Miscarriage of Justice? Postcolonial Reflections on the ‘Trial’ of the Maharajah of Baroda, 1875

This article revisits the Baroda Incident 1875, providing a detailed examination of the Enquiry or ‹trial’ for the first time, and locating that examination in the wider socio-cultural context of the nineteenth century British Empire (especially the Raj) and the exporting of the ‹British’/English legal culture to the Empire. The implications of the establishing of British principles of justice, including the value placed upon Indian-generated evidence and testimony by the courts, are explored, in order to establish the Baroda Incident as a significant miscarriage of justice. Using historical methodologies as well as postcolonial insights, it demonstrates that the concepts of justice on which the British prided themselves were intrinsincally racialised as well as gendered, with profound modern resonances.

Competitive Liberalization,Competitive Imperialism,and Intellectual Property

Aggressive pursuit of free trade agreements (FTAs) and customs unions (CUs) by major and minor trading powers alike challenges the conventional wisdom in favor of such pursuit – competitive liberalization. An equally plausible explanation for an active bilateral and regional trade agreement policy, one which effectively de-emphasizes multilateralism, may be competitive imperialism. The protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights is one area in which new provisions, going beyond multilateral rules, are being negotiated and written into FTAs and CUs. Such provisions may yield insights into which characterization of bilateralism and regionalism – competitive liberalization or competitive imperialism – is more apt.

浅析公务员职位轮换中存在的问题及对策

笔者认为,在我国地方现阶段实行公务员轮换的过程中,存在着诸如轮换周期不合理、随意轮换、离任审计不彻底、制度不健全等诸多问题,因而给政府工作带来一些负面效应。本文试图分析公务员职位轮换中存在的这些问题并寻求相应对策,以期达到实行公务员职位轮换应有的目的。     

丝状霉形体山羊亚种巢式PCR检测方法的建立

根据已发表的丝状霉形体簇各成员核苷酸序列,设计合成了2对引物McF、McR和MmcF、MmcR,建立了可以鉴别丝状霉形体山羊亚种(Mycoplasma mycoidessubsp.capri,Mmc)的巢式PCR方法。特异性和敏感性试验结果显示,该方法只能对Mmc扩增出195 bp的片段,而对其他病原菌不能扩增出任何条带,它最低能够检测出10 pg的Mmc DNA,说明该方法具有良好的特异性和很高的敏感性。田间试验结果显示,对4株霉形体分离株及其病料均可扩增出Mmc特异性片段,表明,该巢式PCR方法可用于Mmc快速鉴定和流行病学调查。     

竞争论维度下的企业专利战略管理

从波特提出的竞争论的维度来看,专利是企业的一种资源,如能站在战略的高度对其加以管理则能使企业获取和保持竞争优势。借鉴波特的“五力”模型,从行业中发掘研发机会,进而构建市场价值和企业研发能力组成的矩阵,将研发机会置入矩阵中进行评估,并依据评估结果进行专利战略管理。     

薛幕桥与《薛暮桥回忆录》

从在“牢监大学”自学成才到三十年代主编《中国农村》，从在新四军和苏北抗大讲授政治经济学到主持山东解放区的战时财经工作，从建国前夕在西柏坡协助周恩来同志处理即将诞生的新中国的经济工作到为建立社会主义市场经济体制而深入探索，薛暮桥以其睿智的头脑、深邃的思想、精辟的论述，将马克思主义经济理论运用于中国革命和建设的实践，提出了一系列富有创建性的政策主张，为中国的社会主义经济改革与发展作出了重要贡献，从而成为我国经济学界的泰斗、杰出的马克思主义经济学家、新中国社会主义经济理论的奠基人之一。１９０４年，薛暮…
