“国家生态安全”与社会经济发展

"国家生态安全"作为"非传统安全"是"传统安全"观念的发展,它有助于加速全球化这一作为国际社会发展标志性特征的认识。而"国家生态安全"作为对"非传统安全"的一种界定与表述,是当前相关理论研究领域的一种趋势,也是社会经济可持续、稳定发展的现实迫切需求。     

Generic Assessment Endpoints Are Needed for Ecological Risk Assessment

This article presents arguments for the development of generic assessment endpoints for ecological risk assessment. Generic assessment endpoints would be ecological entities and attributes that are assumed to be worthy of protection in most contexts. The existence of generic assessment endpoints would neither create a requirement that they be used in every assessment nor preclude the use of other assessment endpoints. They would simply be a starting point in the process of identifying the assessment endpoints for a particular assessment. They are needed to meet legal mandates, to provide a floor for environmental degradation, to provide some consistency in environmental regulation, as exemplars for site- or project-specific assessment endpoints, to allow development of methods and models, to give risk managers the courage to act, for screening and site-independent assessments, to support environmental monitoring, to facilitate communication, and to avoid paralysis by analysis. Generic assessment endpoints should include not only a list of entities and attributes, but also explanations of each endpoint, guidance on their use and interpretation, and measures and models that could be used to estimate them.     

工程与社会：一种工程社会学的初步分析——以中国西部地区生态移民工程为例

在阐述"工程"和"工程社会学"的基础上,认为就像任何工程活动都是嵌入在社会结构和社会关系之中的一样,在西部地区实施的生态移民工程也是嵌入在中国社会尤其是西部社会的结构之中的,西部地区在追求经济发展过程中所造成的对生态环境的破坏,促使了生态移民工程的实施。将生态移民工程与农民的身份转换结合起来,是中国西部地区农民市民化一条可行的途径。把生态移民工程和城市化建设科学地结合起来,是西部地区经济社会发展和实现现代化一种重要途径。     

现代语境下广西民族文化生态保护问题的思考

在当下经济全球化浪潮的冲击和西部大开发战略的实施过程中,如何处理好广西民族文化生态保护与民族经济可持续发展的关系是我们面临的重要问题。我们应该寻求相关的理论正确认识民族文化生态保护的深远意义。针对广西民族文化生态保护的现状及存在问题,我们应围绕经济建设的重心,理顺民族文化生态保护与民族经济发展的关系。在保护民族文化生态的前提下,科学、合理地利用民族文化生态资源优势促进广西民族地区经济协调地、可持续发展。

Issue management and crisis management: An integrated,non-linear,relational construct

Despite extensive attempts to define and differentiate issue management and crisis management, the definitional approach – and linear life-cycle models which focus on the elements – fail to capture the full dynamics of the disciplines. Instead of a focus on definitions, this paper proposes a non-linear, relational construct which considers issue and crisis management in the context of interdependent activities and clusters of activity which must be managed at different stages. This includes the role of issue management in both the pre-crisis and post-crisis phases. The model addresses some of the limitations of linear approaches and helps analyze the outcomes and overlaps between activity clusters in order to optimize strategic relationships and enhance bottom-line effectiveness.     

来自旷野的呼唤——评《断头台》的叙事视角

《断头台》是艾特玛托夫八十年代的力作。作品中以动物形象作为人物形象的参照，增加了一个从动物观照人自身的独特视角，具有独立的审美价值。通过狼的家族悲剧，向读者展示人对大自然的无情掠夺，并由此引发出对人类善与恶的哲理思考。艾特玛托夫以其作品浓厚的生态意识要求人类进行价值观的全方位变革。     

生态危机的根源与消解——美国共产党的生态批判与斗争

在当前的生态危机面前,美共通过深入挖掘生态危机的根源、提供消解生态危机的路径来积极开展生态批判和斗争。美共认为资本主义的趋利体制、资本对环保战略的侵蚀、美国模式的生产方式和生活方式、公司帝国主义等是当代生态危机的根源。在此基础上,美共提出了许多消解环境危机的具体对策,号召人们积极从事生态斗争,并最终推翻资本主义。美共的生态批判与斗争既与当代方兴未艾的生态理论具有相当的一致性,又表现出马克思主义政党的实践性和革命性的鲜明特色。     

联邦德国与第二次柏林危机前期美苏谈判中的德美关系

第二次柏林危机是冷战时期东西方在欧洲的一次正面交锋，这次危机的核心问题是德国和柏林问题。为使危机得到缓解，艾森豪威尔政府领导西方阵营与苏联进行了一系列谈判。在谈判过程中，联邦德国作为危机的利益攸关方，对艾森豪威尔政府的谈判政策表现出了充分的不信任。这种不信任反映了在冷战背景下，作为超级大国的盟友的不安全感。     

This is not a race, this is a farce: Formula One and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway tire crisis

Formula One is the most technologically advanced and financially lucrative form of motorsport in the world with global audiences in the billions over the course of a season. A highly unusual and potentially deadly set of events took place during the Friday practice for the sixth annual United States Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Controversy and blame soon followed. Using Benoit's public relations and image restoration strategy framework, this paper examines the different strategies employed during the crisis by the Formula One teams, Michelin, the Federation Internationale De L’Automobile, Formula One Management, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. An examination of the crisis situation at the United States Grand Prix allows this study to expand Benoit's initial framework into sport as well as examining the implications for public relations and image repair strategies.
