From Maria Colwell to Victoria Climbié: reflections on public inquiries into child abuse a generation apart

This paper compares and contrasts the Maria Colwell and Victoria Climbié Inquiry Reports. It argues that rather than concentrating on the similarities, it is more important and challenging to consider the differences as exemplars of the changing contexts of child protection in England over the past 30 years. The differences are analysed in terms of: the inquiries themselves; globalization and identity; expert knowledge; systematic care, responsibility and accountability; managerialization; trust and uncertainty; and the legislative contexts. The overall impression is one of increased complexity, where the responsibilities of agencies have both broadened and intensi?ed at the same time. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

对生命流逝和意义的思考——里尔克诗歌解读

奥地利诗人里尔克诗集中有不少直接以死为题的诗,表现了西方人对死亡的热切关注。但不同的是,里尔克并不仅仅沉醉在死或夜的审美意境中,他认为,对死亡的恐惧和悲哀,乃是生命意志对命运的不屈抗争;在死亡的角度上反思生命的意义,死亡在大自然和人类恒新恒异的发展进程中显示了真和善的积极意义;孤独的生命现象又不可能是真正孤独的,它是在一种看似寂寞的生命当中体现出广阔而普遍的精神。面对死亡向人类展开的全部艰涩和困顿,里尔克阐明了他智性的哲学思考。

Multilateralism under threat: Causes,impact, and the policy debate on government intervention in trade

Several forces fostered trade liberalization since the end of World War II. Production and trade interacted quite favorably during the period. In the past quarter century real income in the OECD economies grew at almost 4% yearly, while the volume of export increased by almost 7 percent. However, in the first half of the 1980s, the chemistry of the situation seems to have changed as protectionist tendencies developed almost everywhere in the world. The very same multilateral nature of the world trading system is under threat, as illiberal discriminatory practices are being implemented bilaterally and, even more often, unilaterally. What are the forces at play to increase the pressure towards government intervention in trade? The paper reviews (i) macroeconomic issues and policy situations, as well as (ii) structural issues concerning the working of the economic systems of industrial countries. The pressure for trade intervention in the U.S. is addressed separately with respect to Europe, given the structural and cyclical differences between the two economies The case of Japan is dealt with with reference to the alleged interrelation between Japan's international competitiveness and its macroeconomic policies. Matters of more direct concern to the LDCs are covered at the end of the paper, with emphasis placed on the restructuring process under way in response to, and as a consequence of, the external debt. The paper ends with a recommendation to all countries to make efforts to preserve and strengthen the multilateral and liberal foundations of the international trading system.
