清前期的西北战局与阿拉善蒙古

阿拉善蒙古形成之时,正是清前期西北地区各方政治势力矛盾冲突不断加剧的时期,本文将阿拉善蒙古放到这一动荡局势中进行考察,分析了其与西北其他势力集团的复杂关系,探讨了其与清政府之间相互选择的过程,并论述了阿拉善蒙古对清政府稳定西北局势所发挥的重要作用。     

抗日战争时期中国西北地区工业化思想述论

“九一八”事变之后,国人痛感东北之沦丧与民族之危机,开始关注西北地区。国民政府曾设想依靠西北为长期抗战的后方根据地,并以开发西北相号召,希望促进西北经济的发展,以增强抗战的力量,西北地区工业化的问题随之提出。时人对西北地区的工业化问题进行了充分的探讨,其中许多真知灼见在今天看来仍不无启发意义。     

The Ambivalent Moderation of Hindu Nationalism in India

Despite regular participation in national and regional elections and occupation of office both at the centre and in the regional governments, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not acquired the aura of moderation. It has not achieved acceptance into the party system of India in a manner that would make it comparable to Christian Democratic parties in Europe. This appears puzzling in the light of Downs’ moderation thesis, which suggests that regular participation in free, fair and competitive elections transforms extremist parties to moderates as they converge towards the median voter. The article approaches this puzzling counterfactual in intra-system comparison by drawing on the case of Sikh nationalism. With a focus on BJP, the article presents an analysis of party competition, party programs, policies and public opinion data on issue positions and the social base of the party. In conclusion, three general enabling conditions are identified that help explain the deviant case of the ambivalent moderation of the BJP.

印度人民党虽然参加全国和地方选举,虽然在中央和地方政府中任职,但并没有因此就有稳健克制的样子。它没有能够像欧洲的基督教民主党那样被纳入印度的政党体系。这就成为汤恩的克制理论解释不了的谜团,按汤氏的理论,正常参加自由、公正而竞争性的选举,会使极端主义政党变得稳健克制,向一般投票者趋近。本文通过系统内比较,以民族主义的锡克教为例,破解了这个谜团。作者聚焦印度人民党,分析了政党竞争,政党计划、政策以及关于某些话题立场的舆论资料、还有政党的社会基础。作者发现三种情形能够一般性地解释印度人民党的偏激不稳健。     

近代西北皮毛贸易与社会变迁

自清代晚期以来,随着中西贸易的不断深化和扩大,皮毛贸易逐渐成了整个西北商业、金融运行的"发动机",这个"发动机"不仅有力地推动了西北城镇布局的演变,而且还有力地改变了西北牧民的消费结构。前者主要表现在西北城镇布局从以河西走廊为中心逐渐转变为以沿黄河为中心的格局,也就是说,西北城镇布局由历来以东西为主转变为以南北为主的格局;后者主要表现在牧民购买粮、布等生活用品的数量和品种的急剧增加,从而使其衣食结构等方面发生了重大变化。不仅如此,皮毛贸易还引起了西北牧民的思想意识和生产结构等诸方面的变化,这些也是值得关注和研讨的问题。
