苏元春与近代广西边疆地区经济发展研究

晚清时期,作为广西边防的主要负责人,苏元春高度重视通过发展经济以加强边防实力。苏元春推动广西边疆地区经济发展的主要措施有积极改善交通状况、开发利用特色资源、兴办实业、移民实边、活跃市场、稳定边疆环境等。对于苏元春所遗留的相关资源,晚清民国时期主政广西边疆地区者大多积极加以利用,在一定程度上推进了广西边疆地区经济社会的发展。

清代湘西社会变迁与白帝天王信仰故事演变——以杨氏家族为例

乾嘉苗民起义后，清王朝在湘西地区实行的屯政极大加剧了民间完粮纳税负担．使大众对风调雨顺、农业丰收更为渴望。白帝天王信仰的祈雨功能以及天王与龙神的关系由此凸显，并影响到乱后重建的杨氏家族。在结合其他家族世系和民间传闻后，一个与清前期家族叙事差异很大的故事被杨氏创造出来，并机缘巧合的进入地方志．成为晚清、民国时期一种普遍流行的地方话语。

浅论两广蔗糖运销网络的构成运营及其特色——以晚清民国为考察时段

晚清民国时期,两广蔗糖运销形成以基本圩镇市场、中心市镇市场、中心城市市场等组成的四级流通网络,糖商成为运销网络的主体。鸦片战争之后,在外国洋糖倾销的冲击下,两广蔗糖运销逐渐走向衰微。民国时期两广蔗糖业现代化的尝试给蔗糖运销带来了一些生机,但被后来的中日战争打断。两广蔗糖运销形成以广东为主、广西为辅,相互依赖的运营模式和特征。     

广西历代交通与通道商贸史略

广西区位僻远,地形复杂,内外交通建设受军事因素的影响极大。先秦至南朝时期,广西交通得到初步发展。隋至宋,广西交通体系基本形成。从宋代开始,岭南交通的功能开始向经济型转变。元至清中期,广西交通体系日益完善。晚清至民国时期,广西交通进入现代化起步阶段。中华人民共和国成立后,广西交通进入全面建设时期,尤其是改革开放之后,广西现代交通更是快速发展。随着广西内外交通的进步,广西的商业贸易也随之不断发展。     

晚清时期广西货币体系状况概述

广西固有的银钱复本位制,在晚清时期开始变得混乱不堪,而外国货币的涌入和中国自身币制改的失败,进一步加剧了晚清广西货币体系的混乱,以致形成杂乱不堪的局面,对社会经济的发展极为不利。     

从草洲到码头:咸同以降黄陂范氏的宗族建设与码头经营

在江汉平原特殊的地理环境中,宗族组织发展与水域社会之间存在着复杂的关系。以往研究表明,清中期及以前的江汉平原,对湖产和垸田的争夺是该时期宗族组织建设的主要诱因和推动力。但对晚清民国时期江汉平原宗族的研究并未延续前述思路,多从近代化的角度予以阐述。从晚清民国时期黄陂范氏的宗族建设过程中,可以看到江汉平原宗族组织如何适应、利用新形势来维护和延续业已形成的"业权"所属。从湖产、垸田争夺到码头开发,构成了清代以来江汉平原湖区开发的历史缩影。     

Neoliberalizing Border Management in Finland and Schengen

Abstract: This paper provides a critical examination of the development of border management in Finland and the Schengen Area, the point of departure being that contemporary performances of border enforcement and security cannot be understood as distinct from the process of neoliberalization. The particular case which is examined is that of the Finnish Border Guard (FBG) service. Border management in Finland provides an interesting case not only because Finland is responsible for controlling the Schengen, European Union–Russian border but also because since Finnish state reforms in the early 1990s, neoliberal rationales have increasingly provided the guidelines for how to calculate and optimize border security. This paper emphasizes that the rationales of border management should be made transparent and opened for public debate. The analysis is structured around the themes of internationalization, competitiveness, risk prevention and the functioning of society, all of which are regarded as the key rationales of neoliberalized border governance.     

People Active in Border Area

Gendering Border Studies

Scholars working in (post)colonial settings have called for more-than-human (MTH) and post-human geographies to shift their gaze beyond Anglo-European ways of knowing the world. In this paper I explore the opportunities for an MTH political project that works in solidarity with and learns from Indigenous communities. I begin by examining the considerable synergies between MTH theorists’ understandings of nonhuman agency and kinship, and the worldviews of Ngāi Tahu (a Māori tribe). I then examine how Ngāi Tahu have worked within a new water management regime in the Canterbury region of Aotearoa New Zealand to articulate a relational ethics with the Hurunui River. In navigating multiple tensions and advocating for the lively river, the political space of the new catchment committee was expanded to (begin to) include the river. However, non-Māori who attempted to describe an understanding of a river-kin were less successful. This unevenness, I argue, highlights the complementary contributions to be made by expanded theoretical engagements. In particular there are generative possibilities for MTH theorists to work alongside Indigenous communities, and carve political space for more people to advocate for a relational ethics.     

Border Anxiety in Palestine–Israel

In this paper, I deal with representations of Palestinian women and their experiences with Israeli national security. In particular I explore how the political philosophy of Agamben and feminist psychoanalytic ideas of “abjection” could assist in understanding the nature and flexibility of the power relationships between Palestinian women and the Israeli state. I pay specific attention to moments when women carry out suicide attacks or when pregnant women in labour are forced to give birth at the checkpoint. I argue that, from a Western perspective, pregnant and exploding women's leaky bodily boundary embodies Israeli fears about the leakiness of the border between Israel and Palestine, fears which necessitated the construction of a so‐called “security fence” in order to create a hermetic border. As such, I emphasize women's capacity to produce, heighten and dissolve boundaries, bodily and political, thereby advancing a radically different kind of political geography.     

Border blocking effects in collaborative firm innovation

Border regions are not often associated with innovation and economic prosperity. And even when they are prosperous, cross-border interaction is still mostly limited. The opening up of borders in Europe has presented new opportunities for firms located in these border regions to co-operate for innovation and knowledge to flow across borders. Despite the reduction of the importance of borders, firms seeking to access cross-border knowledge resources need still to ‘cross’ the border and address the various effects it brings. This paper therefore asks the question of how the presence of a border affects the processes by which firms attempt to build up productive co-operations for innovation. We use a heuristic of collaborative innovation across borders as building up through four sequential cooperation stages, and each of these different stages is susceptible to different kinds of border effects. Using a case study of firms co-operating across the Dutch-Flemish border, we empirically explore these border crossing processes in order to shed further light on how border processes play out.     

Border guarding and the politics of the body: an examination of the Finnish Border Guard service

In previous studies, the question of the state control over the bodies of people at border-crossing points has been of great interest, while less attention has been given to the bodies that carry out border surveillance and control. This article introduces a new perspective on the study of the state and gender by examining the imaginations and rationalities of state border guarding and the politics of the body in the Finnish Border Guard (FBG) service. By taking the body politics and gendered relations of border guarding as an analytical starting point, this study takes a step forward toward ‘feminizing’ the study of borders and border securitization. The article scrutinizes the depictions, articulations, and conceptualizations of the work competence in border guarding and the performances of female border guards in the official media of the FBG organization, as well as discusses how the interrelations of border guarding and body politics become structured around questions concerning masculine romantics, the (in)capacities of female officers and the embodied nature of border monitoring. The study shows the pervasive, and also controversial, nature of gendered imaginations and rationalities in the domain of border guarding in contemporary societies.

铁路筹建与清末广西边防

广西边防建设在相当长一段时间内没有铁路建设的内容,这与清政府对铁路建设态度的转变有一定联系。但广西铁路的筹建确实又缘起于加强广西边防的考虑,首先比较清楚地意识到加强广西边防建设必须修建广西铁路的是广西巡抚张鸣岐,他在全面考量广西边防总体战略部署之后提出了广西边防战略交通网的规划,并以其中的桂邕铁路为基础进一步提出了广西铁路线网规划。
