Найти книгу: "Order and Discipline in China"

China�s traditional system of dispute resolution and maintenance of order in society has been treated by Western scholars as legal history, but because the Chinese system is radically different from European systems in its conceptual structure and therefore does not fit into the familiar categories and models of Western law and jurisprudence, such treatment has been inadequate and often misleading. In Order and Discipline in China, Thomas B. Stephens provides a new approach, methodology, and theoretical framework for the interpretation of traditional Chinese �law.�Stephens argues convincingly that Chinese society has always operated according to the disciplinary system of order, ni which hierarchy is established by actual power, and he provides a thorough methodology and framework for understanding disciplinary theory. He discusses the system, showing it not the random (or even unjust) tyranny it may sometimes appear to the Western, legally oriented mind but an effective system that successfully guided China for centuries. The study is not merely historical, but provides insights into Chinese ways of thinking about social relationships, dispute resolution, and the enforcement of civil obligations that are vital to intercultural understanding today.His study is based on the activities of the Mixed Court of the International Settlement at Shanghai, which dealth with legal problems concerning Chinese people within the representative, or �assessor.� The Mixed Court conventionally has been looked upon as a disciplinary tribunal enforcing a system of dispute resolution and the maintenance of social order upon the principles of disciplinary theory.The Mixed Court is a convenient point from which to measure the legal and disciplinary systems against each other and to study them in conflict. Although Western powers tried to interpret the court in legal terms, it responds much more convincingly to analysis according to the disciplinary system: it provided its right to rule by the abililty to enforce its decisions, and it decided cases not, as claimed, by Chinese laws (which actually did not exist) but according to those principles established by the Western consuls.Order and Disipline in China will be of interest not only to legal scholars and students of Chinese history and society, but also to students of social order and international relations throughout the world. It also offers practical assistance to Westerners dealing with Chinese business relations, social and political affairs, or dispute settlement.

«„Невыразимые“ давали бал. Они взяли у артиллеристов семифунтовик, увили его лаврами, натерли пол для танцев, так что он стал гладким, как лед, приготовили такой ужин, какого никто никогда не едал, и у дверей комнаты поставили двух часовых, поручив им держать подносы с программами. Мой друг, рядовой Мельваней, был одним из этих часовых, так как он принадлежал к числу самых рослых малых в полку. В разгаре танцев часовых освободили, и Мельваней пошел помогать сержанту, который заведовал ужином…»

Спивающемуся меломану, Артёму Комарову, доставляют странную посылку, которая на деле является некоей машиной, исполняющей желания, и с помощью которой можно путешествовать во времени. Артём выясняет, что эта удивительная машина раньше принадлежала его отцу, служившему в спецотделе ГРУ. Отец Артёма при помощи некоего Аналитика, тоже когда-то работавшего в разведке, а ныне почти столетнего старика, собирает составные части этой машины со всего мира. Помогло ли волшебное устройство Аналитику обрести молодость, отцу Артёма найти смысл жизни, а самому Артёму стать счастливым? Или машина только лишь разрушила их мечты? А, может быть, дело не в машине, и человек сам творец своей жизни? Ответы на эти вопросы вы найдёте, прочитав эту книгу.

The book is a collection of papers presented at the conference «Russia and Norway: Physical and Symbolic Borders» held in St Petersburg in April 2005 in connection with the opening of the exhibition «Norway – Russia. Neighbours through the ages». In the book different aspects of the history of the Norwegian-Russian border are covered by historians from Moscow, St Petersburg, Arkhangelsk, Copenhagen, Cambridge, Bergen and Tromso. The papers are diverse and refer to different chronological periods. One group of articles deals with problems connected with the medieval border treaties between Norway and Novgorodian Russia, others with the diplomatic history of the border convention of 1826, as well as its effect on ethnic minorities living in the border area. One author addresses the present-day delimitation controversy between Norway and Russia in the Barents Sea. Other articles deal with symbolic borders, for example, barriers in translating Russian literature into Norwegian, and borders between the two cultures, experienced by the Russian emigrants in Norway after the Russian Revolution. And finally, there are articles without explicit references to the concept of borders, where the authors investigate in more general terms different aspects of Norwegian-Russian relations.
