近代海南设关及其对外贸易

本所谓对外贸易,泛指海南岛以外的所有贸易,并非专指国际贸易,还包括海南与英、葡殖民统治下的香港、澳门,法属租借地广州湾(即湛江),以及国内其他埠际贸易。本将简要勾勒海南设关的历史,并围绕二十世纪二十年代至四十年代的海南对外贸易作一概述。     

中国旧海关统计的认知与利用

近代中国旧海关统计种类繁杂,采编形式又时有变化,只有从海关统计制度的演变过程切入,才可以明晰统计文本变化的内涵,并且通过对各类数据的规范定义、计量方法、书写格式等方面的更多把握,才能获得有关旧海关统计文本全面准确的认识,以便评估数据的度量精度、长处与不足,以资于研究者利用晚清至民国这一最为完整、系统的第一手资料,去拓宽、深入近代口岸以及所在地区经济与社会变迁的研究。     

Death and Burial Customs in Wiltshire.

Lavanis (ballads in the Kannada language) produced a vast body of discourse about the colonizers in Karnataka. They offer us glimpses of colonial relations, perceptions, and representations from the Indian side of the relationship. Such discourse ultimately allowed the British officials and the folk narrators to represent and legitimize both themselves and ‘the other’ simultaneously.

土族风情(三首)

关于土族先祖的勇武逝去如风,戎装①在妇女身上犹存。摒弃刀箭或被刀箭摒弃,(即便是传说或梦呓,那梦境也不乏动人。)注定了一次离乡背井。他们长途跋涉到这方沃土,一落脚就深深地扎根。(幸有北大坂遮风挡寒,清泉水润喉洗尘。)热恋土亲近土从土立命:土庄廓圈定安居乐耕心;土热炕孕育恬静温馨梦;土锅头烧熬②的酩馏儿,飘香十里八村;土烟囱添一笔袅袅炊烟,田园景致因之而灵秀生动。莫非因感恩斯土哺育,才有这朴实无华的命名?明明是客居的第二故乡,却爱之切切,厮守生生!痴情爱意播进土里,连同汗水和憧憬,那生命就蓬勃了——田里的庄稼顺人意泛绿…     

Embedded Internationalisms: Building Transnational Solidarity in the British and Norwegian Trade Union Movements

There has been growing interest in the prospects for a new trade union internationalism in recent years, following the end of the Cold War and the coming together of the main national union organisations into one confederation, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). For the first time in decades, geopolitical straitjackets and defensive nationalistic postures are giving way to more open, internationalist perspectives as unions attempt to get to grips with global capitalism. However, despite some well‐publicised grassroots globalisation campaigns, effective international labour organising and networking remains thin on the ground. One of the reasons for this is that, despite the rhetoric of globalisation and the reality of multi‐layered governance, the "national" space remains the critical scale at which unions operate. Variations in both union organisation and the politico‐institutional context within which unions operate nationally continue to shape international solidarity activities. This theme is pursued in this paper through the contrasting cases of the UK and Norwegian trade union movements. Although both union movements have been subject to similar problems in recent years, in terms of membership decline and the pressures of increasing global economic integration, the different national political and economic contexts within which unions are embedded have been important in facilitating or constraining international strategies.     

“关税特别会议”中有关附加税及税率问题之讨论

1925年10月26日召开的关税特别会议,就结果而言,一如之前历次商约、税则修改的谈判,成以失败告终;但就过程而论,却可视为近代中国在争取关税自主努力上的一个重要里程碑。在与会代表的努力和收回主权意识的觉醒下,为日后实行关税自主及开征二五附加税,奠定下了良好的基础。
