美国与俄罗斯的中亚竞逐

冷战结束后中亚地区所处的地缘战略位置及其属性凸现出其重要的战略意义。而美国和俄罗斯由于其各自特定的历史抱负和使命感、该地区在其对外战略中所占有的特殊份量、以及两国特殊的历史交往过程等因素,使其在中亚地区的相互竞逐过程尤为引人注目。尤其是“9·11”以后美国和俄罗斯在互动中展现出新型的竞逐态势,对地区乃至全球局势产生了直接或间接的影响。     

A political culture in exile: The Estonian inter-war generation in Canada and Sweden

Abstract

This article focuses on cultural responses to institutional change. Through a value survey about civic values and perceptions of the state, predictions from rationalism and culturalism are tested on a generation of Estonians. Members of this inter-war generation were socialized during the first Estonian republic in the 1920s and 1930s, but then spent their adult lives in exile in Sweden and Canada. The survey, which was performed in 1998 when the respondents born between 1915–25 were well into their seventies and eighties, shows substantially stronger approval of democratic opportunities and public institutions among Canadian-Estonians in comparison to the Swedish-Estonians. Theoretically, the conclusion drawn is that a modification of the cultural theory resting on the importance of cultural correspondence between the originally socialized culture in the inter-war period and that of the host country is needed in order to make sense of this cultural response pattern.
