The Nation and its Sermons: Islam,Kemalism and the Presidency of Religious Affairs in Turkey

This article will attempt to develop an in-depth examination of the pivotal role of Islam in the articulation of Turkish nationalism and Turkish official identity by examining the sermons authorized and imposed by the Presidency of Religious Affairs (PRA), the state agency regulating religion, and how the their cosmologies of social, moral and political order are entwined. We will further argue that this role involves a twofold process; firstly, the Muslim identity was imagined as a prerequisite for being considered as a Turk and a Turkish citizen and, secondly, the ‘cultural intimacy’ of Turkish nationalism is grounded on the ‘root paradigms’ inherited and attained from the Islamic tradition and theology. These arguments are particularly pertinent at a time when Islamist JDP (Justice and Development Party) consolidated its power and began to instrumentalize PRA for its priorities and visions of Islam. This, however, does not bring a radical reshuffling of PRA. On the contrary, the continuity from the Kemalist-monitored PRA to the JDP-monitored PRA can be attested not only in its organizational features but also in its ideological make up; especially in terms of its perceptions of society, state and social order.

亚洲区域合作的路径竞争及中国的战略选择

亚洲区域合作虽然被认为存在巨大潜在收益,但由于种种原因,在战后很长时间里一直未能取得实质性进展。1997年亚洲金融危机之后,亚洲合作开始在以东盟为中心的10+框架下推进,但很快就形成了10+3和10+6之间的路径争夺。从相关各方的利益考虑出发,本文认为,亚洲区域合作不同路径的竞争包含亚洲与非亚洲的利益争夺和中日之间关于主导权的竞争两个方面;同时东盟对自身地位的关注也在其中发挥着作用。结合这一判断以及对中国区域合作利益诉求的分析,本文对未来中国推动区域合作的战略提出了初步的建议。     

金融监管“两系统”功能互补分析

我国计划与市场、国内与国际、传统与现代多向交织复杂的金融体系使金融风险呈高发态势;追求金融安全的价值定位,使金融行政监管系统压力过大;面对新型金融业态的发展,金融法律监管系统凸显其滞后与被动。社会转型期复杂的金融环境与新型金融业态对金融行政监管系统与法律监管系统提出了新的要求。只有"两系统"功能互补、共同作用,通过"沟通"与"确权",将认知性期待转化为规范性期待,运用"良法善治"的监管手段,才能达到防范金融风险,确保国家金融安全的监管目的。     

试析南京国民政府在苏北的“导淮”

黄河夺淮改变了苏北水系及地理面貌,淮河、沂沭河衍变为灾河,苏北由此成为“十年九灾”之地,民国时期南京国民政府地苏北淮河及支流实施较为科学的治导,使淮河得到了初步治理,一度减轻了淮河灾害,但日本侵化战争的发生、南京国民政府政策上的偏差及诸社会因素决定了淮河千年灾害在当时不可能被根治。

Montenegro,NATO and the divided society

In this paper we are investigating the political and social effects of Montenegro joining NATO. This issue is highly controversial and follows the political divisions in Montenegro, which motivated us to apply social cleavage theory. As method, we applied logistic regression clustered for standard error. We found that besides socio-demographic variables (ethnic division between Montenegrins and Serbs), the main line of the cleavage indicated by support of, or opposition to NATO membership falls along the issues of the independence of Montenegro, its relationship with the EU vs. Russia, as well as the attitude toward political power and party identification.     

Illegal Economic and Transit Migration in the Czech Republic: A Study of Individual Migrants' Behaviour

This article examines the essential features of international migration and the illegal working activities of migrants in the Czech Republic, with a closer insight into the processes of trafficking and smuggling. The research is based on semi-structured interviews with 63 illegal migrants, both from countries of the former Soviet Union (mainly Ukraine) and developing countries in 2005 and 2006. The main conclusion of the analysis is that, in many ways, the situation of illegal labour and transit migration in the Czech Republic is similar to that in countries with a longer experience as target countries for immigration.
