中菲“美济礁”争端

“美济礁”问题是中国和菲律宾两国关系中最为敏感的因素 ,今年 5月 2 5日菲律宾军舰在美济礁附近海域撞沉中国渔船以后 ,两国关系骤然紧张。本文通过大量的事实 ,论述以下几方面的问题 :1.菲律宾对美济礁提出领土要求的过程 ;2 .从国际法的角度阐述美济礁主权归属我国是不容置疑的事实 ;3 .分析菲律宾在美济礁争端上所采用的外交策略 ;4 .中菲两国对美济礁问题的态度。在这些事实的基础上 ,笔者认为菲律宾政府在美济礁问题上挑起事端是一种缺乏远见的行为 ,只有维护美济礁及其附近海域的稳定才符合中菲两国的长远利益。

State terror in the Philippines: the Alston Report,human rights and counter-insurgency under the Arroyo administration

The human rights agenda of the United Nations has faltered over recent years. An examination of conditions in a country such as the Philippines highlights some of the reasons. The appallingly high number of political killings in that country was investigated by Philip Alston, UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, early in 2007. Following a well-defined process of review, he spent a short but difficult time examining the situation. His report condemned repressive elements of the Philippine state and directed specific criticisms at the armed forces, noting the omnipresent role of counter-insurgency. He found that a culture of impunity prevailed within the military and that the Arroyo administration had not done enough to address the problem or to protect the rights of its citizens. Alston's visit provided an insight into both the Philippine government's inadequate human rights record and the failure of UN mechanisms established to redress such poor performance.

Why the Philippines Chooses to Import Rice

Embedded in the debate in the Philippines over food security and food sovereignty are three conventional reasons why the country is a longstanding rice importer: geography, exploitative international policy pressure predicated on the dictates of neoliberalism, and colonial history. This paper argues that these conventional reasons share two limitations. First, they attribute mono-causal reasons for perennial rice imports, either in the form of geography, exogenous power, or history. While these perspectives are not wrong, each on its own is inadequate. Multiple, contributing factors have and will continue to abound. Second, each of these arguments limits Filipinos' agency. Through a four-part argument, I show how Filipinos have had more say in the reasons for serial rice imports than these conventional accounts allow.     

试析菲律宾和新加坡的“多官方语言”现象及语言政策

菲律宾和新加坡历史上曾经分别是美、英两国的殖民地,所以英语在这两个国家得到了一定的发展与传播。美、英的殖民统治结束后,因为各种原因,英语在菲律宾和新加坡的政府机关和上层社会仍然被继续使用。目前在宪法中明确规定使用英语和民族共同语作为官方语言的东南亚国家只有菲律宾和新加坡。本文分析菲律宾和新加坡的“多官方语言”的现象,并解释了造成其语言现状的历史原因,比较了其语言政策的相同之处。     

Street Foods: Traditional Microenterprise in a Modernizing World

Action-research projects focused on poor women both collect information and design interventions to improve their livelihood. This approach is illustrated by studying street food vendors in Iloilo, Philippines. Findings document the importance of street foods as a source of income and of food. Interventions to improve both safe food handling and income were proposed and tested in Iloilo and Manila; a revisit after a decade shows their long-term impact on the vendors. Overall, this and six other studies comprising the street food project influenced policy changes by municipal, national, and international agencies and organizations. The conclusions challenge theoretical assumptions held by economists concerning the informal sector and by feminists regarding the family.     

艾滋病立法与国际人权保障

国际社会已经达成共识,认为有效地控制艾滋病与人权保障之间存在着密切关系,而法律则是实现防治艾滋病的一个重要手段。因此,现实和未来都要求各国通过以保障人权为核心的相关立法,充分保护艾滋病病人和艾滋病病毒感染者的各项基本权利,切实调动社会各方面的积极因素来战胜艾滋病,最终维护人类的共同利益,实现社会的可持续发展。对此,在国际人权法的框架下,结合艾滋病的流行特点,国际社会和许多国家近年来制订了不少准则和法律,以阻止艾滋病的进一步传播。
