论佛教传入日本的文化条件

佛教传入日本是一种文化传播现象,只有当文化传播的客观条件成熟,文化移植的土壤形成之后,佛教传入日本方能实现。从文化辐射源的形成、文化传播途径以及文化中心与边缘地区的互动关系三个方面来看,当时的日本具备了佛教传播的文化条件。     

Short-term international assignments. Military perspectives and implications for international human resource management

Short-term international assignments have been under-explored in international human resource management (IHRM) literature and research. Equally, there is a dearth of studies on international mobility beyond multinational corporations. Drawing on an exploratory study of short-term international assignments in the Irish Defence Forces, this paper considers the implications for IHRM.

近代广西西南边疆的移民与民族经济文化融合——从现代民族国家建构视阈的历史考察

清末及民国的移民对桂西南边疆城镇经济主要行业的缔造、近代圩市的开设和农家经济结构变迁的推动促进了边疆的民族经济融合。民族经济融合加速了该地区的语言文字认同、风俗同化和族际婚姻普遍化等民族文化融合进程。桂西南边疆民族经济与文化融合在加速进程中体现了移民与土著居民杂居格局的和谐性和经济生活的相互依存性,强大内聚力和吸收力的民族性等特点内化为边疆民族向心运动中的开放精神和自觉意识。从现代民族国家建构的视阈来考察这段历史,对构建边疆地区和谐族际关系具有重要现实意义。     

欧洲的中国新移民:规模及特征的社会学分析

中国新移民是指1978年以后移居海外、居留一年以上的来自中国大陆、台湾、香港和澳门的、拥有中国国籍或加入了所在国国籍的中国人。在欧洲的华侨华人规模,包括留学移民和非法移民,在260万-320万之间。在欧洲的中国新移民的新特征是:中国新移民的移民类型多元化,其中投资移民成为新移民的突出特征;中国新移民的社团发展迅速;中国新移民的精英人群增加,社会融合程度提高;中国新移民的大众传媒意识和参政意识强烈,华人政治地位显著提升。从规模上看,欧洲已成为中国新移民增长最快的地区;从区域上看,中国新移民已遍及整个欧洲国家;从社会地位上看,欧洲的中国新移民文化素质偏低、社会地位有待于进一步提高。     

浙江省布依族流动人口的城市融入研究——基于民族文化心理的视角

每个民族特有的文化心理状态对其传统文化的传承、民族凝聚力的增强及民族自身发展具有不可替代的作用。浙江省是布依族流动人口的主要流入地,通过对浙江省绍兴市布依族流动人口的研究发现,共同的民族文化心理让身在异乡的布依族找到了群体归属感和心理安全感,增加了族内群体团结,但民族文化心理也给其城市生活带来了诸多不利影响。破解布依族流动人口城市融入的困境,需要布依族自身自主行动,也需要流入地政府采取措施多方位、宽领域地关心和关爱布依族流动人口的发展,更需要社会组织发挥专业特长,在扶贫济困、心理关怀、权利救济、就业能力提升等方面施以援手。

Naturalization of U.S. Immigrants: Highlights from Ten Countries

The saga of U.S. immigrant naturalization is merely sketched for about 25 million immigrants entered in three decades of renewed immigration. This study documents naturalization outcomes for immigrants from ten major countries of origin, using administrative records on immigrants and naturalizations. Following the 1978–1987 admission cohorts for the first decade or more of permanent residence, this study finds significant covariate effects on the timing of naturalization by origin, mode of entry, and immigrant visa class, net other influences of demographic and background characteristics. Immigrants from the Philippines, Vietnam, and China naturalized more quickly than immigrants from India, Korea, Cuba, Colombia, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. Those who adjusted from statuses as nonimmigrants, refugees, or asylees became naturalized citizens more quickly. Those immigrants with employment sponsorship naturalized faster than family-sponsored immigrants. Spouses of citizens, spouses of permanent residents, spouses of siblings of citizens, and spouses of sons and daughters of citizens naturalized faster than some other immigrants. Gender was not significant in the multivariate analysis, but further research will more fully explore sex-specific variation in the timing of naturalization given likely variation in women's representation by origin and admission categories.     

Underemployment across immigrant generations

The employment circumstances of immigrants and their children constitute a key dimension along which immigrant adaptation to the U.S. can be evaluated. We describe and analyze employment adequacy—defined as underemployment—among first, second and third (or higher) immigrant generations. Analyzing CPS data for the decade spanning 1995–2004, we find support for the notion of successful economic assimilation. The prevalence of underemployment is decidedly higher among the first-generation compared to the second or third, while the latter two groups differ little in this regard. These gross comparisons, however, mask important variation within immigrant generations, including a particular disadvantage among foreign-born non-citizens.     

Accommodation or rejection? Teenagers’ experiences of tensions between traditional and new speakers of Irish

This article analyses narratives presented by teenage Irish‐speakers about encounters between new speakers of Irish and locals in Gaeltacht (traditionally Irish‐speaking) areas. It demonstrates how two conflicting ideologies of legitimate language promoted by the state in the establishment and maintenance of Irish as ‘the national language’ alienate young new speakers of Irish and young Gaeltacht‐based Irish‐speakers from each other and from the language by construing the Gaeltacht as a resource for the nation, generating unrealistic expectations from new speakers and corresponding resentment from their Gaeltacht peers. The analysis of this case contributes to wider debates about the impact of language revitalisation policies on young people, and explores the tension that may arise between the aim of increasing the number of a language's speakers and the desire to retain its traditional functions in the communities where it has been best maintained.
