One continent,two federalisms: rediscovering the original meanings of Australian federal ideas

Federalism is usually described in political science as a single body of ideas—in Australia's case arriving in the 1840s–50s and moving to constitutional reality in the 1890s. This article re‐examines the origins and diversity of federal ideas in Australia. It suggests that federal thought began influencing Australia's constitutional development significantly earlier than previously described. This first Australian federalism had a previously unappreciated level of support in British colonial policy and drew on Benjamin Franklin's American model of territorial change as a ‘commonwealth for increase’. The revised picture entrenches the notion of federalism's logic but also reveals a dynamic, decentralist style of federalism quite different from Australia's orthodox ‘classic’ or compact federal theory. In fact, Australian political thought contains two often‐conflicting ideas of federalism. The presence of these approaches helps explain longstanding dissent over the regional foundations of Australian constitutionalism.     

Japanese Saris: Dress,Globalisation and Multiple Migrants

In this article, which is based on research in Leicester and Nairobi undertaken for the Cultural Olympiad exhibition Suits and Saris (New Walk Museum and Art Gallery, Leicester, 2012), we examine the phenomenon of Japanese saris — fashion-forward synthetic saris manufactured in Japan — and Leicester sari shop owners’ role in their design and popularity in the 1970s and early 1980s. We use this previously untold story to explore transnational identities as manifested through cultures of dress. We investigate the transnational space in which these saris were produced and used, and we focus in particular on the multiple migrant experiences of East African Asians, many of whom emigrated to Britain during the late 1960s and 1970s. We argue that the truly global phenomenon of Japanese saris would not have been possible without the transnational and multiple migrant nature of the South Asian diaspora.

Migrants,civil society and the New Europe: The challenge for planners

International migration into European cities has stirred a great deal of debate about appropriate national policies. But the planning literature has been remarkably silent on the issues involved, particularly as immigration affects urban conditions. This paper is a first attempt to delineate the problems and to suggest ways that planners can contribute to the economic, socio‐cultural and political integration of international migrants at the local level.     

Migrants and the diffusion of low marital fertility in Belgium

Although the diffusion of fertility behavior between different social strata in historical communities has received considerable attention in recent studies, the relationship between the diffusion of fertility behavior and the diffusion of people (migration) during the nineteenth century remains largely underexplored. Evidence from population registers compiled in the Historical Database of the Liège Region, covering the period of 1812 to 1900, reveals that migrant couples in Sart, Belgium, from 1850 to 1874 and from 1875 to 1899 had a reduced risk of conception. The incorporation of geographical mobility, as well as the migrant status of both husbands and wives, into this fertility research sheds light not only on the spread of ideas and behaviors but also on the possible reasons why the ideas and behaviors of immigrants might have been similar to, or different from, those of a native-born population.

抗战时期迁移人口的结构分析——浙江省个案研究

抗战时期迁移人口的结构状况,可以从浙江省的个案研究中得到实证性的解答。从籍贯构成上看,迁出省外的人口以杭州、绍兴、宁波、金华等地居多。从年龄和性别构成上看,迁移人口大多比较年轻,其中劳动年龄人口占主要比重,育龄妇女人数较多;迁移人口的性别比较高,大批男性为避战祸加入迁移人口的行列。从职业构成上看,迁移人口成分极其复杂,几乎囊括社会绝大多数行业,其中主要有农民、工商业者、文化人及政府工作人员、医生等。     

Shared Spaces of Transnational Transit: Filipino Gay Tourists,Labour Migrants,and the Borders of Class Difference

Between 2006 and 2008, I conducted autoethnographic research in what I refer to as Manila's ‘‘bright lights'' gay scene. As part of that research, I collected travel stories from young, urban, middle and upper-class gay men, in an attempt to draw out the relationship between transnational mobility, urban gay life, and dreams of global belonging. This article comes out of those stories as well as out of my own stories of living in, leaving, and returning to Manila. Starting with the international airport as a trope for the shifting boundaries that exist between kinds of travellers based on class identity, the essay moves on to describe the nationalised, gendered and class-specific divisions that cut across the transnational flows of gay Filipino culture globally.

美国技术移民政策综述

论文从美国移民政策的历史沿革、机构设置、特点,尤其是以技术移民政策方面美国吸引外国人才的制度优势为着眼点,综合梳理了美国技术移民政策的相关研究成果,包括最新的调查报告及统计数据等。认为美国的移民政策始终基于国家利益和经济发展的需要,经历了自由开放、限制移民和高度选择三个阶段。美国虽然是世界上最大的移民接受国和技术人才引进国,但它的移民构成特点仍以家庭关系移民为主。它通过永久居留类职业签证、临时居留类职业签证、临时居留类的留学生和学者签证等三种签证类型吸引人才,并且建立了劳工证制度、配额制、担保制、优越的科研条件等多制度配合的吸纳人才体系。     

南京大屠杀期间的难民医疗救助

南京沦陷后,日军制造了南京大屠杀,南京的医疗救助任务空前繁重。虽然绝大多数医生在沦陷前离开了南京,但是留在南京的西方人士、慈善机构、隐匿身份生活在难民收容所内的军医以及参差不齐的民间医生出于人道主义立场,以各自的方式投入南京的医疗救助。南京内外信息交流初步恢复后,西方在宁人士又积极申请外援,经历一波三折,方才成行。上述努力为南京难民挺过难关做出了贡献。

Permanent Migrants and Cross-Border Workers: The Effects on the Host Country

Using a two-factor, two-good model, where only one of the goods is nontraded, I investigate the effects of immigration on the relative price of the two goods, the wage rate, and the rental price. I also demonstrate that the inflow of foreign workers gives rise to an increase in the welfare of the native inhabitants in the host country, and if the nontraded good is capital (labor) intensive, the inflow of permanent migrants is of more (less) benefit to the native inhabitants than the inflow of cross-border workers.
