台前与幕后:一起清代命案的真相

近年来,中国法律史研究者对清代司法档案信崇有加,部分学者甚至对司法档案进行形式主义的表层解读。事实上,司法档案当中存在制作乃至虚构的成分。以清代同治十三年广东罗定州发生的"梁宽杀妻案"为例,通过对照分析以广东巡抚张兆栋和刑部尚书崇实名义所作的一份刑科题本与本案初审官员杜凤治所写的相关日记,可以发现,与日记相比,刑科题本中存在比较明显的虚构。这一发现,旨在提醒中国法律史研究者在研究司法档案时,必须保持应有的批判态度,留意其中可能存在的制作或虚构。

A parody of the work of the Air Commission of the World Disarmament Conference of 1932-34 reveals the cynicism and boredom, as well as the personality, of the officials in the British delegation.

Bush Administration Has Its Biggest Diplomatic Legacy in Its Relations with China

An emerging China is embarking on the road of peaceful development. The statesmen and strategists in Washington have always felt anxious that late-coming powers might challenge the existing hegemony out of their discontent with the status quo. This was one of the reasons why America took China as a strategic rival at the early stage of the Bush presidency. But after the 9/11 incident, or even as early as in July that year when Secretary of State Collin Powell visited China, there was a major readjustment in American policy toward China. Both governments took cooperation as their important policy orientation.     

The anatomy of conflict and the politics of identity in two cooperative salmon management regimes

Last in a gauntlet of fisheries, indigenous fisheries were often curtailed due to concerns over the conservation of the salmon run. Cooperative management institutions have emerged recently as alternative management structures, often intended to empower marginalized groups and to distribute decision-making authority. Two case studies are examined where cooperative management approaches have emerged. One considers the tribes of the Puget Sound region in Washington, the other the Native Alaskans in the Kuskokwim River drainage. In both cases, resource-based conflicts provided the impetus for the emergence of cooperative management. However, these regimes have not eliminated conflicts nor have they necessarily reduced their frequency. The results of a comparative analysis of the two case studies indicate that management institutions can be structured to facilitate the emergence of cooperation and to make conflicts more amenable to resolution.
