对全球化和区域主义的历史考察

今天,由经济和信息通讯所带来的全球化的范围和深度是前所未有的。全球化具有把各个社会向一个方向归并的倾向,但其结果却不会把各个社会汇聚一处,因为尽管各种文化之间会相互融合,但各个社会的文化发展是按照平行线的方向独立进行的。全球化的发展会给每个地区带来地域经济的新变化,所以,创造地域独立性与传统价值观相协调的新文化,是今天所有国家共同面对的任务。     

大陆居民赴台旅游影响研究——基于台湾居民感知的视角

两岸直航开通促使两岸往来更加密切,开放大陆居民赴台旅游使前往台湾的游客日益增多,这是台湾旅游发展历程中的一个重要里程碑。本文以大陆居民赴台旅游的影响为研究对象,探究台湾居民对大批大陆游客访台所造成影响的感知,以及未来台湾进一步发展旅游的对策和建议。研究旨在探讨台湾居民对台湾开放大陆旅游市场后,台湾旅游发展正面及负面影响的感知,并从居民性别,年龄,旅游正、负面影响相互关系以及对旅游发展的支持度等方面,进行相互关联性的实证研究。     

Infrastructure Nation: State Space,Hegemony, and Hydraulic Regionalism in Pakistan

Large‐scale infrastructures are often understood by state planners as fulfilling a national integrative function. This paper challenges the idea of infrastructures as national integrators by engaging theories of state/nation formation and infrastructure in a postcolonial context. Specifically, I put Lefebvre's characterization of the production of state space as a homogenization‐differentiation dialectic in conversation with Gramsci's understanding of hegemony, bureaucracy, and nationalism to analyze the controversy surrounding the giant Tarbela Dam in Pakistan in the 1960s. I use the Tarbela controversy as a case study to elaborate a theory of postcolonial nation‐formation through state‐led infrastructural projects. I argue that in a postcolonial context the failure to articulate a hegemonic nationalist ideology to accompany the production of large‐scale infrastructure results in a fragmentation of state space in some ways, even as state space is homogenized and integrated in other ways. The paper also offers a “hydraulic lens” on the politics of regionalism in Pakistan.     

Fire,Smoke, and Judah in Judges: A Response to Gregory Wong

Abstract

In a recent SJOT article, Gregory Wong set out to “[reexamine] the evidence for the alleged pro-Judah polemic in Judges.” His conclusion is that “even though the body of evidence commonly cited in support of a direct pro-Judah polemic [in Judges] seems impressive at first glance, a case-by-case examination seems to suggest that it is, unfortunately, a case of all smoke but no fire.” As a member of the rapidly growing group of scholars who believe otherwise, I would like, in my turn, to examine the arguments presented by Wong in support of this conclusion. I will demonstrate that although some of these arguments, mainly those having to do with Judah’s presentation in Judges 1, are valid and rightfully refute certain vulnerable interpretations, overall Wong’s case against seeing Judges as a profoundly pro-Judah text is extremely weak.

Mankind's Future: An Astronomical View Comets,Ice Ages and Catastrophes

Abstract

The 1758 return of Halley's comet confirmed the standing of Newton's law of gravity and initiated the decline of a catastrophist view of Earth history. There is no good reason why one should have implied the other, but three returns later, the implication appears still to be quite entrenched. This is evidenced in part by reactions over the past three decades to Velikovskian claims. Recent discoveries, however, have thrown new light on old catastrophist conjectures. It now appears that the Galaxy may well control terrestrial evolution, and that it does so catastrophically through the agency of successive giant comets. The most recent of these appears to have left a dense swathe of debris in Earth-crossing orbits; on the time scale of human civilisation, this material constitutes an appreciable and hitherto unrecognised hazard. Such findings now seem likely to affect materially our understanding of recorded history and our quest for survival on this planet.

Economic Globalization and its Problems: A Response to Eaton,Herpel, and Moe-Lobeda and Spencer

Abstract

Building on the other papers in this issue, I offer a theological critique of economic globalization. The theory, or "theology" that supports it leads people of good will, despite the many negative consequences of the globalized pursuit of growth, to pursue such growth, as measured by GDP, as the goal of economic policy. This economistic theology takes no account of human community or ecological sustainability. Until it is changed economists will continue to direct us toward catastrophe.
