20年来俄罗斯国家转型进程分析

俄罗斯不同时期有其不同的转型任务与力求达到的目标：解决制度变迁与确立市场经济体制框架问题;普京执政时期通过实行修补与整治等政策,使三权分立的宪政制度完善,使混乱无序的市场转向有序;梅普组合后俄罗斯向国家现代化方向转型。俄罗斯经济发展前景在很大程度上取决于国家现代化的进程。     

Rational Choice and the Gender Gap in Crime: Establishing the Generality of Rational Choice Theory in Russia and Ukraine

Abstract

Using data elicited from a random sample of 1435 adults residing in Lviv, Ukraine, and Nizhni Novgorod, Russia, this study tests rational choice theory (RCT) across gender groups. It seeks to determine whether men and women have different perceptions of sanction risk and crime rewards, whether the formation of these perceptions is gender-specific, and whether RCT predicts criminal behavior equally for men and women. Results suggest that, for both genders, perceptions of crime rewards appear more important than sanction threats. Furthermore, perceived rewards of crime, but not sanction threats, partially explain associations between offending and personal and vicarious experiences with crime. Finally, the performance of RCT is consistent, but not identical, in explaining crime by men and women. The gender gap in offending appears to reflect differences between men and women in levels of perceived rewards, most likely acquired through direct and vicarious experiences with crime as well as through gender-variant emotional bonds.     

Unthawed: post-Cold War economic ties between Kaliningrad and Europe

ABSTRACT

Kaliningrad’s post-Soviet economic interconnection with Europe is encountering obstacles due to specific Russian governmental idiosyncrasies as well as its particular regional challenges. In essence, the Kremlin’s direct control from afar and European misgivings have influenced the territory’s economic development in relation to Europe. The distance of the region from Russia, exclave status, large size for an exclave, and conflicted history subject the area to contradictory forces. On the one hand, it links Kaliningrad to Europe because of a shared history and geography. On the other, it promotes a sense of political instability and geographical isolation that discourages economic integration with Europe.     

伊藤博文与日英同盟

缔结日英同盟是近代日本外交史上的一个重大事件，当时伊藤博文是元老中的主导者，在外交事务上拥有极大的发言权。伊藤博文对日英同盟采取了怎样的态度、在同盟交涉中起了什么样的作用，对此史学界是众说纷纭。本文主要利用日英同盟的提出及交涉期间，伊藤与首相桂太郎、外相小村寿太郎、元老井上馨、驻英国公使林董等之间的信息交流资料，来探讨一下伊藤的态度及其在整个过程中所起的作用。伊藤博文不反对日英同盟，但主张先进行日俄协商，协商结束后再推进日英同盟。而桂太郎内阁则趁伊藤出访海外之机，全力推进缔结同盟，事实上将伊藤置于决策之外，使其处于被知会者地位，打破了长期以来伊藤博文、井上馨等对日本外交的垄断局面。     

俄罗斯弥赛亚意识的结构及其流变

弥赛亚意识是俄罗斯民族思想的主旋律之一,它具有深厚的宗教基础、充分的哲学阐释、极至的文学体现、有效的经济保证和强大的政治依托.在宗教层面,俄罗斯曾自诩是正宗基督教的继承人和拯救者;在精神层面,俄罗斯相信其民族的文化思想是拯救世界的精神武器;在政治层面,俄罗斯曾试图解放全人类;基辅罗斯、鞑靼罗斯、莫斯科罗斯、彼得堡俄罗斯、苏联以及后苏联时期分别彰显出不同的层面和特点.     

俄罗斯的防救灾体系

作为世界上灾害事故频发的国家之一,俄罗斯对于本国的灾害响应工作十分重视。俄罗斯不断加强俄罗斯联邦紧急状态预防和响应统一国家体系(UEPRSS)和俄联邦民防、应急与减灾部(EMERCOM)的发展整合,规范应急响应的制度和程序,努力打造及时、正确的灾害管理体系。     

俄国现代主义小说的流变

俄国现代主义小说随着俄国现代主义文学思潮兴起于白银时代,成果显著,甚至像高尔基这样的现实主义作家的某些作品也具有现代主义因素.20世纪30至50年代初,现代主义小说的发展受到阻遏,但仍有一些作家写出了现代主义杰作.从60年代末期起,现代主义小说再度出现,同时后现代主义小说也接踵而来,成为现代主义小说在上世纪晚期俄罗斯文学中的变体.     

论普京的“可控民主”治国模式

“可控民主”是俄罗斯在经历了10多年痛苦的转轨进程后确立的治国模式,它不是普京个人意志的显现,而是符合俄罗斯历史、国情、民意的现实选择。俄罗斯的政治发展道路将因“可控民主”而打上自己特殊的历史印记。目前,“可控民主”是与俄罗斯转型时期经济社会发展相适应的政治结构模式。但由于自身内在矛盾的掣肘,“可控民主”也面临着诸多的挑战。从长远看,发展民主政治是其必然趋向。
