我国柑橘国际竞争力动态演变及其影响因素实证研究

以波特的国际竞争理论为指导,运用因子分析法和多元线性回归模型,实证分析了1992-2011年间我国柑橘产业国际竞争综合实力的动态演变以及各影响因素.结果表明,我国柑橘产业国际竞争力存在3个不同的分水岭：第一阶段是20世纪末亚洲金融危机以前（1997）;第二个阶段是20世纪末亚洲金融危机至入世前期（1997-2003）;第三阶段是自2004年我国正式实施柑橘产业发展规划至今.研究发现,国际市场环境、国内宏观产业政策及微观经济条件变化是导致我国柑橘产业国际竞争力波动的重要原因.因此,需要建立柑橘产业质量可追溯体系和突发事件预警机制,发展规模经营,进一步落实柑橘产业规划,从微观和宏观2个方面提高我国柑橘产业国际竞争力.     

从美国主权信用降级析国际货币秩序的规范化发展

虽然美国主权信用被降级反映出的是美国经济的停滞不前的困境,但是其隐藏下的债务危机更多地暴露出了当下国际货币制度的无为与无序.立于国际层面群策群力地为国际货币秩序造法当然不失为一种理智的选择,但是从本国实力出发改变博弈的平衡更是务实之道.     

国际强行法的基本法理思考

国际强行法的出现改变了国际法体系纯粹由任意法组成的局面,使得国际法获得了“公法”属性,成为名副其实的“国际公法”.国际强行法的约束力并非根源于主权同意,其法律渊源与传统国际法大相径庭.国际强行法与《联合国宪章》第103条共同促使国际法律体系出现了一定规范的等级秩序,前者在于维护所确立的法律关系之排他性,后者在于确保宪章义务之优先性.

Manpower developments should be examined against the population background. Population and manpower structure of post-war Europe is the haphazard result of various trends, war losses and tremendous shifts of population. Conditions have been changing rapidly, so that computations regarding the structural changes of populations prior to 1949 are in many cases not significant.

The major pre-war trends in economic structure appear to have continued after the war with the exception of commerce, which has not maintained its previous upward trend.

The present disturbed situation is not a convenient platform for projections of population or of manpower. Anyhow, any speculation as to future developments should be based on the knowledge of the specific conditions obtaining in the various countries. Differences in the economic and social structure, as well as in legislation between the various parts of Europe, no longer warrant a smooth and uniform development in accordance with the pre-war pattern. There are, on the other hand, some features of a prospective rapprochement in the economic and social field between Western and Eastern Europe.     

Attitude Toward Menopause and Aging: A Study on Postmenopausal Women of West Bengal

We examined the attitude of postmenopausal women toward menopause and aging with respect to sociodemographic variables and postmenopausal years. Four hundred and eighty postmenopausal women representing Bengali-speaking Hindu ethnic group of West Bengal, India were interviewed about their attitude toward menopause and aging. Information on sociodemographic and reproductive characteristics and menopausal symptoms were also collected. The participants were categorized into four groups based on postmenopausal years (Group 1: ≤2; Group 2: >2 to ≤5; Group 3: >5 to ≤8; and Group 4: >8). The attitude did not differ significantly among different groups, but it differed significantly when compared for residential status and per capita monthly household expenditure (pooled groups), for residential and educational status (Groups 3 and 4), and per capita monthly household expenditure (Group 3). Hierarchical linear regression (stepwise) shows per capita monthly expenditure, age at menopause, years after menopause, and menopausal symptoms (irritability and inability to hold urine) significantly predict attitude.     

Commoditization of Lifestyle Migration: Japanese Retirees in Malaysia

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the relationship between mobilities created from individual choices and the market factors driving lifestyle migration. The transnational mobility of elderly Japanese throughout Asia is considered one of the emerging cases of international retirement migration in Asia, an overall relatively new phenomenon. Through examining the sociocultural aspects of lifestyle migration in the case of Japanese international retirement migration to Malaysia, this paper argues that lifestyle migration, as a form of consumption, results in self-realization that has a culturally specific meaning for Japanese retirees. By linking tourism and migration, this paper proposes that the mobilities market serves as a mediator of transnational human mobilities and argues that the commoditization of Japanese international retirement migration reflects on both the socioeconomic and sociocultural aspects of Japan as an aging society. Ethnographic data, alongside media discourse analysis, demonstrates how the expectation of self-realization is mediated through the promotion of Malaysia as a destination country of Japanese international retirement migration and their culturally specific understandings of retirement lifestyle.     

International Airports: Passengers in an Environment of ‘Authorities’

This article looks at airports from the passengers' perspectives. It shows that international airports are, above all, spaces of highly explicit expressions of several authorities. The article first distinguishes between airline and airport geographies, followed by a conceptual analysis of authority, power and airports. Then, the article describes the several airport authorities and their responsibilities, spelling out their control of the physical elements of airport terminals, with special attention to signage. This is followed by discussions of airport terminal operations and resulting passenger flows, once again focusing on the role of multiple authorities. These discussions lead, finally, to expositions of travelers' socialities while at international airport terminals and under an authoritarian regime, focusing on passengers' disembodying and dialectics.

国际大都市与北京市人口疏解政策评述及借鉴

随着城市化进程的加快,北京进入了城市人口快速膨胀的时期,带来了道路交通拥堵、环境污染加重、资源过度消耗等一系列城市问题。本文总结了东京、首尔、香港、纽约和巴黎等国际大都市人口疏导政策,这些政策包括：产业转移带动人口转移;快速交通建设扩大人口分布和职业通勤范围;卫星城、次中心城区的住宅规划吸纳人口;公共资源分配向郊区倾斜,完善配套基础设施;防止低效益的传统第三产业过度膨胀。北京市现有的人口疏解政策可以分为产业调控类、资源调节类、驱出限入类和行政协商类,各有优势和劣势。在经济结构转型的战略背景下,北京市人口调控需要一个包括产业规划、建设规划、人口管理和政府推动的综合人口调控体系。
