论我国渤海地区的环境状况及其环境立法的设想与完善

近10年来,我国渤海地区的环境污染问题正不断引起各方面的高度重视,海区及其周边区域的生态环境正面临着越来越大的压力。其形成原因是多方面的。环境问题增大了环渤海地区经济发展的成本,不利于本地区经济的可持续发展,对本地区吸引投资不利。但其环境立法具有社会经济、政策、法制等诸多可行和有利因素。目前可以提倡制定一部单独的《环渤海区域环境保护特别法》,对渤海海域的环境污染和生态破坏作出综合治理的规定。     

基于综合保税区的内陆开放平台体系建设

综合保税区叠加整合了此前各类特殊监管区域的全部功能和政策。在内陆设立综合保税区是建设开放平台体系、构筑开放高地的重大机遇。这些机遇集中体现在"三个有利于"。要加快内陆开放平台体系建设,应当借鉴先进经验,从加快综合保税区基础设施建设、加快建设无水港、虚拟空港、公路口岸、内河港口等方面,因地制宜采取有效措施。     

行政壁垒、市场分割对区域协调发展的影响分析——以西北五省(区)为例

文章首先对行政壁垒、市场分割对区域协调发展的影响进行理论分析,然后重点实证分析了2002—2011年西北5省区之间行政壁垒、市场分割对西北地区协调发展的影响状况。结果表明:虽然西北5省区经济趋同明显,但行政壁垒显著阻碍了各省区经济合作,长期看不利于西北5省区经济的协调发展。据此,提出西北地区应采取三步走的策略,逐步推进市场一体化进程,促进区域协调发展的实现。     

Adapting to Europe? Regional MPs' Involvement in EU Affairs in Germany

The Lisbon Treaty has led to an expansion of the rights of parliaments in scrutinizing EU decision making, including—for the first time—also regional parliaments. Yet, theoretically informed empirical work on how regional legislatures adapt to the increasing relevance of the EU for subnational jurisdictions remains scarce. Drawing on data from an original survey of 251 MPs, conducted in seven German Länder in 2011, we explore regional MPs' involvement in EU affairs. We find strong variation among MPs' level of EU involvement. Exploring different sets of explanations, we show that individual-level factors—the perceived salience of the EU and MPs' perceived influence in EU matters—hold the highest explanatory power.     

An Examination of Local Climate Change Policies in the Great Plains

As the United States struggles with national solutions to address climate change, state and local governments have become leaders in both mitigation and adaptation policy. Although a significant and growing body of research targets these policies, most studies have assumed common factors motivating both adaptation and mitigation policy adoption. There remains a need for more research on cities of all sizes, their adoption of specific local policies, the factors motivating those choices, and whether the influences for mitigation differ from those that motivate adaptation. The paper uses data from a new survey of over 200 local governments in eleven states of the Great Plains region, including measures distinguishing between mitigation and adaptation policies. These data are employed to test the relative influence of factors from three areas: the policy environment, the attitudes of governmental actors, and community atmosphere, in explaining observed variation in the adoption of climate change policies.     

Security governance in a comparative regional perspective

This article aims to explore the relationship between domestic economic and political conditions and the performance of 14 regional organizations over a range of security provisions. It argues that the willingness of member states to increase the range of security provisions of a regional organization is influenced by the combination of high levels of economic and political development and low levels of dispersion among the members of a regional organization. In order to evaluate this assumption, two aspects of regional organizations are explored. The first is to examine the development of security governance provisions of 14 regional organizations as well as the levels of empowerment or autonomy of those organizations. The second is to analyze how six economic and political variables influence the range of security provisions and the degree of empowerment of regional organizations. The final part of the article examines how regional organizations play a significant role in stimulating and reproducing regional governance orders.     

基于语料库的“普通话”地域性言语识别技术

目的探究汉语＂普通话＂中的地域性差别,发现言语特征,找到从有限的以普通话发音的语音材料中提取出更多地域性特征的途径和方法,提高地域性言语识别技术水平,更有效地为案件分析定向服务。方法在建立较大规模的《面向案件言语识别应用的汉语＂普通话＂语料库》及查询检索系统的基础上,进行统计分析、归纳总结。结果人们说普通话时会在声母、韵母、声调、重音、儿化、轻声等语音方面和词汇、语法等方面不同程度地出现其母语方言的固有特点。我们可以采用＂以调值特征为中心,声韵特征相结合＂、＂利用各类特征的总和进行综合评断＂等方法进行识别。结论利用＂普通话＂语声进行言语人地域性识别是一种切实可行的技术方法。

Count us! Ethnic Activism in South-Eastern Estonia,and the Census of 2011

The ethnic activists of south Estonia (the Seto and Võro movements), challenging traditional concepts of the Estonian nation, tried to exploit the last national census (2011) for their cause, but were only partly successful because of opposition from decision-makers at Statistics Estonia, who have demonstrated a spontaneous conservatism in regard to questions of ethnicity and language. The government’s response to the initiatives of the ethnic activists was inconsistent, passive, and reactive. This matter has simply not been thought through at the state level.
