It will be argued that although economic reforms were being introduced and implemented from 1979 onwards, the road toward basic systemic reform was blocked by the absence of a simultaneous change of the political system. keywords: central; china; chinese; committee; decision; deng; economic; economy; enterprises; ibid; jingji; liu; mao; market; party; people; planning; power; process; reform; state; system; yaobang cache: cjas-1747.pdf plain text: cjas-1747.txt item: #20 of 86 id: cjas-1748 author: None title: Vi opdaterer systemet date: None words: 12 flesch: 46 summary: Vi opdaterer systemet Vi opdaterer systemet... rauli.cbs.dk opdateres og er snart tilgængeligt. keywords: opdaterer cache: cjas-1748.htm plain text: cjas-1748.txt item: #21 of 86 id: cjas-1750 author: None title: Vi opdaterer systemet date: None words: 12 flesch: 46 summary: Vi opdaterer systemet Vi opdaterer systemet... rauli.cbs.dk opdateres og er snart tilgængeligt. keywords: opdaterer cache: cjas-1750.htm plain text: cjas-1750.txt item: #22 of 86 id: cjas-1751 author: Thøgersen, Stig title: The Importance of the Colour of the Cat: Ideology and Rationality in Chinese Rural Education after Mao date: 2008-05-15 words: 7137 flesch: 52 summary: The literacy level of the present generation of rural primary school students can therefore not be expected to rise above the level reached in the seven- ties.

The conclusion will suggest that although Marxian histories crafted during the late 1940s and early 1950s overlooked the concrete relationship of the individual to the nation whose (liberationist) sub- jectivity it had just conceived, they nevertheless furnished ideas about writing history that could be appropriated by those 'without voices' in Japan, particularly women.

This paper will attempt to re-read the 'crisis' and the post-crisis socie- ties of Southeast Asia from a sociological and theoretical viewpoint in an attempt to ask more searching questions about what the 1997 crisis 'means' when it comes to conceptualizing or reconceptualizing processes of social transformation in contemporary Southeast Asia beyond the conventional paradigms that have tended to dominate interpretation hitherto. keywords: 1998; asian; class; crisis; cultural; culture; development; globalization; new; region; societies; sociology; southeast asia; states; studies cache: cjas-31.pdf plain text: cjas-31.txt item: #48 of 86 id: cjas-32 author: None title: Vi opdaterer systemet date: None words: 12 flesch: 46 summary: Vi opdaterer systemet Vi opdaterer systemet... rauli.cbs.dk opdateres og er snart tilgængeligt. keywords: opdaterer cache: cjas-32.htm plain text: cjas-32.txt item: #49 of 86 id: cjas-33 author: None title: Vi opdaterer systemet date: None words: 12 flesch: 46 summary: Vi opdaterer systemet Vi opdaterer systemet... rauli.cbs.dk opdateres og er snart tilgængeligt. keywords: opdaterer cache: cjas-33.htm plain text: cjas-33.txt item: #50 of 86 id: cjas-34 author: Teh Cheng Guan, Benny title: ASEAN's Regional Integration Challenge: The ASEAN Process date: 2004-04-10 words: 10551 flesch: 50 summary: Furthermore, it was during the onslaught of the Asian meltdown that ASEAN members reaffirmed their commitment for regional solidarity, producing the ASEAN Vision 2020 statement. 3 Acharya (2001: 47-68) discerns between ASEAN norms like non-interference, peace- ful resolution, non-use of force, and regional autonomy and the ASEAN way such as informality, consensus-building and consultation. keywords: asean; commitment; cooperation; countries; integration; mattli; members; non; norms; organization; process; region; southeast; sovereignty; states; studies; way cache: cjas-34.pdf plain text: cjas-34.txt item: #51 of 86 id: cjas-35 author: None title: Vi opdaterer systemet date: None words: 12 flesch: 46 summary: Vi opdaterer systemet Vi opdaterer systemet... rauli.cbs.dk opdateres og er snart tilgængeligt. keywords: opdaterer cache: cjas-35.htm plain text: cjas-35.txt item: #52 of 86 id: cjas-36 author: None title: Vi opdaterer systemet date: None words: 12 flesch: 46 summary: Vi opdaterer systemet Vi opdaterer systemet... rauli.cbs.dk opdateres og er snart tilgængeligt. keywords: opdaterer cache: cjas-36.htm plain text: cjas-36.txt item: #53 of 86 id: cjas-37 author: None title: Vi opdaterer systemet date: None words: 12 flesch: 46 summary: Vi opdaterer systemet Vi opdaterer systemet... rauli.cbs.dk opdateres og er snart tilgængeligt. keywords: opdaterer cache: cjas-37.htm plain text: cjas-37.txt item: #54 of 86 id: cjas-39 author: Deans, Phil title: Nationalism and National Self-Assertion in the People's Republic of China: State Patriotism versus Popular Nationalism? date: 2005-03-10 words: 8305 flesch: 50 summary: While the Chinese leadership appears to want to pursue a pragmatic policy toward Japan, the mobilisation of the his- torical legacy in the context of popular Chinese nationalism constantly limits the ability of the Chinese leadership to develop and maintain a coherent relationship.

Although Hu Jintao has pointed out the importance of 'scientific development' and 'harmonious society' in his 17th Party Congress report in October 2007, the focus of the report was intended to convey a continuation of Deng Xiaoping's idea on economic development.6 Nor does it make any difference if the rise of China has turned into an economic force that has challenged American economic hegemony, providing competition to US economic interests regarding acquisitions, and more generally competing with economic sectors that are considered to be very critical and sensitive in maintaining US power and prosperity (Marchick 2006). keywords: 2005; 2006; asia; china; chinese; east; economic; history; international; power; relations; rise; social; states; theory; university; world cache: cjas-931.pdf plain text: cjas-931.txt
