Popular mobilization and disaster management in Cuba

Cuba has effectively implemented a system of popular mobilization and education to prepare people for such natural disasters as hurricanes. Compliance with evacuation orders is impressive. Top priority is attached to saving lives. The country's acclaimed programme accounts for the limited toll of Hurricane Michelle in November 2001, which was the most powerful storm since 1944. Five Cubans died in the storm, which wreaked havoc in Jamaica, Honduras, and Nicaragua. This article reviews recent Cuban experience in disaster preparedness, which was achieved despite material scarcity. Since the prestigious Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns of increased susceptibility to disasters in future, Cuba's record deserves wide attention.

Population tradeoffs in China

China's population of 1.1 billion is growing. China's population is also aging: the elderly may number 300 to 400 million by 2050. Efforts to reduce the population growth will increase the proportion elderly. To increase the size of the work force, a substantial delay in the age of retirement may be necessary. To reduce the number of births, some judicious mix of delayed childbearing and lower fertility will be required. The population policy choices made in China will determine the future size, age composition, employment structure, and family patterns of a population that currently includes more than a fifth of the world's people.

走出低谷的朝越老古的社会主义

２０世纪９０年代苏东巨变的冲击浪,使世界社会主义遇到了前所未有的困难:社会主义地盘减少、共产党数量减少、社会主义影响力减弱。但是,历史的时钟并没有停摆,“不要认为马克思主义就消失了,没用了,失败的。”（邓小平）中国以及朝鲜、越南、老挝、古巴的社会主义终于顶住了国际反共、反社会主义的逆流,经受锻炼,吸取教训、促使社会主义向更加健康的方向发展。高扬社会主义伟大旗帜社会主义是共产党人的崇高理想和坚定信念,是指引世界无产阶级前进的伟大旗帜。面对国际反动势力的“大失败”、“历史的终结”之类的喧嚣,面对苏东一些社会主…
