NEGOTIATING NONPROLIFERATION: Scholarship,Pedagogy, and Nuclear Weapons Policy

In nuclear nonproliferation negotiations, many governments pursue multiple objectives, and changes in policy can occur rapidly—and often unexpectedly. For these reasons, understanding nonproliferation requires empathy and imagination rather than just historical fact. This article considers one teaching tool to encourage such insight—simulations—and demonstrates how teaching and scholarship can interact to improve our understanding of the complex decisions and negotiations involved in nuclear nonproliferation. The article consists of five parts: first, it explains the benefits of simulations as both a policy development tool in Washington and as a teaching tool in universities; second, it describes the pedagogical strategy of the Stanford University simulation program; third, it shows how the simulations have identified and highlighted theoretical and substantive insights that are often neglected in scholarly studies of nonproliferation; and fourth, it describes how students are tested to enhance the learning experience from the simulation. Fifth and finally, the article provides concluding observations about how using simulations in the classroom can help scholars develop insights that improve their understanding of real-world nuclear negotiation dynamics and outcomes.     

ARMED NON-STATE ACTORS IN AFRICA AND THE BAN ON ANTI-PERSONNEL LANDMINES

A truly universal ban on anti-personnel mines cannot be realized without engagement of armed non-state actors and armed groups operating outside state control, including rebels and national liberation movements. Events after 9/11 have complicated engagement with organizations that can be classified as ‘terrorists’. Yet, the use of anti-personnel landmines itself can be viewed as an act of terrorism and African leaders have, on various occasions, classified the use of landmines and the presence of unexploded ordnance as engendering insecurity and a serious impediment to development. The success of a total ban ultimately depends upon ensuring that armed non-state actors act in accordance with international humanitarian law. The Geneva Call Deed of Commitment for Adherence to a Total Ban on Anti-Personnel Mines and for Cooperation in Mine Action (DoC) might be described as an alternative instrument to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention and can serve an important and impartial channel of communication with non-state actors. Already 18 armed groups in Africa have signed the Geneva Call DoC.

基于结构加权的海面编队预定目标选择方法

海面目标运动和编队阵型的约束特性,使得通过对装订阵型和末制导探测阵型进行点集匹配来选择预定目标成为一种有效途径。但当编队目标释放干扰时,会引起阵型结构发生局部变化,导致目标选择性能恶化。本文基于反舰导弹目标选择需求,分析了传感器导航和探测误差、装订信息误差、编队目标运动和释放干扰等因素所引起的位置点集变形,通过利用阵型中未污染的结构信息,提出了基于几何散列法和结构加权平均Hausdorff距离的编队预定目标选择方法。理论分析和实验结果表明,该方法不受传感器导航误差和编队目标整体运动的影响,在编队存在冲淡干扰时能有效提高目标选择能力。     

教育：传承着诸神的事业——康德《教育学导论》发微

康德是一个理想主义者,他深受古典,尤其柏拉图思想的影响。与后者一样,他并不认为美好的理想就是脱离实际的空中楼阁。它只是一种经验里尚未存在的完善性理念。康德肯定了完美共和国实现的可能,但他并未将这一工作交由命运,而是肯定了人的能力,他用历史的进步作为抵达这一理念的通路。康德也把“统治艺术”与“教育艺术”作为人类最艰难的两项发明。“美德是否可教”的问题贯穿于苏格拉底与普罗塔戈拉的对话之中,《普罗塔戈拉》没有给出答案,康德则延续了对该问题的思考。     

跨文化教育与文化适应

跨文化教育在多民族、多文化并存的环境中突显出一定的优势和吸引力,从文化适应的角度来说,其基本理念和目标能够令受教育者获得不同文化的体验,从而获得对异质文化的理解,达到增加不同文化之间容忍度的目的,而这一目的实现的关键除了跨文化教育的设计和实施之外,还在于学校教育能否转化为社会效应。     

刍议抛锚式教学策略在教育学课程教学中的应用

抛锚式教学把学生设于真实的情境中,让学生达到认知冲突,让学生自己去分析问题、学习解决该问题所需的知识,逐步地解决问题。作为教师职前教育的一门重要的基础课程教育学,其教学效果一直不尽如人意。而抛锚式教学法为教育学的教学模式改啦提供了一种新的思路。     

兵团音乐的创作机制、题材类型与思想教育功能

"兵团音乐"这一语辞包含区域、主题、风格、功能、情感等多重属性。本论文尝试从兵团音乐的特质、兵团音乐创作机制的类型、兵团音乐创作主题的类型三方面来阐释兵团音乐的思想教育功能。     

谈家庭教育与对孩子期望度的有机结合

家庭教育要根据孩子的条件和特长进行,要把握好家庭教育的“度”,不能生造出孩子的众多的“指令性需要”、“指令性兴趣”,对孩子的期望也要把握好“度”。     

终身体育的形成与人的可持续发展

现代终身教育内容包涵终身体育教育,终身体育是现代终身教育的重要组成部分,是社会高露发展的要求,是现代生活方式的迫切需要。人的可持续发股是人的个性连续不断地发展和完善,其终极国标是人的自由与全面发展。本文从终身教育和终身体育的观点挂;发,分析丁终身体育观的形成在人的可持续发展中的锋用,论述了终身体育将髓云为改善人的生活方式、提高人的健康水平和生活质量及促进经济发展的重要途径和手段。
