LETTERS

正When I was a teen,I saw for the fi rst time a Tang Dynasty clay fi gure of a person with dark skin and curly hair that was obviously not of Chinese ethnicity.Such people were referred to as Kunlun servants(as they worked as domestic help for the aristocracy),but actually came from beyond the mountain range of the same name that traverses Xinjiang and Tibet.Scientists are divided on their origins–Africa,India,Southeast or South Asia.These early migrants traveled to China with foreign diplomats and merchants via the Silk Road,testifying to extensive people-to-people,cultural and economic exchanges between China and the rest of the world more than1,000 years ago,facilitated by the ancient route.     

交通与西藏经济发展实证研究

交通在区域经济发展中起着至关重要的作用。西藏和平解放50多年来,国家对西藏投入巨资,形成了较为完善的立体交通网络体系,促进了西藏区域内外人流、物流的交流。西藏经济发展突破交通“瓶颈”的制约后持续增强,西藏经济发展与交通发展相关性很强。今后需要在西藏交通发展的财政资金制度及配套保障方面进一步制度深化,以促进经济的持续性发展。     

Tibetan translocalities: navigating urban opportunities and new ways of belonging in Tibetan pastoral communities in China

ABSTRACT

Urban development in Tibetan areas of China lags behind that of other non-coastal, rural areas and occurs at a significantly smaller scale due to remote and mountainous terrain and a lower population density. However, just as in the rest of China, urban development in Tibetan regions is characterized by an unevenness that constitutes and produces new translocal ties, as people belong to multiple localities at the same time. But Tibetan patterns of translocal ties are unique. For college-educated Tibetans, structural factors such as educational institutions and ethnic discrimination and affective factors such as attachment to home places powerfully shape the landscape of urban opportunities along ethnic lines. Instead of educational and employment structures enabling Tibetans to pursue economic opportunities in urban centers across the country, socio-ethnic inequalities and thick relational ties eventually bring many Tibetan graduates back to the urban centers administratively connected to their rural home places in Tibetan areas.

四川藏区农牧区未成年人发展权之实证分析———以甘孜藏族自治州为例简

随着四川藏区社会、经济和文化的发展,农牧区未成年人的发展权益保护有了很大的进步,但仍然面临着信息获取权益、休息娱乐权益、享受和睦家庭及父母教育指导权益等保障不足的问题.为了更好地保护农牧区未成年人的发展权益,应完善我国关于未成年人特别是民族地区未成年人发展权的法律制度,提高农牧区教师、家长及未成年人自己对未成年人发展权保护的意识,加强农牧区文化设施建设,整合“本土化”教材、教辅、图书及信息资源,对四川藏区的广播电视进行合理布局,发展藏汉双语的大众传媒.     

从习惯到法律：一个古老定律的现代诠释——以青海藏族的民商事规则为例

从习俗、规则到法律,这是法律形成的一般路径。但是在现代社会,由于立法路径的拓宽,通过法律移植而建立起来的制定法系统,往往忽略了法律的本土资源,即忽略了对本国民间习俗、规则,乃至习惯法的重视。其直接后果是,在某些领域国家法的缺失带来了民间规范的介入。因此,重新审视民间规范和传统法律体系的价值成为必要。对藏族民商事规则的调研说明,在现实生活中,民间规则和制定法自有生存空间,各有价值,并且彼此呼应,相互补充。只有将法律移植和本土资源有机结合起来,才能实现法治的整体价值。     

元代以来西藏与尼泊尔边境管理及边界划分

中国和尼泊尔是友好邻邦，历史上及新中国建立后，双方对边界的管理本着友好和协商一致的原则进行，保持了边界的安宁。本文从中国传统的治边思想以及历代王朝对边疆地区的经略的分析，说明藏尼边境管理及其边界的划定促进了祖国统一、民族安定和各民族的交流融合。西藏与尼泊尔边境管理与边界划定堪称典范，在经济全球化的今天，中尼双方正在实践和行使好国家领土的主权，实现中尼双方经济双赢和人民安居乐业。
