Policies and Ideologies of the Kim Jong-un Regime in North Korea: Theoretical Implications

Soon after the death of Kim Jong-il on 17 December 2011, his youngest and previously least-known son, Kim Jong-un, was declared the next leader of North Korea. At least for now, it seems clear that the Kim Jong-un regime is determined to uphold the established policies and ideologies of its predecessor. The present study attempts to explain why that is the case using path-dependence theory. Obviously, the old policies and ideologies are intimately bound up with the political processes of the present regime. North Korea’s unique monolithic system, comprising the Juche ideology and the military-first policy, which was constructed during the Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il regimes, has exerted a comprehensive influence on the country’s political and socioeconomic development processes for decades, and it is clear that the existing policy and the institutional framework based on it wield a powerful influence on the current political processes. This greatly restricts the autonomy and the range of choices of the new incumbent, suggesting that path dependence is relevant in the case of the North Korean regime.     

Fractal analysis of veins in Permian carbonate rocks in the Lingtanchang anticline,western China

Statistical analysis of the thickness distribution of veins in the Lingtanchang structure, southern Sichuan basin, western China, indicates that vein thickness conforms to fractal character and a power‐law distribution, whereas various distributions of veins are indicated by both the spacing distribution and the C_v values. According to geometry and structure, the veins in the Lingtanchang structure can be divided into confined and through‐going veins. The statistical analyses show that confined intralayer veins are consistent with a power‐law distribution in thickness, with D_t values of 1.1–1.7 and a log‐normal distribution in spacing with C_v values of 0.8–0.9. The confined intra‐ to interlayer veins show D_t values of 1.0–1.3 and an exponential distribution in spacing, with C_v values of 0.9–1.0, indicating an unconnected vein network with weak ability for paleofluid flow. However, the through‐going veins show the lowest D_t values of 0.6–0.8 with a power‐law distribution in thickness and power‐law to exponential distribution in spacing with C_v values of 1.5–3.2. Differences in spacing distribution and in the thickness of veins can be explained by different stages of vein growth from confined to through‐going veins. Such processes are dominant with percolating cluster models, which significantly controls spatial distribution of veins and paleofluid flow, and therefore the reservoir conditions in the southern Sichuan basin.     

论钱穆文化民族主义史学思想的形成

在20世纪的中国史学中,钱穆的史学独树一帜,是文化民族主义史学的代表人物。钱穆的文化民族主义思想,发轫于30年代中期,形成于30年代末,以《国史大纲》的完成为其标志。以考据起家的钱穆最终转向对考据学风的批评,是因为他认识到一味埋首考据,不利于民族精神的张扬,所以他站在民族文化的立场上对新考据派作不遗余力的批评,这是他文化民族主义思想产生的内在动因;基于民族危机的刺激而产生的救亡意识是他文化民族主义思想产生的现实动因。自《国史大纲》完成后,钱穆学问研究的重心发生了转变,由历史研究转向文化研究,为中国文化招魂、续命遂成为他一生的志业所在。     

四川汉源县水井湾皇木采办遗迹考

通过对四川省汉源县皇木镇水井湾遗址的考察和发掘,首次发掘出了明代皇木采办所留圆木遗物,推测认为发掘的圆木或是明末皇木采办遗留的不合式的残木,或为运送皇木的滑槽遗木,进而证明了明清之际叶氏家族在汉源县皇木镇采办皇木的历史事实,同时也复原了当时大渡河沿岸山地的植被景观,对环境考古研究有重要的参考价值。     

马克思、恩格斯与伦敦世界博览会

1851年的伦敦世界博览会是历史上首次大规模的人类文明交流,引发了无产阶级革命导师的新思考,产生了一些新思想、新观念。马克思、恩格斯以敏锐的眼光看到了伦敦世博会的重要意义、所蕴藏的历史启示以及对人类文明的引领功能。他们坚决反对维利希、金克尔等为代表的极端政治流亡者以革命为儿戏,鼓吹暗杀与暴动。伦敦世博会后,马克思、恩格斯实现了从准备再次发动革命到为未来革命积蓄力量的策略转变。马克思认识到,当资产阶级社会的生产力正在蓬勃发展的时候,谈不到什么真正的革命。新的革命只有在新的危机之后才可能发生。     

二十世纪《淮南子》研究

《淮南子》内容丰富,体系庞大,20 世纪的学人从各个方面对其展开了不同层次的研究,取得了丰硕的成果。但是从学术史的角度对其进行一次系统的梳理,在学术界没有引起足够的重视。因此本文尝试从具体的史料分析和归纳总结中,客观地展现出《淮南子》研究的时代特色和鲜明的自身特点来,希望为未来《淮南子》的研究寻找新的视野、开拓更宽广的学术平台。

黄金周旅游的理性回归

黄金周旅游现象是目前我国旅游业发展中一种非常重要的现象。作为一种“政策经济”,在推动旅游业快速发展的同时,又引发了一系列问题。旅游需求的集中释放导致了许多失衡现象的发生和市场有效配置功能的失效;市场的压抑性调节又使黄金周旅游现象不断出现新的特点,以人为本和度假休闲成为黄金周旅游的最本质要求。黄金周旅游的卖方市场地位已经发生动摇,黄金周旅游作为过渡时期的特殊现象,最终将归于理性。     

我国遗产旅游开发的问题、误区及对策研究 --关于"世遗门票上涨"的思考

超载开发与资金匮乏是困扰我国遗产旅游开发的两大主要问题,也是保护与发展所争论的焦点。北京六大世遗门票上涨事件引发了全国各遗产景区的连锁反应,凸显了我国遗产旅游市场的非理性运作,也揭示了部分开发者对资源与产品的认识误区。本文以此为切入点,从经济学的角度分析了单一的票价调控机制在调节人流和增收资金两方面的局限性,并建议从提高认识、多渠道融资、多手段调节及深化公众参与制度等四方面来探索遗产旅游开发问题的解决之道。
