略论近代云南旧式金融业的发展状况及趋向

在近代云南商品经济的不断发展中,货币及货币经营资本的作用日渐显著,而以货币经营资本作为对象的旧式金融业,如一般的民间借贷资本、典当业、票号业、钱庄业、汇号、煎销业等也有相应发展。但随着近代企业的产生、资本主义生产关系不断扩大后,旧式金融业已不能满足生产和流通发展的需要,旧式金融机构或日趋衰落乃至消亡,或悄然向近代金融业演化。

关于最低生活保障城乡一体化研究——以安徽省为例

目前,我国社会保障制度改革进入一个新的重要时期。围绕如何实现经济社会的全面协调可持续发展,安徽省已经开始在部分地区进行了社会救助管理城乡一体化实践。在取得了一定的积极成果的同时,也发现了漏洞和不足,尤其是城乡低保制度的失衡问题突出。进一步完善社会救助体系,推进城乡低保一体化建设,要结合区域特点,因地制宜,分阶段分步骤,逐步实现。要在探索建立城乡低保一体化架构、完善运行机制、加强过程控制、加强财政保障机制建设、城乡低保队伍建设等方面,进行改进和完善,进行全面系统的顶层设计和思考。     

论我国国际刑事司法协助制度的立法完善

国际刑事司法协助制度无论是在我国整个司法协助体系中,还是在国际合作领域中,都占有非常重要的地位。尽管近几年我国国际刑事司法协助发展较快,但是在刑事司法协助的合作范围、双边引渡条约的订立及《引渡法》等国内立法等方面还存在不少缺陷,无法适应我国有效打击刑事犯罪和广泛参与国际合作的需要。因此,应尽快完善我国国际刑事司法协助制度,加大立法步伐,完善《引渡法》等有关国内立法,积极推动统一的国际刑事司法协助法的出台,同时应进一步加强与各国的刑事司法合作,扩大国际刑事司法协助的领域,积极谋求与各国尤其是西方发达国家双边引渡条约的订立。     

晚清顺天府的专项备荒经费

光绪九年,清朝设立了顺天府备荒专用经费,此后,清政府不断加强对该项经费的解缴、使用的管理。这是中国社会救济史上的一件大事,是清末救灾救济思想和实践发展的标志。     

《公莫巾舞歌行》新解

《公莫巾舞歌行》是自《宋书·乐志》载录以来长期没人能圆满解读的一篇奇文,几成“千古疑案”。从 新的角度考索发现,《公莫巾舞歌行》实际上是既跳《公莫舞》,又演唱乐府诗《公莫歌行》,同时还包括“歌行”原文的 演出流程记录。原诗确实是感情真挚、音韵和谐的“乐府”佳作。这篇“奇文”可称为“杂录体”。     

1945年英美财政贷款谈判及档案材料分析

文章主要利用已解密的原始档案——《英国海外政策文件集》和《美国对外政策文件集》对1945年下半叶英美两国在华盛顿举行的财政贷款谈判做以述评。二战结束后,美国突然停止了租借援助使得本已受战争摧残的英国经济步履维艰,财政濒临崩溃,不得不再次向美国求援,而美国则充分利用这次谈判之机迫使英国不断妥协、退让,最终英国几乎答应了美国的全部要求。至此,美国也基本实现了构建以其为主导的战后世界经济新秩序的夙愿。     

清代常平仓法律探析

常平仓制度在清代已经比较成熟,从修建仓廒、确定储粮数额到仓库的日常管理都有明确的法律规定。其中筹集仓粮、严惩亏空等方面的法律相对稳定,而在额定存粮数目和存粜比例等方面的法律则随着形势变化不断做出调整。清前期常平仓在平抑粮价、救济灾民方面发挥着巨大作用,清中期常平仓开始亏空且问题日益严重,后期则彻底崩溃,相关法律规定也沦为一纸空文。     

A Portrait of Older Homeless Men: Identifying Hopelessness and Adaptation

Using participant observation as a homeless shelter volunteer and through face-to-face long interviews with four homeless elders (50+) and six service providers throughout the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan area, data revealed unique coping strategies and patterns of service use of older homeless people. A state of hopelessness characterized many older homeless people who adapted and functioned in their culture of poverty. Sources of hopelessness were identified. Unique adaptations were noted for certain individuals who either learned to use the services opportunities provided or learned to exploit/abuse the service network. This group of people have found a social niche in which they can function and meet basic survival needs.     

No Country Left Behind? Performance Standards and Accountability in US Foreign Assistance

The accountability movement in public policy hails a new programme for US foreign assistance – the Millennium Challenge Account established in 2004 with the aim of ‘picking winners’ for grants among developing countries based on their demonstrated quality of governance. This article uses the MCA's own rating system to dispute its claim to know in advance which countries are best positioned to meet major development goals. High governance scores alone bear little or no relationship to growth in national income or decline in poverty. Attempting to measure public‐policy performance limits the range of choice available to policy‐makers, and may inadvertently limit true performance.
