Nomadic by nature? Contradictions and precarious work in Mongolian tourism

ABSTRACT

Mongolia's transition to a democratic, market economy has created widespread change, especially among pastoral herders. Pastoralists have been depicted as archaic and independent ‘nomads’ who exist outside the modern economy. Still, pastoral culture is a key asset in tourism products and advertising. Tourism could provide fair economic benefits, but inclusive growth depends on how shareholders participate. Using interviews with tour company employees, I investigate how tour companies incorporate pastoralists into their products. The results demonstrate several barriers to inclusive growth. Companies feel individually responsible for managing tourism assets, and to maintain the guise of pastoral authenticity, they limit pastoralists’ participation in business through informal and contingent work contracts. These contracts reveal problematic asymmetry and give pastoralists little job security, control, or access to employee benefits. These circumstances oppose inclusive growth paradigms and demonstrate elements of precarious work. The shared interest in maintaining pastoral culture may unify this fragmented industry.     

The Deep Roots of Libya’s Security Fragmentation

Abstract

Six years after the 2011 revolution that toppled the Gaddafi regime, the political transition in Libya is at a standstill. The fragmented security landscape fuels chronic local conflicts, lawlessness, and insecurity, and paralyzes the political transition with destabilizing consequences on its neighbors. What explains the rapid, profound, and lasting security fragmentation that affected post-Gaddafi Libya? Notwithstanding the manifest failures of the international intervention during and after the 2011 conflict, this article argues that the security fragmentation in post-Gaddafi Libya is deeply rooted in domestic economic, cultural, and political factors. In particular, the Libyan economy offers almost no employment opportunities, and the country lacks a unitary government and functioning state institutions that it needs to redistribute its oil wealth. Under these circumstances, Libyans attempt to cope with economic hardship, insecurity, and lawlessness by turning towards their family, tribe, neighborhood, or ethnic group, thereby fueling the fragmentation of security. Libya’s current security fragmentation and instability can be seen as part of the messy historical process of state formation. During this phase, political and security agreements are brokered and institutionalized through localized processes of rebel governance whose realm of possible arrangements are determined by contextual economic, political and cultural constraints.     

"以人为本"与经济繁荣 --以珠江三角洲为例

全球竞争时代,建立"以人为本"的企业文化对企业发展至关重要.以珠江三角洲地区的企业对待外来员工的恶劣态度为例,该地区经济繁荣背后蕴含着企业文化危机以及与之相连的企业可持续发展危机.学习并创建"以人文本"的企业文化,既是化解企业当下危机的方法,也是增强企业核心竞争力的方法,更是企业界对创建新的中国文化作出的最好贡献.     

政府执行力与行政文化的隐性链接

“执行力”是衡量一个政府管理能力的重要指标。执行力的强弱关系到一个政府管理效率的强弱。如果缺乏强有力的执行效力,政府的公共政策和战略决策只能是无本之木、无源之水。加强政府执行力可以从多重角度考虑,尤其要注意到行政文化对政府执行力的潜在影响。从行政文化的角度出发,创建“执行力文化”,是提高政府执行效力的良好途径。     

“中国和平崛起”与“国际体系和平变迁”——以建构主义“国际体系变迁”理论为依据

2005年4月23日,新加坡内阁资政李光耀在博鳌亚洲年会上作了"为中国和平崛起而实现的共赢方针"的主旨演讲①,这暗示着我们的一些邻国开始正视并参与中国和平崛起的过程.如果这一过程能够顺利进行,中国及其所带动的其它发展中国家,如印度、俄罗斯和巴西等国的崛起将必然给现有的国际体系带来深刻变革.②在主流国际体系变迁理论中,无论是肯尼思·华尔兹的"权力分配论",还是吉尔平的"权力转换理论",抑或是沃勒斯坦的"世界体系理论",都是聚焦在如何通过霸权战争等非和平方式完成国际体系的变迁.如果只把这些理论作为"中国威胁论"的理论依据而加以否认,不跳出其分析框架来重塑国际体系和平变迁的途径,那么中国和平崛起的理论构建中就存在着不足与缺陷.笔者认为,建构主义的"国际体系和平变迁"理论更适于为中国和平崛起及其导致的国际体系和平变迁提供理论依据.

走向大众对话时代的艺术--当代审美文化理论视野中的艺术话题

当代艺术的大众化努力,标榜并正在不断实现着艺术与当代大众的广泛对话,其基本核心是艺术活动、艺术家、艺术作品与当代大众日常生活状态之间的相互趋近和认同,艺术、艺术家和大众由此获得了共同体验和表达对于当代生活/世界的情感与文化价值态度的新的可能性.这种艺术的大众化努力,在与大众对话进程中将成功地架设艺术自身与大众日常生活的文化通道,日渐改变艺术的传统职责,并在当代审美文化中实现现实生活方式向艺术活动、日常生活经验向艺术经验的"跨越".
