The Third Sector, Human Security, and Anti-Terrorism: The United States and Beyond

This paper, a revised version of the keynote address to the Seventh International Conference of the International Society for Third Sector Research (Bangkok, July 2006), explores the increasing tendency of governments to view the third sector as a source of human insecurity and uncivil society in the wake of terrorist attacks. The paper discusses the means governments use to control third sector activity that they view as potentially linked to terrorism, the need for comparative analysis of these measures, and the role of the third sector and scholars in recognizing the responsibilities of governments to prevent third sector organizations being used in terrorism while preserving the independence and vitality of the third sector.Professor of Law and International Affairs and Faculty Scholar, University of Iowa; Visiting Professor of Law, Harvard Law School (2005–06).

稳定物价、保障民生工作仍需高度重视——上海主副食品涨价影响调查分析

在世界经济复苏乏力、成本推动型通胀预期强化的大背景下,如何继续保持物价稳定,为结构调整和民生改善提供必要支撑,是上海转型发展过程中的重要议题。通过问卷调查发现,居民普遍感到2011年主副食品涨价幅度较大,给生活带来明显压力,同时对食品安全问题还有顾虑。政府稳定物价的各项政策措施也有待完善和巩固。鉴于此,本文提出进一步稳定物价的多项政策建议。     

海外华语教材选词共性分析

以六种海外华语教材为对象,从等级分布、使用频率、音节情况等方面对其中"共选词"进行具体分析,探讨有关词汇选择的若干原则。编写海外华语教材,选词要注意收入一定数量的基础词汇,基础词汇的编写应充分考虑《汉语水平词汇与汉字等级大纲》中词汇等级、词频、音节分布等因素;其次要收入海外华裔社会中较常用的词,同时兼顾吸收适合学生年龄心理特征的词语,以及一些文化词和新词新语等;此外,也应考虑教材生词的系统性与难易度的控制。     

身份建构中的历史叙事——以白先勇、严歌苓两代移民作家的历史叙事为例

海外华文文学作家白先勇和严歌苓,是北美新老移民两代作家的代表人物,他们以历史叙事的方式来展现各自不同的故土记忆,并呈现出两种不同的形态:建构历史的使命感与解构历史的现实感、演绎历史的轨迹与边缘立场的书写。从作家的身份出发,探索两种不同的历史观和历史叙述方式形成的不同创作风格以及由此呈现的族性书写的多样性。     

From "Us" to "Them": Diasporic Linkages and Identity Politics

Global diasporas-a type of social formation mediating economic, political, and cultural affairs across borders-have been a focus of globalization researchers for some time. However, up to now, little knowledge exists on how social identification affects business participation in diaspora communities and how such participation modifies social identification. This article, based on empirical research on diasporic linkages between Taiwanese transnationals and ethnic Chinese overseas, serves to illustrate a) how globalization has enhanced the practical and economic roles of diasporas, and b) how economic practices and ethnic identification interact within diasporic communities. The author argues that ethnic membership still remains contested, despite diasporas serving as flexible forms of social organization in the mediation of capital flow.     

Product development in MNC subsidiaries: Local linkages and global interdependencies

The aim of this paper is to identify and explain how different forms of local linkages vary across different patterns of global workflow interdependence in MNC subsidiaries' product development activities. Both global workflow interdependence and local linkages are essential for innovating and long-term success of a subsidiary. This paper's theoretical approach differs from previous MNC research in that we combine the tightly coupled (or rational) network model with the more common loosely coupled (or differentiated, federative) network model. Empirical data was obtained from subsidiaries in Brazil using web-survey design. Our findings show a positive relationship between local outsourcing linkages and global workflow interdependence in product development provided local cooperative linkages are low. Furthermore, results suggest empirical support for the tightly coupled model and its extension, the adaptively rational model proposed by Astley and Zajec [Astley, W.G., Zajac, E.J., 1991. Intraorganizational power and organizational design: reconcilling rational and coalitional models of organization. Organization Science 2 (4), 104–113.]. Accordingly, our study implies that the more subsidiaries create dependent and counter-dependent relationships, the better they will be positioned within their MNC innovation network and the more pronounced their innovative activities shall be.     

海外子公司定位研究:从总部视角到子公司视角

海外子公司定位问题起源于对全球战略的研究,反映了子公司地位更加重要的现实。海外子公司定位的差异性主要源于环境因素、总部指派以及子公司的选择,三种来源反映了海外子公司定位方面总部和子公司两种视角。在日益复杂的跨国化经营环境下,总部主导的子公司定位需要更多地考虑子公司本身的积极主动性。结果,从总部视角到子公司视角的转换在经营战略逻辑、资源配置格局以及考核、协调和控制子公司方面产生新的挑战。     

跨国公司母子公司关系中自治权的确定性研究

在跨国公司研究领域中,自20世纪80年代以来,学术界对母子公司之间关系进行了大量的研究,形成许多理论。这些理论不同程度地揭示了跨国公司母子公司之间关系的深层内容,但迄今未形成被各方接受且有说服力的理论。所以,对这些理论运用组织理论中职权的确定方法进行分析,可以为母子公司关系理论研究提供一个视角,为这些研究内容的丰富提供一个理论基础,还可以得出产品子公司的自治权较小和地域子公司自治权较大的结论。     

泰西、海东文献所见洪武韵以及明清官话

15至18世纪,朝鲜、日本以及西方的汉语学家在编纂汉语辞书时,对洪武韵都采取了尊而不依,敬而不从的策略,他们除对当时的汉语官话作了文字描述以外,还分别用谚文字母、假名和罗马字标注了他们各自所认知的汉字官话正音,为我们今天研究明清官话留下了丰富的文献资料.通过梳理这些资料可知,自洪武韵问世至18世纪中叶,官话一直以南京音为则,然而,由于朝廷移都北京,使得官话逐渐受北音影响,分离出两个语音标准.一个仍以南京音为基础,而另一个以北京音为基准.南京音正统,北京音则通行于朝廷.     

广东侨乡国内移民的崛起及其影响——台山市浮石村调查

台山有数量庞大的海外移民,他们主要来源于农村,对当地农村发展有重要的影响,一直受到较多的关注,而当地农村的国内移民却往往被忽视。改革开放以来,国内移民的数量大幅增加,而且随着个体经济实力上升、人脉力量突显等原因,整体实力不断提升,对农村经济发展、社会网络扩展、村民心态等都有重要的影响,成为侨乡的“新推手”。
