City States In The Global Economy Industrial Restructuring In Hong Kong And Singapore

City States In The Global Economy Industrial Restructuring In Hong Kong And Singapore

This is the first serious comparative study of two dynamic Asian city-states that are emerging as key regional?indeed global?cities. Providing both historical comparisons and analyses of contemporary issues the authors consider the patterns strategies and consequences of industrial restructuring. They build their analysis around the interrelationships of four institutional spheres: the global economy the state the financial system and the labor market. This leads to a unique emphasis on the distinctiveness of individual NICs as opposed to much of the literature in the field which tends to group these Asian dragons together as a single undifferentiated case. The book addresses three basic sets of questions tied to industrial restructuring in Hong Kong and Singapore: First what are the basic patterns of restructuring in the two economies? What corporate strategies have manufacturers used to restructure their operations? Are Hong Kong and Singapore diverging or utilizing the same restructuring strategies? Second how should the process of restructuring in the two economies and the concomitant similarities or divergencies be explained? Third what are the consequences of the restructuring process for the two economies? How are these processes shaped by the shared histories of Hong Kong and Singapore as colonial port cities their current status as NICs ?squeezed? between industrialized western societies and the Third World and their role as important regional cities in East and Southeast Asia? | City States In The Global Economy Industrial Restructuring In Hong Kong And Singapore

Supporting Diverse Students in Asian Inclusive Classrooms From Policies and Theories to Practice

This edited book is uniquely set in the context of Chinese societies. It deals with the issues of inclusive education in a Chinese context and examines inclusion from the experience of Hong Kong schools. Like other countries in Hong Kong inclusive education has been promoted through Integrated Education (IE) and the Whole-School Approach (WSA). Recently the government has introduced the induction of Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) in each Hong Kong school to help diverse students especially students with special educational needs (SEN) and to develop inclusive teaching and learning practices. This book is one of the first to examine the influence of contextual and Chinese cultural factors in the field of inclusive education in regard to how schools support students with diverse learning needs and SEN. It also offers an account of context-specific measures towards promoting inclusive education. This book will help scholars and school practitioners in Asia in particular and in the West in general develop a comprehensive understanding of context-specific inclusive practices in education for students with diverse learning needs. | Supporting Diverse Students in Asian Inclusive Classrooms From Policies and Theories to Practice

A Deaf Take on Non-Equivalence in Written Chinese Translation

A Deaf Take on Non-Equivalence in Written Chinese Translation

A Deaf Take on Non-Equivalence in Written Chinese Translation examines the issue of lexical non-equivalence between written Chinese and Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL) translation describing its theoretical and practical implications. This research foregrounds the semiotic resources in the Deaf community of Hong Kong by analyzing translation strategies exhibited by Deaf Hongkongers when they were invited to translate written Chinese passages with specialized and culturally specific concepts in a monologic setting. With discourse analysis as a framework the major findings of this research were that: (1) a taxonomy of strategies featured depiction manual representations of Chinese characters and visual metonymy writing and mouthing; (2) employment of multisemiotic and multimodal resources gave intended viewers access to different facets of meaning; and (3) repeated renditions of the same concepts gave rise to condensed abbreviated occasionalisms. Observations from this research serve as a point of reference for interpreting scholars practitioners and students as well as policymakers who formulate interpretation service provision and assessment.

Social Theory and the Political Imaginary Practice Critique and History

Social Theory and the Political Imaginary Practice Critique and History

Social Theory and the Political Imaginary: Practice Critique and History is an innovative work of synthesis critique and analysis. It presages a social theory perspective that recognizes the constitutive significance of the political imaginary in modernity. Social theory’s current dilemmas are explored through a series of interlinked assessments of recent substantial strands specifically Luc Boltanski’s pragmatism and the wider ‘practical turn ’ the perspectives of multiple modernities and global modernity the outlook of social and political imaginaries and critical social theory. The political imaginary’s reconfigurations are evident in the tensions of global modernity and original social theory interpretations are advanced of landmark instances of twenty-first-century social contestation: the Hong Kong protests conditioned by threats to civil freedoms and a lack of self-determination the radical democratic practices of anti-austerity movements contesting capitalist globalization’s injustices and the inverted cosmopolitanism of the 2005 French Riots challenging the oppression and inequalities experienced by immigrant communities and marginalized youth. These incisive applications of social theory and complementary conceptual innovations illuminate the vicissitudes of social struggles political forms and theoretical perspectives. Similarly reflection on the political imaginary is found to enable a necessary rethinking of the interrelationship of practice critique and history. | Social Theory and the Political Imaginary Practice Critique and History

Methodological Advancements in Social Impacts of Tourism Research

Methodological Advancements in Social Impacts of Tourism Research

This book offers a fresh perspective of on some of the cutting-edge methodological approaches being used among scholars conducting work on social impacts of tourism. These works are international in focus spanning across Europe (e. g. Austria Croatia Portugal Serbia Slovenia Spain and Turkey) and Asia (e. g. Hong Kong Iran Japan Malaysia Singapore Thailand and Turkey). The authors employ qualitative quantitative and mixed methods designs and some of the notable focus areas include comparative studies of residents’ perspectives of tourism (i. e. involving impacts of various forms of tourism and community children’s perceptions of tourism); statistical techniques such as multigroup invariance analysis and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis; and the employment of novel measurement tools such as the implicit association test involving residents’ implicit stereotypes of visitors from multiple countries and the utilization of the human-scale development to identify residents’ needs and satisfiers. This edited volume will most assuredly advance the methodological focus of research on social impacts of tourism moving forward. This book will be of great interest to all upper-level students and researchers in tourism planning and related fields.
