1899-1900年东南亚华商的“勤王”活动——读澳门《知新报》的有关报道

维新派发动东南亚华商通电“勤王”,是海外侨胞在历史上第一次关心国内政治的重要活动。维新派在海外宣传,兴学办报,促进了海外侨胞的民族觉醒。但是,资产阶级改良派后来沦为保皇派,站在革命派的对立面,它不可能把华侨引上正确的道路。进一步启发华侨的民族主义觉悟的任务,历史地落在中国同盟会的身上。

Adult learning and literacy learning for livelihoods: some international perspectives

Reflecting contemporary interest in developing new adult literacy learning programmes based on ‘literacy for livelihoods’, this article examines some case studies from New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Egypt, illustrating literacy being used in livelihoods, and relates these to the kind of literacy being taught in many adult literacy programmes today. It argues that people often change their livelihoods, and that each livelihood has literacy practices embedded within it. The authors suggest that the use of these literacy practices embedded within the livelihood activities might be a better starting point for adult literacy learning than a school-based textbook.     

Indigenous floating cultivation: a sustainable agricultural practice in the wetlands of Bangladesh

Floating-bed cultivation has proved a successful means to produce agricultural crops in various wetland areas of the world. In freshwater lakes and wetlands, vegetables, flowers, and seedlings are grown in Bangladesh using this floating cultivation technique, without any additional irrigation or chemical fertiliser. No detailed study of this indigenous cultivation technique has been published to date, although the laboratory method, hydroponics, is well documented in the professional literature. Our study is focused on the nature and characteristics of the Bangladeshi system, where local farmers have demonstrated the potential for the sustainable use of such common-property local water resources. We seek to establish a reference point for further research into this technique for its possible refinement and an assessment of its suitability for replication.     

东南亚的青铜时代文化与古代铜鼓综述

青铜时代是继石器时代之后,人类历史发展道路上的一个重要阶段。进入20世纪70年代后,随着东南亚地区考古发掘资料的丰富,出土的青铜器物日渐增多,许多学者认识到,东南亚地区确实存在一个时间持续相当长、年代也较早的青铜文化时代。古代铜鼓代表着东南亚青铜时代繁荣的顶峰,至今在东南亚社会仍可见其踪迹。

The Limits of Peace: Third Parties in Civil Wars in Southeast Asia, 1993–2004

At of the end of 2005, Asia had the highest number of active civil war dyads. The number of active dyads in other regions was either low or declining. Africa, in particular, experienced a sharp drop in the number of active dyads from 2001 to 2005. Civil wars in Asia also last longer than wars in other regions. With a high number of warring dyads fighting in long wars, the expectation would be that the region would be the focus of third-party conflict management, but this is not the case. In this article, we use an original data set to take a closer look at this gap in expectations by focusing on third-party efforts in Southeast Asia between 1993 and 2004. Bilateral talks were the most common form of third-party engagement, but mediation has been the most likely form to lead to agreements between warring parties. We conclude the article with a discussion of the policy implications of this research.     

东西伯利亚和远东的煤炭工业

俄罗斯东西伯利亚和远东地区煤炭工业企业在1994年以后进行了资产重组,关闭了一批亏损严重的煤矿。尽管中央和地方政府都制定了一系列经济和能源发展纲要,但收效甚微。一些长期困扰煤炭工业的老大难问题仍未解决,诸如投资乏力、铁路运价过高、拖欠购煤款等。而这些问题不解决,新煤矿的开发建设、老煤矿的技术更新、磨损设备的修复或更换等都无从谈起。振兴煤炭工业的关键是政府加大宏观调控力度。     

雅尔塔会议前美苏远东战略与共同支蒋政策的形成

二战结束前夕,美苏从各自的远东利益出发,确立了共同支持蒋介石的政策。这一政策是美苏在远东地区战略互动的产物,虽然其政策本身存在着无法解决的内在矛盾,但它对当时中国以至整个远东地区政治形势的发展仍然产生了重大影响。     

东西伯利亚经济的发展

俄罗斯东西伯利亚地区在2001年主要经济指标继续保持了增长的趋势:工业产量增长6.4%、农业产量增长7%。投资乏力,生产性固定资产损耗严重,仍是制约该地区经济发展的老大难问题。同时,该地区预算收入依赖产品出口和有色金属国际市场价格波动的状况也没有改变。
