印度洋地区安全态势与印度洋海军论坛

随着近年来各种地缘因素尤其是海洋地缘政治因素的变化，印度洋地区已经决定性地处于世界地缘政治和地缘战略的前列，但它同时也被认为是当今世界上最为问题丛生和危险的区域之一。该地区在资源、人口、经济和环境安全方面的当务之急普遍地汇聚于海洋领域，海洋是沿岸国家和外来大国集体利益和交叉利益的焦点之所在。作为印度洋地区惟一聚焦于海洋安全的泛区域性合作组织，印度洋海军论坛已成为该地区海军和海岸警卫力量共同讨论海洋安全事务并寻找合作性解决方案的平台。然而，作为传统的海洋大国与正在崛起的海洋大国，美国和中国等在该地区有着重大利益的地区外国家均被论坛首倡国和主导国印度有意识地排斥在论坛之外，这与印度可能的地缘战略意图一脉相承：欲变印度洋为“印度之洋”。鉴于中国在印度洋具有重要的海洋利益，着眼未来，中国应当努力争取获得该论坛的常任观察员或正式成员国地位，着力倡导“和谐海洋”的思想，积极而稳妥地推动对于建设21世纪的“海上丝绸之路”这一宏伟构想的认识与实践，追求一种开放、包容、全面的海上安全秩序，在确保自身海上交通生命线尤其是至关紧要的能源进口安全的同时，为印度洋海域、亚洲乃至世界的持久安全、稳定和繁荣做出应有的贡献。     

论中国特色社会主义的精髓:走自己的路

走自己的路是中国特色社会主义的精髓。走自己的路有两个指向,最初是针对苏联提出来的,后来又有针对西方的意味。走自己的路有两层含义;走自己的路曾经侧重于"不"字,强调与他人的差别,而走自己的路的真谛是自主选择。只有国力的强大和理论的成熟,才能以我为主,真正地走自己的路。     

“Apartheid in a parka”? Roots and longevity of the Canada–South Africa comparison

Comparisons between Aboriginal policy in Canada and apartheid in South Africa appear frequently in public discourse, often with claims of actual links between the two systems. This paper interrogates these supposed links, using an analysis of land policy and the pass system in each country to demonstrate the improbability of the claims of direct influences. The paper then goes on to analyze the intellectual history of these comparisons, asking why they have been, and continue to be, made by many different actors in the face of a lack of historical evidence. The paper argues that the claims have served the needs of many different groups in different ways and thus maintained a hold despite their lack of historical foundation. However, good policy must be founded on clear analysis of history, and this paper argues that it is important to de-link South Africa and Canada, and understand oppression in each context on its own terms.     

A Grounded Theory of Korean Immigrants' Experiences of Re-Establishing Everyday Activities in New Zealand

This study explored how immigrants locate themselves in a new culture through analyzing 25 Korean immigrants' everyday activities in New Zealand. The findings suggest that they opted to either behave in Korean ways or to take up behaviors reflective of the receiving society, based on their level of control over activities disrupted by immigration. The findings supplement the concept of acculturation, explaining how 21st-century immigrants who retain transnational status engage in the acculturation process within a globalized context.     

《身见录》与《海国闻见录》之比较

鸦片战争以前中国人对世界的认识十分贫乏。康熙六十年（1721），山西人樊守义著《身见录》。雍正八年（1730），福建人陈伦炯著《海国闻见录》。这是18世纪上半叶中国人开眼看世界的珍贵文献。有必要从作者身世、写作背景、撰著经过、写作目的、内容特色等方面，对这两部书进行比较分析。     

国际非政府组织参与全球治理的合作路径及其对中国的启示——以澳大利亚国际非政府组织在印度洋海啸中的救援行动为案例

面对全球公共问题的不断涌现，国际非政府组织的作用日趋明显。澳大利亚国际非政府组织在印度洋海啸救灾中所谋求的同本国政府、联合国及其附属机构以及当地非政府组织的合作反映了国际非政府组织参与全球治理过程的基本路径。在多层次地重新建构中国的大国形象过程中，中国也应注意发挥非政府组织的作用。     

Homegrown Terrorism in the West

The London bombings in 2005 led to the perception that the terrorist threat had changed from external to internal. This became conceptualized shortly after as “homegrown terrorism.” This article deals with the meaning and scope of this phenomenon. We begin by tracing an ambiguity in the term “homegrown,” which is both about belonging in the West and autonomy from terrorist groups abroad. A quantitative study of Islamist terrorism in the West since 1989 reveals an increase in both internal and autonomous terrorism since 2003 and that most plots are now internal—but not autonomous. Finally we suggest that an increase in autonomous terrorism is a transitory phenomenon.     

Strategic Culture,Representations of Nuclear (In)Securities,and the Government of India: A Critical Constructivist Perspective

In this article, I use Alastair Johnston's concept of strategic culture re-visited through a critical constructivist perspective to analyze the representations of India's strategic culture and nuclear policy choices. In doing so, I explore how the representational practices of (and the mutually-constitutive relation between) India's nationalist identity/Self and its strategic environment, facilitated via its political leaders’ ideological lenses, have produced shifting representations of India's strategic environment to justify the nation's nuclear policy choices. In exploring this representational linkage between India's strategic environment and its nuclear (in)securities, I am cognizant that anarchy is a challenge facing India's task of nation-making and thus realism serves as a partially valid explanation for understanding the logic proliferation. Yet, my study demonstrates how culturally guided interpretations of what constitutes the Indian Self have divergently re-interpreted India's strategic environment and (in)securities to define the nation's nuclear policy choices.     

What Generates,Constitutes and Causes Opportunity-driven Violence? The Case of West Kalimantan

Abstract

This article uses the example of West Kalimantan to show some new ways of studying opportunities for violence, contributing especially to the so-called ‘sons of the soil’ conflict debate. By showing that the opportunity structure in West Kalimantan was not primarily material, but social, related to ways to circumvent fear of and norms against violence, this article attempts to update the theoretical premises of the traditional security studies approach to obstacles to conflict and opportunities for violence. The intention is to show how socially constructed realities are relevant in offering and denying opportunities for violence, and how the study of the meanings of actions reveals ways in which opportunities for violent demonstrative argumentation are born in local conflict discourses. The case study shows how powerful narratives enable the justification of violent action and how identities and violent policies mutually constitute each other. This way the empirical evidence calls for understanding the generative and constitutive sources of violence, which are not simply mechanistic causes of conflict.     

Working with Caribbean Immigrants After the World Trade Center Tragedy

SUMMARY

Caribbean immigrants were among those transfixed by the destruction and human suffering caused by the World Trade Center tragedy. An emergent cliché is that life will never be the same after September 11th. This study explores the issues that impact the health and well-being of English-speaking Caribbean immigrants and challenges social workers to reassess their intervention with immigrant populations in the Post 9/11 era.
