Engagement with empire as norm and in practice in Kazakh nomadic political culture (1820s–1830s)

This article offers an analysis of the Kazakh nomadic political culture of the 1820s–30s with focus on two issues: (1) service and loyalty as elements of Kazakh engagement with the Russian Empire; and (2) the place in local political practice of the regional administrative offices (diwans) created for Middle Horde Kazakh nomads in 1822. While Russia’s goal was ‘bureaucratization’ and creation of ‘order’ in the steppe, in part through directing nomads to engage with the diwan and its elected Kazakh officials, Kazakh political actors variously embraced and rejected formal structures, and continued to define relevant norms and practices of governance. The analysis challenges both statist and nationalist narratives of nineteenth-century Kazakh steppe history by acknowledging the complexities of the Kazakh nomadic experience of empire-building. The ultimate purpose is to suggest new approaches for interpreting historical change throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth.

后发理论视域下欠发达地区农村集体经济发展的现实与出路

农村集体经济是欠发达地区汇聚发展资源、提高市场化能力、实现产业规模化的有效途径,对于提高基层组织活力、实现共同富裕具有重要意义。立足于先天条件和后天机遇,我国中西部欠发达地区在自然资源、生态环境、文化资源、技术提升、制度改革、政策保障等方面具备发展集体经济的后发优势。但同时也可能因先天不足和后天实践不足在交通条件、耕地面积、思想意识、配套设施、产业发展、人才资源等方面产生后发劣势。要破解欠发达地区长久以来的发展难题,补齐现代化发展中的中西部短板,就要求欠发达地区通过产业定位发挥初始禀赋的价值,通过制度创新、民生保障与联合发展来强化初始禀赋,弥补后发劣势,促进农村集体经济的长远发展。     

Globalisation and Latin American and Caribbean Organised Crime

The longstanding institutional weaknesses of most states in Latin America and the Caribbean, in combination with the existence of a highly lucrative underground drug trade in the Western hemisphere, make the countries in that corner of the world system not only especially prone to indigenous organised crime, but also attractive targets for transnational criminal enterprises. In most of the region, the dynamics of globalisation over the last two decades have resulted in almost ideal conditions for the rapid penetration and spread of transnational organised crime. Thus, as well as considering the overall situation in Latin America and the Caribbean, this article will particularly consider the scope and impact of the post-Cold War wave of Russian transnational organised crime to illustrate this phenomenon.
