Women Sustaining Community: The Politics of Agro-Ecology in Quilombo Tourism in Southern Brazil

This article analyses how a gendered perspective on community-based tourism (CBT) contributes to the realisation of identity and sovereignty of quilombos. It examines the potential sustainability of CBT coupled with agro-ecological practices within the context of gendered identity politics. Drawing from in-depth ethnographic and archival research conducted between February and July 2015 at Campinho da Independência (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the article discusses how female leaders integrate sustainable agro-ecological practices and CBT with environmental education in what they call ‘ethno-ecological tourism’. This approach to CBT strengthens a proudly defiant version of Afro-Brazilian ethnic identity vis-à-vis the state.

多学科、兼顾历史与现状、教学相长：南洋研究院华人研究特点与存在问题（2000-2006）

南洋研究院的华侨华人研究体现了多学科、兼顾历史与现状、教学相长的特色。除了经济、历史、政治学(国际关系)等主要学科外,南洋院师生越来越多地借重民族学、宗教学、金融学、人口学、语言学、管理学、图书及版本学等学科理论与方法研究华侨华人。在侧重华侨华人现状研究时,仍继续关注华人史研究。在相关学位课程带动下,硕博生的学位论文研究日益成为南洋院华侨华人研究的重要组成部分。就总体而言,南洋院的华侨华人研究仍呈现创新能力弱、文献单薄、低水平重复等问题,这既是国内文科重量化考核导向的结果,也与研究人员浮躁的学术态度相关。     

NGOs and Ethnic Conflict: Lessons from the Work of the Project on Ethnic Relations in the Balkans

This article examines the impact of nongovernmental organization-sponsored contact and communication on fostering peaceful solutions to ethnic conflict via case studies of the activities of the Project on Ethnic Relations (PER) in Romania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Serbia. It explores five operational principles that guide PER activity: creating credible, neutral forums for dialogue; maintaining momentum; working within political realities; encouraging indigenous solutions from within existing processes; and acting with the backing of powerful states. These principles explain PER's success as a "weak mediator" of ethnic conflicts. According to this analysis, PER also exhibits organizational characteristics that contribute to success, including nonpartisanship, area expertise and extensive networks of local contacts, and an ability to secure the trust of local actors.
A significant indicator of the success of PER activities is the establishment by conflicting parties of institutionalized mechanisms for addressing their differences. Contrary to the view that electoral competition contributes to conflict, this study finds that the possibility of achieving an electoral advantage by participating cooperatively in conflict resolution activities creates incentives for local actors to recognize opportunities offered by PER activities and leads local actors to heed PER's advice. Finally, the article offers a cautionary observation. While PER's perceived influence with major international actors may contribute to its local successes, once a state actor with the power to impose a solution has committed itself to ending a conflict, its preferences outweigh any local interests in determining the outcome and renders the efforts of a "weak mediator" such as PER irrelevant.     

论马克思主义经济学的创新——为纪念马克思《资本论》(第1卷)发表140周年而作

十九世纪中叶,无产阶级和资产阶级展开了激烈的斗争,无产阶级革命运动如火如荼,马克思说明工资是劳动力的价格,利润是剩余价值,利息是剩余价值的转化形式,揭露了资本主义社会的剥削本质,为唤起劳动人民进行剥夺剥夺者的革命提供了科学的理论根据。但是,今日社会已经进入二十一世纪了,大家都在集中精力发展经济,努力构建和谐社会,如果这时候经济学家们照搬马克思的工资、利润和利息范畴怎么可能客观反映今日社会的现实呢?马克思主义经济学作为一门科学必然会随着社会的发展而创新。我们应当把马克思主义基本原理和社会主义市场经济现实相结合进行理论创新,对工资、利润和利息范畴做出全新的理论概括,这样才能客观反映今日社会的现实。我们的基本结论是:社会主义市场经济中的工资是劳动的价格,利润是经营收入,利息收入具有劳动收入的性质。     

法律经济学学科构建探析

法律经济学是法学和经济学的一种新的研究方法。法律经济学的发展史也印证了法律经济学是研究方法创新的结果。法律经济学从萌芽、初创、产生到发展,历经两个多世纪的演化,有着丰富的理论和实践研究成果,被冠以不同的称谓、被赋予丰富的内涵。法律经济学的概念具有多元化、动态、法学与经济学相结合的本质特征。

发展经济学教学模式改革初探

高等教育教学模式的改革十分重要.发展经济学作为高校经济学及相关专业的一门主要学科,其传统教学模式存在许多弊端,如一般原理的学习与现实问题研究缺乏紧密联系,课程内容的广泛性与教师专业局限性之间存在矛盾等.为克服这些弊端,必须突破传统单一的课堂教学模式,向多元化、综合型、实践型教学模式发展.     

主流范式的危机:法律经济学理论的反思与重整

主流法律经济学对法律问题进行分析、评价和预测,其基本内容是以经济合理性或理性选择的方法来评价法律权利的不同分配所带来的一致性和效率,其所涉及的经济学理论基础主要是新古典主义微观经济学的基本范畴和有关原理,包括“普通法的效率假说”及其中所包含的“看不见的手”原理。主流法律经济学存在的最主要的缺陷是缺乏对政治过程中的权力、意识形态等因素的政治经济学分析,忽视了政治过程在公共政策制定和法律决策中的重要影响。为了弥补上述缺陷,应当建构一种“法律经济学的现实主义范式”。     

Crime,detection rate,and the police: A macro approach

Dutch criminality and its relation to the performance of police and justice have only recently been analyzed at the macro level (e.g., at the level of municipalities or the whole country). This type of approach is a useful supplement to analyses at the micro level (that of individuals), which are more common in Dutch empirical criminological research. The main results of such a macro approach are presented in this article. We conclude that the per capita numbers of youth, divorced people, and unemployed contribute significantly to the crime rate. The police strength and solving rates are important factors as well. Analysis of the production process of the police reveals that detecting one more case of driving under the influence is far more expensive than solving one more other crime or handling one more traffic accident. The results are combined to sketch a cost-benefit approach of different strategies in allocating more resources to the police. Allocating extra resources to solving more cases of vandalism gives the best cost-benefit ratio.
