The Beijing University Student Movement in the Hundred Flowers Campaign in 1957

Student activism in twentieth-century China has been a widely researched subject since the 1989 Tiananmen protests. However, little is known about Beijing University student movement in the Hundred Flowers Campaign in 1957, especially in English language sources. Based on posters and speeches from the movement, as well as student memoirs, this study situates the movement in a historical framework, and specifically looks at repertoires, organizations, framings, political opportunities and constraints, and reflections of the movement

Many flowers, small leaps forward: debating doctoral design in education

As a point of departure for this review I have taken three events in 2000, a time when debate about research degrees in Design seemed to reach a peak. Two were conferences: the Design+Research Conference at Politecnico di Milano and the 2nd Conference on Doctoral Education in Design at La Clusaz, France. The third was a particularly heated online debate by members of the DRS email discussion list during the preceding year. While these three events by no means define the whole territory they do crystallise some issues which continue to characterise the PhD "problem". In looking at these events, and the wider picture of research degrees in design, I would like to draw out two themes. The first of these is the different, but complementary experiences of colleagues in many parts of the world who are wrestling with these issues. The second is the problem of a proliferation of ideas, philosophical positions and rhetoric, which is not matched, as yet, by many visible developments in practice. Perhaps this is not surprising since any small development in this context has a gestation period of at least 3 years and could take much longer to move outside the walls of the institution which has fostered it.</p

Should There Be a Rule Compelling ADR? Follow the Road Where a Thousand Flowers May Grow

(Excerpt) One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. \u27Which road do I take?\u27 she asked. \u27Where do you want to go?\u27 \u27I don’t know,\u27 Alice answered. \u27Then,\u27 said the cat, \u27it doesn’t matter.\u27 So too, in 1994 NYS reached the proverbial fork in road as our state continued its foray into dispute resolution. Which road should New York State proceed down to promote the development of ADR in our state? Should New York State adopt a mandatory rule compelling ADR or should New York State embrace a more voluntary approach to ADR use? Expectedly, an individual reader’s initial preference for one approach or the other may be based on whether she is an ADR enthusiast or naysayer. Yet, New York State’s decision to support a voluntary approach rather than a mandatory approach to ADR is actually a nuanced one that respects New York’s court culture and adheres to conflict resolution system design principles. First, I explore the rationale for, and gains made under, New York’s chosen path, an evolutionary approach to ADR development. Then, I contemplate the lost opportunities on the road not taken, mandatory ADR. Finally, at our current fork in the road, I invite you to consider which path we should take as we continue to advance the responsible development of ADR use in New York State

REBIRTH OF CHINESE LEGAL SCHOLARSHIP, WITH REGARD TO INTERNATIONAL LAW

The fate of Chinese legal scholarship appears to have been closely linked to the chronological development of legal education in China. The periods of incubation of legal scholarship covered nearly three decades of internal strife and political turmoil from 1949 to 1978. The rebirth of Chinese legal scholarship did not take place immediately upon China\u27s return to the United Nations (in 1971). This return, however, marked the first sign of a change of policy towards legal scholarship. The author briefly describes the history, development and current status of (Chinese) legal scholarship and attitude towards international law in China
