英语学习者对词典插图的需求调查

插图词目的选择随意性强。要充分发挥词典插图的作用,就应该使插图的配置有据可依。词典学界还没有人就词典插图的需求进行调查。我们以英语和非英语专业的大学生为对象进行了调查研究,以便为英语学习词典的插图配置寻找依据。     

三种艉部附体方案的粘性阻力数值计算

水面船舶艉部附体不但影响船舶的阻力,而且对螺旋桨的伴流分数以及推力减额也会产生较大影响。近年来,越来越多的研究者都重视使用数值方法进行船舶附体优化设计。在分析某排水型水面船舶艉部附体特点以及优化目标后,设计出两套艉部附体优化方案。通过数值计算方法对这3种方案的船体带附体模型在不同雷诺数条件下进行三维粘性流场的数值模拟。分析比较了它们的粘性阻力和螺旋桨桨盘面处的伴流,最后得到双尾鳍附件的最优方案。     

美军“多域战”概念探析

"多域战"概念由美陆军率先提出,是美军在联合作战概念上的又一次创新。"多域战"是美陆军力图拓展多领域作战能力、美军反制"反介入/区域拒止"威胁和打造在未来高强度对抗战争中的新优势的有力手段。"多域战"概念具有作战领域多维扩展、要素体系高度融合、指挥体制扁平灵活、军队编制精简多能和技术装备革新整合的特点。近年来,美军不断推动"多域战"的完善,为其发展提供了理论支撑、科技支撑、实践支撑和智力支撑。美军"多域战"概念的实施前景挑战与机遇并存。     

Killing Your Own: Confronting Desertion and Cowardice in the British Army During the Two World Wars

Military units can become to some extent self-governing in war-time battle. At times, they may take the discipline of their soldiers into their own hands and such discipline may be severe. This paper examines incidents in the British military, in both World Wars, where British soldiers were killed by their comrades because they would not fight in the heat of battle. The judicial execution by the military authorities of deserters in the First World War led to much controversy in Britain. It may be much less well-known that in both World Wars there was, on occasion, an extra-judicial practice within the British military of executing soldiers who would not fight in the heat of battle. In such situations ethical dilemmas become very difficult indeed and some of the relevant issues are examined here.     

Understanding China’s goals and strategy in the South China Sea: bringing context to a revisionist systemic challenge – intentions and impact

ABSTRACT

The slow moving conflict in the South China Sea has been characterized by some as “not worth the candle.” China claims the entirety of the South China Sea pursuant to a nine-dash line, the legal impact of which has been limited by international courts. At the same time, China has changed the reality of control over the South China Sea by building a number of fortified islands in the Spratly Islands and elsewhere. The US has either refused to stand up to China's behavior (Obama) or responded unevenly (Trump). This paper examines the impact of China's behaviour on local parties, US interests, and the liberal international system.     

Local contestation against the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo

ABSTRACT

This article examines local contestation against the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX), manifesting itself in local actors publicly demanding a change in the mission’s mandate and/or its operations. The article investigates how EULEX’s actions and its effectiveness are perceived and reacted upon by the local actors. It shows that local contestation is mainly fueled by (1) conflicting sovereignty claims by the majority Albanians and the minority Serbs; (2) the understanding of sovereignty by parts of society as entailing exclusive authority; and (3) dissatisfaction with the mission’s effectiveness. By addressing EULEX from a bottom-up perspective—that of the local actors—the article underlines the limitations of EU policies in post-conflict Kosovo.     

Local ownership as international governmentality: Evidence from the EU mission in the Horn of Africa

ABSTRACT

While some Foucault-inspired studies construe local ownership in international interventions as a form of liberal governmentality that aims to govern through freedom, others lambast it as an illiberal governmentality that is likely to be resisted because it undermines local autonomy. However, we still do not know what is the rationality behind local ownership, how it is being operationalized, and why a principle that aims to govern through freedom ends up curtailing it. I argue that local ownership, echoing the colonial principle of indirect rule, is driven by the rationality of advanced democracies on how best to govern global insecurities at a distance. Consequently, ownership is operationalized as responsibilization for externally designed objectives. This often gives rise to local resistance which undermines international efforts to achieve ownership. I illustrate my arguments with evidence from the EU Mission on Regional Maritime Capacity Building in the Horn of Africa (EUCAP Nestor).     

自我革新的坚实逻辑起点——解读“党的先进性是具体的历史的”

十六大报告指出 :“党的先进性是具体的、历史的” ,这是江泽民同志和党中央在深深的忧患意识支配下对我们党自身前途和命运深刻反思的结果 ,是我们党在新的历史条件下自我批判自我革新的宣言 ,为我们坚持党的先进性找到了一个坚实的逻辑起点和实践上的切入点、着力点。进步从来不是抽象的 ,工人阶级的先进性、党的先进性也从来不是抽象的 ,这不仅因为是否先进要看实践 ,更因为党的实践是具体的历史的 ,社会进步的标准是具体的、历史的、全面的和相对的

关于扩大中等收入者比重的几个问题

中等收入者与中产阶级是两个不同的概念 ,这可以通过两者的内涵和外延、外部特征及其形成的社会背景、阶级分析方法和阶层分析方法的比较等几个方面加以区别 ;应该把收入水平作为中等收入者的唯一划分标准 ;扩大中等收入者比重的关键在于提高低收入者收入水平 ,调低高收入者收入 ;扩大中等收入者比重这个新观点丰富和发展了邓小平同志的“先富、后富”理论 ,体现了社会主义的优越性 ,是共同富裕的最新表现 ,改善了我国的社会阶层结构。
