WTO条件下中国农业法律体系生态化构筑研究--以美国的农业Security and Investment为中心

美国农业法的主要内容就是维持对农业的大力补贴,其特点就是保护和投资.基于此,在已加入WTO的情况下,中国应当加强农业立法和完善生态规划,以生态学理论为视角、以可持续发展为基础建立起中国生态化的农业法律体系.     

Dynamics of Market Power and Concentration Profiles

This paper examines some of the economic and econometric issues that arise in attempting to measure the degree of concentration in an industry and its dynamic evolution. A general axiomatic basis is developed. We offer new measures of concentration over aggregated periods of time and provide a sound statistical basis for inferences. Concentration is one aspect of the problem of measuring “market power” within an industry. Modern economic analysis of antitrust issues does not focus only on the level of concentration, but still must examine the issue carefully. We contrast concentration at a point in time with a dynamic profile of change in the distribution of shares in a given market. Our methods are demonstrated with an application to the US steel industry.     

利放弃大规模杀伤性武器计划的原因和影响

在受美国遏制、制裁的国家中，利比亚的转变最为明显。2003年12月，利继与英、美就洛克比空难事件达成协议后，又宣布放弃寻求大规模杀伤性武器计划，使利、美关系上的最大障碍得以解除，但利、美关系在短期内要得以恢复仍很难。     

解读小布什时期美国大战略中的中东政策

从历史上看,美国的兴起在一定意义上是基于其特殊的地缘战略地位。小布什时期,美国的大战略主要是辨认地缘政治的断层线,找出潜在的全球性对手和可能导致重大对抗发生的地点和方式,并且寻求以何种全球性战略安排来应对。同时,小布什时代的安全观念所衍生的全新内涵促发了美国大战略的一再整合,新的国家安全战略直接反映了美国新保守主义关于冷战后世界秩序的帝国统治理念。在美国大战略中,“选择性介入”,既是一个组成部分,也是一大特点。作为“选择性介入”重点的中东地区,小布什政府奉行的是一种既沿承又重塑的双重原则。     

阿拉斯加出售与太平洋世界的形成

出售阿拉斯加的原因是多方面的。就国际原因而言,它是俄美共同反对英国霸权斗争的结果。就俄国国内原因而言,俄国战略中心由美洲转向亚洲,阿拉斯加管理机关的衰落和腐败等。美国愿意购买阿拉斯加的主要原因在于,它已把扩张的重心就向太平洋以实现建立太平洋帝国的梦想。阿拉斯加的出售加速了太平洋世界的形成和开发。     

美国社区教育及其借鉴

美国的社区学院历经了102年的发展,今天在美国高等教育系统中拥有举足轻重的地位,为适应社会经济发展,高教普及化大众化的需求,社区学院逐渐形成了以转学教育、职业教育、社区教育为核心职能的教育发展模式,这对于处在改革开放,经济结构调整时期的中国是有借鉴意义的。     

美国量化宽松货币政策对我国外贸的影响

为研究美国4轮量化宽松货币政策对我国对外贸易的影响,首先定性分析美国量化宽松货币政策对我国对外贸易影响的4种渠道;然后建立结构向量自回归(SVAR)模型,考察每期量化宽松货币政策通过4种渠道对我国对外贸易影响的显著性和差异性;最后得出,在短期内美国量化宽松货币政策对美国本土经济的预期拉动作用使我国贸易收支情况得到改善,在长期大宗商品价格上涨对出口的抑制以及外商直接投资对进口的促进导致了我国贸易收支的恶化。     

THE AMBIGUITIES OF EXTERNAL MINORITY PROTECTION

This article focuses on the special and prominent place that the “Jewish question” occupied in the general discussion about Russian modernisation in the pre‐1914 period, both in American society and in the arena of US–Russian relations. It analyses the role that anti‐Jewish violence in Russia had in effecting a dramatic shift in the way Americans viewed the Russian Empire, which was being depicted by the American Jews and the leaders of the crusade for a “Free Russia” as a barbarous oppressor of political dissent and a savage persecutor of religious, national, and ethnic minorities. American society’s reaction to anti‐Jewish violence in the Russian Empire at the turn of the twentieth century helped, on the one hand, to shape the idea of the American belief that the United States bore special responsibility for carrying out reforms in Russia, and, on the other hand, to place relations between the two countries within such binary oppositions as “light and darkness,” “civilization and barbarity,” “modernity and medievalism,” “democracy and authoritarianism,” “freedom and slavery,” “the West and the Orient.” The article uses a broad range of verbal and graphic sources from the American press and new sources from archival collections. These sources help to illustrate one of the author’s principal tenets which holds that the United States’ view of the foreign policy of the Russian Empire was a result of the Americans’ projection of their own vision of the nature of the US foreign policy. In their official and public discourses, Americans considered Russia’s foreign policy an extension of Russia’s political regime. This study examines US foreign policy as a vital sphere in which national identity is redefined and reaffirmed and gives an opportunity to draw attention to the cultural and ideological dimensions of Russian–American relations, to understand the origins of dualistic American myths about Russia that have proven so enduring, and to demonstrate how a demonised Russia serves to revitalise American nationalism and how the Russian “Other” was used, in part, to construct the American “Self.”     

Undocumented Acts: Migration,Community and Audience in Two Chicana Plays

Abstract

The 1980 Refugee Act endeavoured to provide effective settlement for refugees entering the United States. But most South American refugees escaping from dictatorships and civil wars were denied political asylum. This article explores the representation of migration and border crossing in Latina (1980 Sánchez-Scott, Milcha, with Jeremy Blahnik. 1980. “Latina.” In Necessary Theatre Six Plays about the Chicano Experience, edited by Jorge Huerta, 85–141. Houston: Arte Publico Press. [Google Scholar]), a play by Milcha Sánchez Scott that stages the difficulties associated with this journey. In 2010 Senate Bill 1070, one of the strictest anti-immigration legislative acts to be enforced, encouraged racial profiling in the identification of border crossers in the state of Arizona. Detained in the Desert (2011), a play by Josefina L?pez, is a Chicana response to the passing of SB 1070, and contributes to a deeper understanding of the fraught experiences of migrant women’s lives. The study of the plays places an emphasis on transnational community building and audience engagement and builds on a range of recent critical work by border theorists and scholars such as Alicia Schmidt Camacho and Deborah Boehm, and theatre and performance critics such as Diana Taylor.     

The Inter-ethnic Return: Racial and Cultural Multiplicity in Foundational Asian American and Chicana/o Literatures

Abstract

This article advocates that inter-ethnic contact and cross-cultural traffic condition the possibilities of imagining Asian American and Chicana/o identities, respectively, in early Asian American and Chicana/o novels. Using Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior and Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street as my primary examples, I demonstrate how early Asian American and Chicana/o literatures that have been critiqued almost exclusively within binary analytic paradigms articulate identity within a diverse field of racial and cultural differences. I argue that, in order to regard properly the inter-ethnic trends of recent US fiction and to liberate foundational minority texts from ethnic specific enclaves within US institutions, scholars need to recognize how negotiating a diverse spectrum of racial and cultural distinctions is a critical element of the early Asian American and Chicana/o literary imagination.
