Steven Cheung and Coasian Economics: A Personal Reflection
No full textAbstractIt is an intimidating challenge, both emotionally and intellectually, to write something of enough worth to celebrate the 80th birthday of Steven Cheung and to honor the memory of Professor Ronald Coase. Both are serious scholars. Coase was a devoted scholar; nothing interested him other than academics. Steve has much wider interests, ranging from photography, calligraphy, to art collection. Nonetheless, both are adamant reformers and determined to change economics. They have set an intimidating standard.</jats:p
Transaction Cost Economics and Planning: a Note on the Contribution of Steven N. S. Cheung
No full textThis paper discusses the contribution of Steven N.S. Cheung to transaction costs analysis of planning as central economic planning as well as town planning, with specific reference to the similarities and differences between his concepts and those of Hayek, Coase, North and Williamson. Examples of the application of Cheung's theories to practical issues for economic reform in ex-communist economies and for town planning are discussed
La vie des habitants de Cheung Kok sous le régime khmer rouge
No full textBased on long-term fieldwork, this paper describes the living conditions of people of Cheung Kok village in Kompong Cham province in Cambodia between 1973 and 1978. This study goes beyond the village only to mention the names of specific leaders of the commune and the district, and presents itself as an ethnographic contri bution to the study of the Khmer rouge regime. Specifically, the author considers a population of farmers who did not leave their homeland during and after the era of Democratic Kampuchea. The focus is a village which didn’t host any ‘ new people’, urban people who could not flee the country and were forced to live in rural areas by the Khmer rouge, and who, in contrast to the ‘ old people’ experienced an explicit ideological discrimination by the regime.Cet article se fonde sur une série d’enquêtes ethnographiques menées sur le long terme et pose un témoignage «idéal-typique » de ce qu’a pu être la vie des habitants du village de Cheung Kok (province de Kompong Cham au Cambodge) dans les années 1973-1978. Cette étude ne dépasse l’échelle du village que pour mentionner les noms de certains dirigeants de la commune et du district et se présente comme une contribution ethnographique au champ des recherches menées sur le régime khmer rouge. Plus précisément, elle a pour objet la population paysanne qui n’a pas quitté sa région natale pendant et après le Kampuchéa démocratique et un village qui n’a pas accueilli de membres du «peuple nouveau » — ces citadins lettrés qui n’ont pas pu fuir le Cambodge, qui ont été déportés en milieu rural et qui, à la différence des membres du «peuple ancien » , ont fait l’objet d’une aversion idéologique explicite.Prigent Steven. La vie des habitants de Cheung Kok sous le régime khmer rouge. In: Aséanie 33, 2014. pp. 43-59
Some Weighted Hardy-type Inequalities of Vector-Valued Functions
No full textBy adopting the C-technique of Cheung and Pečrić, we establish some interesting weighted Hardy-type inequalities of vector-valued functions. These generalize and improve some existing results of Cheung, Cheung-Hanjš-Pēcarić, Hanjš-Love-Pečarić, Levinson, and Pachpatte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR
Addressing Challenges for Internationalisation and Mobility in Engineering Through CDIO Standards
No full textThere is a growing need for international transparency of engineering qualifications, and mechanisms to support and facilitate student mobility. In response, there are a number of global initiatives attempting to address these needs, particularly in Europe, North America and Australia. The Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) Initiative has a set of standards, competencies, and proficiency levels developed through a global community of practice. It is a well-structured framework in which best-practice internationalisation and student mobility can be embedded. However, the current 12 CDIO Standards do not address international qualifications or student mobility. Based on an environmental scan of global activities, the underpinning principles of best practice are identified and form the basis of the proposed 13th CDIO Standard — “Internationalization and Mobility”
Designing the Future
No full textWhile there have been improvements in Australian engineering education since the 1990s, there are still strong concerns that more progress needs to be made, particularly in the areas of developing graduate competencies and in outcomes-based curricula. This paper reports on the findings from a two-day ALTC-funded forum that sought to establish a shared understanding with the 3 stakeholders (students, academics and industry) about how to achieve a design-based engineering curriculum. This paper reports on the findings from the first day’s activities and reveals that there is a shared desire for design and project-based curricula that would encourage the development of the ‘three-dimensional’ graduate: one who has technical, personal and professional and systems-thinking/design-based competence
