Abstract

Over the past four decades, China has undergone a rapid and comprehensive modernization process, transforming the country's economic, social, and cultural structures. This transformation reflects not only economic growth and technological innovation but also tensions between tradition and modernity in cultural identity. This study highlights how modernization shapes the cultural identities of China's urban youth through a qualitative approach, combining digital discourse analysis and in-depth interviews. Furthermore, it examines China's civilizational diplomacy as a global strategy that combines cultural hegemony, soft power, and epistemic challenges to the Western order. Using the A-DUNK framework, the study identifies three main findings: first, civilizational diplomacy displays a duality between inclusive dialogue and the centrality of Cynical morality; second, China's soft power is built through moral legitimacy that emphasizes historical continuity and civilizing values; and third, this diplomacy presents epistemic challenges that emphasize relationality and coexistence among civilizations. The discussion shows that China's approach aligns with civilizational pluralism, yet still faces tensions between inclusive rhetoric and asymmetrical practices. Normatively, the success of China's civilizational diplomacy hinges on its ability to institutionalize ethical reciprocity, transforming moral discourse into an inclusive procedural mechanism. This study contributes to an interdisciplinary understanding of Chinese modernization and diplomacy as phenomena that are not only geopolitical but also normative and epistemic, offering a model of "civilizational relationalism" that emphasizes the co-construction of meaning, legitimacy, and world order in the era of post-Western globalization. These findings open up opportunities for further research on cross-cultural reception, comparisons with other emerging powers, and the long-term evolution of civilizational diplomacy narratives.

Abstract

This study explores the role of education in empowering Multiculturalism is a crucial issue in the governance of pluralistic societies in Asia, where colonial legacies continue to shape post-independence state policies. Singapore serves as a significant example through its adoption of the Chinese–Malay–Indian–Others (CMIO) framework as the official model for managing diversity. Since independence, the CMIO has been institutionalized in various policy domains, particularly education, housing, and politics. While often lauded for its success in maintaining social stability and preventing ethnic conflict, the CMIO also reproduces rigid racial classifications and limits the recognition of more fluid and hybrid identities. This article aims to analyze the CMIO as a continuation of colonial epistemology in educational governance in Singapore. Using a critical-qualitative approach and a decolonial epistemological framework, specifically Aníbal Quijano's concepts of coloniality of power and Walter Mignolo's epistemic disobedience, this research examines policy documents, educational curricula, and academic literature related to multiculturalism and colonial legacies. The findings indicate that the CMIO continues to shape language policy, historical representation in the curriculum, and the distribution of educational resources through ethnic-based aid programs. While these policies contributed to increased social mobility, they simultaneously reinforced racial segmentation and epistemic violence. This study concludes that decolonizing multiculturalism in Singapore requires dismantling essentialist racial categories and opening up space for more inclusive identity narratives, particularly in education, a key arena for national identity formation.

Abstract

Urbanization in Vietnam has accelerated significantly over the past decades, transforming social and cultural dynamics in major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. This rapid urban growth has influenced the lifestyles, values, and cultural identity of Generation Z (born 1997–2012), who navigate a tension between traditional Vietnamese values and contemporary urban culture. This study aims to examine how urbanization shapes family values, urban lifestyle trends, and the role of social media in forming cultural identity among urban Vietnamese youth. A qualitative case study approach was employed, focusing on 40 respondents aged 18–26 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and social media content analysis, and then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns, relationships, and variations across the two urban contexts. Findings indicate a significant shift in family values, with 45% of respondents adopting individualistic orientations and 68% reporting decreased family involvement, while 55% continue to preserve traditional values. Urban lifestyle trends include frequent visits to cultural cafés (78%), co-living arrangements (38%), and engagement in startups (28%), reflecting collaborative and creative urban practices. Social media plays a crucial role in expressing hybrid cultural identities, with 88% of respondents following global trends, 83% watching and sharing entertainment videos, and 73% sharing cultural content. These findings highlight the complex interplay between urbanization, lifestyle, family values, and digital platforms in shaping adaptive, hybrid identities. Future research should include longitudinal studies, cross-country comparisons within Southeast Asia, and digital ethnography to examine algorithmic influences on cultural preferences, identity formation, and online community dynamics.

Abstract

In Ethiopia, women’s leadership was not constitutionally recognized under the past two regimes, and gender issues were highly marginalized. However, following the 1995 Constitution, various gender-related provisions were drafted and implemented, including the introduction of quota systems and affirmative action. Additionally, different pressure groups and advocacy organizations, such as the Ethiopian Women’s Association, Tigray Women’s League, Tigray Women’s Association, and women’s affairs offices, were established to promote women’s rights and participation. This study was conducted to examine the challenges and opportunities of women’s political leadership in the Tigray Regional State after 1995, with a focus on Tigray regional bureaus. The objectives were to assess the challenges hindering women’s participation in political leadership, investigate the government’s role in empowering women and enforcing policies in practice, examine the role of women’s organizations and associations in promoting equal political involvement, and identify opportunities to enhance women’s leadership participation. To address these objectives, a qualitative research method was employed to capture the in-depth views and experiences of participants. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions, while secondary data were drawn from regional policies and strategies. The findings reveal that, although some progress has been made, women remain underrepresented in political leadership and decision-making positions, particularly at higher levels. Their limited participation results from personal, psychological, socioeconomic, cultural, political, and structural barriers. Moreover, despite clear policy directions, gaps persist in implementation. The study recommends strengthened efforts by women’s organizations, government bodies, the regional ruling party, and other stakeholders to enhance women’s political leadership participation.

Abstract

This paper examines the persistence and transformation of the marriage plot from nineteenth-century realist fiction to twenty-first-century experimental literature. Drawing on Lauren Berlant’s concept of cruel optimism and theoretical frameworks from feminist, queer, and affect studies, the research employs a qualitative comparative method to analyze how marriage functions as both a narrative form and an emotional economy. Through close readings of George Eliot’s Middlemarch and Kate Chopin’s The Awakening alongside contemporary works such as Jenny Offill’s Dept. of Speculation, Sarah Manguso’s Liars, Sheila Heti’s Motherhood, and Miranda July’s All Fours, the study finds that contemporary “post-marriage” novels fragment and reconfigure the traditional plot to represent emotional labor, gendered fatigue, and the collapse of romantic closure. These texts inherit the structure of the classical marriage narrative only to dismantle it through recursive form and affective dissonance. The findings suggest that the marriage plot endures not because it resolves desire, but because it continues to express the contradictions of intimacy, care, and autonomy in modern life. By linking narrative structure to emotional economies, the paper contributes to ongoing debates on gendered labor and the affective afterlife of marriage in contemporary fiction.

Abstract

This study explores the continuities and discontinuities in post-apartheid parenting in South Africa, examining how colonial and apartheid legacies continue to shape family life while intersecting with contemporary social, economic, and cultural changes. Guided by postcolonial theory and a transformative paradigm, the research employed a qualitative case study design, engaging 30 participants, including young adults, parents, and professionals involved in child-rearing. Data were generated through focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, then analysed thematically to identify enduring and emergent parenting practices. Findings reveal that traditional communal values, moral instruction, and relational care rooted in Ubuntu persist alongside evolving norms shaped by children’s rights legislation, urbanization, globalization, and digital media exposure. Disciplinary practices, gender roles, and parental authority reflect both intergenerational continuities and negotiated adaptations, with tensions arising between preserving cultural norms and embracing rights-based, democratic approaches. Participants highlighted hybrid parenting strategies that blend indigenous values with contemporary developmental frameworks and emphasized the importance of schools, religious institutions, and community structures in supporting child-rearing. The study underscores the need for a uniquely South African parenting model that harmonizes Ubuntu-based principles with modern notions of child autonomy, positive discipline, and social responsibility. By documenting how history, culture, and socio-political transformation intersect in parenting, this research provides insights for policymakers, educators, and practitioners seeking to strengthen culturally grounded and contextually responsive family practices in post-apartheid South Africa.
