Innovation And Entrepreneurship

From the perspective of the transaction cost theory, this paper analyzes that the mandarin popularization in ethnic minority regions helps reduce the transaction cost, enhances trust, results in the "innovation and entrepreneurship" effect, and improves the action mechanism of the county-level innovation and entrepreneurship rate. Furthermore, based on the complete sample investigation results of rural residents within 0-3km in eight counties of Sino-Vietnam border, it constructs the quantitative model to conduct the empirical analysis of the significant positive role played by mandarin popularization in the county-level innovation and entrepreneurship in ethnic minority regions, which is that when the mandarin level is changed by 1%, the county-level innovation and entrepreneurship rate is changed by 0.397%.

Subject School provision for minority languages in Russia. Significance A reduction in access to language education in ethnic minority regions has sparked controversy, most of all in Tatarstan where it is part of a broader push to reduce local autonomy. Moscow is quietly curtailing the cultural identities of its many ethnic minorities in order to create a more homogenous and above all Russian-speaking nationhood. Impacts The emphasis on ethnic 'Russianness' in nation-building will increase. Crimea will embody the politicisation of language as local Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars find their languages out of favour. Moscow will ignore the inconsistency between its policy and its complaints about Russian rights in Latvia and Ukraine.
