The role of the pristavstvo institution in the context of Russian imperial policies in the Kazakh Steppe in the nineteenth century

The institution of pristavstvo was introduced in the Kazakh Steppe in the first decade of the nineteenth century. This institution had different meanings and functions, from an individually held position (e.g., a pristav to the khān of the Junior Horde in 1820; the pristavs who accompanied the Kazakh delegation to Saint Petersburg in the first half of the nineteenth century) to an administrative-territorial structure (e.g., the pristavstvo of the Senior Horde; the Mangyshlak and Zaisan pristavstvos). Though the political structure of the Russian empire had included institutions analogous to the pristavstvo, it was not a conventional component of the Russian administrative system. Studying the features of the pristavstvo institution in the territory of Kazakhstan and analysing the transformation of the pristav's function provide new insights on how the multi-ethnic Russian empire was managed. They will also help scholars to better understand the forms and methods the Russian authorities employed to manage their nomadic populations.     

筚路蓝缕,以启山林--《20世纪美国文官制度与官僚政治》评介

自2 0世纪以来,美国文官制度和官僚政治就已经成为美国学术界的一个关注点,并且出现了许多学术论文和专著。我国学术界对这一问题的研究起步较晚,直到2 0世纪80年代以后,尤其是1982年我国政府提出用人体制改革和建立公务员制度以后,我国学术界才开始对这一领域着手进行研究。东北师范大学历史系石庆环教授早在2 0世纪80年代开始对美国文官制度和官僚政治进行研究,曾在《世界历史》、《美国研究》等刊物上发表论文2 0多篇。1997- 1998年间,她曾作为美国基督教亚洲联合会董事会项目研究学者,2 0 0 1- 2 0 0 2年间又作为美国富布赖特高级访问学…     

The other 'awakening' in Iraq: The women's movement in the first half of the twentieth century

The history of the women's movement in Iraq, during the first half of the twentieth century, has received little attention in scholarly work. This essay enlarges upon the topic using common features characteristic of more central women's movements in the Middle East. The emergence of intellectual debate on women's status, establishment of a myriad of women's organizations, evolution of a women's press, women's participation in the nationalist struggle, the adoption of nationalism as a liberating discourse and development of pan-Arab feminism, are shared characteristics which shed light on developments that occurred in Iraq. The essay suggests that the study of seemingly peripheral movements not only confirms similar patterns of development within the region but might also reveal new insights that transcend regional boundaries.
