和平发展时期“两岸政治关系”理论内涵与实践路径探讨

和平发展时期“两岸政治关系”理论内涵包括两岸之间政治对立、政治互动、政治互信、政治定位与政治合作等，这五方面关系总体上是逐步递进关系，如在存在政治对立情况下开启政治互动，通过政治互动增进政治互信，并在此基础上面对与处理政治定位，最后开启政治合作；同时这五方面也存在彼此促进、互为条件关系，如在政治互信基础上开展良性政治互动，反过来会增进政治互信；如果政治定位能得到妥善处理，政治互动会更顺畅，政治互信会更强化，政治合作也能深入开展。“合情合理安排”“两岸政治关系”路径包括双方协商、平等协商、务实协商与公权力协商。     

两岸军事安全互信机制构建问题的研究视角选择

建立两岸军事安全互信机制,是构建两岸关系和平发展框架具有战略意义的重要一环。2005年4月,国共两党领导人共同发布“两岸和平发展共同愿景”,提出“促进正式结束两岸敌对状态,达成和平协议,建构两岸关系和平稳定发展的架构,包括建立军事互信机制,避免两岸军事冲突”;     

全球治理的困境与欧盟的反恐模式

恐怖主义被视为非正式暴力的全球化,暴露出国际秩序在不对称威胁下的脆弱性。“9·11”事件后,国际反恐合作面临机制欠缺、互信危机与行动悖论三大瓶颈,致使全球治理陷入困境。而在区域层面上,欧盟以反恐为契机深化成员国的安全合作,主要通过多边协作加强治理,通过接触化解敌意,通过发展经济切断恐怖主义的根源,形成了一种行之有效的反恐模式。     

中日军事安全互信亟待提升

长期以来,舆论界对中日关系的政治、经贸和文化等层面给予高度关注,而对两国在军事和安全领域的互信与合作颇有忽视。其实,后者在两国关系框架结构中的重要性绝对不可小视;对中国而言,来自日本的各种威胁认知中,军事无疑是首当其冲,因为所有两国间的历史伤痛都与军事直接关联;对日本来说,其争取“正常国家”、迈入“政治大国”的所有努力中,通过修改和平宪法等方式而在军事上突破战后体制限制,既是其计划步骤的“硬核”部分,又是其多年试探、触碰并亟待最后突破的战略“红线”。     

俄罗斯学者关于"中国移民"问题的讨论

20世纪90年代以来,随着中俄经贸合作的开展及人员往来的增加,“中国移民”问题成为俄有关各界讨论的热点。其中学者的观点尤为引人注目。现将有关观点综述如下。俄媒体围绕“中国移民”问题进行的反华宣传从1992年年中起,俄罗斯报界开始频繁刊登所谓中国向俄远东地区进行“扩张”的文章,并在90年代上半期围绕“中国移民”问题形成了一场影响颇大的反华宣传运动。参与其中的有中央级报纸及西伯利亚的部分报刊。所刊文章从标题和语气看,具有强烈的反华倾向,在内容上,主要是对在俄华人的数量及华人的存在给俄带来的“危害”进行夸大、渲染。这…     

影响两岸关系的非传统安全因素分析

随着两岸关系的改善和台湾当局大陆政策的开放,两岸民间交流加速发展,两岸关系进入了一个“大交流、大合作、大发展”的新阶段。由于两岸政治互信的建立与巩固,传统安全因素即政治与军事对于两岸关系的威胁逐渐淡化,但是非传统安全因素如跨境犯罪、传染疫病、重大事故、恐怖主义等对于两岸关系的影响上升。两岸应当建立相关制度,加强合作,强化突发事件的危机管理和控制能力,优先解决和防范非传统安全因素对两岸关系的重大冲击和损害。     

军事对抗与两岸军事安全互信机制未来前景

本文在阐述军事对抗与军事安全互信机制辩证关系的基础上,提出一种有益于建立军事安全互信机制、创造台海永久和平的新型军事安全战略。这种新型军事安全战略的基本特征是：把维护两岸关系和平发展作为根本目标,既关注如何赢得战争,也关注如何通过战争赢得和平,还关注如何防止已经建立起来的和平转化为新的战争。以此为标准检视台海各方军事安全战略可以看到：中国大陆军事安全战略实现了战略与政略的高度结合,为军事服从政治、服务两岸关系和平发展提供了无限可能;台湾、美国坚持“只经不政”、“和而不解”,使其“和平愿望”难以贯彻到军事安全战略层面,是阻碍两岸军事安全互信机制建立的根本原因。     

国家安全·社会认同·个人自由——“9·11”事件后美国社会政治领域中的移民问题

“9·11”事件在美国社会政治领域的影响全面而深刻,移民问题则集中反映了这种影响。恐怖主义袭击事件发生后,移民问题急剧上升到国家安全的高度,并与美国国内种族关系上的张力以及各种族裔文化特性上的歧异和冲突结合在一起,弥散于美国社会政治领域的各个方面。本文通过审视美国在国家安全、社会认同、个人自由三个层面上对移民问题的态度和行动,试图揭示“9·11”事件后美国社会政治领域的矛盾和紧张状态。而重新达致各个层面的平衡,则是美国当下在政治、社会和安全领域所面临的重大挑战和紧迫任务。     

增进一中框架共同认知 巩固深化政治互信基础

两岸关系发展的历史经验反复证明,巩固与扩大政治认同与互信基础,是两岸关系和平、稳定与发展的根本保证与前提。海峡两岸应戮力同心,“增进维护一个中国框架的共同认知”不断凝聚两岸同属一个中国的共同认知,巩固深化政治互信基础,维护与发展两岸关系得来不易的大好局面。     

日据时期台湾移民问题初探

数百年来，台湾历史与移民问题始终有着密不可分的联系。早期台湾自不必说，这个美丽的岛屿就是依靠来自大陆闽粤地区的移民与原住民一同开发起来的。日据时期，台湾的殖民地地位及殖民当局实施“将台湾拉开中国而与日本相结合”的两岸隔离政策，使得台湾的移民问题出现了新的时代特征：即从历史上自西往东的单向度移民，朝着多维方向移民的态势发展，且随着日本在台殖民统治的终结，移民群体又各归原位，终点重回起点。本文拟就此台湾移民史上的特殊一页进行初步探索。     

Trends in Governance in Further Education

Abstract

The governance of further education colleges has two main phases since the passing of the Education Act 1944 – the period when further education colleges were under local authority control and the period from ‘vesting day’ on 1 April 1993 when colleges became incorporated and further education corporations were formed as charities. This review is primarily concerned with the landscape of college governance since 1 April 1993 and draws upon some of the very limited number of research studies into the practice of further education governance. The experience and contribution of the key governance players – chair of the corporation, governors, the principal, the senior staff, the clerk to the corporation – are discussed. Throughout the period since 1993, college governance has operated within a policy framework provided by government and, to a greater or lesser extent, the implementation of those policies by agencies of government. In simple terms, the pattern may seem to be creativity (in the early years), compliance (following some high profile college governance collapses), micro-management (through the Learning and Skills Council years) and now the most open, imaginative phase as the current government encourages the strong colleges to play a bigger part in local education provision. Perhaps now is the time when the experience of college governance to date is able to draw upon its considerable strengths and show what the accumulation of governance capital can achieve.     

Trust in public institutions in Russia: The lowest in the world

The article's topic is the attitudes of the Russians toward their social institutions. As it will be shown, Russia is a country, much more than any other, that mistrusts its social institutions, political institutions in particular. There is no one institution that can garner more than 40 to 50 percent of the nation's trust. Indeed, in terms of their lack of confidence in social institutions, the Russians are behind not only the most advanced countries in the world, but even countries known for their unstable political systems, such as Colombia or Nigeria.     

春秋两个劳动节

每年5月1日的国际劳动节,是世界上大多数国家劳动人民共同的节日,而美国和加拿大的劳动节,则是在每年9月的第一个星期一.这一春一秋两个劳动节,都是起源于19世纪末的美国.     

Normalizing Masculinities in Water Bureaucracy in Thailand

This article addresses the question of whether the culture of masculinity, which is dominant in the water bureaucracy of Thailand, has been changing since the country officially adopted the international paradigm shift towards an integrated approach that emphasizes, among other things, gender equality and women's participation in water resources management. Despite official rhetoric, masculinities have held sway in organizational structure and behavior. Women in both traditional and new water agencies, and those under their mandates, continue to be disadvantaged and excluded. More potent change measures, such as strong gender-sensitive capacity building, are needed. To succeed, such measures may also require broader reforms in state bureaucracy.     

Suicide in Bahrain in the last decade

A combination of social, legal, and religious factors make reporting of suicide difficult in Bahrain, an Islamic country. Limited available data indicates a very low incidence rate of 3 per 100,000. The objective of the present study was to describe the pattern of suicide in Bahrain during a 10-year period. The registered suicide cases (N = 304) at the Ministry of Interior for the 10-year period from 1995 to 2004 were reviewed and analyzed. The mean suicide rate was 0.6 per 100,000 for the Bahraini nationals and 12.6 per 100,000 for the non-Bahrainis with and 17.7 per 100,000 for the Indian migrants. Men were six times more likely than women to commit suicide. The majority of the subjects were under 35 years of age with financial domestic problems being the most common reason reported in the record and hanging the mostly commonly used mode of suicide (92.8%). The suicide rate for the Bahraini population remains low compared to other countries. The higher rate of suicide among Indians merits further investigation. Moreover, more research is needed on the epidemiology of suicide risk factors in ethnic groups for further prevention and intervention.     

Research and productivity in wheat in Israel

The introduction of the new Green Revolution wheat varieties to Israel is reviewed and analysed. It was found that the first stage varieties (developed from local Mexican wheats) did not have a significant impact on yields in Israel. Dwarf varieties and new crosses bred in Israel from Mexican genetic material contributed significantly to yield increases. Returns to local research are estimated. Conclusions about the role of the International Research System are drawn.
