Dissident Irish Republican Violence: A Resurgent Threat?

This article considers the resurgence in dissident Irish republican violent activity in the years since 2007. It examines the reasons why this has occurred, citing the significance of ‘intra’ republican political developments, alongside important ‘secondary’ factors, such as the death of influential republicans Brendan Hughes and Brian Keenan. It concludes by noting that the dissident threat seems likely to exist for the foreseeable future, but also emphasises the limits of what they can expect to achieve, with there being little prospect of their emulating the Provisional IRA.     

电子政务环境下政府信息资源共建共享运行机制研究——以吉林省为视角

建构碳金融运行机制支持吉林省低碳经济发展

发展低碳经济乃全球社会经济发展的大势所趋,是未来应对气候变化的国际制度背景下各国形成竞争优势的新平台。吉林省在向低碳经济转型过程中存在着重化工业比重大,能源压力大,距离低碳经济目标差距较大,碳金融框架制度安排匮乏,缺少碳金融的有力支持等问题;目前吉林省发展低碳经济的主要手段还是行政手段,市场机制尚未建立起来,作为碳市场重要组成部分的碳金融机制也处于萌芽阶段。因此,需要建构碳金融运行机制实现经济发展方式的转型,出台建构碳金融机制的配套政策。     

Managing Orderly Decline? Nationalism in Northern Ireland Since the Good Friday Agreement (1998)

The 2016 Northern Ireland Assembly election highlighted substantive issues within nationalism. Both the main nationalist parties, the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and Sinn Féin, recorded the worst combined vote for over 20 years. This article suggests that the downturn in nationalist support was years in the making and examines why nationalist voters might be turning away from the ballot box. It considers the various factors that underlined both parties' approach to consecutive electoral tests from 1998 until 2016, showing how Sinn Féin replaced the SDLP as the leading force within nationalism, and concluding that new leadership may yet halt the process of orderly decline.     

Vox populi or vox masculini? Populism and gender in Northern Europe and South America

ABSTRACT

Conceptually, populism has no specific relationship to gender; in fact, gender differences, like all other differences within ‘the people’, are considered secondary, if not irrelevant, to populist politics. Yet populist actors do not operate in a cultural or ideological vacuum. So perhaps it is the national culture and broader ideology used by populists that determine their gender position. To explore this argument, we compare prototypical cases of contemporary populist forces in two regions: the Dutch Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV, Party for Freedom) and the Dansk Folkeparti (DF, Danish People's Party) in Northern Europe, and the Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV, United Socialist Party of Venezuela) and the Bolivian Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS, Movement for Socialism) in South America. Populists in Northern Europe are predominantly right-wing, yet mobilize within highly emancipated societies, while populists in South America are mainly left-wing and mobilize in strongly patriarchal societies. Our analysis provides a somewhat muddled picture. Although populists do not necessarily have a clear view on gender issues, the latter are clearly influenced by ideology and region. While left-wing populists tend to be relatively progressive within their traditional South American context, right-wing populists mainly defend the status quo in their progressive Northern European context. However, in absolute terms, the relatively high level of gender equality already achieved in Northern Europe is at least as advanced as the one proposed by the populists in South America.

山西省大力发展高附加值加工业的思考

山西转变经济发展方式、调整优化产业结构的着力点应放在发展高附加值加工业上。由于加工业还没有充分体现出我省的资源优势，结构层次较低、生产规模较小，因此，要做大做强我省加工业，重点应按照比较优势和市场需求，统筹规划核心资源，着力培育品牌产品，确立产业组织形式，同时，要不断改革体制机制，增强加工业发展的动力。     

关于我省未成年人犯罪的调查与思考

九十年代以来,吉林省未成年人犯罪人数和案件数所占比重均较大,整体上呈逐年增加的趋势。在犯罪成员的构成、犯罪意图的产生、犯罪的手段、犯罪主体的年龄、犯罪侵害的客体几个方面呈现未成年人犯罪的突出特点。不良微观社会环境因素的影响是导致未成年人犯罪的主要原因。     

青海省农业区主要猪病的流行病学调查

采用ELISA检测方法和流行病学调查方法,于2004~2005年对青海省互助、湟中、大通、乐都、民和、西宁6县(市)的142个规模养猪场和部分养殖户进行了猪瘟、猪生殖与呼吸综合征、猪圆环病毒2型感染、伪狂犬病等流行状况的调查。结果显示,猪瘟、猪生殖与呼吸综合征、猪圆环病毒2型感染、伪狂犬病在青海省农业区普遍存在,6县(市)之间血清抗体阳性率无明显差异;母猪繁殖障碍覆盖了所有种猪场,后备母猪不发情率约为8.2%,产死胎、木乃伊、弱仔的母猪占繁殖母猪的21%左右;猪瘟仍然是引起当地猪死亡的主要原因。
