全球化时代国际劳务移民治理析论

论文基于联合国、国际劳工组织、国际移民组织等机构的数据,重点从国家、地区及多边三个层面,对国际社会有关劳务移民的国际合作以及移民工人权益保护的治理实践进行考察,并对于未来全球劳务移民治理发展趋向加以展望。在国家层面,各国政府通过建立有关劳务移民的法律框架,推动国家间协议以及参与多边体系治理合作等方式维护移民工人权益。在地区层面,在区域一体化进程中,正式区域性组织和非正式机制,积极推动区域内有关劳务移民问题的对话、协商和合作。在全球层面,国际上有关劳务移民的国际公约及法律文书代表着多边倡议,国际劳工组织也致力于政策制定以实现所有移民工人利益的最大化。全球劳动力的流动是全球化未完成的事业。随着当今国际迁移的性质和组成日益复杂,移民治理过程中的国际合作与移民工人的保护有待进一步加强。     

How do Migrant Workers Respond to Labour Abuses in “Local Sweatshops”?

This article aims to provide empirical evidence on understanding how migrant workers’ responses to labour exploitation in low‐wage economies are articulated. Inspired by the low levels of conflict among workers in small urban sweatshops in Italy and Argentina, we ask ourselves what contextual and subjective factors prevent workers from organising collectively. Here we argue that in order to understand the nature of their responses, it is necessary to consider not only the organisation of the labour process, but also the class divisions within migrant communities. We also bring in briefly the role of the state in (mis)regulating migrant labour exploitation. We conclude by showing that workers’ responses are highly individualised and that community leaders with economic interests in sweatshop economies may play a role in securing their continuation by channelling the workers’ responses towards the defence of the “ethnic economy”.     

Thai migrants in Singapore: state,intimacy and desire

In this article, I analyse Thai migration to Singapore, drawing on ethnographic fieldwork (2004–06) to discuss the experiences of male construction workers and female sex workers in negotiating heterosexuality during their temporary residence. I argue that these Thai migrants engage in transient heterosexual encounters as one of many calculated, strategic ways of negotiating their intimate identity and subjectivity in the survival circuits of this global city. Their transient sexual acts are intimate products of negotiated moves, which form a major part of their semi-anonymous, temporary life in a foreign land. The sexual practices of Thai migrant workers in Singapore, I argue, are best understood by taking the following factors into account: the host government's regulation and control of its migrant population; the foreign workers' economic and social situations of mobility as inscribed in their highly dynamic traveling biographies; and their rationalized willingness and desire to embrace transient sexual intimacies as part of their employment and/or struggling lives in the global city's survival circuits.     

城市化与容忍度——域外争鸣与本土启示

城市化水平的发展是否会提升城市居民对对外来移民的容忍度, 这对关系的研究没有形成一致的意见。一方面, 经典理论考察了城市化水平和地方区域特征对众多外来目标群体的一般态度, 认为从多元化与异质性的角度上, 城市居民比起乡村居民更加开明与宽容;另一方面, 群体边界的视角却持一种相反的观点, 他们认为对城市化中群体边界的封闭性与排他性会加剧对外来者的歧视。这些争鸣对中国城市化进程中的农民工的社会融合有着重要的启示。     

流动人口就业空间的集聚性和城市就业空间的关联研究——以南京市主城区为例

借鉴国内外相关研究方法,以南京市主城区为实证,运用集聚指数、空间网络关联模型、空间自相关分析以及空间拟合等方法,围绕着\"流动人口-城市人口\"之间的\"局部-整体\"关系,从就业集聚分区、就业网络分析和就业中心识别三方面比较和解析\"流动人口\"这一特殊群体的就业空间集聚性同城市就业空间的关联,并进一步探索其影响因素。     

跨域视角下的美国铁路华工研究述评

论文分别梳理了美国和中国关于铁路华工研究的学术史,并进行了比较与思考。认为美国横贯大陆铁路的通车,保障美国实现了真正的国家统一,开拓了美国的太平洋贸易时代。华工是铁路西段的建设主力,铸造了历史的丰碑。目前,对铁路华工的研究成果主要是"美国视角"下的学术实践:美国学界的研究起步早;研究资料主要来自美国;学术话题主要是美国学界在引领;中国的铁路华工研究仍处于边缘地位。这种状况既具有时代特点,也具有学术的时代局限。需要从地理和学术两个层面去突破"美国视角",深化铁路华工研究。     

中国入境外国游客旅游行为研究

在心理测试量表调查的基础上,利用心理学实验,归纳,演绎推理,行为意象图,数理统计等分析方法,从游客决策行为、空间行为、旅游文化行为切入,研究中国热点城市日韩、北美、东南亚、欧洲客源市场游客的行为规律及其制约因素,构建主要群体入境游客的旅游行为模式,发现了入境外国游客旅游选择偏好、时空动态规律;探讨旅游决策的主导模式、范式和影响决策的可控因素;研究\"文化边际域\"中的跨文化冲突特征和旅游认知预期衰减效应模式;揭示了旅游意愿评价、旅游感知评价数量模型和四种不同群体游客文化交互模式。并提出了适应外国游客旅游行为的相应对策建议。     

国内外农民工空间回流及其区位研究进展

农民工空间回流正在改变我国农民工流动的空间格局,而回流区位决定了空间回流的具体流向和回流者的空间分布。通过对国内外相关文献的梳理和分析,发现相关研究多集中于经济学、人口学和社会学等学科。在研究内容上,国外主要集中于空间回流动因的理论阐释、空间回流影响因素、空间回流评价和区域影响等方面,而国内主要关注到了空间回流动因与机制、回流地及回流意愿地空间特征、空间回流的区域影响等领域。农民工空间回流的产生是宏观因素、中观因素和微观因素综合作用的结果,实际回流区位多以农民工源地附近的县城和小城镇为主,而回流意愿地多为大中城市,意愿与现实矛盾突出。农民工空间回流对务工城市和来源地农村均产生了重要影响,但这种影响可能为正面影响,也可能为负面影响。今后应加强回流区位的研究,尤其是理论研究,通过对典型案例的剖析,归纳总结回流区位的一般规律,同时,在研究方法上应加强模型分析、定量分析、空间分析等方法的应用。     

国际侨汇对移民来源国经济发展的影响——国外学术观点综述

论文从侨汇对贫困和收入分配的影响、侨汇对消费和投资的影响、侨汇的危机救助作用和对经济增长的影响、侨汇对公共投资和官方援助的影响、侨汇的＂道德风险＂和侨汇对人才流失的影响、侨汇对荷兰病和国际贸易的影响等六个方面,对国外的一些学术观点进行了分析阐述,认为前期的研究为本领域的研究提供了非常有价值的开拓性成果和坚实基础,但是目前国际侨汇的研究多集中于国别和微观的领域,在宏观综合分析、比较分析和理论探索方面还比较欠缺,诸多领域的研究工作还需要继续挖掘和探索,不少研究结论存在较大争议,因此还有许多问题亟需做进一步研究。     

Why are artists getting poorer? About the reproduction of low income among artists

In the period 2006 to 2013, Norway has experienced a substantial increase in public subsidies to culture as well as a substantial increase in real income growth in general. This paper discusses different explanations for why Norwegian artists’ real artistic income has declined between 2006 and 2013, despite the positive economic development in Norway. We have based the study in particular on two comparable studies on the income and work situation of Norwegian artists in 2006 and 2013. We analyse and discuss why the artists’ real artistic income has declined during this period. We do not find a single, general, explanation for this, but the income decline does not primarily seem to be due to either an increasing number of artists or a decline in public scholarships to artists. Our two most striking findings are: (i) A substantial decline in most artists’ artistic working hours and a corresponding increase in artistically related and non-artistic working hours, and (ii) a tendency for artists to derive less of their income from the market, together with an apparent decrease in cultural consumption (spending) among Norwegians. These two factors – especially the latter – seem to be the major factors behind the decline in artistic income.
