Ad hoc rural regionalism

A new regionalism has been much documented and researched for metropolitan areas; this article documents that there is a new rural regionalism as well. In the United States, these groups appear most likely to emerge in areas that are challenged by outcomes characterizing globalization's effects on the rural condition: namely, exurban or metropolitan sprawl and the resulting landscape fragmentation, often in combination with extreme pressure on the profitability of small farms or other resource uses. This research asks: what impetus is behind rural regional efforts; and what sort of processes of institutionalization do these groups utilize? The paper builds on theory developed by the new regional geographers over the last twenty years, most notably Anne Gilbert and Anssi Paasi, and applies the theoretical framework to three North American case studies in what can be classified as ad hoc rural initiatives in contested landscapes, initiated by local or grassroots actors to foster a specific conceptualization of region. While specific programming varies for different groups, rural regionalism addressed the balance between and interconnections of landscape and land use change, social networks, economic viability, and impacts of global industry. Central to the case studies are actors' efforts to create a regional identity, including forming institutions, defining regional boundaries, and identifying social/symbolic shapes for the region. The research discusses the importance of viewing regionalization through the lens of agency.     

《新巴塞尔资本协议》中若干焦点问题的探讨——对QIS3的总体评价及补充

第三次定量影响研究(QIS3)的研究目的是在《新巴塞尔资本协议》前几次讨论稿基础上,评估各银行资本要求的变化。QIS3的结果是与巴塞尔委员会制定的激励相容机制目标基本一致的,多数银行也对巴塞尔委员会的基本原则和新协议“三大支柱”(资本充足率、监管当局的监管检查和市场纪律)的框架表示赞同。但是由于协议的复杂性,有不少问题还是没有得到解决。在新协议中,操作风险计量方法不够精确,新型抵押担保形式不好识别,没有对零售业务进行风险集中度的调整,执行新协议的成本-收益复杂模糊,信用风险设计与激励相容相悖,流动性风险和顺周期性有所加强。这些都需要进行进一步的研究和调整。

Five new towns in the Seoul metropolitan area and their attractions in non-working trips: Implications on self-containment of new towns

In the late 1980s, the Korean government initiated the “Two Million Home Construction Plan” to tackle severe shortages in housing and soaring housing prices. Five new towns (Bundang, Ilsan, Pyeongchon, Sanbon, and Joongdong) were planned around the city of Seoul. By the mid-1990s the residential areas in the five new towns were mostly developed. However, their commercial areas have remained underdeveloped and as a consequence, the new towns are believed to have become bedroom communities.This paper assesses self-containment status of the new towns by analyzing non-working trip patterns in the five new town areas. A survey conducted on non-working trip patterns of the residents in the five new towns and the nearby areas (to shop for groceries, clothing, electronics/jewelry, leisure/entertainment, and to access medical services) reveals that Bundang's commercial dependency upon the city of Seoul has been reduced significantly over the past 5 years (from 1995 to 2000). The survey results on non-working trip patterns of the residents in the five new towns and nearby residential areas in the Seoul Metropolitan Area indicate that the five new towns have been growing as suburban centers in the region in terms of retail attractions, even though they are still maintaining a high dependency on Seoul in terms of working commutes.These observations provide some new indications about self-containment arguments relevant to new town planning. The new towns are currently maintaining a decent degree of self-containment in terms of non-working trip, which has been an important aspect absent in self-containment arguments. In addition, the appeal of self-containment in non-working activities is growing in a dynamic sense. Observations on the dynamic process of the new town developments in Korea demonstrate that the self-containment can be established but through a long taking cumulative and stepwise process rather than immediately by planning.

The geolinguistics of /l/ vocalization in Australia and New Zealand

Recent work in comparative sociolinguistics marks a re–engagement of variationists studying language change in progress with geography. In this study of the vocalization of /l/ in nine speech localities in Australian and New Zealand English, the geographical, the linguistic and the social constraints on variation are all included in the quantitative analysis. The usual identification of the starting point of change as the factor that is quantitatively ‘more’ is challenged by variable constraint hierarchies associated with speech localities as well as by the identification of Christchurch as the place of the origin of the sound change. Neither the gravity nor the urban hierarchy models of diffusion explain the geographical pattern of the sound change; a number of place effects are proposed as potential explanations, including the geographical variability of the vigorousness of the change. Variable isoglosses representing discontinuities in the dataset are mapped; they reveal the subtle patterns of sociolinguistic variation that mark the difference between Australian English and New Zealand English.     

近十年来的荆公新学研究

近十年来的荆公新学研究已经涉及到荆公新学的方方面面,越来越多的研究学者、不同的学科视角、多样的学术方法、整体的观念为荆公新学研究注入了生机活力,但对荆公新学思想渊源所在,哲学逻辑结构的建构方式,与佛道、理学、蜀学等流派之间交融互动方面,特别是对于荆公新学流派的研究以及对于王安石作为宋代由内圣转向外王的关键人物的探讨方面,在学术界目前还是薄弱环节,都是有待深入探讨的课题。
