The elites’ collective subjectivities of the history of ethnic politics in Malaysia

ABSTRACT

Malaysia is one of the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious countries in Southeast Asia. Due to the pluralistic nature of Malaysia, it has a political structure based on ethnic politics. The ethnic preferential policies affected most domains of this country. The objective of this article is to examine the origin and background of ethnic politics in Malaysia. Findings of this study indicate that, ethnic politics originated during the British colonial period, it became a tool used by the Barisan Nasional for the legitimacy of regime. Moreover, ethnic politics in Malaysia today is intertwined with religion. Besides, there is the dilemma of the choice between the interest of certain ethnic group and national interests. However, with the opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan won the election in 9th May, UMNO-led BN lost power and interrupted its 61 years control, which leaves us an interesting topic to think about the future of Malaysian ethnic politics.     

中原经济区背景下郑汴产业的分工与对接

《国务院关于支持河南省加快建设中原经济区的指导意见》的出台,为郑汴一体化提供了新的发展契机,国际国内产业转移加快了郑汴一体化的进程。工业中各行业的静态和动态集聚指数分析表明,郑州和开封是实施一体化的理想区域:1.无论是从历史上还是从现实来看,郑汴两地更多地体现的是一种区域分工关系,而不是竞争关系。2.在一体化发展过程中,郑汴集聚的非优势产业和优势产业,是两地快速成长的产业,在产业内和产业间会形成规模经济-分工。3.郑汴产业对接不是单方向的开封对接郑州,而是存在着郑州对接开封、开封对接郑州和郑汴相互对接等三个层面。4.郑汴一体化使两地所获得的利益并不对等,郑州汲取了郑汴一体化的大部分利益,而开封有进一步被"空心化",进而沦落为落后产能承接地的危险。     

从"现实性"范式之争看马克思与黑格尔哲学通约的限度

"现实性"范式是马克思与黑格尔哲学之争的关键.在马克思看来,黑格尔将"现实性"与"普通经验世界的定在"相区别,从而提出了一种有别于传统哲学的"现实性"概念.其内涵是,以实体的抽象形式去先行规定现实世界的丰富内容,并由此演绎出以国家的普遍目的去预设市民社会本质的先验法哲学.马克思认为,黑格尔因为颠倒了"本质"领域与"现实性"领域的真正关系,而他辩证法的"交互-中介"特性却又无法调和两极间的根本对立,这就造成了黑格尔"现实性"概念的本质缺陷.恩格斯虽然把握了黑格尔"现实性"是一个辩证运动的过程,但他却把黑格尔的辩证法错误理解为某类线性知识发展观和自然科学式的渐进真理.实际上,黑格尔提出了一种不同于自近代笛卡尔以来的自然科学和几何学式线性认知论的真理观--圆圈式的认识论.真理的理念作为一个在历史中让精神不断自我显现的过程,构成了历史与认识之间的螺旋上升和循环.黑格尔的本体论虽然加入辩证法的否定性因素,但是其内涵依然是本质决定论,但他的知识论却以反向运动的过程来揭示本体论的能动性,正是通过这样一种结合了自己本体论与知识论正反运动的双向进程,黑格尔已经不再是马克思所批判的那种意义上的实体决定论.     

试论西域文化对入驻西域蒙古人的影响

本文运用文化人类学理论 ,在简要论述蒙古社会传统状况的基础上 ,从政治、经济、文化等三个方面探讨蒙古人入驻西域后所受的西域文化影响。蒙古人在入驻西域时是以统治民族自居并希冀以本族文化影响当地诸族文化的 ,但在漫长的风雨沧桑中经几百年多民族交流、合作与互动以及西来伊斯兰文化的强烈影响 ,自己自觉或不自觉地受到当地文化影响而最终成为维吾尔民族的成员。这是文化互动、民族互动的结果。

根据大量的考古发掘资料 ,说明卡约文化墓葬出现的诸多丧葬习俗 ,均源自当时人们的灵魂观念 ,并由此产生了各种丧葬礼仪     

民族文化特质对区域协同发展的深层影响探析——以武陵山片区为例

宗教性、群体性、安乐性、和谐性是武陵山片区的优秀民族文化特质,它对区域协同发展既有着极大的互融性,又兼具难以忽视的差异性。这些民族文化特质来源于武陵山片区自然地理和文化传统两个层面。从武陵山片区民族文化特质的现实表现着手,分析了民族文化特质对区域协同发展的双重影响,剖析了武陵山片区协同发展中存在的问题,提出了民族地区协同发展的文化方向。     

清代三山五园地区的买卖街

清朝时期,清帝陆续在三山五园地区修建皇家园林,到乾隆时期发展到了鼎盛阶段。为了满足帝后和皇室人员的好奇心、游赏玩乐需要,以及王公大臣的生活需要;同时,也为下层随侍人员提供了必要的物质补充和精神慰藉,清帝在三山五园中设立民间市肆——买卖街。从园林艺术角度看,买卖街的设立也是园林造景的需要。买卖街的建筑风格,既有仿照江南苏州市肆格局的苏州街,又有典型的北方市肆风格的买卖街,集中体现了当时北方文化与南方文化相互融合的皇家园林风格。      

农村地区食品安全监管配套制度的完善与落实

自2009年《食品安全法》颁布至今,我国农村地区的食品安全事件依旧频发,《食品安全法》在农村地区的实施效果远不如城市。造成这种状况的原因除长期以来存在的城乡二元结构和农村居民自身生活习惯等问题外,更主要的是《食品安全法》作为一部在全国范围内统一实施的法律,其明显缺乏专门针对农村食品经营主体的监管配套制度,从而使该法在广大农村地区实施的过程中监管能力明显不足。据此,提出构建食品安全监管在农村地区的配套制度,加强技术监管和信息化管理以及充分发挥社会共治等建议。     

Inference in Semi‐Parametric Dynamic Models for Repeated Count Data

This paper deals with a longitudinal semi‐parametric regression model in a generalised linear model setup for repeated count data collected from a large number of independent individuals. To accommodate the longitudinal correlations, we consider a dynamic model for repeated counts which has decaying auto‐correlations as the time lag increases between the repeated responses. The semi‐parametric regression function involved in the model contains a specified regression function in some suitable time‐dependent covariates and a non‐parametric function in some other time‐dependent covariates. As far as the inference is concerned, because the non‐parametric function is of secondary interest, we estimate this function consistently using the independence assumption‐based well‐known quasi‐likelihood approach. Next, the proposed longitudinal correlation structure and the estimate of the non‐parametric function are used to develop a semi‐parametric generalised quasi‐likelihood approach for consistent and efficient estimation of the regression effects in the parametric regression function. The finite sample performance of the proposed estimation approach is examined through an intensive simulation study based on both large and small samples. Both balanced and unbalanced cluster sizes are incorporated in the simulation study. The asymptotic performances of the estimators are given. The estimation methodology is illustrated by reanalysing the well‐known health care utilisation data consisting of counts of yearly visits to a physician by 180 individuals for four years and several important primary and secondary covariates.
