"西北风"终于"嫁了"

拖拖拉拉持续了将近2年的俄法“西北风”两栖攻击舰买卖合同终于在2010年的最后几天敲定。这一极具标志意义的合同曾因俄方故意放出的有关全球招标的消息而面临人们的质疑。     

"精品团队"的"经典套路"

2000年以来,江南机器集团五分厂已连续5年被公司评为质量工作先进单位,成为公司的精品团队,这支精品团队是怎样铸成的呢?把质量意识“烙”在脑中,“印”在心上。多年来,该厂极为注重抓全员质量意识教育,让员工树立起"质量是政治,质量是生命,质量是效益"的思想。该厂经常通过质量演讲会、质量有奖问答等活动,以及利用分厂网络、分厂简报等宣传、贯彻全面质量管理基本知识,让员工及时地了解企业的质量方针和质量动态,使员工们真正认识到质量的重要性。在一次质量演讲会上,一位员工用耗资庞大的美国"挑战者"仅仅毁在一个质量不过关的小小“O”…

"猫鸟"为"闪电"开路

美国F-35“闪电II”战斗机汇聚了数不清的众多高新技术,被誉为“世界上最先进的战斗机”。但鲜为人知的是,为这些高新技术和设备提供测试的空中平台却是一架简单得不能再简单的波音737-300型普通客机。这架经过改装的客机,作为F-35战斗机的空中试验平台,常年搭载各类工程技术人员,对即将装备战斗机的各种电子设备,特别是航空电子系统设备进行研发和试验测试。     

仅靠"重金"能"强军"吗

近日,印度政府宣布,将在2016年前拨款1100多亿美元,用于购买高技术武器装备。如此大手笔军购,引人注目,因此有人称印度此举为“重金强军”。     

"史"与"志"的区别

做好史志编修工作,应首先弄清"史"与"志"的关系。目前有些人,尤其是从事史志编修工作不久的人,对"史"与"志"的关系还弄不大清楚,认为志就是史,史就是志,有志即是有史。显然,这种认识是有失偏颇的。正确认识"史"与"志"的联系与区别,辩明其差异,对提高史志编修质量是很有益处的。     

"真心"听"真话"

1941年 1 1月 6日 ,陕甘宁边区召开第二届参议会。开幕式上 ,毛泽东要求参议员们本着知无不言 ,言无不尽的精神提意见。有个党外人士李鼎铭先生提出了一条非常有影响的“精兵简政”提案 ,反响很大。有一些议员认为正值抗战救国紧急关头 ,敌人以大量兵力向我们进攻 ,提案却要我们实行精兵简政 ,岂不是让我们束手待擒吗 ?甚至还有人怀疑李先生的动机不良。但毛泽东不仅对大家每一条提案都不放过 ,而且特别重视李鼎铭的提案 ,他在提案上划了很多红圈 ,并一字一句抄在自己的笔记本上。当这一提案提交大会讨论时 ,李鼎铭先生刚发完言 ,毛泽东主席…     

"脱离"和"超越"

与时俱进的核心在于把握时代特征,就是要随时代一起前进.但又不是凡进皆好,更不是盲目冒进.那种随波逐流、顺风而趋、投机取巧、追赶时髦的行为并不是与时俱进,而是形进而实退.所以,我们的思想政治工作必须顺应时代潮流,从时代特点的实际出发,研究新情况,解决新问题,探索新路子.适应时代要求,这是我们做好思想政治工作的前提.     

Desert insurgency: lessons from the third Tuareg rebellion

This article provides an in-depth examination and analysis of the 2006–2009 Tuareg rebellion in Mali and Niger. It identifies the underlying reasons behind the rebellion, explores contrasting counter-insurgency (COIN) strategies employed by the two governments, and presents some lessons learned. While both COIN approaches ultimately produced similar peace settlements, the article argues that the Malian strategy of reconciliation combined with the selective use of force was far more effective than the Nigerien iron fist approach at limiting the size and scope of the insurgency and producing a more sustainable peace. It concludes by looking at the role of external actors, particularly the United States, and how the failure to internationalize the conflict was actually more beneficial to the local COIN effort, as well as to the longer strategic interests of the United States in the region.     

‘God willing,I will be back’: Gauging the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's capacity to deter economic crimes in Liberia

Recently, in July 2012, the high-profile and bitterly fought nine-month race for the post of Chair of the African Union (AU) Commission, between Dr Jean Ping of Gabon, and his main challenger, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, culminated in the latter's victory. Her victory came after the deadlock at the Eighteenth AU Summit in January 2012. Borne out of the considered need for a quick fix through reliance on a vote of expediency, the election of Dr Dlamini-Zuma represented a political resolution to the crisis that arose due to the earlier ongoing electoral deadlock. Far from being a competitive election by design, the 2012 AU Commission election by default became transformed into an intensely fought campaign that put the AU in the limelight. This article briefly introduces the electoral process, explains in detail the voting behaviour of AU member states, and offers five specific reasons for the victory of Dr Dlamini-Zuma. On the surface the election looks very competitive, but the article explains why this is not the case. To create greater competition for these posts, the AU needs to overhaul the nomination process and the voting procedure. In this regard, the article proffers detailed analysis and proposes a radical revision of the existing criteria for the nomination. The article also proposes specific recommendations for the amendment of the rules of procedure of the AU Assembly to allow for a qualified majority as a deadlock breaker in the fifth round. It also assesses whether the integrity of the AU Commission election was damaged during the campaigning and voting process. In this regard, it recommends the development of a code of conduct for future elections at the AU.     

2015 and the survival of the Nigerian State

Nigeria is currently faced with serious domestic challenges. While the state is not officially at war, it is standing on the precipice, especially with the eruption of violence occasioned by the emergence of the Boko Haram sect and the tenuous peace in the Niger Delta. With the 2015 general elections on the horizon, fears of further violence and disintegration are rife, more so because of the debate over who occupies the Presidential Villa at Abuja. President Goodluck Jonathan, a southerner, seems poised for a comeback even amidst the vociferous challenge posed by the political elites of northern Nigeria. This article looks at the different scenarios that might play out in 2015. It analyses the challenges of the survival of the Nigerian state, and makes some policy recommendations that Nigeria and its people need to put into place in order to ensure its survival beyond 2015.     

境外行政主体制度研究

行政主体理论自行政法成为公法重要组成部分时便成为行政法几个核心理论之一。自《中华人民共和国行政诉讼法》实施以来,行政主体理论研究成为我国行政法理论研究的重点之一。我国关于行政主体的内涵及外延,学术界各抒己见,至今缺乏统一的论断。境外一些行政法理论发达国家和地区的行政主体制度对于我们具有借鉴意义。     

The case for Azawad

Since Mali achieved independence from France, the marginalised Tuareg population of Mali has sought independence and the right to form their own nation, ‘Azawad’. These efforts have continuously been frustrated by the Tuaregs' neighbours, due to competing nationalist pride and interests in the mineral resources believed to lie under the northern Malian soil. Thus far, the Tuaregs of northern Mali have been largely neglected and denied both inclusive and effective governance by the various Malian governments from the southern Malian capital of Bamako. When negotiations have failed, Tuareg attempts to seize their own independence through violence have been brutally crushed by the Malian government. The Malian government will neither advance the interests of the Tuaregs nor allow them the freedom to pursue their own path in the world. The advent of the ‘Arab Spring’ in Libya provided another opportunity for the Tuaregs to pursue their dreams of an independent Azawad. Tuareg fighters returning from Libya carried with them both considerable combat experience and stockpiles of arms that they used to temporarily free their homeland. Unfortunately, the Tuaregs' whirlwind conquest of northern Mali was undone by the emergence of a new transnational threat in the Sahel. Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) supplanted the previously victorious Tuaregs and attempted to turn Azawad into a Taliban-esque caliphate. French intervention defeated AQIM, but set the stage for a continuation of the cycle of violence and instability borne from the unwillingness of the international community to support the Tuaregs' legitimate right to self-determination.

含孔洞铜板复合材料修复疲劳寿命数值分析

用ANSYS有限元软件对复合材料修复含中心圆孔钢板的疲劳寿命进行了数值分析。研究了孔洞大小、补片长度、宽度和厚度对钢板疲劳寿命的影响;分析了复合材料胶接修补的效果,并对修复所用的复合材料补片的大小及厚度进行了优化设计。研究结果表明,利用复合材料胶接修补带中心圆孔的钢板可以使其疲劳性能提高1.6~18倍。修补时,增加补片宽度和厚度都可增加结构疲劳寿命;补片宽度为孔径8倍以上时,增加宽度对疲劳寿命影响不大;补片的长度为孔径的3~4倍时,修复效果最佳。     

Forecasting a Hurricane: Israeli and American Estimations of the Khomeini Revolution

The surprising ‘Arab Spring’ raises the question as to what would enable national intelligence to provide high quality warnings prior to the eruption of popular revolutions. This article uses new sources of evidence to trace and explain Israel's success in comparison to US failure at correctly estimating the course of the Iranian Revolution in 1977–79. In explaining this variance, the article shows that it was mainly the result of the intimate acquaintance of Israel's representatives in Iran with the local language, history and culture, as well as the ability to communicate with locals – tools which the Americans completely lacked.     

Land power in the age of joint interdependence: toward a theory of land power for the twenty-first century*

This essay outlines a theory of land power. After explaining the absence of such a theory, the article establishes the modern context for such a theory, specifically within the concept of joint interdependence. The analysis defines key terms and premises behind the theory, to include a definition of land power. The argument then outlines the national elements of power that contribute to a theory of land power. The analysis next applies the theory to the fundamental purposes of military power: defeat, deter, compel, assure, shape and support to the nation. The analysis then tests key definitions, supporting premises, and utility of the theory. The essay argues that historical experience validates the applicability and utility of the theory, and offers a solid basis for extrapolating the validity of the theory into the near future.
