Momentous modifications of existing race-relations were evidently impending, and nothing could be more vital to the course of human evolution than the character of these modifications, since upon the quality of human life all else depends. Acoordingly, my attention was thenceforth largely directed to racial matters.

  • The Birth of Chinese Feminism Columbia & Ko, Eds
    & liu e-yin zHen (1886–1920?) was a theo- ko Hrist who figured centrally in the birth , karl of Chinese feminism. Unlike her contem- , poraries, she was concerned less with China’s eds fate as a nation and more with the relation- . , ship among patriarchy, imperialism, capi- talism, and gender subjugation as global historical problems. This volume, the first translation and study of He-Yin’s work in English, critically reconstructs early twenti- eth-century Chinese feminist thought in a transnational context by juxtaposing He-Yin The Bir Zhen’s writing against works by two better- known male interlocutors of her time. The editors begin with a detailed analysis of He-Yin Zhen’s life and thought. They then present annotated translations of six of her major essays, as well as two foundational “The Birth of Chinese Feminism not only sheds light T on the unique vision of a remarkable turn-of- tracts by her male contemporaries, Jin h of Chinese the century radical thinker but also, in so Tianhe (1874–1947) and Liang Qichao doing, provides a fresh lens through which to (1873–1929), to which He-Yin’s work examine one of the most fascinating and com- responds and with which it engages.

  • The Orient and World Peace. from an Oriental Point of View
    THE ORIENT AND WORED PEACE. FROM AN ORIENTAL POINT OF VIEW. BY BASANTA KOOMAR ROY. THE stnig^g-le for supremacy between the Orient and Occident has been perennial. Epoch after epoch, century after century. the story of Asian and European conquest and counter-conquest has fillcfl the pages of history. Tt has been written in human blood. The Huns and the Moors, the Mongols and Ottoman Turks fell on Europe, slaughtered, conquered and subjugated the 'Europeans. On the other hand the Greeks and the Romans, the Portuguese, Dutch. Slavs. French and Britons swept over Asia, slaughtered, conquered and subjugated the Asians. Yesterday Asia stood on the heart of Europe ; to-day Europe stands on the heart of Asia ; and the problem of future relationship between the East and the West. two halves of (ine wlmlc. is the problem of world peace. Conse- (|uently. it is of vital importance to the progress of the human race, and it is f|uite in season to see what the eastern half thinks about it. It is claimed in certain quarters that the table of history has turned again. W'itli the Japanese victory over Russia, it is believed, there has dawntd a new era that will make it possible for history to repeat itself. I'.ul whether the awakened democracy of Asia will allow the (uUrage nf coiKiuest for individual or natii^nal aggrandize- ment remains to be seen. Nevertheless, it cannot be gainsaid that the feeling of resent- ment in the < )rient against the Occident is increasing. We cannot ignore it.

Phoebe Chow 3 Abstract Public opinion in Britain influenced the government’s policy of retreat in response to Chinese nationalism in the 1920s. The foreigners’ rights to live, preach, work and trade in China extracted by the ‘unequal treaties’ in the nineteenth century were challenged by an increasingly powerful nationalist movement, led by the Kuomintang, which was bolstered by Soviet support. The Chinese began a major attack on British interests in June 1925 in South China and continued the attack as the Kuomintang marched upward to the Yangtze River, where much of British trade was centred.

  • Acta Slavica Iaponica No 25
    Acta Slavica Iaponica, Tomus 25, pp. 1-28 Articles Dilemmas of Europeanization: Eastern and Central Europe after the EU Enlargement* Grzegorz Ekiert The EU enlargement, completed in 2004, has been hailed as one of the most significant EU accomplishments. It has also been called the most effec- tive democracy promotion mechanism ever developed and applied. There is a lot of truth in such claims. The eight Central and East European countries that joined the EU have been the most successful examples of democratic con- solidation and transition to a market economy in the entire postcommunist region. This paper examines the impact of the EU accession process on demo- cratic consolidation and the consequences of EU membership on the quality of new democratic regimes in these countries. In the first part of the paper, I will review empirical evidence showing the diverging trajectories of post- communist transformations and the deepening split between two parts of the former Soviet bloc. In the second part, I will sketch five dilemmas faced by the new, postcommunist members of the EU. These dilemmas reveal the tension between the requirements of EU membership and continuation of postcommu- nist transformations aimed at improving the quality of democracy and secur- ing faster economic growth. THE EU ACCESSION AND DEMOCRATIC CONSOLIDATION: COMPLEMENTARITY OR CONFLICTING LOGICS? Since its inception, the European integration process has aimed at strength- ening liberal democracy across Europe. Participation in emerging European institutions has been reserved for states with secure democratic systems and a consistent record of respect for political and civil rights. While this principle remained implicit in early EC documents, the presence of a strong democratic system in the candidate country soon became an explicit sine qua non condition for EC/EU accession.
