Migrant deaths along the California-Mexico border: an anthropological perspective

California shares a 150-mile international border with Mexico. Traditionally, this border has seen non-stop illegal migration. In the 1990s, the Border Patrol began a concerted effort to establish and maintain control of the border, beginning in urban San Diego. This heightened law enforcement presence, known as Operation Gatekeeper, changed the westernmost segment of the border from the most permeable to the least permeable. This enforcement pushed migrants into more dangerous crossing areas in eastern San Diego and Imperial Counties, making their trip longer and more physically challenging as they made their way through treacherous mountains, deserts, and irrigation canals. Death rates soared. Political decisions impacted human lives and the caseloads of forensic anthropologists in jurisdictions along the border. Bodies decompose rapidly here, and there are minimal sources of antemortem data. Many of these migrants are never identified. This paper, and this symposium, is an attempt to bring this situation to the notice of other anthropologists and to discuss cooperative means of addressing the issue of identification.     

全球金融法的诞生

全球金融业长期以来由作为国际软法的国际金融监管标准而非国际公约予以规范,但多次金融危机反映了不完善的全球金融治理下产生的国际金融监管标准难以预防金融危机的发生。2008年后随着以20国集团首脑峰会为核心的全球金融治理的重构,首脑峰会承认的国际金融监管标准具有了作为法所需要的国家意志性、正当性和强制性,这些国际金融监管标准也成为了全球金融法。     

The Recent Appearance of Favelas in São Paulo City: an Old Problem in a New Setting

Abstract— While favelas have been an important feature of many Brazilian cities over the past 50 years, they were relatively insignificant in São Paulo until the mid- 1970s. Since then, São Paulo's favelas have experienced a dramatic expansion and some estimates now put their total population in the region of two million. This article examines potential explanations for this sudden change, including migration, changes in the housing market, relative prices and state intervention.     

全球法律一体化的理论反思

全球法律一体化问题是法律全球化问题的一个重要方面。21世纪，全球法律正处于空前的融合发展阶段，世界各国和地区之间法律的互相影响甚至趋同化趋势勾勒出了前所未见的全球法律发展图景。但是，立足于历史和现实．我们既要看到一体化给世界法律发展提供的契机，也要看到一体化之下隐藏着对公平、正义、本土资源甚至和平与稳定的重大挑战。本文从“一体化”的危机意识入手探求和谐发展法律全球化之路。     

Sovereignty, Migration and the Rule of Law in Global Times

This article argues that in the present era of globalisation, control over the movement of people has become the last bastion of sovereignty. This is important both to theoretical accounts of globalisation and to policy decisions by governments. Nation states threatened with loss of control in other realms are implementing a variety of 'crackdown' measures in questions of immigration. Issues of refugee law, illegal migration and skilled migration each challenge sovereignty in specific ways. While international human rights standards have made few inroads in questions of migration, recent decisions in England and Australia suggest that the rule of law may be emerging as a counter to traditional executive free reign in matters of migration law.     

Of legitimacy,legality and public affairs

This paper argues that legality is not enough and that sound public affairs underpins the legitimacy of a political system. It examines the impact of lost legitimacy on Tony Blair, President Bush and America's foreign policy. The author draws historical comparisons between Britain in the Middle East in the 1920s and the USA's problems today and suggests that the fundamental problem is the lack of legitimacy in the region's politics. The paper concludes by asserting that the legitimacy of the EU political system will be endangered while public understanding of its institutions remains limited.

Citizenship,Migration and the Reassertion of National Identity

Faced with increasing and diverse migratory pressures in the post Cold War period, European states have created an increasingly complex system of civic stratifications with differential access to civil, economic and social rights depending on mode of entry, residence and employment. Now at the beginning of the twenty-first century, expansion and contraction of rights have occurred within a managerialist approach which, though recognising the need for immigration, applies an economic and political calculus not only to labour migration but also to forms of migration more closely aligned to normative principles and human rights, such as family formation and reunification and asylum. At the same time, states are demanding affirmation of belonging and loyalty, leading to greater emphasis on obligations in the practice of citizenship. The first part of the paper traces the evolution of a managerialist regime and its consequences for the reconfiguration of spaces of citizenship. The second section examines the development of new contracts of settlement and the management of diversity as the state reasserts its national identity and sovereignty.     

中西伦理传统与全球伦理

全球伦理虽然由西方的宗教界人士首先提出，但它反映了人类共同的心声，并且是从人类已有的伦理传统中汲取了养料。不过，东西方，特别是中西之间对此问题的看法还是存在相当程度的差异。本力图从哲学方法、思想渊源、实现途径等方面对此做出分析。
