大学全球合作的新模式及其影响

How Far University Global Partnerships may Facilitate a New Era of International Affairs and Foster Political and Economic Relations

随着国际事务新时代的来临,国际大学关系的新模式正在被建构起来。它既受政治和经济利益的驱动,也因为人们越来越明显地感到对科学的资助已为社会带来各种潜在的收益。本文认为新的国际大学关系起着变革行动者的作用,由此对大学-政府-产业的关系做了新的阐述。新的关系使得大学的活动在根本上已与传统大学的角色不同,在很多时候与能力建设有关,它也要求我们对不再单纯是"学术服务"进出口的大学国际合作的性质有新的理解。新的关系显然打破了"国家体系"的传统界限,这对需要保护和培育的伙伴大学的整合也带来新的挑战。`

A new paradigm of structured international university relationships is emerging as shaped by a new era of international affairs.It is driven by political and economic interests,but also by an increased perception of the growing perceived evidence of the potential benefits resulting from the economic appropriation of the results and methods of science by society.This paper argues that those Relationships act as agents of change and a new narrative in university-government-industry relationships. They consider activities that are fundamentally different from the traditional role of universities,involving, most of the times,capacity building.They also require understanding the nature of international cooperation beyond the exporting/importing of"academic services"In all the institutions involved.In addition, they clearly break traditional boundaries of"national systems"and bring new challenges in terms of the necessary institutional integrity the partnering universities need to preserve and foster.
