冲突与融合：中西文化交流的历史回顾

中国文化是中国各民族在长期共同生活中创造的,对世界产生过重大影响,中国文化与西方文化一同为人类文明进步作出了突出贡献。中西文化交流的历史十分悠久,无论是从明代“东学西渐”到“西学东渐”与“中学西传”的并行,还是到近代中西文化的交流,中西文化交流的历史始终是中西文化冲突与融合、输入与输出相随相伴的历史。因此,正确认识当代中西文化交流,对推进中国文化建设有重大的借鉴意义。     

论西周至春秋中晚期"士"的社会身份之发展演变--兼论《诗经》中士的生存状态

早期“士”首先由殷周之际较有权势的上层贵族,一变而成为周代礼乐制度规定下的低级贵族。同时,随着作为礼乐制度核心的宗法世袭制的动摇和封建制的逐渐崩溃。这一阶层在春秋中叶以后再次发生蜕变,并渐与庶人合流,形成一个新兴阶层。并在更为深远的意义上最终促进了以儒家为代表的中国传统知识分子的形成。     

近期美国升高西太平洋紧张局势的战略意图及其影响

随着美国全球战略重心加速东移,特别是在近期美国从伊拉克撤军与从阿富汗准备抽身而退之时,美国在亚太地区频频举行军事演习,尤其是美借天安舰之机,趁势强化美韩与美日同盟,并高调介入南海争端,与东南亚伙伴强化军事互动,积极谋求南海争端的国际化。美国正沿太平洋,从东北亚至东南亚一线,事实上形成了针对中国的战略围堵。美国近期升高西太平洋紧张局势的一系列举动并不是偶然的,而是冷战后美国全球战略重心从大西洋向太平洋转移的重要组成部分。奥巴马加速重返亚太的战略调整将对中国实施远海战略与拓展战略纵深以及推行和谐周边的外交战略产生冲击。     

从拆解到重构——西方女性主义对女性与自然关系的解读理路

基于女性和自然在西方政治文化中所遭遇的歧视性联姻,西方女性主义在如何对待女性与自然关系的问题上,虽然面临着多种立场选择,但从总的发展过程来看,仍清晰地呈现着从拆解到重构的解读理路。正是这种对女性与自然关系的拆解与重构,引发了人们对女性概念、自然概念、女性与自然关联的重新思考。     

汉代《西域传》书写模式的形成浅析

从商代到东汉,华夏族群①的西部边界呈逐渐西移的趋势。两汉时期的西域,已经达到汉朝移民所能生存的生态极限和汉朝政权行政力量控制的极限。但为了抵御来自北方匈奴人的压力,汉朝极力突破这条客观存在的界限。在这个政治因素的推动下,汉朝形成了独特的西域历史记忆,并用《西域传》的方式被历代中央王朝所继承,维系并巩固了西域与中原王朝的统一。     

重建和发展马克思经济学的研究思维——从本质到现象的研究路线是如何消逝的？

马克思在经济分析中实际上使用的是从本质到现象的研究路线,这种研究路线与社会经济现象这一研究对象相适应;不幸的是,这种研究路线在古典主义后期还没有发展成熟就逐渐蜕化了,以致现代主流经济学的研究方法与研究内容之间存在着严重脱节。究其原因主要有四：一是经济学者的知识素养日益狭隘而使得本质研究被抛弃;二是经济学纯理论化的努力而日益抽象化;三是马克思具体观点的教条化理解和发展窒息了该研究路线的蜕化;四是经济学研究对象从公共领域转向了私人领域而导致社会关怀的丧失。     

历史与逻辑统一的法理叙事——评《西方法理思想的逻辑演变》

万斌和陈柳裕的著作《西方法理思想的逻辑演变》采用了历史与逻辑相统一的方法研究西方法理学。在该著作中,作者提出从主观主义和客观主义的视角理解西方法理学的历史发展,回答了西方法理学中法律的"规律"、"意志"和"功能"等问题,并且对20世纪西方法理学的多元化发展趋势进行评述。总之,该著作将西方法理思想在一个全新的理论框架下予以整合,为读者提供了一幅西方法理思想演进的历史图景。     

African Union and Intra-State Conflict Resolution: A Return to the Libyan Crisis (2011)

This paper looked at the performance of the African Union (AU), in the resolution of intrastate conflicts in Africa. The study necessitated a revisit to the Libyan crisis. It is acknowledged in the study that conflicts pervade human relations. In the case of Africa, the study further shows that Africa has never experienced a lasting peace. The theoretical framework of games theory has been adopted in the study, to describe the character of African conflicts and to proffer solutions for the minimization of the level and number of such intrastate conflicts. The Libyan conflict typified the character of intrastate conflicts in Africa and was used for illustration in the study. The study concluded that the AU has made significant contributions toward the resolution of intrastate conflicts in Africa but there are still shortcomings of the AU and impediments to the efforts of the African Union, toward the resolution of such crises.     

Penetration,Overlay, Governmentality: The Evolving Role of NATO in the Western Balkan Security Dynamics

ABSTRACT

According to the Regional Complex Security Theory (RSCT) external involvement in regional security can take either the form of penetration or overlay. We theorise governmentality as the third form of external involvement aimed to responsibilise regions in order to govern them indirectly and at a distance. We illustrate our argument in a study of NATO’s role in the Western Balkans since the dissolution of Yugoslavia. In particular, we posit that the predominant role of NATO in the region has evolved over time from penetration in the 1990s, through overlay in the early 2000s, to today’s governmentality.     

Statebuilding in Divided Societies: The Reform of Dayton in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract

Drawing from the literature on conflict regulation and other plural society theories, this paper provides a framework of analysis to explore the dynamics involved in the external statebuilding process in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The analysis is based on a three-level framework whereby patterns of conflict regulation are analyzed at the inter- and intra-ethnic levels, as well as what this article terms the ‘supra-national’ ethnic level, where interactions between domestic and external actors are considered. In order to explore these issues empirically, this paper examines the process of constitutional reform in BiH over the course of 2005–6, drawing from personal interviews. The paper concludes that, while the assistance provided by external actors has proven substantial, the neglect of intra-ethnic dynamics and other related considerations have often rendered external actors’ efforts at shaping the statebuilding process in BiH ineffective.
