Moody and Sankey Down Under: A Case Study in “Trans‐Atlantic” Revivalism in Nineteenth‐Century New Zealand*

This article examines the reception of revivalism inspired by the work of Dwight Moody and Ira Sankey in the Wanganui‐Manawatu region of New Zealand in the 1870s and 1880s. The success of Moody and Sankey's 1873–75 British campaign inspired interest in revivalism, and led to rapid and widespread adoption of their distinctive methods. Though it aroused opposition in some quarters, Moody and Sankey style revivalism became established as a significant feature of New Zealand religiosity at that time. Some aspects continued to appeal well into the twentieth century. This article traces the rise and growth in influence of this form of revivalism, and considers reasons for its appeal in late nineteenth‐century New Zealand.     

21世纪的中国考古学

中国考古是世界上国别考古中时空最大、体量最宏、内容最为丰富的考古学体系,本世纪中国考古最大的成就就是考古学文化时空体系的建立与完善,以及对传统的中国历史体系的修正和补充。２１世纪,中国考古学不但应当在揭示华夏传统的形成以及人类、农牧和文明国家三大起源问题上有所贡献,更应依赖自身的优势,对考古学以及整个人文科学的理论建设做出贡献。

China's Demographic and Urban Trends for the 21st Century

This paper assesses remarkable and far-reaching changes under way as China enters the 21st century. Among the most significant are the rapid decline in fertility and birth rates, leading to a slowdown in the rate of population growth and a reduction in the growth rate of the labor force. This occurs against the backdrop of continuing structural shift in the economy from a rural-based economy to one increasingly urban-based with growing employment in manufacturing and services. Oshima's conceptual framework for the demographic and industrial transition in Asia is invoked to help explain conditions of change in China. Urbanization proceeds in parallel with these economic changes, and a key feature of transition will be the growth of cities and towns of all sizes. The regional pattern of urbanization will proceed at different rates, with coastal regions advancing most rapidly owing to stronger linkages to the global economy.

21世纪中国史学实证研究的前芽

有的学者在总结近代中国史学发展历程时．对于近代史学的新形势,有“新史学方法论的三种体系”的分析。以为“新史学方法论体系之一”,即：“王国维、陈寅恪、汤用彤、柳诒徵为代表的民族文化主体论史学流派,提出了近代新史学方法的一个重要类型。他们强调在传统学术方法的基础上．结合近代西方学术方法发展出新史学方法。”而“新史学方法论体系之二”的表现,是“胡适、傅斯年等提出了近代新史学方法的另一种发展方向”。     

21世纪以来海外华侨华人社会的变迁与特点探析

论文从华侨华人的人口统计特征、华侨华人社会内部的差异性与认同的多元性、与祖籍国联系的密切以及在居住国地位的提高四个方面,分析解读了21世纪以来海外华侨华人社会发生的巨大变化,并就后疫情时代加强华侨华人研究提出几点思考。论文认为,应该客观理性认识日益复杂多变的国际环境;要严格界定和区分“华侨”与“华人”的概念,并且审慎思考“华侨华人”与“华人散居者”这一术语在英文语境中的接轨;应该从国际移民视角审视和看待中国的海外移民和侨务工作,消除偏见误解,为中国移民正名,为中国侨务工作正名。

From International to Global Development: New Geographies of 21st Century Development

Recent claims of 21^st century global convergence and the ‘rise of the South’ suggest a profound and ongoing redrawing of the global map of development and inequality. This article synthesizes shifting geographies of development across economic, social and environmental dimensions, and considers their implications for the ‘where’ of development. Some convergence in aggregate development indicators for the global North and South during this century challenge, now more than ever, the North–South binary underlying international development. Yet convergence claims do not adequately capture change in a world where development inequalities are profound. Between‐country inequalities remain vast, while within‐country inequalities are growing in many cases. Particular attention is given here to exploring the implications of such shifting geographies, and what those mean for the spatial nomenclature and reference of development. This article concludes by arguing for the need, now more than ever, to go beyond international development considered as rich North/poor South, and to move towards a more holistic global development — where the global South remains a key, although not exclusive, focus.     

21世纪初欧洲华人社团发展新趋势

论文探讨了进入21世纪以来,欧洲华人社团呈现出的三个并行不悖的双向发展趋势:地缘性社团以原居地或住在地为基础双向延伸、业缘性社团结构类别与社会影响力双向拓展以及政治类社团宗旨的双向分化。提出了进一步深思的问题,一是华人社会的组织化构建渠道多元化。多元化路径寻求有效的社会粘合剂,是当今海外华人社团发展的普遍趋势,也与当今国际社会多元组织架构发展的大趋势相互吻合。二是华人群体的体制化诉求意识显性化,包括政党路径、利益集团抗争、法律维权、街头游行示威等。三是华人群体的族群性联合依然主流化。仍然以"同为中国人"的纵向族群性联合为号召,其所显现的依然是华人移民族群潜意识中根深蒂固的自成一体的共性,真正与当地其他各民族人士结为命运共同体,进入超越族群边界的组织化建构,还只停留于个体化的呼吁和努力之中。     

Implementing International Environmental Agreements: The Case of the Wadden Sea

It has been a feature of the past 30 years or so that individual sovereign states have been increasingly willing to partially set aside their own interests in favour of international treaties on pollution control and wildlife protection. It is the political will of the government signatories to such agreements that is the key to successful implementation as that political will provides the legitimate enforceable authority that is necessary to ensure compliance. This paper examines a trilateral agreement made by the Governments of Denmark, Germany and Holland for the protection and management of the Wadden Sea—one of Europe's most important wildlife sites. The examination of that agreement explores the key mechanisms used for its implementation and, in the case of the Wadden Sea, those mechanisms include the operation of key European Union environmental Directives. The paper finds major differences in approach and application of the Birds, Habitats and Environmental Impact Assessment Directives across the Wadden Sea region and argues that these differences undermine the trilateral agreements made by the three governments.

21世纪以来德国的技术移民政策与中国移民

论文分析了近十年德国移民的概况与特点以及德国偏重吸引高素质人才的技术移民政策。认为虽然德国并非传统意义上的移民国家,移民历史较短,但已成为越来越具有吸引力的国家,目前已成为全球第三大移民目的国。21世纪以后德国移民政策更偏重于高技术移民,先后实施绿卡政策、颁布《移民法》、引进欧盟蓝卡等政策,吸引更多的外国技术专家来德国工作和生活。中国是德国重要的非欧盟移民来源国,中国留学生在中国移民总量中所占比例最大。中国的高技术移民呈增长趋势,在德国所有国外高层次人才中占有明显优势。
