美国霸权的文化根源和理论支柱

美国霸权的形成除了依赖其强大的综合国力外,还有其深远的文化根源和历史积淀,即霸道意识、天赋使命、实用主义。美国霸权以新干涉主义、霸权稳定论、民主和平论和新帝国主义论为理论支柱。从本质上讲,这些理论的背后,是美国美国要用一切手段把他们自认为是最好的社会制度和价值观念强制推行到世界的每个角落,要在全球范围内最大限度地维护美国的国家利益。

The Mechanics of Cultural Diplomacy: A Comparative Case Study Analysis from the European Context

The National Institutes for Culture have not attracted much scholarly attention examining their managerial practices. The aim of this article is to explore how the state expresses its agency over the Cultural Institutes of six European countries: the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, and Greece. Agency presents varying modalities, making instrumentalism more multifaceted than has been implied so far. The authors are introducing here a framework of five “touchpoints” to capture and analyze instrumentalism in cultural diplomacy. Funding, agenda setting, evaluation, hierarchy, and appointment power constitute the typical system of interactions between the Cultural Institutes and their reporting authorities.     

Nonprofit Cultural Alliances: Initiatory Qualitative and Empirical Examinations of an Emergent U.S. Phenomenon

This study examines the recent spontaneous emergence of nonprofit cultural alliance organizations in the U.S. Cultural alliances are community-based associations, formed by arts/cultural organization members, which provide member interaction, collaboration, networking, resource sharing, and professional education opportunities. This research accomplishes three objectives: (1) generation of a body of knowledge about cultural alliances, (2) development of a cultural alliance member satisfaction model, and (3) quantitative analysis of member survey data to assess services provided, service quality, and member satisfaction. The results indicate that the survey instrument is an important assessment tool for use by association boards of directors and executive directors.     

非物质文化遗产保护与知识产权制度的兼容与互动

非物质文化遗产是人们在认识自然和改造自然中所形成的文化与社会实践方面的信息及利益,其客体具有无形性的特点.尽管非物质文化遗产的具体内涵在其表征上与传统的知识产权客体存在较大的差异,但从知识产权视角看来,在宏观框架下寻求知识产权制度的保护并非不可逾越.实际上,非物质文化遗产的保护机制与知识产权制度存在一定程度的兼容性,可以通过对现行知识产权制度予以适当变革实现对非物质遗产的法律保护,从而促进我国非物质文化遗产的传承和创新.

Free trade agreements and “economic territory” as a geoeconomic imaginary in South Korea

Since the early 2000s, the discourse of “economic territory” has surfaced in conjunction with economic neoliberalization in South Korea. This paper argues that economic territory as a geoeconomic imaginary not only facilitated the expansion of free trade agreements as an accumulation strategy but also served as a hegemonic project which masked the nature of an accumulation strategy as a class project and consolidated political legitimacy by manipulating nationalism. To examine this linkage, it critically draws upon the idea of cultural political economy (CPE) developed by Lancaster-based sociologists Bob Jessop and Ngai-Ling Sum. This paper offers a fresh and more substantial interpretation of South Korea’s political economy and opens up new analytical space for CPE.
