行纪具有独特的史料价值。这类作都是作据亲历所,内容丰富、生动、具体,其中许多内容还为官私述所不备。本选取清康熙时期扈从康熙出巡塞外(主要是蒙古地区)诸臣所留6篇蒙古行纪,结合相关官私史料,重点从口外蒙古地区的农业发展情况、木兰秋弥、多伦诺尔会盟等三个方面探讨行纪中有关蒙古地区的独特记载。     

Betwixt and between in the intermediate area

The great diversity in early subsistence practices and in the later development of complex patterns of social, political, and economic organization is one of the Intermediate Area's greatest riches for comparative anthropological study. Archaeological research there is now in the midst of the conceptual shift needed to take full advantage of the opportunities offered.     

The Intersection of Narrative Policy Analysis and Policy Change Theory

Narrative policy analysis and policy change theory rarely intersect in the literature. This research proposes an integration of these approaches through an empirical analysis of the narrative political strategies of two interest groups involved in policy debate and change over an eight‐year period in the Greater Yellowstone Area. Three research questions are explored: (i) Is it possible to reconcile these seemingly disparate approaches? (ii) Do policy narrative strategies explain how interest groups expand or contain policy issues despite divergent core policy beliefs? (3) How does this new method of analysis add to the literature? One hundred and five documents from the Greater Yellowstone Coalition and the Blue Ribbon Coalition were content analyzed for policy narrative strategies: identification of winners and losers, diffusion or concentration of costs and benefits, and use of condensation symbols, policy surrogates, and science. Five of seven hypotheses were confirmed while controlling for presidential administration and technical expertise. The results indicate that interest groups do use distinctive narrative strategies in the turbulent policy environment.     

Cartographic conflicts within a union: Finding land for Nagaland in India

Colonial-era borders continue to be sites of intra- and inter-national territorial conflicts across the Indian Sub-continent. The State of Nagaland in North East India has been witness to one of the oldest armed struggles in the region to redraw colonial borders. The Nagaland government finds itself sandwiched between an irredentist insurgency and the union government. This paper examines the cartographic-statistical fallout of the Nagaland government's balancing act that is reflected in, among other things, the diversity of conflicting maps published by different tiers and wings of the government. The paper suggests that the cartographic/territorial conflicts between Nagaland and its neighbouring states are driven by the use of political-geographic arguments to advance political-economic interests along contested borders. These conflicts are not amenable to a technical resolution as they are rooted in the as yet inconclusive search for a stable basis for Naga identity and the ongoing dispute over Nagaland's place within the Union of India. Nagaland's borders are, in fact, sites of collision of different conceptions of nationhood (Indian and Naga) and understandings of constitutional federalism. The union government tolerates Nagaland's parchment transgressions and occasional physical “encroachments.” Its cartographic laxity is motivated by the need to avoid a strictly legalistic approach that would necessitate the use of force to implement a singular, exclusive solution to protracted territorial disputes involving several states.     

《水经·涑水注》校笺及水道与政区复原

《水经注》是我国古代以水道为纲记载地理信息的著名典籍,对于研究早期水道情况和政区变迁有着极为重要的意义。本文以《水经注》卷六《涑水篇》作为研究对象,在前人既有研究的基础之上,利用相关文献和考古资料对其进行全面考释,主要涉及文本校勘、史源探求以及对水道、城邑分布的复原,并以古今对照的形式绘制出地图,将研究的结果直观呈现出来。     

皖江经济带城市空间演化态势研究

城市空间演化包括两个方面,即城市建设用地的规模扩展和城市建设用地的数量分配比例及空间结构演变。本文首先提出了皖江经济带城市用地扩展的时序特征、类型特点、景观表现和效益特征,并相应分析了其形成机制。然后就皖江经济带及各城市的城市用地结构变化程度、变动方向和类型、与城市职能的关系等特征及形成机制进行详细的分析。     

峡江地区龙山时代遗存初步研究

本文根据对峡江地区龙山时代诸典型遗址的分析,将魏家梁子文化分成两期四段．第一期约在公元前2600～前2300年,第二期约在公元前2300～前2000年或略晚。并对其渊源与发展流向,其与鄂西、川西同时代考古学文化的关系进行了分析与论证。     

区域一体化进程中的国际城市系统研究——以图们江地区为例

本文在考察图们江地区国际城市系统的形成与发展及其现状特点的基础上,分析了主要影响与制约因素,预测了未来图们江地区国际城市系统的发展趋势。图们江地区国际城市系统是区域一体化的必然产物,短期内,基本发展框架是以中国珲春、俄罗斯斯拉夫扬卡和朝鲜罗津为顶点的"小三角"核心区为主;长期来看,则将在以中国延吉市、俄罗斯海参崴市、朝鲜清津市为顶点的"大三角"框架下发展,以现代国际网络城市系统构成东北亚地区国际物流中心与增长极。     

移民网络、社会资源配置与中国东北新移民--美国旧金山湾区田野调查札记

在田野调查访谈的基础上,本文以美国旧金山湾区的中国东北新移民为研究实例,对社会资本和非制度性的社会资源配置在当代中国的跨国移民活动中所扮演的具体角色进行考察和分析。本文认为,近年来迅速崛起的东北新移民已开始成为当代中国国际移民潮的主要成员之一。近10多年来东北地区之所以会出现大规模移民海外的现象,其中既有古典经济学移民理论所提出的经济层面的原因,也有中国社会内部制度变迁的深层因素。而非制度性社会资源配置机制中的强、弱两种关系网,尤其是海外新移民社会中的弱关系网络,则对当代东北人的跨境迁徙活动及其在海外移居社会寻找工作等方面做出了莫大的贡献。
