中缅关系60年:发展过程和历史经验

60年来中缅关系提供了发展两国关系的宝贵历史经验,主要是:相邻的地域和密切的民族、经济联系和由此形成的利益攸关的关系是中缅关系的重要特点和广泛、厚实的基础;坚持和平共处五项原则是处理两国关系的基本准则;中缅友好关系和合作水平提高的动力是双方为扩大和实现合作共赢的互动,而在这互动中中国作为大国的对缅合作战略和积极主动极为重要;两国关系的发展趋势是领域越来越广泛、合作水平不断提高,趋向于战略性的合作。尽管缅甸正在积极推行多边外交,但中国对缅甸具有特殊的重要性,巩固、发展和提升两国关系的关键还在于不断巩固与扩大两国的共同利益。     

西北边境地区面临的恐怖威胁及对策研究

中国西北边境地区面临着＂东突＂恐怖势力、极端个人和团体恐怖犯罪、国际恐怖势力及邪教恐怖势力等严重威胁。公安边防部门作为边境地区一支重要的反恐力量,在现实的边境反恐斗争中存在着反恐立法不够完善、工作认识不足、缺乏针对性训练、情报保障能力弱、配合协作机制不完善等薄弱环节。应加强反恐理论学习和宣传教育,加强反恐信息和机动力量建设,加强边防管理和反恐立法等,以有效防范和打击恐怖活动,保卫边境安全、维护社会稳定。     

浅析瑞丽段中缅边民偷越国境问题

由于自然条件便利、经济利益驱动、边民国境意识淡薄以及边防设施陈旧等多方面的原因,瑞丽段中缅边境地区存在严重的偷越国境现象,这不利于我国边境地区的社会秩序稳定和中缅关系的长期友好发展。对此,应该通过引入科技手段、实现片状管理、细化法律法规、加强与缅甸边防部门的合作等方式,有效打击偷越国境的违法犯罪行为。     

清代中俄恰克图边境早期官制考

雍正年间,中俄开恰克图为边境贸易口岸,并开始设官进行管理。随着中俄经济、政治联系的加强,与之相适应的边境管理体制也逐渐形成。两国管理体制在恰克图贸易早期的服务宗旨是不同的:俄方用来打击边境非法贸易,保障对华正常贸易,以充实国库;中方则更关注边境地区的稳定,利用自己的管理体制监督蒙古人越界逃入俄境。     

中缅边界问题解决的历史过程(1954-1961)

1949年10月新中国成立时,中缅边界存在"三段未决的问题",分别是北段尖高山以北的未定界问题、中段猛卯三角地①的"永租"问题和南段"1941年线"问题。1954年至1961年,经过反复沟通和多次谈判,中缅两国最终和平解决了边界问题。根据其特点,中缅边界问题解决的历史过程可划分为提出问题、初步交换意见、直接谈判和签订条约4个阶段。

EUROSUR: saving lives or building borders?

This article analyses the origins and development of the European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) in order to better understand its functioning in view of its stated objectives. Particular attention will be devoted to the European Commission’s recurring claim that one of EUROSUR’s main goals is to save lives at sea. This contribution questions that assertion. It rather considers EUROSUR as representative of the steady, technocratic development of a European system for border management. The reliance on the exchange of information, the reinforcement of FRONTEX, the European Union’s agency for the coordination of operational cooperation between national border guards and the emphasis on cooperation with third countries support this claim.     

On field mice,butterflies, and tigers: Mark Twain’s ‘Ten Commandments’ and circumstance-based justice

The first reports that the Obama administration had deported a record number of people came as a surprise to many. As both Presidents Obama and Bush have attempted to pass moderate immigration reform laws that allowed for legalization, we must ask from where the impetus for driving up the deportation rate has come. The explanation leads to the passage of Secure Communities in 2008, which allowed state and local law enforcement to identify undocumented immigrants through federal information sharing. I seek to explain the social dynamics behind the passage of Secure Communities starting with a review of previous cycles of rapid deportation in US history. I then examine the political activities of the contemporary immigrant restrictionist movement for an understanding of their role.     

From “sensed” to “complex”: some reflections on borders throughout history

The concept and definition of borders has evolved significantly over time. In Europe the twentieth century alone has seen remarkable changes. At the beginning of the century borders represented the clear end of the sovereignty of one state and the beginning of another while the second half of the same century brought revolutionary concepts of state borders. This article aims to contribute towards the conceptual discussion of borders, tracing some of the journey of this concept, from centuries ago when they were perceived as more ”sensed”, to more recent interpretations of ”solid” and “liquid” borders to today's “complex” borders.
