论NCLB法案以来美国教育行政管理体制的改革趋势

随着对教育公平和教育质量的诉求不断深入,美国传统的基础教育管理体制近年来也不断重构,以适应教育改革的需要。如今,联邦已通过推进问责和评价机制以及增加教育拨款,主导了教育改革的方向与进程;各州通过建立和推行州内的问责体制、学术标准和评价体系,其教育决策权和管理权得到了极大扩张;学校获得了更多的灵活性和自主权来优化课程与教学;而学区却向辅助性、支援性的角色蜕变。由NCLB法案确立并广泛施行的问责和评价机制,是导致上述体制变革的直接原因。     

元上都扈从诗中的边塞诗风

大多数身为翰林大臣的扈从诗人随扈皇上往来于大都与上都之间的经历,丰富了他们的人生视野和创作素材。恢弘的草原景象、变化无常的气候、诗人的怀乡情怀、粗犷的边塞生活、豪迈的民族精神、深沉的历史积淀等,培养了诗人豪迈、乐观的主体情感。这使他们能够敏感地把握住具有鲜明边塞特点的诗歌意象,创作出一系列具有鲜明边塞况味的诗歌作品,形成了浓郁的边塞诗风。这是盛唐以来边塞诗风的赓续,也是元代民族与时代精神特点的写照。     

关于土壤污染防治的立法思考

我国土壤污染问题存在已久,并且持续恶化,已经引发了一系列社会、经济问题。目前我国土壤污染形势非常严峻,这与现有相关法律法规政策没有发挥应有的作用是密不可分的,现行规定具有指导性较弱、执法主体混乱以及强制力不高的缺陷。鉴于这一系列问题,制定《土壤污染防治法》有重要的生态意义、战略意义和经济意义。在详细分析之后,笔者认为正在制定中的《土壤污染防治法》应当为法律的形式,并且应该包含预防为主、政府主导与公众参与、完善监测制度、罚金原则等。     

美国贸易保护主义的新特点:汇率问题贸易化——以美国2011《货币汇率监督改革法案》为视角

美国参议院2011年10月通过《货币汇率监督改革法案》(以下称"S.1619法案"),法案的最大特点是将汇率问题贸易化,试图通过修改国内立法采取反补贴的贸易措施对中国输美产品征税。法案规定的根本性低估货币行为是否构成《SCM协定》中的出口补贴,是中美争论的核心所在。根据WTO的相关规定和案例,美国将汇率问题贸易化的做法,与WTO倡导的公平贸易原则背道而驰,不但达不到平衡中美贸易的目的,反而可能引致国际贸易争端,构成新的贸易壁垒。文章对此分析,并提出我国应对策略。

Bring on the Shock Troops: Artists and Gentrification in the Popular Press

Gentrification is one of the most important and talked about contemporary urban issues. Critics have tended to treat the class remake of urban neighborhoods as a geographical and sociological phenomenon. This article critically examines gentrification as symbolic action. Focusing on press coverage of artist-led gentrification, I argue that reporters present a diffusion narrative that casts artists as both urban pioneers and victims of gentrification and glosses over the function of artists as the first gentrifiers in some urban neighborhoods. Ultimately, press accounts of artists as victims of gentrification reflect an underlying desire to find and maintain bohemian spaces in the face of homogeneous and sterile corporate urban revitalization projects that have contributed to a broader sense of urban placelessness. Yet, this vision is based on a bohemian image of the city that consists of young white artists while stigmatizing (through a frontier discourse) the more diverse population(s) that lived and worked in the urban neighborhood prior to the arrival of the artists.     

Understanding Copyright Law for Slavic,East European,and Eurasian Materials

ABSTRACT

In the last decade the issue of copyright has become more complex for Slavic and East European librarians for a number of reasons. Technological advances have led to new forms of publication and new options for document distribution, and have also had a major impact on intellectual property law in the U.S. and abroad. As the technical means for copying and distributing materials in various formats have increased, and as electronic resources comprise a steadily increasing proportion of the material used in libraries, copyright law has become more integral to the work of librarians. In the background of technological progress, the newly independent states which emerged after the dissolution of Communism have all adopted new copyright laws within the context of global developments in intellectual property legislation. This paper provides a context for copyright as it relates to the work of Slavic and East European librarians in the U.S., by offering a framework for understanding the main issues surrounding copyright and a method for approaching questions related to copyright protection of library materials. The emphasis of this article is on use by U.S. libraries of textual material created or published in Slavic and East European countries.
