{"title":"STUDENT MOBILITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE EUROPEAN UNION : APPLICATION OF ROY MODEL TO SKILL MIGRATION","authors":"Yukari Matsuzuka","doi":"10.15057/18626","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15057/18626","url":null,"abstract":"The international migration of skilled workers is becoming an increasingly important issue in the globalized economy. In a world of rapid technological changes, skilled workers are a primary resource for maintaining a competitive and sustainable economy. Accordingly, higher education policy in recent years in major industrialized countries has more visibly reflected their national economic plans. In the United States, the contribution of higher educction to economic growth has been a major rationale for the state funding of postsecondary system (Becker and Lewis 1992, Hornbeck and Salamon 1991) . In recent years, European countries have placed even more significant emphasis on their human resources strategies to realize regional economic growth. A well-known example is the Bologna Process, a series of higher education schemes that aim at creating a European Higher Education Area. Particularly after the Lisbon Treaty in 2000, the Bologna Process has been closely associated with issues of economic growth, employment policy and social planning (Furlong 2005), what Roeger calls “knowledge investment” in the EU (Roeger et al. 2009). The process is still a work in progress, and it is certainly too early to evaluate the effects of the educational planning on their economy. Nonetheless, the major features of the Bologna Process such as the promotion of skill mobility and quality assurance for the postsecondary system have been steadily evolving and diffusing. One of the most influential US scholars in the study of postsecondary education, Clifford Adelman, says that “the core features of the Bologna Process have sufficient momentum to become the dominant global higher education model within the next two decades” (Adelman 2009). The mobility enhancement and quality assurance for the Bologna Process derive specific action plans including the provision of mobility grants, the development of transferable credits and degrees, and the establishment of reference points based on which universities in the EU design comparable curriculum. The combination of these actions is a well-designed approach that potentially generates significant synergetic effects. Mobility enhancement facilitates comparability between credits and degrees, which in turn facilitates mobility. In order to Hitotsubashi Journal of Social Studies 42 (2010), pp.1-9.

{"title":"After the Reform : How is Japan's Local Democracy Changing?","authors":"C. Schmidt","doi":"10.15057/17528","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15057/17528","url":null,"abstract":"Over the past decade Japanʼs local democracy is undergoing a considerable change. Until the revision of more than 400 laws concerning local autonomy, known as the decentralization reforms, extensive use had been made of local governments as central government implementing agents through the system of agency-delegated functions. This system gave the central government in Japan the authority to require local executives to implement certain functions that they chose to delegate. With the passing of the decentralization reform package in 2000 ̶ praised as one of the most spectacular reforms of post-war Japan ̶ the system of agency-delegated functions (kikan i’ nin jimu) was eliminated and replaced with an equal cooperation system (taitô kyôryoku), which has substantially changed Japanʼs centre-local relations. The NPO (Non-Profit Organization) Law has established a new legislative framework in response to activities undertaken by NPOs. Finally, the revision of the Law on Municipal Mergers, a complement of the decentralization reform package, has led to a reorganization of municipalities by reducing their number significantly. Decentralization reforms occur nearly universally in the developed world, and there is evidence of a close link between the granting of more autonomy and societal transformations, such as declining birth rates and aging populations. Central governments increasingly rely on localities and private actors to provide services formerly delivered by the nation state. As a result of this ongoing shift of power between political actors in Japan one central research question emerges: To which extent have these reforms impacted the nature of Japanʼs local democracy especially with regard to citizen participation and local interest intermediation? While voting in national elections is only one way of participating in politics, it is the key one in democracies. Consequently, the practice of citizensʼ participation in local elections is investigated with regard to changes in voter turnout and party affiliations. The debate on social and political change in post-industrial societies, however, implies a growing dealignment from the established parties and a decline in the turnout rate. This decline is expected to go hand in hand with an increase in participation through non-institutionalised channels. Thus, the question Hitotsubashi Journal of Social Studies 41 (2009), pp.13-31.

The strength of the first and family name letter preferences differed according to the participants' gender. Implicit egotism is partially observed among male participants, thus they boosted their name letter preference after being exposed to a selfthreatening task.","PeriodicalId":335834,"journal":{"name":"Hitotsubashi journal of social studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125377292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
