新生代农民工群体的十大关键性问题判断

2010年1月31日，国务院发布的2010年中央一号文件《关于加大统筹城乡发展力度，进一步夯实农业农村发展基础的若干意见》中，首次使用了“新生代农民工”的提法，并要求采取有针对性的措施，着力解决新生代农民工问题，让新生代农民工市民化。我国新生代农民工的出现，是一个值得研究和关注的现象，其中以下十个问题尤为重要——     

台湾经济“黄金十年”的机遇与挑战

进入21世纪以来的10年，台湾经济发展基本上陷于低迷甚至衰退的状态，增长率明显下降，失业率大幅提高，所得分配差距持续扩大，可谓是“困境十年”。2010年，在两岸关系加快发展，全球逐步摆脱国际金融危机、经济呈现复苏的背景下，台湾经济一举重返了久违的两数位高增长。马英九当局在这个时候力推“黄金十年”愿景正是表达了这种强烈的期盼与决心。台湾未来发展确实十分需要一个长远规划与愿景，而推进这一愿景也正面临着难得的历史机遇，但客观而言，这个愿景所面对的挑战却是极其严峻的。     

十年来两岸关系发展总体评估

1996年以来的10年，两岸围绕是否坚持一个中国原则进行了尖锐复杂的斗争，大陆坚定地捍卫一个中国格局。两岸政治关系震荡倒退，两岸经贸关系更加密切，“政冷经热”、“官冷民热”的矛盾更加突出。总体上，有利于“反独促和”的积极因素显著增强，“反独遏独”已取得阶段性重大成果，两岸关系总体上朝有利于大陆的方向发展。回顾过去10年来两岸关系的基本特征，分析影响两岸关系发展因素的变化，对于预估两岸关系走势、推动两岸关系和平稳定发展具有一定的现实意义。     

吴冠中的十个［看到惯］

整理出吴冠中的十个“看不惯”，以此纪念敢说真话的个性艺术大师!．1、看不惯“美协”和“画院”吴冠中以亲身经历细数美协、画院、文联、作协等各种艺术家组织的“协会弊端”。他在接受《南方都市报》采访时，就曾提出“取消画院，取消美协”，“美协是个衙门，文联也是这样。谁都来管文艺，结果文艺上不去!”     

三个关键词陪伴建工物业部十年大发展

以理念成为企业发展的先导,让速度展示企业的勇气,让品质提升企业的竞争力——十年来,北京建工物业部把握住这三个关键词,完成了成为新兴产业力量的蜕变。对于一个儿童,十年,展示着从尚在襁褓中牙牙学语到逐渐长大的成长史;对于建工物业部,十年意味着从无到有、从弱到强的发展史。十年,是建工物业部筚路蓝缕的十年,翻天覆地的十年,和谐发展的十年。     

“十大公仆”今何在?

十年前,1986年6月29日上午,广州文化公园门口,熙熙攘攘的人群争着抢着一张张表格,这不是今日广州随处可见的什么抽奖摸奖,而是“评选广州地区‘十大杰出公仆’活动民意测验问卷”。 别小看这一张小小的问卷,在当时,这不啻是一颗小小的卫星,在广州这个刚刚接受了“开放”“改革”新观念的地方,拓开了一方探寻民意的天空。 三个月后,十位“杰出公仆”经过“民提”“民评”“民选”应运而生。他们中,有当时的广州市市长、市委书记,有企业家,有专栏作家,还有工会主席、民办福利机构的负责人……     

年度“中国未成年人保护十大事件”揭晓

5月30日，北京青少年法律援助与研究中心公布2009-2010年度中国未成年人保护十大事件评选结果，“中国确立打击拐卖儿童新格局”位列十大事件之首。     

中国国际交流协会第十届理事会在北京召开

4月24日下午，中国国际交流协会（简称交流协会）第十届理事会会议在北京召开。会议总结了协会五年多来的工作，一致认为，交流协会以“让世界了解中国，让中国了解世界”为目的，以增进中国人民同世界各国人民之间的相互了解与友好合作，维护世界和平，促进共同发展为宗旨，对外广泛地开展民间交流与对话活动，不断充实交流内容，     

苏联解体十年后的反思

苏联解体、苏共垮台、苏联社会主义模式溃败已经十周年了。阅读《邓小平文选》，方知早在1989年9月初，邓小平就曾指出过：“东欧、苏联乱，我看也不可避免，至于乱到什么程度，现在不好预料，还要很冷静地观察。”这是对中央几位负责人讲的。但一般人又怎么会如此料事如神呢！     

十年来两岸经贸关系发展评估

“95—96年台海危机”，是上世纪80年代以来两岸关系发展中的一个重大事件，也是一个值得观察的转折点，两岸之间从此结束了一段具有共同接触、协商基础与双方关系持续改善的时期，进入一个政治上更加对立的时期。在这样的大背景下，台湾当局的大陆经贸政策从相对积极走向保守消极，加强管制从此成为其大陆政策的主轴。不过，在经济全球化与区域经济一体化浪潮与巨大的经济利益下，10年来，两岸经贸关系发展仍取得重大成就，两岸产业分工格局出现全新的变化。然而，不可否认，“95—96年台海危机”后，由于两岸政治关系的恶化与两岸两会接触的中断，两岸经贸关系正常化发展目标尚未实现，两岸经济合作机制未能建立，两岸直航未能实现，两岸经济关系与政治关系呈现出一种与政治经济学理论相背离的反常发展状态。     

Power and transformational and transactional leadership in public and private organizations

Ten public and 35 private organizations located in Central New York State participated in a university- sponsored research project to study the effects of organizational characteristics upon types of leadership (transformational/transactional) and power demonstrated by supervisors. Public sector organizations in which managers had low control over rewards were compared to private sector organizations in which managers had high control over rewards.

Followers perceived public sector supervisors as more inspirational by their followers and they used more active management-by-exception behavior than those in private organizations. Private sector supervisors had more reward, legitimate and coercive power than supervisors in public sector organizations.     

Natural Resources and Small Island Economies: Mauritius and Trinidad and Tobago

Abstract

Historically, small economies, especially resource-rich ones, underperformed on average relative to their larger counterparts. Small island economies appear still more disadvantaged due to remoteness from both markets and agglomeration economies. Yet a comparison of two small island economies with similar initial conditions other than their mineral endowment suggests that policy outweighs size, isolation and resource endowment in determining economic performance. Resource-poor Mauritius adopted an unfashionable policy of export manufacturing that systematically eliminated surplus labour, which drove economic diversification that sustained rapid GDP growth and political maturation. Like most resource-rich economies, Trinidad and Tobago pursued policies that absorbed rent too rapidly, which impeded diversification and created an illusory prosperity vulnerable to collapse.     

Country size and economic growth and development

This paper attempts to provide limited empirical evidence on the nature of the relationship between country size and rates of economic growth and levels of economic development, and on the possible effects of trade concentration and dependence on trade on this relationship. It suggests that there is no discernible association between country size and economic development, nor between country size and economic growth, and that neither the dependence on trade of small countries nor their commodity and geographic export concentration are necessarily important factors in economic growth and economic development.     

Russian stereotypes and myths of Ukraine and Ukrainians and why Novorossiya failed

This article discusses two inter-related issues. Firstly, the factors lying behind Russia's fervent belief that its Novorossiya (New Russia) project, aimed to bring back to Russia eight oblasts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhhya, Odesa, Mykolayiv, and Kherson in eastern and southern Ukraine and launched during the 2014 “Russian Spring,” would be successful. Russian identity misunderstood, and continues to misunderstand, Ukraine and Ukrainians through stereotypes and myths of Ukraine as an “artificial state” and Ukraine's Russian speakers as “fraternal brothers” and Russians and Ukrainians as “one people” (odin narod). Secondly, why Ukrainian national identity was different than these Russian stereotypes and myths and how this led to the failure of the Novorossiya project. Russian stereotypes and myths of Ukraine and Ukrainians came face to face with the reality of Russian-speaking Ukrainian patriotism and their low support for the Russkij Mir (Russian World). The article compares Russian stereotypes and myths of Ukraine and Ukrainians with how Ukrainians see themselves to explain the roots of the 2014 crisis, “Russian Spring,” and failure of Russian President Vladimir Putin's Novorossiya project.     

Earnings and ethnicity in Trinidad and Tobago

This study employs 1993 Continuous Sample Survey of the Population (CSSP) data for Trinidad and Tobago to investigate the determinants of earnings by ethnicity. The data, organised into three ethnic groupings, reveal lower levels of remuneration in the labour market for Africans and Indians than for individuals of other ethnicities taken as a whole. While the larger portion of the earnings differentials generally appears to be explained by ethnic differences in characteristics valued by the labour market, Africans and Indians would benefit substantially if they were to receive the same rates of remuneration for their educational endowments as workers of other ethnicities in the Trinidad and Tobago labour market. Notwithstanding Indians’ lowest average earnings, Africans appear more likely to be discriminated against.     

现代化与未成年人犯罪

未成人犯罪随着现代化的发展而发展，这可以说是一种国际现象。在现代化进程中，我国未成年人犯罪大量增多的原因在于：未成年人生理、心理发展不平衡，家庭教育存在缺失，学校教育存在不足，社会上存在着很多消极因素。在现代化进程中，必须采取有效对策，控制未成年人犯罪增多，才能保障未成年人健康成长。     

Displacement and Testimony: Recent History and the Study of Exile and Post-exile

This article analyzes the testimonial literature of Latin American exile within the wider framework of studies of exile and post-exile. It claims that testimonies have an important role in providing access to the multiple and reflexive voices of exiles and expatriates, which are relevant to the reconstruction of the recent history of Latin America. Their relevance lies in enabling analysis to move beyond the heroic, Byronic vision of exile towards a less idealistic yet more intimate understanding of the gains and losses of territorial displacement, as well as the tensions, ambiguities, and conflicts developing within the communities of exiles, as they face new challenges. Exile testimonies also allow research to trace the development of a broader sense of identity extending beyond territorial borders and expressed in the awareness of being part of national Diasporas and, for many, also a Latin American transnational consciousness.     

“两抢”犯罪的趋势与防控

根据最近16年的统计数据，我国“两抢”犯罪总体呈上升态势，且出现多方面的特点。当前，影响“两抢”犯罪变化趋势的因素主要有：社会管理机制完善的程度、社会成员之间收入的差距、“两抢”犯罪主体特点、社会成员的防范意识以及公安机关的防控机制等。预防“两抢”犯罪需要整个社会尤其是公安机关的共同努力。     

Government and Corruption: Scylla and Charybdis

Using public sector employment and corruption perception data for 72 countries across the world, this article demonstrates that despite common notion countries with “smaller” governments do not tend to have lower corruption. Under general assumptions, one can demonstrate that there is an optimal size of public sector employment corresponding to the highest capital intensity. The model has several implications: lower optimal sizes of governments for labor intensive countries and higher sizes for capital intensive ones, possibility to reduce corruption paying a cost of suboptimal output, and a higher “price” of an oversized government for labor intensive countries.
