论全球化时代的阿拉伯妇女问题

本文以2002～2005年的《阿拉伯国家人类发展报告》为基础,分析了阿拉伯国家长期落后的主要原因.作者认为,男女平等是构建民主社会的基本条件,处于全球化时代的阿拉伯国家之所以社会发展严重滞后,主要是因为阿拉伯妇女问题没有得到妥善解决.此外,作者还就如何解决阿拉伯妇女问题提出了建议.     

全球化下的阿拉伯国家金融发展趋势

金融全球化对阿拉伯国家来说是双刃剑.阿拉伯国家金融体系主要以间接融资为主.金融自由化、技术革新和市场参与是金融中介转变职能的主要动力.阿拉伯国家金融业拥有这些驱动力,但并没有被政府部门和市场参与者看作主要规则.与此同时,尽管阿拉伯国家金融业发展趋势与全球金融发展趋势相同,但发展却极不均衡,并成为经济增长的阻碍之一.在金融全球化面前,阿拉伯国家正进行金融改革,但仍面临着巨大的经济和社会挑战.     

阿拉伯国家艾滋病问题现状综述

本文概述了阿拉伯国家艾滋病问题的现状,分析了阿拉伯国家自身的文化、社会结构特点与艾滋病传播的关系,指出艾滋病已成为当今阿拉伯各国不可忽视的重要问题,同时也对阿拉伯国家防治艾滋病的前景做出了较乐观的估计.     

阿拉伯国家与特奥会的和谐互动

2007年世界夏季特殊奥林匹克运动会已在中国圆满落幕。阿拉伯国家对特奥会表现出空前的热情，来自19个阿拉伯国家的594名运动员和教练员参加了11个项目的比赛，阿拉伯社会正在逐步形成支持、参与特奥，关心、帮助智障人士，促进社会文明、和谐的共识。     

阿拉伯国家社会转型中经济发展面临的挑战

能源在阿拉伯世界经济社会发展中具有举足轻重的地位和作用,影响并形成了阿拉伯国家独特的经济社会结构和发展道路。然而,阿拉伯世界以能源为主的社会经济发展模式凸显了资源导向增长的经典困境,阿拉伯产油国经济和社会发展高度依赖石油和天然气,工业和经济结构单一,经济多元化水平低下。石油财富未能从根本上改变阿拉伯国家社会经济发展成就的有限性,社会经济发展滞后,贫困、失业和社会不公三大问题,凸显了阿拉伯世界以能源为主的社会经济发展模式的弊端和深层危机。“阿拉伯之春”对社会经济包容性增长的强烈要求,对以能源为主的阿拉伯国家社会经济发展模式提出了严重挑战。阿拉伯世界的社会稳定将是一个长期和艰难的过程,最终取决于阿拉伯国家的社会经济发展水平。     

阿拉伯近现代史上的几次武装斗争

西方列强侵占阿拉伯国家后,采取一系列疯狂掠夺当地财产的政策,严重摧残了阿拉伯国家的经济,剥夺了人民的政治权利.19世纪以来,在阿拉伯国家先后爆发了好几次规模浩大的反抗殖民统治的武装斗争.这些斗争推动了社会历史前进的步伐,加速了殖民统治势力的垮台.     

以色列阿拉伯公民的发展现状及其政治意识

以色列建国61年来,尽管其阿拉伯公民的社会地位和生活境况已有了很大改善,但他们并没有完全融入以色列社会.以色列作为一个犹太国家和西方民主国家的双重特性,决定了其对阿拉伯公民实行的是一种表面上平等而实质上则是剥夺与压迫、歧视、隔离和分化的政策.以色列阿拉伯公民的民族政治意识经历了几个发展阶段,已克服了最初的混乱和迷惘,将争取自己在以色列国内的平等地位和权利作为自己的目标,并提出了明确的政治愿景,对以色列的立国理念--锡安主义形成了挑战.正视阿拉伯公民的合理要求并将其纳入以色列民族国家构建的范畴之内,不仅关系到以色列国家的稳定和发展,而且对未来巴勒斯坦建国进程及其巴以关系的走向也将产生重要影响.     

浅析阿拉伯国家的失业率问题

多年来,阿拉伯国家的失业率一直居高不下的原因是多方面的.作为非传统威胁,高失业现象是综合性社会问题,面对这枚"定时炸弹",阿拉伯国家采取了诸多对策,取得了一定成绩,但这些成绩与严峻的失业形势相比是不够的.因此,阿拉伯国家应从根本的和宏观的问题入手,通过综合治理和科学治理,有效降低失业率.     

阿拉伯舆情指数(2011)分析

阿拉伯舆情指数(2011)是阿拉伯研究与政策分析中心实施的阿拉伯国家首个大型、综合性舆情调查的报告,从阿拉伯民众总体状况、"阿拉伯之春"、民主问题、民众对国家机构的信任度、宗教在政治和社会中的作用、阿拉伯民族问题等六方面量化展现了受调查者的态度。本文选择其中关于"阿拉伯之春"的部分进行解读,并考察了阿拉伯媒体对阿拉伯舆情指数的态度。此外,本文还对阿拉伯舆情指数的意义和不足做了评析,提出了部分建议。     

阿拉伯经济的一体化

阿拉伯国家具有相似的政治和文化社会环境,其经济实现一体化的基础不亚于欧洲国家.阿拉伯国家在经济一体化发展道路上的机遇与挑战并存,在信息经济的背景之下,阿经济一体化有了更丰富的内涵和更广阔的发展空间.

Female Athletes' Motives and Experiences During the Gay Games

This study examines female athletes' motives for participation in Gay Games IV, and their experiences during the Games. The participants (N = 132) acknowledged traditional sport motives as well as social, self-enhancement, and political motives for participation in the Gay Games. Positive aspects of these athletes' experiences at the Games included having a sense of belonging, pride, and community. Meeting, competing with, and being near other lesbian, gay, and bisexual athletes also were important motives and outcomes of participation in this event. Almost all of the athletes described positive experiences at the Games. The experiences expressed by these athletes show the affirming emotional and psychological impact of participation in an inclusive sport environment. Overall, while many of these athletes noted sport highlights in describing their experiences, the social and personal development were voiced more consistently and frequently.     

Medals,media and myth of national images: How Chinese audiences thought of foreign countries during the Beijing Olympics

This study examines whether the performance of a country in the Olympics would affect its national image in the eyes of a Chinese audience. Guided by the theoretical perspectives of agenda setting and cultivation analysis, the project intends to test whether the highly publicized Olympic Games have a globally accepted effect of bolstering national image, as politicians and governments claim they do. Based on data from panel surveys and the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Medal Index, this study found that the overall performance of a country in the Olympic Games was positively correlated with both its current and comparative scores of national image in the minds of Chinese audiences. However, an increase in the number of medals collected during the two Olympics by developing countries did not benefit national image. Agenda setting theorizes that only a few top agendas can successfully draw attention from the public. National image is a very stable perception built by macro and long-term factors. For most countries, their overall performance in the Olympic Games varies within a limited range. As long as a developed country can stay within its tier, its national image is not likely to diminish. Meanwhile, as long as a developing country is unable to enter the “elite club” of Olympic champions, winning a few medals will not lead to a positive change in its national image.     

1964 Tokyo Olympics as Post‐War

This is an analysis of the historical continuity of the military‐cultural spatial formation of the Tokyo Olympic Games throughout the prewar and postwar era. The sites that eventually became the basis for hosting the 1964 and 2020 Olympics had already materialized in the plan for the 1940 Olympics. Tokyo's modernization process entailed a shift of the city's core from the rich cultural heritage accumulated since the Edo in the city's northeast towards an area extending from the southwest of the city center into the suburbs. The northeast area of central Tokyo had been home to commoner districts since the Edo period, and with land that was highly subdivided, did not lend itself to large‐scale development. But the southwest of the city center was originally the site of feudal estates, and these large sites were generally amenable to large‐scale development. These areas were home to numerous Imperial Japanese Army bases before the surrender, which after seizure during the US occupation eventually became the footprint for large parks and urban developments. The 1964 Olympics played a determinative role in the developments of the southwest of the city center. This continuity from prewar to postwar planning is reflected in the similar placement of venues, and the their conversion from former military uses. So the Olympics came to postwar Japan as a postwar event, in the strict sense of the word. The term postwar here refers foremost to the strategy of converting the social consciousness from war that accompanied reconstruction and economic growth.     

‘I’m not an activist’: an exploratory investigation into retired British Paralympic athletes’ views on the relationship between the Paralympic games and disability equality in the United Kingdom

One claim of the UK Government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport is that the London 2012 Paralympic Games ‘improved attitudes to disability and provided new opportunities for disabled people to participate in society’. In addition, the International Paralympic Committee’s strategic plan suggests that the Paralympic Games is a vehicle for achieving ‘a more equitable society’. The aim of this study was to examine the reflections of a group of retired British Paralympic athletes on the relationship between the Paralympic Games and disability equality in the United Kingdom. Narrative interviews were conducted with five male retired British Paralympians and one female retired British Paralympian who had participated in a total of 22 Summer Paralympic Games events. I will argue that some Paralympic athletes who are not obvious ‘activists’ can still contribute to equality for disabled people.
