Transnational Competence
In this timely new contribution, Koehn and Rosenau develop their transnational-competence framework and demonstrate the promise of its application across six critical professions: teacher education, engineering, business management, social work, sustainable-development (encompassing agricultural sciences, public administration, and natural-resources management), and medicine/health. Transnational Competence offers higher-education leaders around …

Donor-Supported Transnational Higher Education Initiatives for Development and Research
Donors and higher education partners
Linking key policy themes of interest in the published literature on development studies and comparative education, the article initially explores the potential benefits and risks of partnering transnationally for contextually informed research and sustainable development from the perspective of Southern and Northern higher education institutions. Higher education partnerships recently supported by the development-assistance agencies of Canada an…
Transforming the Boundaries of Health Care
Despite its growing practice, transnational medical care has not yet been embedded as a critical component of health research, professional practice, or analyses of changes in the social determinants of health. Biomedical practitioners in Finland have failed to take into account the transformative role of transnational health care. Consequently, Somali migrants do not receive informed advice on how to incorporate distant practices into physical a…
Climate policy and action ‘underneath’ Kyoto and Copenhagen
This contribution focuses on the role and promise of municipal‐government climate‐stabilization policies in the world's two largest greenhouse gases (GHG)‐emitting nations. The article compares emission‐mitigation authority, drivers, barriers, and activities at the city level in China and the United States. Recent municipal policy initiatives are analyzed within a policy context of climate‐driven and climate‐incidental municipal framings. For the…
Linking China, India, and the United States
Professor Shalendra Sharma's China and India in the Age of Globalization provides an informative and timely contribution to the literature on the rising role and status of China and India in world affairs. Sharma's treatment of the political economy of both countries and implications for future-defining Sino-Indian, US–China, and US–India relations is richly detailed, current, and informed by consultation with much of the voluminous relevant lite…
Indigenous studies and intercultural education
The article presents a student‐impact assessment of a model two‐year place‐based intercultural approach to indigenous education. Students at Lewis & Clark Primary School in Missoula, Montana, connected face‐to‐face with tribal educators and members residing in the nearby American Indian reservation. The program’s learning outcomes included impressive gains in knowledge of Montana tribes, fewer stereotypical images, enhanced consciousness about th…
Underneath Kyoto
At present, progress in mitigating global GHG emissions is impeded by political stalemate at the national level in the United States and the People's Republic of China. Through the conceptual lenses of multilevel governance and framing politics, the article analyzes emerging policy initiatives among subnational governments in both countries. Effective subnational emission-mitigating action requires framing climatic-stabilization policies in terms…
Peaceful and Sustainable Development? Middle-Management Entrepreneurship and Transnational Competence in China
Globalization, migration health, and educational preparation for transnational medical encounters
Unprecedented migration, a core dimension of contemporary globalization, challenges population health. In a world of increasing human mobility, many health outcomes are shaped by transnational interactions among care providers and care recipients who meet in settings where nationality/ethnic match is not an option. This review article explores the value of transnational competence (TC) education as preparation for ethnically and socially discorda…
Health-care Outcomes in Ethnoculturally Discordant Medical Encounters
Transnational Migration, State Policy and Local Clinician Treatment of Asylum Seekers and Resettled Migrants
Based on interviews conducted at five Finnish reception centers and in two municipal communes during summer 2002 with 93 migrants, mainly from a variety of Southern and Eastern countries of origin, and their ethnoculturally discordant clinicians, the article compares asylum seekers and foreign-born residents in terms of health care treatment and outcome perspectives. Comparative analysis suggests that context makes a difference in post-migration …
Clinician/Patient Connections in Ethnoculturally Nonconcordant Encounters With Political-Asylum Seekers
The article compares the ability of nurses and physicians to connect with patients in ethnoculturally nonconcordant clinical encounters with 41 randomly selected political-asylum seekers (PAS) residing at five Finnish reception centers in summer 2002. Doctors and nurses were equally unlikely to draw congruent assessments of the patient’s past and present health condition, mixed use of biomedical/ethnocultural practices, adherence with medication …

Global Politics and Multinational Health-care Encounters
Sustainable development frontiers and divides
Perpetuation of the South-North divide over climate change threatens to undermine the sustainability of the planet's vulnerable ecosystems. The current focus of international attention is on the USA and the PRC since both countries are in a position to negate or clinch the global warming mitigation efforts of the rest of the world community and because the two governments are primarily responsible for the entrenched global impasse over greenhouse…
Great-Power Decentralization and the Management of Global/Local Economic Policy and Relations
This article compares the practice of great power federalism in terms of global/local economic policy and relations in a context of expanding regional influence and transcontinental reach. The authors contrast China's recent decentralization experience with that of the FRG and the United States with respect to management of productive ventures, regulation of the economy, trade and commerce, fiscal relations, monetary policy and labor mobility. Th…
Great-Power Decentralization and the Management of Global/Local Economic Policy and Relations
Transnational Competence in an Emergent Epoch
The article elaborates a framework for understanding the relevance of transnational competence to the dynamics that mark the transformations of our time. Nongovernmental stakeholders interacting through dense civil-society networks that permeate domestic-foreign frontiers bear increasing responsibility for the course of events. Based on linked interests, interorganizational knowledge generation and aggregation, partnerships, and interpersonal/int…

Chinese Americans and U.S.-China Relations in the Twenty-first Century
The arrival of the new millennium offers a wake-up interval during which scholars, public-policy makers, media representatives, cultural leaders, and the attentive public could fruitfully take a fresh look at U.S.-China interactions in light of the global changes that have altered the underlying context of this crucial relationship in fundamental, but widely unappreciated, ways. Four developments are particularly illuminating in understanding the…

Ethiopia
In 1970, drought and famine began to afflict Ethiopia (Shepherd, 1975: ix; U.S.Depart. of State, 1974: 41; Wiseburg, 1975: 299). By 1974, almost 8 percent of Ethiopia's people had experienced starvation (Shepherd, 1975: 39) and more than two hundred thousand Ethiopians had perished in the famine's wake. The famine captured an exceptionally high level of public and media attention throughout the world. Considerable public concern arose within Ethi…

State Land Allocation and Class Formation in Nigeria
The distribution of land-use rights both defines and shapes African political economy. Control over land can be utilised in various ways to accumulate capital for either autonomous or comprador investments in the domestic economy. The acquisition of official titles to land concomitantly affords the holder opportunities to exploit those who do not possess this valuable resource. For these reasons, command over land offers the state a powerful mean…

Competitive Transition to Civilian Rule
Few Decisions exert a greater impact upon the polity and the pattern of public policy-making than those defining the nature of the political system itself. Transitions from military to civilian rule constitute a dramatic type of institutional change which is encountered with increasing frequency in the Third World. One type of 'planned withdrawal' initially involes little alteration in the distribution of power. This approach, which has been empl…

Analysing the Ethiopian Revolution
The Africana section of The Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. XIX, No. 4, December 1980, pp. 685-91, features a 'cautionary tale' written by John M. Cohen that is devoted to a critique of published treatments of the Ethiopian revolution. In particular, Cohen purports to show that important data on post-coup food production had neither been consulted nor considered in a previously published study of the impact on the nation's agricultural se…

Resettled Refugees from Ethiopia
Success in flight from one's country of origin does not guarantee a secure place of refuge. Most refugees languish for years, even decades, in a neighboring country of first asylum. In general terms, relocation in the industrialized North depends upon individual initiative and application of receiving-country admission policy. This article identifies main waves of post-revolution refugees from Ethiopia who have managed to secure resettlement in t…

Refugees From Revolution
This is an ambitious and useful
Repatriates and colonial auxiliaries
The reason why the notion of a ‘repatriate’ seems distant to native English-speakers is that the relevant experience has been unusual in British and American history. However, repatriation has occasioned deep political traumas in other countries. Let me provide some examples. In 1960, the Belgians scrambled out of the Congo amidst scenes of chaos and destruction. Tearful nuns and frightened settlers fled on hastily improvised flights back to Brus…
