Alert me when similar studies are published With the armed forces of the People's Republic of China (PLA) celebrating its 75th anniversary on August 1, 2002, it only seemed appropriate and timely to take stock of the world's largest military. The PLA has officially been in existence for three-quarters of a century, and its history is one filled with turmoil and warfare. One weekend in the September 2002, a group of PLA specialists gathered at Carlisle Barracks, the home of the U.S. Army War College, to assess what lessons China's soldiers had drawn from the history of their own armed forces. This volume constitutes the final product of months of extensive research by the individual authors and hours of intense discussion at the 3-day conference by approximately 50 participants. The conference was sponsored jointly by the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the U.S. Army War College.

Alert me when similar studies are published At first, it might not seem surprising to have a formal military alliance that has endured more than 4 decades between two communist neighbors, China and North Korea. After all, their armed forces fought shoulder-to-shoulder in the Korean War 50 years ago. However, Beijing's ties to Pyongyang have weakened considerably over time, and China now has much better and stronger relations with the free market democracy of South Korea than it does with the totalitarian, centrally planned economy of North Korea. In many ways Pyongyang has become a Cold War relic, strategic liability, and monumental headache for Beijing. Nevertheless, the China-North Korea alliance remains formally in effect, and Beijing continues to provide vital supplies of food and fuel to the brutal and repressive Pyongyang regime. Since the ongoing nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, which emerged in October 2002, the United States and other countries have pinned high hopes on Chinese efforts to moderate and reason with North Korea. Beijing's initiative to bring Pyongyang to the table in the so-called Six-Party Talks and host them seems to substantiate these hopes. Yet, as the author points out, it would be unrealistic to raise one's expectations over what China might accomplish vis-à-vis North Korea. Beijing plays a useful and important role on the Korean Peninsula, but in the final analysis, the author argues that there are significant limitations on China's influence both in terms of what actions Beijing would be prepared to take and what impact this pressure can have. If this analysis is correct, then North Korea is unlikely to mend its ways anytime soon.

《迈向社会福利工作的欧洲范式》
Towards a European paradigm of social work
studies in the history of modes of social work and social policy in Europe
/ Walter Lorenz
Summary
The re-emergence of a majority of centre-left governments in countries of the European Union was associated with the hope that, after the neo-liberal attempts at its marginalization and de-institutionalization, social work could regain a more valued position in society. There are indeed indications that the growth of the profession continues and that social work is returning to a more explicit and official role in national social policies. However, this tends to be associated with an expectation that social work would play its part in ‘activating’ the recipients of welfare benefits in the context of the New Left project of shifting from social rights to social obligations. The practical and political effects of this new agenda are, however, modified greatly by the prevailing ‘welfare cultures’ as well as the professional and academic discourses. This paper explores the dilemmas and opportunities for the social professions in Europe associated with the ‘pull’ to become incorporated into these new social policy agendas.
