晚清吏治的腐败与洋务运动的失败

晚清洋务运动时期，清政府为追求富强，花费巨额资金引进西方技术、设备、创办了一批近代企业。然而，由于整个官场吏治腐败得不到肃清，这些企业内部也相应存在着盲目决策、任用私人、管理混乱、贪污舞弊等弊端，使企业难以发挥应有的作用，最终导致洋务运动走向失败。这段史实，为在实现现代化过程中如何处理政治改革与发展经济的关系这一关键的问题，提出了重要的经验教训。     

从转型范式看近代三次变革及其启示

研究近代中国各种变革的理论范式有两种:"武装斗争的革命范式"和"现代化理论范式".笔者以为,还可以有第三种研究范式,即转型社会理论范式.在转型社会理论范式中,近代三次变革与当今改革具有一定程度上的共构性.近代三次变革所表现出来的经济改革与政治改革的脱节、权力资源的匮乏、无理又无节的症垢恰好也是当前改革开放应该极力避免而又极易堕入其中的问题.     

中国近代政治思潮的演变过程及其历史必然性

近代中国人民围绕着救国救民、求强求富进行了长达一百多年的探索和奋斗。为此,先后出现了洋务思潮、改良思潮和革命思潮等来指导其社会实践活动。每种思潮的产生和发展都与当时的国情密切相关,因此有其特定的历史必然性。     

20世纪中国哲学史研究模式析论

20世纪的中国哲学史研究,大致存在三种模式,即:本土化的研究模式;西方化的研究模式;中西结合的研究模式。相比较而言,最后一种研究模式最为合理,而前两种研究模式皆存在一定的弊端。我们应继续坚持中西结合的研究模式,将中国哲学史研究继续推向深入。     

从“旅顺船坞”看洋务运动的客观效应

洋务派当年在旅顺黄金山附近修筑船坞,客观上使旅顺成为近代中国北方最大的军港和海军根据地,它不仅使近代中国海军有了最好的基地之一,也为现代海军造船、修船提供了有利的地势和良好的船坞。洋务派在修筑“旅顺船坞”的同时也为大连地区工人队伍的产生与壮大创造了条件。除此之外,洋务派还引进了新式技术设备和企业管理经验,为民族资本主义的产生与发展创造了客观条件。这些客观效应不可忽视。     

The ‘European Turks’: identities of high-skilled Turkish migrants in Europe

Using exceptionally rich qualitative data coming from the FP7 EUCROSS project on the ‘Europeanization of the Everyday Life’, this paper focuses on high-skilled and highly transnational Turkish migrants who reside in the UK, Romania and Italy. The article analyses participants’ discursive constructions of Europe and Europeanness and shows how specific images and symbols of Europe and Turkey influence their own relationship to Europe. We argue that understanding Turkish migrants’ identification with Europe requires a comprehensive analysis of the development of a Westernization discourse in Turkey that has framed people’s identities. This discourse symbolizes the desire for being part of the Western world, and especially Western Europe, but, at the same time, the fear of being dominated by the very same world. We show that we need to grasp the values, images, symbols and discourses that underline transnational practices to understand the making of European identity among migrants.     

Between anti-Westernization and Islamism: Turkey’s ‘Islamic’ vision in Cyprus?

This paper seeks to analyse the position of Cyprus within the geopolitical vision and broader worldview of the National Outlook Movement (Milli Görü? Hareketi) and especially of the National Salvation Party (MSP). The importance of this particular Party lies on the fact that it participated in the coalition government that made the decision to militarily intervene in the island in 1974. The paper’s principal focus is on the Islamic criticism of Turkey’s Westernization and the development of a comprehensive programme of Islamic transformation. Drawing from the above-mentioned axes, and from the context of the MSP’s geopolitical vision, Cyprus and the Cyprus problem, as well as their impact on the political stance of the MSP, are analysed.
