布什政府在东南亚的三重战略及走向

布什政府在东南亚展开的一系列外交活动中,有着明晰的战略目标。它在这一地区的战略目标有3个方面：美国价值观的推行、双边关系的建立和加强、参与并影响地区进程。对上述三重战略走向分别进行阐述分析后,笔者认为,美国会继续推行它的既定战略,但是会遇到一定的阻力。     

中美警务比较对我国公安改革的启示

我们通过对中美警察的警察机构、警察快速反应机制、社区警务、技术装备等方面的比较后得出:中国应该从美国的警务发展中汲取有益经验,夯实群众基础工作,建设立体治安防控体系,提高公安科技水平,建立具有中国特色的高效警务机制,做好社会稳定工作。     

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Adopting Open Educational Resources in an Introductory American Government Course

In this article, we present findings from a grant-funded initiative to replace traditional, proprietary textbooks with an open content textbook under a Creative Commons license in the introductory American government course (POLS 1101) at Middle Georgia State University. We find that the use of an open content textbook led to somewhat negative effects on student learning outcomes and student course satisfaction, although the associated lower textbook cost increased textbook accessibility to students. We conclude with some suggestions to those adopting textbooks in this course and to the wider discipline regarding measures that may lead to more unequivocally positive outcomes than those experienced in this study.     

美国三权分立制度与我国议行合一制度之比较

由于历史、文化和社会条件等的差异,不同的国家所实施的国家管理形式会不相同。美国实行三权分立政治制度,中国实行的是议行合一政治体制。抑恶功能是前者的价值理念,扬善功能是后者的价值理念。它们在实践中都有所长,有所短,需要相互借鉴,取长补短。     

“缝被”的文化隐喻与美国女性主义文学传统的建构

20世纪90年代以来,基于美国黑人妇女缝制“拼贴被”的文化传统,女性主义者提出把女性主义内部的种族、阶级、国别和性取向的差异缝合为文化“拼贴被”的隐喻构想。本文从性别和女性主义文学批评角度,探讨“拼贴被”的隐喻构想与美国女性主义文学批评的互动与影响,以求打开女性主义批评文本的外延,在性别研究、妇女文学史、文化研究等学科之间寻找一条“共同的丝线”。     

Who is this we that gives the gift? Native American Political Theory and The Western Tradition

Abstract

The allocation of self-determination rights to minority groups is a highly charged issue around the world, but the difficulties are particularly acute in the case of indigenous peoples within the white settler states. While liberal multiculturalism offers a ‘solution’ to this ‘problem of diversity’ through a system of differentiated citizenship rights, this comes only at the expense of excluding dissenting voices from the intercultural dialogue. Through an engagement with the multi-faceted critique of liberal multiculturalism advanced by Native American political theory, the limits of the recognition paradigm are identified, and the possibilities offered by a reconstructed Proudhonian federalism are described.     

Going Down on Good Neighbours: Imagining América in Hollywood Movies of the 1930s and 1940s (Flying Down to Rio and Down Argentine Way)

During the Good Neighbor Era of the 1930s and 1940s, the USA sought to normalise relations with Latin America in order to promote hemispheric unity, particularly so after the outbreak of the Second World War, which provoked anxiety about transatlantic trade routes and South American attitudes towards the Axis. An Office of the Co-ordinator of Inter-American Affairs was established, which in turn set up a Motion Picture Division. The Division pressed for a Latin American specialist to monitor and control representations of Latin America via the Production Code Administration. The attempt to promote positive portrayals of Latin Americans assisted a boom in musical comedies dealing with North Americans visiting their southern neighbours. This article examines an early precursor, Flying Down to Rio (1933), and a full-blown Good Neighbor movie, Down Argentine Way (1940). The article uncovers, behind the optimistic projection of neighbourliness, hidden tensions and deep-rooted anxieties about American identities.     

北美投资移民立法之启迪

各国制定移民法的宗旨为：通过立法对移民的规模、构成、素质以及经济能力进行调控，以达到为本国政治、经济和安全各项利益服务的目的。因此，各国移民法的共同特点是在体现迁徙自由和人道主义的国际法原则下，以最低成本吸引他国专业技术人才和资本，从而促进本国社会和经济的发展。其中，近年以美国、加拿大及其魁北克省为代表的投资移民立法就是这种趋势的典型反映。因此，笔者拟就北美国家关于投资移民的立法进行比较评析，同时研讨中国关于投资移民立法的前景。     

个性化、多元化教育与创新性人才的培养--哈佛、耶鲁的本科课程制度及其启示

在规模化教育过程中实现个性化与创新性人才的培养,哈佛、耶鲁等美国高校在本科课程设置与培养制度方面的经验值得借鉴。通过课程的自由选择与组合,学生形成各不相同的知识结构与创新意识,并且提供制度路径来鼓励学生自我探索和设计新的课程与未知专业;融入人性化与人文关怀,注重个性化与多元文化的感悟和体验。各高校直接面向市场与社会,其竞争与不拘一格使美国的多元化教育与创新性人才更呈现千姿百态的格局。     

地区构成的世界——卡赞斯坦的地区主义理论

从地区视角来建立国际体系理论是国际政治理论一个新的发展方向。卡赞斯坦创造性地以地区为单位建立了地区世界的理论。其基本观点是,以多孔化地区为基本单位的美国帝权体系已基本成形,该体系处于地区化、国际化和全球化的进程之中,体系与单位在三种进程中、在帝权-核心国家-地区的纵向联系中相互塑造和重塑,其中包含了重要的社会性关系。“地区构成的世界”进一步丰富和发展了单位层面的建构主义理论,但是在基本假定、分析框架和逻辑结构中都存在明显的缺陷。
