论南方红军游击队的革命精神

南方红军三年游击战争与红军二万五千里长征一样,同样是一部惊天动地的不朽史诗,是一座高耸入云的历史丰碑。南方红军三年游击战争孕育出红军游击队豪气入云的革命精神,这就是：革命信念坚定不移的精神;敢于战胜任何艰难困苦的精神;视人民为亲生父母的精神;生为革命死不哭的牺牲精神。这种精神与井冈山精神、苏区精神、长征精神等一样,是中华民族的宝贵的精神财富,是激励中国人民在建设中国特色社会主义道路上奋勇前进的强大精神动力。     

难以言说的战争创伤——巴克后期小说中的疏离与隔阂

英国现当代著名作家帕特·巴克（Pat Barker）以其作品对创伤的持续叙写而著称,其后期作品中描写的战争创伤更是引起了广泛的关注。在其后期作品中,巴克描写了由于战争经历的迥异造成回归士兵、医护人员、志愿者、战地记者与后方民众之间难以消弭的疏离和隔阂。透过战争的梦魇给英国士兵和民众之间造成的心灵隔阂,巴克影射了战争给英国这个民族及其民众带来的不堪回首的心灵创伤。     

Realist Visions of the End of the Cold War: Morgenthau, Aron and Waltz

Although realist theory did not predict the end of the cold war, prominent realist scholars such as Hans Morgenthau, Raymond Aron and Kenneth Waltz did give some thought to the conditions under which the cold war might be settled. Both Aron and Morgenthau characterised the cold war as a combination of traditional power politics and ideological competition, but they differed on the relative weight of each component. For Morgenthau, a diplomatic settlement would deactivate the unsettling potential of the ideological conflict; for Aron, only the disappearance of the ideological conflict could pave the way to some lasting diplomatic settlement. For Waltz, ideology had little impact; the bipolar structure of the international system was the main variable on which both the cold war and its end depended.     

国木田独步《爱弟通信》与历史的隐秘脉络

甲午战争是一场侵略战争,昔日的日本朝野上下却称作是文明对野蛮之战。即便是甲午战争后转为反战主义者的内村鉴三也受此鼓惑而于1894年9月3日《国民之友》发表《日清战争之义》一文,宣称日本是东洋进步主义的战士,中国是进步的大敌等。如此时代背景下,《爱弟通信》这一出自日本作家国木田独步之手的甲午战争见闻录便应运而生了。尽管随军记者独步笔下的内容并不能代表其本人的真实想法,当军国主义思想与文学的人文关怀相交织时,时年23岁的独步究竟是如何书写这场战争的,有必要透过历史的尘埃去重新审视这一时代的缩影。     

从伊拉克战争看国际法面临的冲击与命运

伊拉克战争所导致的国际法危机,是现行国际法与当代国际社会之间矛盾的集中反映。这场战争违反了国际法的本质并对国际法权威造成重大冲击,但同时也为革新现行国际法提供了必要性和可能性,孕育着国际法发展的新契机。     

论邓小平世界战争观

冷战后,世界格局向多极化趋势发展。和平与发展时代主题更为明显,然而世界各地地区战争不断。邓小平世界战争观使我们认识到世界大战可以避免的原因,也促使我们认识到地区战争仍不能根除的历史、现实因素。     

读罗尔斯的《政治哲学讲义》——立足于人性看《利维坦》中的社会契约

罗尔斯在他的《政治哲学讲义》中对霍布斯的利维坦给予了高度评价,并主要在世俗系统内对《利维坦》进行了全面的解读。罗尔斯对社会契约的形成过程的分析不是基于神学知识的考虑,而是通过对人性的认知,并以人性为核心,来看待自然状态如何转变为战争状态,以及如何由自然状态下形成订立契约的合意,最终导致自然状态向市民社会的转变。     

Latvia, 1918–1920: A Civil War?

The post–World War I conflict that took place in Latvia between 1918 and 1920 was variously described as “struggle for freedom,” “war for liberty,” “independence war,” “civil war,” and so on. This article reviews the various concepts by discussing alternatives of statehood in Latvia. Its primary objective is to provide more evidence to the argument that the postwar conflict that took place in Latvia between 1918 and 1920 may be considered “a civil war.” By focusing on the Red and White terror campaigns, the author suggests that terror is one of the most overlooked aspects of the conflict that provides significant evidence for the perspective of “civil war.” He claims that the war was not “a class struggle,” as argued by Soviet historians, and calls for alternative explanations that would include the discussion of moral crisis, ideological conflict, ethnic and social hatred, clash of values, and the explosion of terror in Latvia.     

External Interventions in Post-Cold War Africa, 1989–2010

The study of external interventions in conflict management is critical and has implications for international relations and conflict theory. Quantitative studies of the relationship between external interventions and civil war have been prone to some conceptual limitations (understudied lower-intensity periods) and data limitations (unavailability of event battle death data). This article presents a new external interventions data set covering the period between 1989 and 2010 for Africa, building on the Regan et al. (2009) data set, which covers the period between 1945 and 1999. Novel features of this new data set are: the recoding of the overlap period; a broader range of categories of intervention, including UN and non-UN missions; and wider temporal scope, by extending the period of analysis to 2010, by lowering the civil war threshold to 25 battle deaths, and by starting the conflict period from the date of the first battle death in each civil war (based on UCDP GED version-1.5-2011). The advantages of the data set are illustrated with an analysis of the different effects interventions have on high- and low-intensity conflict periods.     

Rebel Behavior in the Context of Interstate Competition: Exploring Day-to-Day Patterns of Political Violence in Africa

This study develops a day-to-day theory of political violence that predicts that rebels respond strategically to the onset of interstate conflict that is directly related to a civil war. Government-initiated interstate conflict is theorized to incentivize rebels to signal their resolve, willingness to bear costs, and vulnerability of government forces. In addition, this form of interstate conflict is predicted to decrease violence against civilian populations, as it makes it more likely that rebels will need to rely on civilians for resources in the future. This is contrary to interstate conflict initiated by an external state, as this signal of third-party support makes civilian support more dispensable from the perspective of a rebel movement. Using a country-day data set constructed from event data, evidence is presented that is consistent with this theoretical logic. Interstate conflict, therefore, is shown to play a significant role in explaining the variation of violent events that occur on a day-to-day basis during a civil conflict.
