宋代词乐东传的踪迹

高丽时代的音乐分为左右二部，左为唐乐，指新罗以后传入的中国系统的音乐；右为乡乐，即高丽的本土音乐。宋徽宗政和年间，大晟新乐在创制不久即传入高丽，并在宫廷演出。联章体、《九章机》在中国始见于南宋绍兴十六年（1146）刊行的《乐府雅词》中，而在高丽文宗二十七年（1073）已见演出。《高丽史·乐志》中“唐乐呈才”部分录有《抛球乐》等五种歌舞，与《全宋词》所载史浩《采莲舞》、《柘枝舞》等队舞的表演形式基本相同，却比史浩的时代早了大致100年。又其“唐乐”部分录有44个词调及词作。对于认知宋代词乐提供了珍贵资料；在可以考知作者的15首词中，有8首为柳永词，可知“凡有井水处能皆歌柳词”，不独西夏，在海东高丽亦是如此。本文对《韩国音乐史》中译本的一些讹误也作了纠正。     

日韩产业政策立法的演进及启示

日本、韩国经济迅速发展，产业政策法对两国经济的发展起着很重要的作用，本文通过以演进历史为视角对两国的产业政策立法进行深入的分析，寻找其演进的规律，发现两国产业政策立法完善；注重发展中小企业；灵活运用反垄断法；关心产业政策法内部结构的协调；随着经济高速发展，更加关注产业技术立法，产业组织法等等，这些都可以作为中国产业政策立法的经验。     

六方会谈与东北亚安全合作机制

朝核危机的爆发使得构建东北亚安全机制再次成为各国关注的课题。为了解决朝核危机,相关各国先后举行了六轮六方会谈。六方会谈取得了一些进展,也推动了东北亚安全机制的建设,但是作为一个问题机制而存在的六方会谈,不仅受限于朝鲜半岛局势的发展,还深深受限于中美关系的发展和中日之间的结构性矛盾。因此,即使最终能够成功地解决朝核问题,东北亚安全合作机制的建立还将有待于进一步努力。     

浅析诺思的制度变迁理论

诺思对制度及制度变迁的研究，始于新制度经济学，并最终通过对新古典范式的超越而达到自我完满。他把新古典经济学所舍弃掉的企业制度、产权制度、国家和法律制度、意识形态等制度现象纳入到了经济学分析的框架之内，运用成本一收益分析法和供求均衡分析法来分析制度的变迁，形成特色的制度变迁理论体系。但“理性经济人”假设和“边际分析”方法以及渐进式的制度变迁形式都存在着不可回避的局限性。     

Cheap talk,costly talk,crazy talk: patterns in North Korea’s English language propaganda*

This article examines the patterns in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (North Korea’s) use of hostile rhetoric in its internationally-directed messaging. The article first places North Korea’s belligerent rhetoric in the context of that country’s capacity to threaten the US and its Northeast Asian allies; indeed many analysts worry that Pyongyang’s rhetoric represents a conflict escalation risk or even a casus belli. Following this, the article discusses the common explanations – irrationality/incompetence, lack of audience costs, inter alia – for why the North Korean regime employs such hostile rhetoric, and finds these explanations wrong or misleading. The main analysis section describes the results of a study of 10 years of English-language propaganda published by the KCNA (North Korea’s state news agency). A multiple regression model is used to test the relationship between North Korea’s hostile rhetoric and a set of independent variables. The statistical tests indicate a mixed correlation of North Korean rhetoric to the independent variables. One major finding is that there is no correlation between hostile North Korean rhetoric and the country’s kinetic provocations. The conclusion discusses the role that North Korea’s rhetoric plays within the country’s larger adversarial relationship to the US, South Korea, and Japan.     

Why is there no securitisation theory in the Korean nuclear crisis?

Despite the fact that the Korean nuclear crisis is one of the most protracted security issues in the world, the research analysing the crisis from the perspective of securitisation theory is curiously absent. This article attempts to pin down some distinguishing features of South Korea’s securitisation of the nuclear threat posed by North Korea, thereby investigating why one rarely sees the implications of securitisation theory in the way that the Copenhagen School theorists would suggest. Borrowing the key components of securitisation theory—existential threats, referent objects and extraordinary measures—this article suggests three elusive characteristics of the South Korean actors’ speech acts as sources highlighting the dilemma. To make the article’s arguments clearer, I hold Floyd’s classification of securitisation theory, which separated the securitisation process into two different stages: securitising move and security practice. While acknowledging the importance of the differences between illocution and perlocution in a securitisation process, this article takes this logic one step further by suggesting the limits of the perlocutionary effect in making the securitisation process complete.     

Bounding the Commons: Land Demarcation in Northeastern Nicaragua

In north-eastern Nicaragua, territorial titling of communal lands conflates particular notions of ethnicity with proprietary conceptions of space to generate new forms of conflict within and between indigenous and black communities, and with mestizo migrants. Notions of rights between competing groups, or within conflicting normative frameworks, become increasingly polemic during demarcation. While analysis of three land titling case studies demonstrates that results are socially contingent and place based, trends include: (a) power disparities; (b) tension between 'traditional' and 'modern' patterns of land tenure and resource rights; and (c) contradictions fed by international conservation agendas and neoliberal economic reforms. Combining critical actor-based analysis with practical policy critique our work illuminates how contestations over the bounding of communal territories contribute to social injustice.

White Supremacist Activity and Crossburnings in North Carolina

This study examines whether the incidence of crossburnings rises in areas where white supremacist organizations, such as the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, have held rallies or demonstrations. Using data from two public interest groups, Klanwatch and North Carolinians Against Racial and Religious Violence, we track crossburnings and white supremacist activities in 100 North Carolina counties annually for the period 1987–1993. Various statistical models, including an event count analysis that allows each county to have its own level or reporting bias, indicate that the base rate at which crossburnings occur rises sharply in counties where a demonstration has taken place. Since none of the suspected crossburners has apparent ties to white supremacist groups, it may be that white supremacist rallies encourage fellow travelers to engage in this form of racial intimidation.
