加入WTO:政府需要做什么

随着加入世贸组织时间的日益临近,中国政府如何适应新形势的变化,值得引起人们的重视.本文从五个方面分析了政府所持的态度与应采取的措施:树立正确的入世观;转变与增强政府职能,全面提升政府管理能力;普及WTO专业知识,培养高素质的专业人才;用好反倾销和反倾销应对这两种武器;制订和修改有关法律法规和规章.为适应经济全球化的发展趋势,政府需要把外部的压力转化为内部的动力,积极主动地进行体制变革,提高国家综合国力和竞争力,加快中国现代化建设的进程.     

国家安全：问题、逻辑及其学科建设

国家安全概念和国家安全问题的提出为国家安全理论和国家安全学学科的构建奠定了基础。凡是对国家利益特别是核心利益和其他重大利益的安全状态和维护这种安全状态的安全能力造成危险和威胁,并被列为国家安全议程的问题就是国家安全问题。国家安全问题具有两个内在逻辑:客观性和主观性并存,它既是客观的存在,也是主观感受的结果;国家安全问题不是源生的而是衍生的。国家安全问题的内在逻辑使国家安全学学科具有独特的"横切延伸性"特点,正是这种"横切延伸性"使国家安全学学科成为一门具有典型兼容性、应用性、跨学科、交叉性的新兴独立学科。它与政治、经济、社会、文化、军事、信息、生态、太空和气象等学科密切相关。作为一级学科的国家安全学,其二级学科方向应设定为国家安全学理论、国家安全战略与政策、国家安全法治、国家安全管理、国家安全情报研究与实践以及国家安全网络空间技术。国家安全学学科建设不可能一蹴而就,其路径是国家顶层设计、政策引导、试点先行、有序展开。     

Bad math: calculating bodily capacity in Cassils’s Cuts: A Traditional Sculpture

This article reads Cassils’ 2011 durational performance piece Cuts: A Traditional Sculpture alongside the messy arithmetic of Karl Marx’s Grundrisse in order to ask after the place of measurement within theories of bodily capacity and living labor.     

“Scientific independence”, capacity building,and the development of UNESCO’s science and technology agenda for Africa

Abstract

This article analyses the shifting rationales for scientific collaboration in the work of the United Nations Economic, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the science sector in Africa from the late colonial period through to the era of capacity building. Focusing on the late colonial period and the post-independence decades of “national science” in Africa, it analyses UNESCO’s role in science policy, engineering training, and natural resources research. It demonstrates that in the era of national science UNESCO’s activities were couched in the language of independence: developing capacities in the sciences was regarded as the key to obtaining “scientific independence” to match the recently obtained political independence. This marked a significant change from the 1950s when UNESCO based its operations in Africa on collaborations with the European colonial powers. The article argues that the link between scientific independence and political self-determination gave way as UNESCO rebranded scientific capacity-building activities as efforts in the pursuit of an unclearly-defined common good.     

African biomedical scientists and the promises of “big science”

Abstract

An ongoing genomic revolution in biology has exponentially increased the rate, possibilities, scope and cost of biological research. Infectious disease genomics are often justified by the potential they have to ameliorate Africa’s disease burden. The molecular biology revolution that preceded genomic science widened the gap between the skill sets of many African biologists and their contemporaries elsewhere. Gap closure through genomics and the application of genomic data to health problems requires participation of, and leadership from, African scientists. However, few African scientists participate in genomics, and providing biological samples is their predominant contribution. Health-related applications are emerging from genomic activity for some infectious diseases that are endemic in Africa but not for many others. This article argues that the arrival of next-generation diagnostics, surveillance tools, drugs and vaccines could be accelerated by improving the nature and degree of participation of African scientists in genomic and post-genomic inquiry.

关于我国刑事责任能力理论的探析

刑事责任能力是刑法理论中重要概念之一。对于刑事责任能力的定义,我国学界主要有刑事责任能力是犯罪能力、刑事责任能力是承担刑事责任的能力和刑事责任能力是犯罪能力和刑事责任能力的统一三种观点。本文在对相关观点进行分析与反思的基础之上,提出我国的刑事责任能力概念应当是犯罪能力和影响刑事责任能力的统一。     

The impact of recidivism and capacity on prison populations

Prison crowding currently poses a serious problem for society. This problem is attributable to a failure to anticipate and plan for the increased numbers of individuals sentenced to prison over the last decade. Crowded prisons have forced many jurisdictions to release prisoners earlier than would have been the case with unlimited prison capacity and to initiate expensive prison construction programs. In this paper, we develop a prison population projection model that extends previous work by considering the impact of limited prison capacity on time served, releases, and future admissions. The model was demonstrated for the State of North Carolina. Results suggest the tradeoffs that exist between prison capacity and punitiveness as measured by time served in prison.Points of view are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of the U.S. Department of Justice.
