边境地区境外边民跨境（违法）犯罪活动研究

随着我国改革开放的不断发展,边境地区边民往来逐渐频繁,境外边民跨境（违法）犯罪这种颇具区域性色彩的犯罪形式也随之出现日益严重的势头。研究和打击跨境（违法）犯罪具有其独特的必要性和紧迫性,本文从我国具有代表性的几个边境地区现实情况出发,研究境外边民跨境（违法）犯罪的概念、成因、类型、打击难度和打击防范对策等相关问题,旨在对惩治境外边民跨境（违法）犯罪实践提供有益的理论指导。     

云南边境地区跨国警务合作途径探析

云南地处我国西南边陲,在同邻国开展警务合作过程中存在着体制和理念差异、法律法规缺失、经济发展不均等问题,导致合作力量不对等。在国家警务合作方面,美国与加拿大、中国与俄罗斯都有值得借鉴的经验。深化中国云南地区开展跨国警务合作途径,相互之间应签订法律、构建机制,建立高效顺畅的警务联络系统,注重情报的交流与共享,加强对执法人员的培训与文化交流,以促进警务合作的深化,共同防范与打击边境地区违法犯罪活动。

明代湘黔边"苗疆""堡哨""边墙"考

本文对湘黔边一带史称"苗疆"的苗族聚居区在明代年设的"堡哨"、"边墙"的历史沿革和作用进行了考察分析,认为"堡哨"、"边墙"是苗族人民顽强斗争的结果,客观上使当地苗族文化得以保存和传承.     

清代湘黔边"苗防"考略

本文对清王朝控制和统治湘黔边"苗疆"及其"生苗"的政策,即"苗防"政策措施作了历史的考评.认为清朝统治者继承了明代的军事圈围、封锁和隔离政策,但同时在"苗疆"建治设官、兴教办学、实行"化导"政策,这又与明代有明显区别.而清王朝的政策,在其前期和后期,自身也有很大变化.屯堡碉卡和"边墙"有"防"的作用,但主要的功能是军事镇压和攻战;"边墙"所区分的只是苗、汉生活区域和田土耕种范围,是明、清王朝在自己疆域内对不统治区的划分,以分而治之.这在性质上与中国古代"长城"完全不同.     

Immigration in the Life Histories of Women Living in the United States-Mexico Border Region

Abstract

This paper focuses on the role that immigration plays in the lives of very low-income women living along the United States-Mexico border. Life here is distinct from that in any other part of the United States, due to the international, social, political, and economic interdependence that characterizes this region. Thus, from the perspective of migration as a social process, this “contact zone” can provide insight on migration issues that occur within a transborder context. Based on life history interviews and focus groups with women living in two adjoining border cities, Brownsville, Texas and Matamoros, Tamaulipas, we observed the trajectories of women at two points of the migration course: (a) migration from the interior of Mexico to the northern border and (b) emigration across the international boundary to the United States. The study shows that although these women held expectations that migration would improve their lives and the lives of their families, their social and economic integration in the border region met with limited success.     

Impossible protest: noborders in Calais

Since the closure of the Red Cross refugee reception centre in Sangatte, undocumented migrants in Calais hoping to cross the border to Britain have been forced to take refuge in a number of squatted migrant camps, locally known by all as ‘the jungles.’ Unauthorised shanty-like residences built by the migrants themselves, living conditions in the camps are very poor. In June 2009, European ‘noborder’ activists set up a week-long protest camp in the area with the intention of confronting the authorities over their treatment of undocumented migrants. In this article, we analyse the June 2009 noborder camp as an instance of ‘immigrant protest.’ Drawing on ethnographic materials and Jacques Rancière's work on politics and aesthetics, we construct a typology of forms of border control through which to analyse the different ways in which the politics of the noborder camp were staged, performed and policed. Developing a critique of policing practices which threatened to make immigrant protest ‘impossible’, we highlight moments of protest which, through the affirmation of an ‘axiomatic’ equality, disrupted and disarticulated the borders between citizens and non-citizens, the political and non-political.     

Compact,Walkable, Diverse Neighborhoods:Assessing Effects on Residents

What research supports the view that compact, walkable, diverse (CWD) neighborhoods are beneficial for urban residents? To make this assessment, we searched the literature to try to understand the current status of evidence regarding claims about the CWD neighborhood. We find that research linking CWD neighborhoods to effects on residents coalesces around three main topics: social relations, health, and safety. We conclude that on the basis of the literature reviewed, most of the intended benefits of the CWD neighborhood have been researched and found to have significant, positive effects for urban dwellers. While physical factors are but one element affecting behavior and outcomes, and the issues of self-selection and causality remain, overall, key dimensions of the CWD neighborhood have been found to positively affect social interaction, health, and safety.
