China, a multinational country with 56 nationalities, has a complex linguistic configuration with more than two hundred languages. The prestige and hegemony of contemporary standardised Chinese relegates the languages and cultures of the 55 ethnic minorities to the shadows, in contrast to a state policy proclaiming the "flourishing of the 56 nationalities in the great family of the Chinese Nation". In the current circumstances where China is participating in accelerated urbanisation and globalisation, this thesis aims to shed light on the language practices, glottopolitical interventions, language representations, and sociolinguistic identity of a group of young Tibetan students in their aspirations for academic and social success in mainland China, specifically in Shandong province, the homeland of Confucius and a place strongly marked by the emphasis on the pursuit of academic success. ; La Chine, un pays multinational qui possède 56 nationalités, présente une configuration linguistique complexe avec plus de deux cents langues.

The Changing Urban Political Order and Politics of Space: A Study of Hong Kong's POSPD Policy
In: Urban affairs review, Band 54, Heft 4, S. 732-760
ISSN: 1552-8332
There is an increasing tension between the land development regime and grassroots antigrowth coalitions in Hong Kong, where public spaces have played a critical role. This article aims to examine (1) whether the transitional process of urban political orders is punctuated or gradual; (2) whether transitional change is driven by exogenous factors, endogenous factors, or both; (3) the extent to which the social production model of power is still applicable in the postindustrial era; and (4) how political sociospatial dialectic works in the changing urban political order. This study first reviews the development of Public Open Spaces in Private Development (POSPD) with the changing urban political order, and then explains why POSPD policy has become the concern of both the regime and the emerging antigrowth coalition. Two representative spatial protests are explored to illustrate how awakening civil power challenges the regime and how the regime resists and defends its realm.
Cooperative Learning and Learning Culture: the Teaching Mode of First-class University Postgraduate Education and Achieving Goals
In October 2015, in as a whole to promote the world first-class universities and the first-class disciplines construction overall plan, the Chinese government proposed to speed up to build a group of world first-class universities and first-class disciplines (hereinafter referred to as "Double first-class").Since then, Chinese universities and colleges have begun to build a first-class university. The postgraduate education as the important carrier of Double first-class construction of universities, its quality and level is directly related to the success or failure of the university's Double first-class construction. Therefore, the current teaching mode and achievement of postgraduate education will change to adapt to the new demands and requirements of postgraduate education in the new period. Thus, as the main mode of teachers' teaching and students' learning, cooperative learning will help to train the postgraduates to conduct peer learning activities, realize their highly personalized and interactive learning activities and improve their cultivation quality and practice level. At the same time, in the postgraduate stage , cultivating the learning culture of postgraduate groups through cooperative learning, and finally form the postgraduate individual lifelong learning ability and quality, will be the latest demands and requirements of Chinese Higher Education development to postgraduate education in the new period, also be the ultimate goal of postgraduate education in Double first-class construction background.

Russia Revisited in Conrad's Under Western Eyes
Under Western Eyes is often regarded as one of Conrad's political novels, as it deals with the issues of autocracy, democracy and revolution in Tsarist Russia at the turn of the twentieth century. Indeed, set in the autocratic state of Russia and overtly political, Conrad cracks open superficial perceptions of what "autocratic state" may imply and what a political novel may mean by digging deep into the personal and psychological struggles of its protagonist, Razumov. Razumov's personal tragedy, viewed in this regard, carries the weight of Russia; his story encapsulates "things Russia". Seeing Razumov's catastrophic end in Under Western Eyes as the verdict Conrad delivered on "things Russia", this paper seeks to examine the difficulties Russia confronting in finding its identity when it is challenged with the democratic ideal and economic prosperity embraced by Western Europe.

No Safe Heaven
Adopted from the Greenwich bombing which had taken place in 1890, The Secret Agent is a dramatic portrayal of the sociological concept of "anomie" – radical disorder in the social structure and consequent personal dislocation. Despite its ironic scepticism, the novel carries with it certain implications for conduct. It does not amount to a political program, any more than it provides to a moral code, but it suggests an ideal social order through its representation of a world with order. This paper thus seeks to explore Conrad's version of a modern world in a state of fragmentation.

Strategic Analysis of Participants in the Provision of Elderly Care Services—An Evolutionary Game Perspective
Population aging poses challenges to the immature elderly care service system in many countries. The strategic behaviors of different participants in the provision of elderly care services in a long-term and dynamic situation have not been well studied. In this paper, an evolutionary game model is developed to analyze the strategic behaviors of two types of participants—the government sectors and the private sectors in provision of elderly care services. Firstly, eight scenarios are analyzed, and the evolutionary process and stable strategies are identified. Then, the behavioral strategies of the two types of participants under demand disturbance and dynamic subsidy strategy are analyzed. Simulation experiments are conducted to explore the influence of different initial conditions and parameter changes on the evolutionary process and results. The obtained observations are not only conducive to a systematic understanding of the long-term dynamic provision of elderly care services but also to the policymaking of the government.

Assessing Local Communities' Willingness to Pay for River Network Protection: A Contingent Valuation Study of Shanghai, China
River networks have experienced serious degradation because of rapid urbanization and population growth in developing countries such as China, and the protection of these networks requires the integration of evaluation with ecology and economics. In this study, a structured questionnaire survey of local residents in Shanghai (China) was conducted in urban and suburban areas. The study examined residents' awareness of the value of the river network, sought their attitude toward the current status, and employed a logistic regression analysis based on the contingent valuation method (CVM) to calculate the total benefit and explain the socioeconomic factors influencing the residents' willingness to pay (WTP). The results suggested that residents in Shanghai had a high degree of recognition of river network value but a low degree of satisfaction with the government's actions and the current situation. The study also illustrated that the majority of respondents were willing to pay for river network protection. The mean WTP was 226.44 RMB per household per year. The number of years lived in Shanghai, the distance from the home to the nearest river, and the amount of the bid were important factors that influenced the respondents' WTP. Suggestions for comprehensive management were proposed for the use of policy makers in river network conservation.
