Beyond Rainforests: Urbanisation and Emigration among Lowland Indigenous Societies in Latin America

Indigenous societies across lowland Latin America have recently made impressive political and territorial gains by emphasising their stewardship of and attachment to particular rural landscapes. But surprising new censal and microdemographic evidence shows that these groups have simultaneously been developing a presence in domestic and foreign metropolises. Cities offer employment and advanced education opportunities as well as escape from rural conflicts. We suggest that the dynamics and outcomes of these migrations are distinct from those of other rural Latin Americans. By outlining specific areas in which migration, politics, and territory appear to be interlinked, we seek to stimulate research that engages with these processes and their implications for indigenous advocacy and migration theory.     

Adaptation and Appropriation on the Colonial Frontier: Indigenous Leadership in the Colombian Chocó, 1670–1808

This article explores the consequences for the native population of the Colombian Chocó of the emergence, over the course of the eighteenth century, of an elite of caciques and indios mandones or principales whose functions of powers far exceeded those of the warrior chiefs that had traditionally acted as leaders of their people. Appointed for the purpose of facilitating the collection of tribute and the supply of labour to European settlers, caciques and mandones were almost universally rejected by native communities during the early phases of Spanish colonisation (c. 1630–1690), and they disappear from the historical record after Independence. Eighteenth‐century sources, however, not only record the existence of a clearly defined elite of mandones or principales in villages across the region, but show these individuals engaging actively with the colonial authorities, on behalf of their communities, at local and audiencia levels. This article argues that, at a time of a much strengthened European presence in the region, caciques and mandones came to understand their roles in ways that were entirely different from those intended by the Spanish, and in so doing acquired the legitimacy that had eluded their seventeenth‐century predecessors. Far from serving merely as intermediaries between settlers and indigenous populations, indios mandones acted as negotiators on behalf of the indigenous population, whose task was to defend and/or advance the interests of the communities they had been appointed to control.

蒋介石儒化三民主义之评析

独揽孙中山三民主义解释权之后 ,蒋介石获得了统摄全党思想的合法性 ,为走上个人独裁道路 ,从理念上打开了一扇大门。蒋介石对三民主义解释的实质 ,是儒化三民主义。他将孙中山描述为中国儒家伦理道德的集大成者 ,将儒家伦理道德与三民主义融为一体 ,使之成为孙中山三民主义的“精髓” ,进而在全国范围掀起思想文化上的尊孔复古。在这一过程中 ,蒋介石还充分利用了戴季陶主义。随着三民主义被儒化 ,其原有的民族民主革命与现代化之精神也逐渐消解与湮没。

应然与实然——刑事被追诉人知情权的现状评析及其扩展

刑事被追诉人(即犯罪嫌疑人、被告人)知情权(或称知悉权)是伴随程序主体地位的确立而提出来的.现代刑事诉讼理念要求在诉讼构造的设计方面,努力追求控辩双方的平等对抗.结合我国的刑事司法实践,就需要强化被追诉人的防御权体系,以追求攻防的相对均衡,而知情权则是这一防御权体系的前提和基础.我国现行的刑事诉讼法关于被追诉人知情权的规定尚存不足,需要强化并改进.对被追诉人知情权的探讨离不开对现有法律规定的分析,需要从实然与应然的角度做出评析,不仅要明确知情权,而且还要保障知情权的实现.     

人民调解制度的创新与发展

进入21世纪以后,我国人民调解无论在立法上,还是在实务中,都出现了比较大的创新,人民调解组织不再局限于村委会和居委会的人民调解委员会;人民调解员不再局限于村民委员会成员、居民委员会成员及群众选举产生的公民;人民调解协议具有合同效力;人民调解与诉讼（司法）实现了有效衔接与对接。在调解全球化的趋势下,要保持我国人民调解的活力,并发挥更大的作用,有必要进一步明确人民调解在我国纠纷解决体系中的地位,更好地处理好人民调解与诉讼的关系,深刻把握人民调解的正当性基础,严格规范人民调解员的行为。     

理念之契合：论透明度原则与我国警务公开制度

透明度原则作为WTO首先提出的一项基本原则,它以改善各成员方贸易政策的透明度,提高贸易政策的稳定性与可预测性,避免、减少各成员方之间贸易磨擦的发生为目标。警务公开是政府信息公开在特殊政府机构即公安机关的具体化。从一定角度来看,透明度原则与我国警务公开制度统一于前者所体现出来的公正、公开（透明）、效率等理念和精神的价值取向上。这些理念所承载的警务公开制度同时也是立警为公、执法为民这一制度保障的基础。     

协动主义：诉讼与诉讼外纠纷解决机制关系定位——基于人民调解的制度规范与地方实践的分析

关于人民调解的规范文件贯彻了司法最终救济的理念,但由于各地方纠纷解决需要的差异,实践中形成的不同的诉讼外纠纷解决机制,模糊了诉讼与诉讼外纠纷解决机制的关系。构建一个功能互补的纠纷解决的生态系统,必须在确立司法权威的同时,按照解纷合意获得的不同样式,确定诉讼外纠纷解决机制与诉讼的程序协动关系。     

俄罗斯国防工业“寓军于民”实践及对我国的启示

俄罗斯国防科技工业大力推行"军转民"政策,组建国防工业大型企业集团。并在许多领域,特别是在电子技术和信息技术领域都采取了许多有效的措施。同时强调在首先满足国防需求的前提下,建立军民融合的工业体系,军民融合建设已取得初步成效。俄罗斯国防工业"寓军于民"的实践,对探讨我国国防工业"寓军于民"具有一定的启示。
