英国研究中心系列讲座第67讲
英国是第一个工业国家，也是一个欧洲边缘区域的海岛型国家。因此，研究英国的发展历史，如果离开了海洋这一视角，对其的发展理解就会较为单一和狭窄。然而，如果加入海洋这一背景因素，那么，同样的历史发展过程，或许就能让我们体会到一种不同的梳理框架所带给我们更为广阔的视野。在中国今天努力成为一个真正意义上的海洋大国时，从海洋的角度考察英国发展的很多特点，无疑具有十分重要的意义。

英国脱欧和特朗普当选是2016年国际社会中发生的影响深远的大事。英国脱欧公投是政治家不负责任的选项，是民主原教旨主义的产物；特朗普当选则涉及到全球化的利益重组、国际重组与国内重组等问题，这是一场草根与精英的对决。本次讲座将从欧盟视角、从世界历史角度反思英国脱欧事件，探究特朗普当选的实质，并着重分析当前中国的周边环境、国际局势和中国的定力。

国际组织研究从最初的国家投票行为研究逐步转向对组织和机制（国际制度）能否以及如何促进国际合作的理论和实证研究。就后一项研究议程而言，理性选择制度主义和社会学制度主义是其主要研究路径。近年来，国际组织中的政治和国际组织（国际制度）间的政治（合作与竞争）受到较多关注，成为这一研究领域的前沿问题。本次讲座将在梳理既有重要文献的基础上，讨论如何从组织中政治和组织间政治的视角推进国际组织研究。

主讲人：Professor Dharm P. S. Bhawuk (University of Hawaii, SISU “High-End International Talent Team” Project Leader)
主持人：Steve J. Kulich （顾力行）教授

As part of the SISU Intercultural Institute’s (SII) national Foreign Expert Bureau funded High-End Team (Gaoduan Waiguo Zhuanjia) Project, Professor Dharm Bhawuk has once again returned to campus December 21-31 to give lectures, consult on research projects, advise doctoral and MA students and continue to help train our faculty and students in cross-cultural research design and operationalization.

This Saturday, he will help host a “Research in Progress” Forum, along with Profs. Steve J. Kulich and Zhang Hongling and other IC Faculty Members. The Forum will commence at 8:00 in the Library 604 Seminar Room and will include several official PhD Thesis Proposal Defenses (Boshi Lunwen Kaiti Baogao), and an MA Thesis Defense in the morning, followed by an afternoon of Research reports and mock-defenses. Prof. Bhawuk and the faculty team will respond to each student presentation, raise important points of concern or interest regarding research design and implementation, and discuss issues related to improving cross-cultural research processes and procedures. Those working on cross- or intercultural research papers are welcome to attend.

Overview of the “Research in Progress” Forum:
(1) 8:00 Forum Launch: Prof. Dharm Bhawuk and Steve Kulich opening remarks
(2) MORNING 8:15-12:00 Official Thesis Proposal and Defence Procedures
2 PhD candidates will present their research proposals (Kaiti Baogao, each 1 hour)
1 MA candidate will present her Thesis Defense (Lunwen Dabian)

(3) AFTERNOON: 1:00-3:40 Practice “Research Reports” Workshop
Professors Bhawuk, Zhang Hongling, Wang Yi’an, Alex English and others will preside over several PhD Research Reports or MA Mock Proposals including group discussion
(4) 3:40-4:00 Forum Closing: Remarks and Recommendations: Prof. Bhawuk

This talk will first introduce the concept of soft power, how it has been embraced by politicians and academics around the world, and the debates around it. It then goes on to examine China’s (cultural) soft power, its practice, its reception,opportunities and challenges. By introducing the various debates around the concept and by giving examples for illustrating the speakers’ argument, the talk aims to advance listeners’ knowledge of the concept at both the theoretical and empirical levels.

Inefficiencies associated with online information search are becoming increasingly prevalent in digital environments due to a surge in Consumer Generated Content (CGC). Despite growing scholarly interest in investigating users’ information search behavior in CGC environments, there is a paucity of studies that explores the phenomenon from a theory-guided angle. Drawing on Information Foraging Theory (IFT), we re-conceptualize online information search as a form of adaptive user behavior in response to system design constraints. Through this theoretical lens, we advanced separate taxonomies for online information search tactics and strategies, both of which constitute essential building blocks of the search process. Furthermore, we construct a research framework that bridges the gap between online information search tactics and strategies by articulating how technology-enabled search tactics contribute to the fulfillment of strategic search goals. Subsequently, our research framework was validated via an online experiment in which Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) participants were recruited and tasked to perform searches on custom-made online review websites, which are modeled after their actual counterpart and populated with real review data of restaurants. Empirical findings reveal that the provision of different search features engenders distinct search tactics, thereby exposing users to varying levels of search determination control and search manipulation control. In turn, both types of search controls affects users’ result anticipation and search costs, which when combined, determine the efficiency of goal-oriented search strategy and the utility of exploratory search strategy.

Impulse buying is rapidly becoming the predominant engine for revenue generation in digital environments due to the emerging technological capabilities in tailoring persuasive messages to match the specific context in which a consumer is situated at any given moment. Yet, despite a long history of research into impulsive buying, there is neither a strong theoretical framework to explain how impulse buying behavior manifests nor is there ample consideration being accorded to the role of technology in driving such behavior. To this end, we build on the Self-Regulation Theory (SRT) to advance a Theory of Technology-Driven Impulse Buying that posits how technological stimuli in the form of contextualized triggers and transaction support can inspire impulse buying behavior. The model was subsequently validated in the context of in-app purchase by surveying existing users of mobile applications. Based on our data analysis, a majority of hypothesized relationships were corroborated by the empirical evidence, thereby lending credibility to the applicability of our proposed theory in eliciting salient technological drivers of impulse buying within digital environments.
