Independence Day as a Cosmopolitan Moment: Teaching International Relations

This essay expands upon a teaching approach that I used in my introductory international relations (IR) course for three semesters prior to September 11, 2001. The vast majority of the curriculum of the course is read through Independence Day , a 1996 blockbuster Hollywood film. Beginning with the film and the concept of world order it arguably provides through a fictional moment of world peace (or hegemony, depending how one interprets the leading role of the U.S. in the film and the significance of the Fourth of July holiday as the world's Independence Day, hence ID4 ) students are able to understand several key concepts in IR theory, as well as the major paradigms of IR thought that I present to them. ID4 presents the viewer with the IR field's two great mythological narratives, realism and idealism, and preserves the notion of the nation-state as the predominant actor and unit of analysis for understanding world history and key events in that history.

欧盟安全模式的体系层次分析

欧盟安全模式在冷战后日益突出,其特点在于通过有效的多边主义来维护安全。在冷战期间西欧国家地处两极对抗的前沿,两极格局的终结也对欧盟国家造成了重大冲击。因此,欧洲安全模式的形成和发展深受体系结构和体系进程的影响和制约。其中,结构因素发挥更为重要的作用,但同时体现为国际制度的进程因素对于巩固和维护欧洲安全也有重大的反作用。国际制度无法独立于体系结构影响国家行为,在欧洲安全模式形成的过程中,体系结构是独立的自变量,国际制度则是干预变量。     

情报信息的侦查模式

侦查模式是指侦查主体进行侦查活动时所采用的程式。传统侦查模式可分为从案到人、从人到案、从案到人、从物到案等模式。情报信息的侦查模式是利用情报信息系统和通讯网络开展的侦查方式,从侦查切入点、侦查思维、侦查措施、侦查效率等方面与传统侦查模式有着较大的差别。情报信息的侦查模式具有反应迅速、过程保密、结果客观、成本低、效率高等优势和特点。     

犯罪情报分析研究基本原理与方法探析

犯罪情报的的分析研究是在坚持马克思主义认识论总原则的前提下 ,在分析研究的基本原理指导下 ,应用具体的方法进行分析研究的知识认知活动和知识创造活动 ,是分析研究基本原理与基本方法相互渗透、共同作用的结果。犯罪情报分析研究原理与方法主要有因果关系原理及其分析方法、相似原理及其分析方法、相关原理及其分析方法、创新原理及其分析方法。     

试论张爱玲创作继承的民族传统

张爱玲小说创作继承的民族传统，主要来自明清世情小说、晚清谴责小说和民国社会小说，表现在描写世态人情、写实性、结构散漫性、全知视角、含蓄笔法和通俗性等方面。其小说的艺术优长和缺失，包括狭窄的婚恋题村、平实琐碎的生活细节、松散随意的结构、说书人的叙述角度、微妙的隐喻和暗示以及通俗小说趣味，都源于她对上述中国旧小说传统的继承。旧小说成就了张爱玲的小说风格，也从根本上影响和制约了其思想价值和艺术品质。     

民族法文化与中华法系——以金代为例

本文试以12-13世纪中国北方游牧文明对中原农耕文明的又一波撞击中,女真习惯法文化与中原儒家法文化双向流动、融汇而成的多元一体的金法文化为例,说明中国传统法律文化荟萃各民族法律文化之精华,兼收并蓄,广采博取,取精用宏,才铸就了自身独特的法律品格;而作为中国传统法律文化的典型代表,中华法系的形成也经历了从分散的多元结合成一体的历史过程;中华法系是以汉族为主体的各民族法律意识、法律原则和法律制度长期交流、融合的产物。     

如何有效地开展安全检查

安全检查是安全保卫工作中及时发现、消除安全隐患的一项重要措施 ,但是在实际工作中却存在检查内容不完善 ,操作性不强 ,流于形式的现象。根本上解决这一问题必须在安全检查的内容上、形式上及其检查时机等方面进行更加合理的界定和把握 ;并利用现代先进科学技术拓宽安全检查的范围 ,提高安全检查的准确性。     

Scale, technique and composition effects in the Mexican agricultural sector: the influence of NAFTA and the institutional environment

More than a decade after NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) entered into force, the environmental effects of agricultural trade liberalization in Mexico are still controversial, emerging, and not fully understood. This paper contributes to the literature that aims to explore trends in input use in the agricultural sector in Mexico during the post-NAFTA period among both commercial/industrial and traditional/rainfed farmers, and examines the influence of the national and multilateral institutional framework on these outcomes. We decompose the post-NAFTA agricultural production data into scale, technique and composition effects to estimate the impact that trade liberalization has had on the use of fertilizer and land use, two key agricultural inputs for which reliable aggregate data is available. We conclude that among commercial farmers patterns of crop type specialization and significant technological improvements have led to some declines in fertilizer use but they have been offset by growth in fertilizer use associated with growing agricultural output. Among traditional farmers increased output and specialization in land-intensive grain crops are contributing to an increase in land under cultivation and technological improvements show the potential, but not yet not the strength, to counteract these effects. We analyse the environmental institutional framework and rural development plans, observing that institutional weaknesses have, in several instances, reduced the environmental benefit of technique and composition effects. We conclude with recommendations about how the Mexican agricultural sector might reap the environmental benefits of international agricultural trade.     

推动产业技术体系变革实现县域经济的可持续发展

县域经济是我国国民经济的重要组成部分,从本质上说,县域经济也是“三农”经济。改革开放以来,县域经济获得了快速发展,但这种发展却往往伴随着资源耗竭与环境破坏。要实现我国县域经济的可持续发展,必须推动县域经济产业技术体系变革。通过对国外可持续经济理论的分析,结合我国县域经济发展现状,提出将科技进步视为实现可持续性县域经济的第一推动力;以现代技术改造传统县域经济产业;以生态产业园区建设为中心,构筑县域经济发展新平台;以行政立法,经济杠杆等手段,激发县域经济体系中的中小企业的创新意识,环境保护意识的县域经济可持续发展战略。
