A Tale of Two Families: The Mutual Construction of 'Anglo' and Mexican Ethnicities Along the US–Mexico Border

In the American Southwest and along the US–Mexico border, 'Anglos' and Mexicans are often viewed as the quintessential 'others'. This ethnographic study problematises the Anglo‐Mexican opposition with ethnographic data from interviews with a Mexican farmworker family and an 'Anglo' farmer family of the EI Paso Lower Valley. I argue that 'Anglo' hegemony is not based exclusively on cultural separation but often involves hybridity (including 'Mexicanisation') and patron‐client relations entailing 'benevolent' paternalism. I show how the concept of 'Anglo' is a contested identity constructed through interactions between Mexicans and Euroamericans. Through this study of border crossings in situations of asymmetrical power relations, I advocate a 'complicit' anthropology that presents competing ethnic groups in their full complexity rather than as stereotypes or caricatures of their 'others.'     

清代中俄恰克图边境早期官制考

雍正年间,中俄开恰克图为边境贸易口岸,并开始设官进行管理。随着中俄经济、政治联系的加强,与之相适应的边境管理体制也逐渐形成。两国管理体制在恰克图贸易早期的服务宗旨是不同的:俄方用来打击边境非法贸易,保障对华正常贸易,以充实国库;中方则更关注边境地区的稳定,利用自己的管理体制监督蒙古人越界逃入俄境。     

The Rescaling of the Chinese State and Sino-North Korean Relations: Beyond State-Centrism

While Beijing has repeatedly signed up to multilateral sanctions against North Korea, it is widely regarded as having failed to enforce them. Indeed, China’s deepening economic engagement with the country has led observers to debate the causes of this seemingly duplicitous approach. Constructivist and realist approaches have relied on state-centric frameworks that serve to reduce Sino-North Korean relations to the high politics of Beijing-Pyongyang diplomacy in the context of broader geopolitical dynamics. This article argues that such approaches pay insufficient attention to the profound rescaling of the Chinese state in recent years and the implications this process has for bilateral relations. This article sheds light on how Sino-North Korean relations are being driven by actors at multiple scales and by a multitude of objectives as a result of decentralisation and marketisation alongside increasing geographical unevenness within China and new challenges to continued capital accumulation. North Korea has come to play an increasingly important role in efforts to facilitate economic recovery in the northeastern border regions through serving as spatial fix for Chinese manufacturing capital. These new cross-border flows of capital and labour suggest an emerging pattern of Sino-North Korean relations that is by no means static but in considerable flux.

论处置边境突发事件中的指挥控制

边境突发事件具有影响大、蔓延快、突发性强、涉及面广等特点，一旦在处置指挥中出现较大问题，其后果不可预测。因此严密组织、灵活指挥是成功处突的关键。指挥控制是指在指挥过程中指挥员及其指挥机关为实现处置行动决心进行的掌握处置现场情况，调控处置行动，落实处置行动计划的活动。其在处置行动中发挥协调多方力量，维护整体合力，纠正行动偏差，调整处置任务以及加强信息交流，促进部队凝聚的作用。本文主要对处置边境突发事件中指挥控制的作用、内容、程序以及要求进行简要分析，以提高部队处突成效。
