Civil society in Second Life

The original premise of Second Life was that people really could have a second life. They could be a postman or a shop clerk by day, but by night, they could be a DJ or a builder and earn a living. People took this seriously and did just that to the extent of even quitting their day jobs. The consequence of this is that the lives of the people in Second Life and the institutions they make are a type of civil society.     

Reviving the Bank and Fund

The missions of both the Bank and the Fund have changed greatly since the early years. And the client base has changed greatly. It is time to change procedures to match the rhetoric about governance, corruption, and ownership to incentives that help to bring about these results. The paper offers some suggestions for shifting from the command and control arrangements to systems that encourage local officials to reform. JEL codes F1 · F34 · O19     

第二国际破产原因再探

在相当长的一段时间内，学者们主要是从主观方面来研究第二国际破产的原因，认为机会主义的泛滥是第二国际破产的主要原因。现在看来问题不仅仅在于此。导致第二国际破产的客观因素也是不容忽视的。第二国际建立时机的特殊性和自身存在的缺陷、第二国际时期各国工人运动的时代局限性及战争所造成的各个民族、各个国家关系的错位等，都是导致第二国际破产的客观因素。如何警惕资产阶级民族主义对国际共运的影响，正确解决坚持国际主义原则和维护本民族独立自主的关系，是从第二国际破产客观因素的分析中所得出的主要经验教训     

Time Present and Time Past: Rivalry and the Duration of Interstate Wars, 1846-1985

This article sits at the intersection of the rivalry, war duration, and bargaining literatures, suggesting that histories of armed conflict between states increase war duration through their effects on the selectorate and the wartime bargaining process. I argue that the historical relationship between two states plays an integral role in the duration of future conflict. Specifically, historical conflict between states intensifies the preference of national selectorates for military victory and narrows the range of negotiated settlements that leaders might pursue while still maintaining domestic political support. I employ Bennett and Stam's (1996) ex ante data set and Crescenzi and Enterline's (2001) International Interaction Score to provide an empirical test of the ability to generalize appropriately coded historical interaction to the topic of war duration. Contradicting earlier studies, the results of this analysis show that a properly operationalized measure of rivalry has significant and positive effects on war duration.     

抗战时期章乃器经济思想经世性探微——一位非学院派经济学家的学术取向

抗战爆发后,章乃器对经济问题关注的重点因为战争经济体制的确立与战前有了明显的变化,他兼具经济学家和政治家的身份得以突显。他在抗日期间能更充分地将政治与技术结合在一起。这一时期其经济思想主要体现在下列三个方面：一、显具民本特色的财政思想;二、以充实国力为归宿的战时金融思想;三、以民生主义为导向的工业发展思想。他的思想历程突出了非经院派的爱国人士的意识形态上的政治性取向。章乃器没有明确指责抗战时期国民政府的经济政策和财政金融政策,但是,他的民为邦本的传统性的政治追求却彰显无疑。     

DNA Preservation in Skeletal Elements from the World Trade Center Disaster: Recommendations for Mass Fatality Management*,†

Abstract: The World Trade Center (WTC) victim identification effort highlights taphonomic influences on the degradation of DNA from victims of mass fatality incidents. This study uses a subset of the WTC‐Human Remains Database to evaluate differential preservation of DNA by skeletal element. Recovery location, sex, and victim type (civilian, firefighter, or plane passenger) do not appear to influence DNA preservation. Results indicate that more intact elements, as well as elements encased in soft tissue, produced slightly higher identification rates than more fragmented remains. DNA identification rates by element type conform to previous findings, with higher rates generally found in denser, weight‐bearing bones. However, smaller bones including patellae, metatarsals, and foot phalanges yielded rates comparable to both femora and tibiae. These elements can be easily sampled with a disposable scalpel, and thus reduce potential DNA contamination. These findings have implications for DNA sampling guidelines in future mass fatality incidents.
