Cooperation on Capacity-Building and the Transfer of Marine Technology: An Interpretation of Article 41 under the BBNJ Agreement

Abstract: Cooperation mechanism on capacity-building and the transfer of marine technology (CBTMT) under the BBNJ Agreement, is pivotal for enabling inclusive, equitable, and effective cooperation and participation in the activities undertaken, thereby assisting Parties-in particular developing State Parties-in implementing the Agreement. Article 41 established cooperation norms on CBTMT through three pillars: mandatory cooperation obligations, cross-sector partnerships, and differentiated cooperation process. These provisions aim to safeguard developing countries’ interests while advancing the global governance framework for the sustainable use and conservation of marine biodiversity. However, compromises during the negotiations of the BBNJ Agreement introduce challenges in implementation, primarily due to the reluctance of developed countries and other stakeholders to engage fully into cooperative efforts, coupled with the power inequality among the Parties. This paper proposes a legal analysis framework to address these challenges and enhancing the efficacy of CBTMT cooperation under the BBNJ Agreement. Read More

Dilemma and Path Optimization Faced by Grassroots Governments under the Perspective of Multi-center Governance

Abstract: In recent years, network governance has been a frontier topic in public management research in Western countries. As a new governance model, network governance is an attempt by the government to cooperate with private organizations, non-governmental organizations and citizens in the face of an increasingly complex environment, in order to better provide public services to the public. In particular, with the interdependence, contingency and uncertainty of social, political and economic changes, the governance process is no longer limited to the formal structure of the government. The formulation and implementation of public policies need to be completed through a large number of formal and informal institutions, mechanisms and processes. Therefore, this paper intends to study the difficulties and performance of grassroots government management in my country, as well as the root causes of the difficulties, from the perspective of multi-center governance theory; and in connection with the actual situation, it proposes improvement methods and suggestions from the aspects of positioning the functions of grassroots governments, creating consensus and trust in grassroots government network governance, and cultivating and integrating the network structure of grassroots governance, so as to enhance the practical significance of this model of network governance for my country.

Research on the Path of Green Economic Transformation and Technological Innovation Policy from the Perspective of Corporate Social Responsibility

Abstract: Driven by global climate governance and sustainable development goals, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is shifting from passive compliance to proactive innovation, becoming the core engine of green economy transformation. Based on CSR perspective, this study explores the synergy path between technological innovation policy and green economy transformation. By analyzing the mechanism of incentive and constraint policies and international practical experience, this paper reveals the efficiency boundary of policy tools in driving enterprise technological innovation, and puts forward the transformation path of "technology-institution-governance" linkage. The results show that CSR internalizes social responsibility into technological innovation power by reshaping enterprise cost-benefit structure; policy design needs to balance hardness and softness, and stimulate enterprise endogenous transformation willingness through incentive and constraint combination tools; the success of green economy transformation depends on the deep coordination among government, enterprise and society in standard setting, resource sharing and benefit coordination.

Research on the Reform Path of Intelligent Manufacturing Practice Teaching under the Background of "New Four Modernizations"

Abstract: In the context of the "New Four Modernizations," intelligent manufacturing, as a key area driving the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, has made practical teaching reform crucial for enhancing the quality of talent cultivation. Based on an in-depth analysis of the current status of practical teaching in intelligent manufacturing, and considering the profound impact of the "New Four Modernizations," a systematic design of practical teaching reform paths has been developed. Under the background of electrification, practical teaching should emphasize content related to new energy technologies and green manufacturing; under the shared economy backdrop, there should be a focus on resource sharing and the cultivation of collaborative innovation capabilities; under the intelligentization backdrop, course content should include smart equipment, intelligent systems, and data analysis; under the networked backdrop, practical teaching should concentrate on improving network communication, information security, and system integration capabilities. By constructing the evaluation index system of practical teaching reform and using questionnaire survey, interview and data analysis to evaluate, the research found that the practical teaching after the reform has achieved significant improvement in curriculum system, training base construction, faculty quality and students' practical ability. In addition, the research also put forward countermeasures and suggestions for the problems faced in the reform process, such as increasing the intensity of curriculum system update, increasing investment in practical training base construction, strengthening teacher training and broadening the channels for cultivating students' practical ability, so as to provide practical guidance and theoretical support for the reform of intelligent manufacturing practice teaching.

Analyzing Human-Machine Relationships in the Post-Sora Era through Engels' Dialectical Perspective on Contradictions

Abstract: As the fundamental viewpoint of materialist dialectics, the dialectical perspective on contradictions maintains significant practical relevance and scientific value in analyzing and guiding contemporary affairs. In 2024, OpenAI unveiled Sora, a text-to-video model whose formidable capabilities in artistic creation have garnered extensive scholarly attention. The advent of Sora heralds a new epoch in artificial intelligence (AI), fostering an interactive human-machine relationship replete with contradictions and challenges. While recognizing the inherent contradictions within Sora's human-machine dynamics, we must simultaneously discern emerging developmental opportunities. Drawing upon Friedrich Engels' dialectical view of contradictions, this study employs multi-perspective analysis to examine the paradoxical nature of Sora-class AI systems and explore optimal coexistence patterns between artificial and human intelligence.

The Practice Instructor System: Salvation or Illusion in Master’s-Level Social Work Education?

Abstract: Although master's programs in social work claim to prioritize the cultivation of practice-oriented professionals, in reality, they have long been trapped in a dilemma of "emphasizing theory while neglecting practice." As a result, graduates often find themselves ill-equipped to address complex social issues. The practice instructor system has been heralded as a potential panacea for bridging this gap. However, its implementation has repeatedly faltered due to a lack of qualified mentors, institutional deficiencies, and structural limitations. Adopting a critical perspective, this paper questions the effectiveness of the current model of social work education at the master’s level and directly confronts the multiple constraints facing the practice instructor system. Despite the numerous challenges, the paper argues that the practice instructor system is not an unattainable ideal. With targeted institutional design and well-calibrated incentive mechanisms, it holds significant potential to become a catalyst for substantive reform in social work education. Read More

Attribution Analysis and Countermeasures of Silence Phenomenon in Public English Classes at Vocational Colleges

Abstract: Silence phenomenon in public English classes at higher vocational colleges in China poses a significant challenge to teaching quality and student development. This study investigates the multidimensional causes of classroom silence, focusing on student-related factors (weak foundational skills, utilitarian learning mindsets, and psychological barriers), teacher-related issues (outdated pedagogical methods and negative attitudes), and cultural-environmental influences (traditional values conflicting with modern educational needs and the marginalized status of English courses). This paper proposes targeted countermeasures which include fostering students’ metacognitive abilities through reflective practices, adopting student-centered teaching strategies (e.g., interactive activities and digital tools), enhancing institutional support via incentive mechanisms and teacher training, and promoting a culturally inclusive classroom environment. By addressing these factors holistically, the study aims to mitigate classroom silence, improve learner engagement, and advance pedagogical reforms in higher vocational English education. Read More

Research on Climate Governance Provisions in International Investment Treaties

Abstract: The climate governance models involved in international investment law are mainly divided into three types: the hard law approach, the soft law approach, and the approach that combines both hard and soft law. Each of these approaches offers solutions to different climate governance issues in international investment.This paper argues that the crux of the climate governance challenges in international investment lies in the conflict between the economic value of efficiency and the international public principle of efficiency. According to international practice, the reasons for the differences in climate governance models in international investment include the pluralism of legal interpretation, the fragmentation of treaties and other international documents, and the differences in the construction of legitimacy and legality.This paper believes that state actors can address the conflict between the legitimacy and legality of climate protection clauses in international investment by establishing a dual path of “hard law and soft law” through international cooperation.
