二战期间中英美三国在反攻缅甸上的分歧及其影响

针对近几年来史学界存在关于"欧洲中心论"的观点,采用比较分析的方法,力图从1942年日本占领缅甸后,中英美三国在反攻缅甸问题上表现出的不同利益和政策中,分析三国不得不协同作战,并取得胜利的根本原因,从而证明中国的远征军在其中做出了巨大的牺牲和贡献。

中缅边境非法跨国婚姻对云南边境少数民族地区和谐稳定的影响分析——以云南省龙陵县徐家寨为例

由于地缘条件、民族传统习惯等因素的影响,在云南中缅边境地区形成大量非法跨国婚姻。不仅削弱了中国法律在边境地区的权威,给边境地区的安全与稳定带来隐患,而且损害妇女儿童合法权益。有条件认可中缅跨国婚姻,为缅甸女性提供职业技能培训,有助于云南边境地区的长期和谐稳定。

边境经济:泰缅边境冲突地带的订单式农业与劳动力流动

本文以泰缅边境订单式经济这一龙头经济活动为研究对象,分析放松管制的资本流动刺激政策和人员流动相对严控之间的突出矛盾,旨在揭示边境地区人民与当地之间不同于其他地区的关系形态。通过案例研究表明,泰缅边境地区主要受到三种因素的影响。其一是近期泰缅边境资本主义市场扩张刺激了农业生产对土地和劳动力的更大需求;其二是缅甸中央政府与民族武装组织之间的冲突妨碍了缅甸一侧边境的同步经济发展,使得边境两侧形成强烈反差,造成农业务工人员大量涌入泰国;其三是泰国政府通过鼓励缅甸一侧边境克伦族村落发展经济作物生产,竭力控制缅甸籍克伦族务工人员数量。尽管边境武装冲突会对订单式农业发展造成影响,但是长期而言不会影响边境地区资本主义的发展。     

清朝与缅甸、暹罗封贡关系比较研究

缅甸、暹罗同处东南亚,同为朝贡国,但清朝与两国的封贡关系在建立、制度规定、发展演变、结束等方面有较大的差别。清朝与暹罗、缅甸封贡关系的差异性,说明清朝朝贡制度本身具有很强的国别和地区差异性。清朝与两国封贡关系的发展演变,则说明清朝朝贡制度是一个不断发展演变的过程。     

Dress and Cultural Strategy: Tai Peddlers in Transnational Trade along the Burma – Yunnan Frontier

This paper explores transnational trade carried out by the Tai, an ethnic nationality spread across the border area between Shan State in Myanmar and Dehong Prefecture in Yunnan province in China. The Tai who live in this border region belong to a linguistic group that has long shared cultural and linguistic traits with the Thai in Thailand and other Tai-speaking groups in Vietnam, Laos and other parts of Southeast Asia. This paper focuses on the Tai peddlers who conduct trade between Thailand and Shan state in commodities such as Thai and Tai traditional clothing and entertainment VCDs featuring Shan and Thai songs. The focus is on peddling in traditional Thai dress styles that are popular with Dehong Tai customers. The author contends that dress practices have gained a meaning and status in displaying acquired wealth, and this has resulted in shifting status hierarchy among members of Dehong Tai society. Wearing certain clothes becomes a self-identification that the Dehong Tai use to manifest their social position in public. This in turn helps them to destabilize both their lower-status position in the Han-dominated Chinese society and the cultural imbalance between themselves and the Chinese.     

论战后英国在缅甸独立态度上的转变

二战后英国以和平方式给予缅甸独立,这决不是英国对其战前殖民统治反省后的明智之举,而是英国政府无法应对缅甸民族主义要求独立的强大攻势,被迫做出的丢卒保车的战略选择.缅甸的独立不是完全按英国战前早已制定好的非殖民化时间表有计划、有步骤进行的,而是缅甸民族主义者斗争的结果,但从缅甸独立的方式看,则充分体现了英国在解决殖民地问题上的灵活性和可借鉴性.     

The politics of indigeneity in Myanmar: competing narratives in Rakhine state

This paper addresses a key issue that remains under-studied in discussions of Buddhist–Muslim hostility and violence in the northern Rakhine state in Myanmar. It reveals how the public narratives of both Rakhine Buddhist and Muslim political parties rely on the concept of ‘indigeneity’ to assert their claims as citizens and rightful sons of the soil, and to discredit the other’s position. This paper argues that this discourse, and the debate as it is presently formulated, has deepened the gap between two communities and obscured opportunities for identifying common ground that could be leveraged to foster more pragmatic approaches to deep-seated communal problems.     

Surveying and producing the frontier in nineteenth century Manipur: challenges and practices

ABSTRACT

The second half of the nineteenth century was a turning point in the history of modern Manipur when it collaborated with the British in the first Anglo-Burmese War of 1824. With the conclusion of the treaty of Yandaboo 1826, Manipur was transformed into a frontier zone. In this backdrop, the paper explores the pre-colonial notion of territory and how it competed with the European notions of space. Boundaries were fluid, and land was perceived more in terms of people and social relations. The paper also highlights the impact of state formation and territorialisation on identity formation by referring to the changes in the management of the hills and the valley after the 1891 Anglo-Manipuri War. Demarcation of land and boundaries submitted to the logic of rule and control which resulted in the classification of land and people into far more rigid categories like the separate management of the hills and the valley.
