广西各民族间的结构性差异

民族间的结构性差异反映的是各民族社会发展过程中的不平衡状况。广西 1 2个聚居民族在行业、职业、教育和城市化程度等四个方面的结构性差异是比较明显的。影响各民族结构性差异的因素是多方面的 ,而各民族地理分布的不同则是其中较为关键的因素。今后这些结构性差异仍会持续相当长的时间。     

中国共产党国际民族问题理论述要

中国共产党的民族理论从一开始就包含着与广泛的国际民族问题有关的内容.本文对中国共产党关于民族主义、民族解放的理论,关于民族视角中的国际关系原则(包括爱国主义和国际主义,主张民族平等、反对民族压迫与歧视,和平共处、求同存异和尊重多样性原则等理论范畴)以及关于当代民族问题的立场和观点(包括反对外部势力插手别国民族问题,主张国际力量联手打击民族分裂主义,等等)作了较全面的梳理.文章认为,中国共产党的国际民族问题理论丰富和发展了马克思主义民族理论,填充了后殖民主义时代国际民族关系理论的空白.由于当代的国际民族问题在形式与内容上都明显地有别于民族独立运动时代和冷战时代的国际民族问题,这一理论范畴还有待于在更广阔的学术视野中得到进一步深化和系统化.随着我国及国际社会处理当代国际民族问题的实践经验的积累,中国共产党关于当代国际民族问题的理论将更加完善.     

Biblical nationalism and the sixteenth-century states

The emergence of Protestant nations in sixteenth-century Europe was driven by the sudden rediscovery of biblical nationalism, a political model that did not separate the religious from the political. Biblical nationalism was new because pre-Reformation Europeans encountered the Hebrew Bible through paraphrases and abridgments. Full-text Bibles revealed a programmatic nationalism backed by unmatched authority as the word of God to readers primed by Reformation theology to seek models in the Bible for the reform of their own societies. Sixteenth-century biblical nationalism was the unintended side effect of a Reformation intended to save souls.     

(Dis)locating nations in the World Cup: football fandom and the global geopolitics of affect

The World Cup, as a tournament that pits national teams against one another, initially seems to be a site where support for sports is tied to nations. However, situating this sporting event at the intersection of discourses of globalization, transnational circulation of capital and populations, and theories of fandom, our examination of diasporic populations found that the choice is not a simple one between ‘origin nation’ and ‘residence nation.’ Instead, the decision of which team to support relies much more on an attenuated, complex notion that we call transnational affinity. We examine this concept in relation to the context of transnational flow of players, media, spectators, and capital, contending that locating nations or national preference in the World Cup requires understanding the contemporary de- or trans-nationalization of not only sports but identity itself beyond the binary of national and global.     

Institutionalising a cross-sectional policy area? Ministerial competences for migrant integration in EU member states

Migrant integration is a cross-sectional policy issue and its governance involves a network of actors operating on different regional and government levels. Its emergence as a distinct policy area in many European democracies has reinvigorated the role of state actors, particularly at the national level. National governments face a growing need to coordinate formerly disparate domestic integration measures, yet they are also encouraged by increasing activities and resources that have evolved at the EU level. From an institutional perspective, this spread of both norms and resources is likely to result in the emergence of new governmental actors assigned with these tasks. Yet, little scholarly attention has so far been dedicated to the comparison of ministerial competences for migrant integration across Europe and their relation to integration policies. The paper addresses this gap in a comparative study, presenting data on the ministerial competences in 27 EU member states and Switzerland between 2010 and 2014 and linking them to data on migrant integration policies using the MIPEX dataset. The findings show no general European trend towards top-level institutionalisation and instead reveal substantial differences between Western and Eastern European democracies associated with the respective patterns of integration policies.
