On Allocation,Distribution,Formation Mechanism,and Mechanism Optimization of China's Academic Degree Authorization Units
With the polarization and the Theil indexes,this paper analyzes the spatial distribution pattern of the academic degree authorization units in China.The outcomes show that the overall spatial distribution pattern of the academic degree authorization units presents a"pyramid"form featuring"stair-step decrease from east to west".In terms of regional distribution,a polarization phenomenon appears obviously;In terms of intra-regional distribution,the pattern features"one core and multiple points".Furthermore,with the cyclic cumulative causation theory,this paper analyzes the formation mechanism of the spatial distribution pattern of the academic degree authorization units from three dimensions of the national logic,market logic and university logic.Therefore,this paper suggests that to optimize the distribution pattern of degree authorization units and the higher education ecology,we should build a"two-wheel drive"examination and approval mechanism with more attention to academic qualification and regional demand,build a multi-component collaboration and interaction mechanism with more attention to"entity collaboration and resource integration,and build a dynamic adjustment mechanism with which the degree authorization can be granted to or removed from an entity in accordance with the development potential and development effect of the entity.
