UNGPs 10+/ Next Decade BHR project Please include links to relevant publications and materials, wherever relevant 1. Where has progress taken place in UNGPs implementation over the course of the last decade? What are the promising developments and practices (by governments, businesses, international organizations, civil society organizations, etc.) that can be built on? UNGP makes more and more countries have formulated national action plans on business and human rights. The amount and quality of the guidance developed by NHRIs, CSOs and other NGOs, including those representing business circles contributed to the states in their NAPs developing efforts. It takes the human rights issue from the moral field to the legal field. Many companies have developed their own human rights policies. Following the exemplary role of some big companies, for example, Unilever and Coca-Cola, more and more companies are inclined to follow the existing models and give more or less some consideration to the human rights issue. By 2019, more than 200 companies on the Fortune Global 500 list had developed and published a corporate human rights policy. 2. Where do gaps and challenges remain? What has not worked to date? As a soft law, UNGPs execution is still insufficient. They do not create new international legal obligations for companies that can be enforced, and are not accompanied by a grievance or complaints mechanism that victims of business-related human rights abuses can access for remedy. Furthermore, the Guiding Principles are weak with regards to developing duties for individual states to regulate the human rights impacts of business enterprises beyond national borders (i.e. extra-territorial obligations), even though this principle is internationally recognized in other areas. I think Pillar 3 is still not work to date. It is true that specific regulations and ordinances are made by the states, and companies are taking actions such as making human rights policy, but the actual effective grievance mechanisms in practice have still not worked to date. 3. What are key obstacles (both visible and hidden), drivers, and priorities that need to be addressed to achieve fuller realization of the UNGPs? The main contradiction is human rights protection and economic development. At present, the rules of knowledge in various countries are relatively rough. The government needs to play its role, develop more detailed guidelines. States need to transform the model of after-event relief into pre-event prevention. Because the compensation amount is actually not high, this makes the company willing to take risks. 4. What systemic or structural challenges need to be tackled to realize sustainable development based on respect for human rights? While attracting foreign investment, protect human rights in the country to achieve sustainable development. Nowadays, development is still taken as priority even at the expenses of violating fundamental human rights. The reason for this phenomenon is that different regions have different human rights standards. If the national standard is lower than the international standard, companies tend to violate human rights. Different states should strive to adopt international standards, rather than violate human rights to develop the economy. Under the same standard, the company will fulfill its commitment. 5. In concrete terms, what will be needed in order to achieve meaningful progress with regard to those obstacles and priority areas? What are actionable and measurable targets for key actors in terms of meeting the UNGPs’ expectations over the coming years? NGO need to strengthen supervision of enterprises and the country concerning human rights. They can publish a report about company human rights policy, and make their own assignment. Protect company’s brand and reputation is a big driver for a company’s commitment. It is should be a mandatory requirement for company to make a report on human rights. Government should take consider from 2 report from NGO and company to provide incentives based on human

  • Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society
    Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society by Wei Huang B. A., Huaqiao University, 2013 Extended Essays Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication (Dual Degree in Global Communication) Faculty of Communication, Art & Technology © Wei Huang 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2015 Approval Name: Wei Huang Degree: Master of Arts (Communication) Title: Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society Examining Committee: Program Director: Yuezhi Zhao Professor Frederik Lesage Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Baohua Wang Supervisor Professor School of Communication Communication University of China Date Defended/Approved: August 31, 2015 ii Abstract Meritocracy refers to the idea that whatever our social position at birth, society should offer the means for those with the right “talent” to “rise to top.” In context of celebrity culture, it could refer to the idea that society should allow all of us to have an equal chance to become celebrities. This article argues that as a result of globalization and consumerism in the post-reform market economy, the genre of music-based TV talent shows has become one of the most popular TV genres in China and has at the same time become a vehicle of a neoliberal meritocratic ideology. The rise of the ideology of meritocracy accompanied the pace of market reform in post-1980s China and is influenced by the loss of social safety nets during China’s transition from a socialist to a market economy.

  • Persistent Political Engagement: Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements
    Persistent Political Engagement: Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements Leonardo Bursztyn Davide Cantoni David Y. Yang Noam Yuchtman Y. Jane Zhang* June 2019 Abstract We test whether participation in one protest within a political movement increases subsequent protest attendance, and why. To identify an effect of protest participation, we randomly, in- directly incentivize Hong Kong university students into participation in an antiauthoritarian protest. To identify the effects of social interactions, we randomize the intensity of this treat- ment across major-cohort cells. We find that experimentally-induced protest participation is significantly associated with protest attendance one year later, though political beliefs and preferences are unaffected. Persistent political engagement is greatest among individuals in the cells with highest treatment intensity, suggesting that social interactions sustained persis- tent political engagement.
