全球气候治理中的南北关系

气候变化问题是当今人类社会面临的主要全球性公共问题之一。全球大气空间是典型的全球公共资源,它在消费上具有竞争性,但是在使用上却不具有排他性,因此这一公共资源很容易被过度使用,从而引发气候变化问题上的“公地悲剧”。有效应对气候变化需要广泛的国际合作,     

The Social Construction of Illegality and Criminality

In this article illegal immigrants, a relatively new group of immigrants living at the margins of society, are discussed. The question of the significance of crime for groups that are officially excluded from the formal labour market and public provisions, is presented within the framework of the Unknown City research project, conducted in the four largest Dutch cities (interviews with illegal immigrants; an ethnographic study to determine the extent of support by various ethnic communities; and an examination of the ways in which the restrictive policies towards illegal immigrants were implemented by the police, the Aliens Departments, and by professionals within public or semi-public institutions in the fields of education, healthcare and housing). Both the relatively limited involvement in crime in general and the differences between groups can be explained by the embeddedness of illegal immigrants in the labour sphere and the support by ethnic communities. Attention is paid to the social and legal construction of the illegal immigrant through new legislation and to the observation that illegality is increasingly linked to crime. The majority of illegal immigrants are not criminally active. One exception is the category that is active in the lower levels of the hard drug trade. The authors' analysis suggests that the perception of the criminal illegal immigrant first and foremost reflects the division between wanted and unwanted immigrants, which is the result of the shift towards a restrictive policy.     

Foetal politics and the birth of an industry

In early Western society, women were considered to have a minor role in the reproductive process. Their social status was, correspondingly, secondary. Since the eighteenth century, women's contribution to procreation has been widely accepted, yet their social status remains. Women's importance in the reproduction of the species has not guaranteed them social prestige and the argument of this paper is that women's social standing is being further assaulted by the legal and economic consequences of innovations in birth technology. Two well-publicized innovations, Artificial Insemination by Donor, and In-Vitro Fertilization (or ‘test-tube babies’) have provoked legal, political and economic considerations which focus upon the possibilities of extensive bioengineering. The significance of this for women is that birth technology is not being fashioned after the interests of its clients but, instead, is becoming a new mercantile frontier in which women's needs may well be eclipsed by commercial and political ambitions.     

切实当好人民利益的代表

胡锦涛同志2003年7月1日的重要讲话中指出:“对于马克思主义执政党来说,坚持立党为公,执政为民,实现好、维护好、发展好最广大人民的根本利益,充分发挥全体人民的积极性来发展先进生产力和先进文化,始终是最紧要的。”这就要求各级党员领导干部,要以“三个代表”重要思想为指导,身体力行,切实当好中国最广大人民根本利益的代表,无愧于党和人民的重托。一、切实当好最广大人民根本利益的代表,必须与时俱进贯彻落实党和国家的方针政策,推动生产力的发展     

福建省产业公共技术服务平台建设研究

产业公共技术服务平台是为产业发展提供技术服务的支撑体系.加快福建省产业公共技术服务平台建设是增强区域自主创新能力、加快产业发展的重要途径.在分析福建省产业平台建设现状与需求的基础上,提出要以提高企业的自主创新能力、提升产业技术水平为主线,根据福建省三大主导产业、重点培育发展的高新技术产业、有竞争优势的传统产业,以及产业集群对共性技术和关键技术的需求,在中小企业比较集中和具有产业集聚优势的地区,重点建立一批产业公共技术服务平台.要加强平台建设的宏观布局,以重点产业集群、国家级和省级高新区为载体,依托龙头企业,以福州、厦门、泉州三个主要城市为重点区域构建福建省产业公共技术服务平台体系.文章最后提出了推进平台建设的对策建议.
