西部大开发中民族地方法制建设的意义和作用

西部是我国少数民族最集中的地区,每个少数民族都有其独特的生产、生活和传统文化习俗.在西部大开发的过程中,会因为文化差异而出现新的情况和问题,仅靠统一的国家大法来解决是非常困难的,这就需要靠新的、有针对性的民族地方法律法规的出台和执行来保证西部大开发的顺利和有序进行.所以,民族地方法制建设对西部民族地区的开发和发展有着重要的保障作用.

邓小平民族思想要旨四论

民族问题无小事。当今世界一些多民族国家因民族问题而导致民族纠纷、冲突不断,乃至国家解体,造成了深重灾难。邓小平把马克思主义民族理论与当代中国民族实际相结合,初步回答了在中国这样一个经济文化比较落后的统一的多民族国家里,如何巩固和发展平等、团结、互助的民族关系,加速发展我国少数民族地区的建设,实现全民族共同进步、发展和繁荣的问题,创立了独具中国特色的马克思主义民族理论。本文从民族平等论、民族团结论、民族区域自治论和民族发展论四个方面,把握和阐发邓小平民族理论的基本内涵及当代价值。     

生态旅游与我国自然保护区的发展

传统旅游作为高层次的消费活动,在创造经济效益的同时,也产生了消极的负面影响,其最主要的负面影响是造成生态环境的恶化.生态旅游自1986年墨西哥国际环境会议提出以来,受到国际社会的普遍关注,并成为20世纪90年代最具活力的旅游方式.生态旅游有利于实现经济效益、生态效益和社会效益的综合平衡,避免了短视的投机行为.因此,生态旅游是我国自然保护区可持续发展的战略选择.

Universities and State Policy Formation: Rationalizing a Nanotechnology Strategy in Pennsylvania

Technology‐based economic development programs have become a salient feature of the state policy landscape since the 1980s. While much research exists on the topic, little attention has been given to the processes of policy formation. State programs have moved towards high technology areas emphasized at the federal level over the past decades, and nanotechnology became one of the latest targets. This paper examines the eight‐year process through which Pennsylvania adopted a “state‐wide strategy,” culminating in the Pennsylvania Initiative for Nanotechnology. In this process, programs that responded to the interests of multiple agents came first, and a state policy was formulated after the fact. This pattern of “rationalized policy formation,” as opposed to rational policy formation, may be more common than suspected. Its strengths and weaknesses in this Pennsylvania case are discussed.     

The influence of foreign direct investment on contracting confidence in developing countries

This paper examines whether foreign direct investment (FDI) influences confidence in commercial contracts in developing countries. While the research on how host countries’ policy environments encourage FDI inflows has flourished, scholars have paid less attention to how the policy environment and local actors’ beliefs might, in turn, be affected by FDI. This is surprising because multinational enterprises are well‐recognized political and economic actors across the world. We expect that their increasing economic salience will influence the policy environments in which they function. By employing an innovative measure of property rights protection – contract‐intensive money – we examine how foreign direct investment influences host countries’ contract‐intensive money ratio in a large panel time series of both developed and developing countries from 1980 to 2002. Our analysis suggests that higher levels of FDI inflows are associated with greater confidence in commercial contracts and, by extension, the protection of property rights in developing countries.
