全球化
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2019.02.02
L. Grinin
Islamism appears one of the most important phenomena of our times and it greatly affects many global processes. In the Muslim world one can hardly find a country where Islamism would not be an influential and stable political factor. It seems impossible to comprehend modern Muslim (especially Arab) societies without taking into account the role of Islamism as simultaneously an ideology, a cultural environment, and a mode of life and guideline to follow. And if one keeps in mind the increasingly large share of the Muslim population in the world, it appears hardly possible to ignore their impact on the current and future globalization trends. All these make the correlation between globalization and Islamism an urgent issue which is, nevertheless, understudied. In the present article we would like to outline some patterns and landmarks of this mutual inter-action. Currently, Islamism is one of the most complicated social phenomena; it is a multifaceted, changing and heterogeneous movement within whose framework there unfolds an intensive ideological and political struggle. We hope the present article will help the reader to obtain some idea about this important phenomenon of the modern world whose development involves interests of billions of people of all countries, religions and views. At that, we emphasize that it is vital to distinguish between radical and moderate types of Islamism; the latter is promising with respect to becoming a positive and promising wing of political system in Muslim countries. We suppose that it is impossible to eliminate the threats posed by radical and terrorist Islamism only by force. One may hope to achieve this goal if they succeed to separate it from moderate Islamism while the latter should become more respectable, open and involved in common political environment.
伊斯兰主义似乎是我们这个时代最重要的现象之一,它极大地影响了许多全球进程。在穆斯林世界,很难找到一个伊斯兰主义不是一个有影响力和稳定的政治因素的国家。如果不考虑伊斯兰主义作为一种意识形态、一种文化环境、一种生活方式和遵循的指导方针,似乎就不可能理解现代穆斯林(尤其是阿拉伯)社会。如果一个人牢记世界上越来越大的穆斯林人口份额,似乎就不可能忽视他们对当前和未来全球化趋势的影响。所有这些都使得全球化和伊斯兰主义之间的关系成为一个亟待解决的问题,然而,这个问题还没有得到充分的研究。在本文中,我们想概述这种相互作用的一些模式和标志。当前,伊斯兰主义是最复杂的社会现象之一;这是一个多方面的、变化的和异质的运动,在其框架内展开了激烈的意识形态和政治斗争。我们希望本文能帮助读者了解这一现代世界的重要现象,它的发展涉及到不同国家、不同宗教和不同观点的数十亿人的利益。在此,我们强调区分激进和温和类型的伊斯兰主义是至关重要的;后者有望成为穆斯林国家政治体系中积极而有前途的一翼。我们认为,仅靠武力是不可能消除激进和恐怖主义伊斯兰主义所构成的威胁的。如果他们成功地将其与温和的伊斯兰主义区分开来,而后者应该变得更加受人尊敬、开放并参与共同的政治环境,人们可能希望实现这一目标。

Confucianism as a Form of Religious Naturalism 儒家作为一种宗教自然主义
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.4324/9781315228907-25
M. E. Tucker
Confucianism religious naturalism encompasses a dynamic cosmological orientation that is interwoven with spiritual expressions in the form of communitarian ethics of the society, self-cultivation of the person, and ritual expressions integrating self, society, and cosmos. This tapestry of spiritual integration, which has had a long and rich history in China and in other countries of East Asia deserves further study. The author thinks such studies will also point the way toward future forms of Confucian religious naturalism in new and creative expressions.
儒家的宗教自然主义包含了一种动态的宇宙论取向,这种取向与社会的共同体伦理、个人的自我修养以及自我、社会和宇宙相结合的仪式表达形式交织在一起。这种精神融合的挂毯,在中国和东亚其他国家有着悠久而丰富的历史,值得进一步研究。作者认为,这些研究也将为未来儒家宗教自然主义的新形式和创造性表达指明道路。

Politics, Culture, Rhetoric, Global Warming: From Local to Global Realities 政治,文化,修辞,全球变暖:从地方到全球现实
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2019.01.01

The politics of global warming represents a dialectic of conservative and progressive agents that respectively deny the existence of global warming and believe it is an existential threat to humankind. This paper relies on ideas suggested by Antonio Gramsci to argue that culture conceived as a political tool provides a means to mitigate the risk of global warming. It reveals how conservative agents at the local level of human communities and governments have used culture as a tool to convince social categories in the United States that global warming is not a problem. Progressive agents fail to use the power of the culture concept to contradict conservative arguments and develop cultural practices that might enable mitigation. The failure of local level practices to mitigate global warming may stimulate the development of an alternative global form of government dedicated exclusively to mitigation to forestall an environmental and human catastrophe.
全球变暖政治代表了保守派和进步派的辩证法,他们分别否认全球变暖的存在,并认为这是对人类生存的威胁。本文依据安东尼奥·葛兰西(Antonio Gramsci)提出的观点,认为文化被视为一种政治工具,为减轻全球变暖的风险提供了一种手段。它揭示了在人类社区和政府的地方层面上,保守的代理人是如何利用文化作为一种工具来说服美国的社会阶层,让他们相信全球变暖不是一个问题。进步的行动者未能利用文化概念的力量来反驳保守的论点,并发展可能促成缓解的文化习俗。地方一级减缓全球变暖的做法失败,可能会刺激另一种全球形式的政府的发展,这种政府专门致力于减缓,以防止环境和人类灾难的发生。

Is Modernization Really Unique in the History of Human Development (Or Just Another Approach that Will Self-Destruct)? 现代化在人类发展史上真的是独一无二的吗(或者只是另一种会自我毁灭的方式)?
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2019.01.03
D. Lempert
A frequent and largely untested assumption in modern social science and development studies is the uniqueness of contemporary societies (termed ‘modern’ or ‘post-modern’) and processes (‘modernization’, ‘globalization’, or ‘global capitalism’) in a new era (the ‘anthropocene’). The belief in this uniqueness is offered as a justification for avoiding comparative study of contemporary social evolution processes using the tools of social science. This lack of comparative (contemporary and historical) study combines with the transformation of disciplines in ways that have dismantled social science and substituted reliance on what are ‘religious’ assumptions. This article tests the concept of ‘modernization’ as a specific cultural strategy or a part of the ‘deep structure’ of contemporary industrialization and empire and its beliefs. The article challenges the mythologies of the uniqueness of the contemporary historical period and the ability of human societies today to completely reshape culture and the environment without still being subject to rules of predictive and comparative social science. While there may be certain unique aspects of contemporary industrialization, the current period of historical evolution does not appear to be free of rules and patterns of rise and fall (or selfdestructiveness) of similar historic imperial cultures.
在现代社会科学和发展研究中,一个频繁且未经检验的假设是当代社会(称为“现代”或“后现代”)和新时代(“人类世”)进程(“现代化”、“全球化”或“全球资本主义”)的独特性。对这种独特性的信念被提供为避免使用社会科学工具对当代社会进化过程进行比较研究的理由。这种比较(当代和历史)研究的缺乏与学科的转变相结合,这种转变已经拆除了社会科学,取而代之的是对“宗教”假设的依赖。本文对“现代化”概念作为一种特定的文化策略或作为当代工业化和帝国及其信仰的“深层结构”的一部分进行了检验。这篇文章挑战了当代历史时期的独特性的神话,以及今天人类社会完全重塑文化和环境的能力,而不受预测和比较社会科学规则的约束。虽然当代工业化可能有某些独特的方面,但当前的历史演变时期似乎并没有摆脱类似历史帝国文化兴衰(或自我毁灭)的规则和模式。

Human Values and Modernization: A Global Analysis 人的价值与现代化:一个全球性的分析
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2019.01.04
Andrey Korotayev, J. Zinkina, E. Slinko, K. Meshcherina
We offer a world-wide analysis of the variation of human values with modernization. Ronald Inglehart and Christian Welzel, the authors of the Human Development Sequence Theory, suggest modernization to be one of the main processes forming the value structures in a population. The current paper investigates the relation between values and modernization applying some elements of the method proposed by Inglehart and Welzel to the data of Shalom Schwartz. The values survey by Schwartz specifies two main value axes, namely conservation/openness to change and self-transcendence/self-enhancement. Our research has revealed that the correlation between these two value axes differs in its direction when es-timated for ‘macro-Europe’ (including Europe and former settlement colonies of North and South America and Oceania) and ‘Afrasia’ (including Asia and Afri-ca). In the Western world there is a significant positive correlation between openness to change and self-transcendence, while in the Eastern world this correlation is strong, significant, and negative. We investigate the possible impact of modernization on this difference. To do this, we approximate modernization through such indicators as GDP per capita and the proportions of the labour force employed in various sectors of economy. We find that in both megazones modernization is accompanied by increasing openness to change. As for the self-transcendence/self-enhancement axis, we propose two possible explanations of the different dynamics observed in Europe and in ‘the East’ (Asia and North Af-rica), namely 1) that Eastern and Western societies find themselves at different modernization stages, and 2) different civilizational patterns. Further analysis makes the latter explanation look more plausible.
我们对人类价值观随着现代化而发生的变化进行了世界范围的分析。人类发展序列理论的作者Ronald Inglehart和Christian Welzel认为,现代化是形成人口价值结构的主要过程之一。本文将Inglehart和Welzel提出的方法的一些元素应用于Shalom Schwartz的数据来研究价值观与现代化之间的关系。施瓦茨的价值观调查指出了两个主要的价值轴,即保守/开放的变化和自我超越/自我提升。我们的研究表明,当对“宏观欧洲”(包括欧洲和北美、南美和大洋洲的前殖民殖民地)和“非洲”(包括亚洲和非洲)进行估计时,这两个价值轴之间的相关性在方向上是不同的。在西方世界,对改变的开放与自我超越之间存在显著的正相关关系,而在东方世界,这种相关关系是强烈的、显著的和负相关的。我们研究了现代化对这种差异的可能影响。为了做到这一点,我们通过人均国内生产总值和各经济部门就业劳动力比例等指标来近似现代化。我们发现,在这两个地区,现代化都伴随着对变化的日益开放。至于自我超越/自我提升轴,我们对欧洲和“东方”(亚洲和北非)所观察到的不同动态提出了两种可能的解释,即1)东方和西方社会发现自己处于不同的现代化阶段;2)不同的文明模式。进一步的分析使后一种解释看起来更加可信。

Ronald Inglehart and Christian Welzel, the authors of the Human Development Sequence Theory, suggest modernization to be one of the main processes forming the value structures in a population. The current paper investigates the relation between values and modernization applying some elements of the method proposed by Inglehart and Welzel to the data of Shalom Schwartz. The values survey by Schwartz specifies two main value axes, namely conservation/openness to change and self-transcendence/self-enhancement. Our research has revealed that the correlation between these two value axes differs in its direction when es-timated for ‘macro-Europe’ (including Europe and former settlement colonies of North and South America and Oceania) and ‘Afrasia’ (including Asia and Afri-ca). In the Western world there is a significant positive correlation between openness to change and self-transcendence, while in the Eastern world this correlation is strong, significant, and negative. We investigate the possible impact of modernization on this difference. To do this, we approximate modernization through such indicators as GDP per capita and the proportions of the labour force employed in various sectors of economy. We find that in both megazones modernization is accompanied by increasing openness to change. As for the self-transcendence/self-enhancement axis, we propose two possible explanations of the different dynamics observed in Europe and in ‘the East’ (Asia and North Af-rica), namely 1) that Eastern and Western societies find themselves at different modernization stages, and 2) different civilizational patterns.
