Linking Local and Global:A Pathway of Knowledge Cultivation for China's Global Governance Talents——A Study Based on the Practice of Cultivating Global Development Governance Talents of China Agricultural University
A major challenge facing China's cultivation of global governance talents at the knowl-edge level is how to effectively theorize and integrate the Chinese experience into global knowledge to contribute Chinese solutions to global challenges.The U.S.-originated model of global governance tal-ent cultivation,which emphasizes the development from"foreign language elite"to"regional issue ex-perts"to"global competence",takes"global knowledge"as its core element.In comparison,the Chi-nese model understands the professional knowledge of global governance talents from another perspec-tive and approach,focusing on linking local and global knowledge,which requires a deep understanding of China's development experience and an open horizon with a global vision.China Agricultural Univer-sity has explored a new model of dual-track practical education linking local and global in the past dec-ade.This model originates from the changes in China's position in global development governance ex-perienced by a group of cutting-edge development researchers from the 1980s to the early 21st century when they began to go global.It also brings about the generation of independent knowledge production and consciousness of talent training.Based on the China Agricultural University case,this paper analy-zes the"local-global"dual-track practical talent training model that runs through classroom and practi-cal learning.It pointed out that the cultivation of China's global governance talents should consist of two aspects of"Chinese practice"and"global vision"and focus on the link between local and global knowledge to explore the global South's contribution to global governance.
