The development of new digital technologies was predicted to be a boon for environmental activism. Internet and social media platforms were expected to facilitate broad bottom-up change, enabling activists worldwide to communicate and organize more effectively. However, the emergence of digital technologies may not have revolutionized the methods and impacts of activist organizations, especially for the environmental movement, wherein meaningful change has not yet been realized regarding climate change and nature preservation. Given the many challenges activists face, it is essential to understand how collective action can be undertaken with digital media to produce positive consequences for nature and human relations. Moreover, the neoliberal economic context from which digital technologies emerged and grew further accelerates environmental destruction through overproduction and overconsumption. This paper examines the relationship between environmental activism and digital technologies. While the environmental movement may have benefitted from newer organizational and communication tools on the international stage, the neoliberal economic framework in which digital technologies operate fundamentally contradicts the goals of the environmental movement.
新数字技术的发展被预测为环保活动的福音。互联网和社会媒体平台有望促进广泛的自下而上的变革,使世界各地的活动人士能够更有效地沟通和组织。然而,数字技术的出现可能并没有彻底改变激进组织的方法和影响,特别是对于环境运动来说,在气候变化和自然保护方面尚未实现有意义的变化。鉴于活动人士面临的诸多挑战,有必要了解如何利用数字媒体采取集体行动,为自然和人类关系产生积极影响。此外,数字技术产生和发展的新自由主义经济背景进一步加速了生产过剩和过度消费对环境的破坏。本文探讨了环境行动主义与数字技术之间的关系。虽然环境运动可能受益于国际舞台上更新的组织和沟通工具,但数字技术运作的新自由主义经济框架从根本上与环境运动的目标相矛盾。

Political Discourse in the Maghreb: An Analysis of Amazigh Identity in Algeria and Morocco 马格里布的政治话语:阿尔及利亚和摩洛哥的阿马齐格认同分析

The Imazighen (plural of Amazigh) are an indigenous group primarily located in Northern and Western Africa. While Amazigh communities are present across the Maghreb, the role of Amazigh identity in Morocco and Algeria is of particular interest given each country's distinct treatment of ethnic and linguistic minorities. In Algeria, Amazigh identity is not as overtly politicized as in Morocco, wherein Amazigh communities are often at the forefront of public discourses and are often scapegoated as a source of political instability. Compared to Morocco, Algerian Imazighen generally experience higher acceptance levels due to numerous social, political, historical, and geographic factors that underpin the treatment and perceptions of Amazighté in Morocco and Algeria today. This article analyzes Algeria and Morocco's respective independence movements, political systems, language laws, and geographic topography to link the contemporary role of Amazigh identity to each national setting's unique history, politics, and geography. 
Imazighen (Amazigh的复数)是一个主要分布在北非和西非的土著群体。虽然阿马齐格社区遍布马格里布,但鉴于摩洛哥和阿尔及利亚对少数民族和语言少数群体的独特待遇,阿马齐格身份在摩洛哥和阿尔及利亚的作用特别令人感兴趣。在阿尔及利亚,阿马齐格人的身份认同不像在摩洛哥那样明显政治化,在摩洛哥,阿马齐格人社区经常处于公共话语的前沿,也经常被当作政治不稳定的来源。与摩洛哥相比,由于许多社会、政治、历史和地理因素,阿尔及利亚的Imazighen普遍获得更高的接受度,这些因素支撑了摩洛哥和阿尔及利亚今天对amazight的对待和看法。本文分析了阿尔及利亚和摩洛哥各自的独立运动、政治制度、语言法律和地理地形,将阿马齐格身份的当代角色与每个国家独特的历史、政治和地理环境联系起来。

Lebanon and Iraq: Two Distinct Demonstrations of Confessionalism’s Failure as a Means to Manage Ethnic and Religious Pluralism 黎巴嫩和伊拉克:作为管理种族和宗教多元主义的手段,忏悔主义失败的两个不同例证

The Iraqi and Lebanese political systems stemmed from each country’s distinctive mosaic of sub-national identities but have been deemed corrupt and incompetent, prompting ongoing protests and calls for unity in both contexts. However, this dissatisfaction is unsurprising given the challenging task of translating the ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity that characterizes each population into an overarching national identity. The Lebanese and Iraqi political systems have attempted to manage ethnic and religious pluralism through confessionalism, or a “consociational government which distributes political and institutional power proportionally among religious sub-communities.” This paper argues that Lebanon and Iraq are two specific examples of confessionalism, demonstrating its failure to manage ethnic and religious pluralism, which seems to inevitably beget sectarianism—a discriminatory structure in which each group advances its privileges at the expense of others. Nevertheless, confessional systems are challenging to transform, namely because they institutionalize different ethnic or religious groups’ identities instead of promoting a unified, national identity. 
伊拉克和黎巴嫩的政治制度源于各自国家独特的地方身份,但被认为是腐败和无能的,这在两国的背景下引发了持续的抗议和团结的呼吁。然而,考虑到将每个人口的种族、语言和宗教多样性特征转化为总体民族认同的艰巨任务,这种不满并不令人惊讶。黎巴嫩和伊拉克的政治体制试图通过忏悔主义来管理种族和宗教多元化,或者一个“在宗教亚社区中按比例分配政治和制度权力的联合政府”。本文认为,黎巴嫩和伊拉克是忏悔主义的两个具体例子,表明其在处理种族和宗教多元化方面的失败,这似乎不可避免地会产生宗派主义——一种歧视结构,在这种结构中,每个群体都以牺牲其他群体为代价来推进自己的特权。然而,忏悔制度的转变具有挑战性,因为它们使不同种族或宗教群体的身份制度化,而不是促进统一的国家身份。

"The only thing one can do in America is emigrate”: South American Responses to the Venezuelan Migration Crisis “在美国唯一能做的就是移民”:南美对委内瑞拉移民危机的回应
Pub Date : 2020-07-29 DOI: 10.26443/firr.v10i1.30

Since 2015, approximately 4.8 million Venezuelans have fled from their homes in search of refuge from the country’s economic crisis and increasingly volatile political climate. As in other instances of mass displacement, they have not moved far, as nearly 80% of Venezuelan migrants have remained in continental South America. This essay analyzes how states and citizens have responded to the sudden influx of Venezuelan refugees from 2015 to the present. First, it shall offer a brief overview of the history of immigration policy in Latin America from the twentieth century to the early 2000s, exploring both regional and international initiatives. It then analyzes the novel, early responses of South American governments to Venezuelan refugees, finding, that, while regional and national policies were often devised with the intent of accommodation, in practice, these measures suffer from uneven implementation. Next, the paper interrogates the rightward shift in migration policy and discourse in recent years. While the extent and scope of policy change remain to be seen, the discursive and political turn towards restrictionism represents an alarming turn towards securitized immigration policy in the context of a conflict that shows no signs of stopping. Ultimately, this essay finds that the South American response to this crisis has been limited in its ability to provide accessible solutions, cooperate on a regional level, and maintain the same policies over time. Thus, it presents a challenge not only to individual states, but to the region’s ability to coordinate meaningful solutions. 
自2015年以来,约480万委内瑞拉人逃离家园,寻求庇护,以躲避该国的经济危机和日益动荡的政治气候。与其他大规模流离失所的情况一样,他们并没有走远,因为近80%的委内瑞拉移民仍留在南美洲大陆。本文分析了从2015年到现在,国家和公民如何应对委内瑞拉难民的突然涌入。首先,它将简要概述从20世纪到21世纪初拉丁美洲的移民政策历史,探索区域和国际倡议。然后,它分析了南美洲政府对委内瑞拉难民的新颖的早期反应,发现虽然区域和国家政策的设计往往是为了容纳,但在实践中,这些措施的实施并不均衡。其次,本文对近年来移民政策和话语的右倾进行了探讨。虽然政策变化的程度和范围仍有待观察,但在没有停止迹象的冲突背景下,对限制主义的话语和政治转向代表了对证券化移民政策的令人震惊的转向。最后,本文发现,南美应对这场危机的能力有限,无法提供可获得的解决方案,无法在区域层面进行合作,也无法长期保持相同的政策。因此,它不仅对个别国家提出了挑战,而且对该地区协调有意义的解决方案的能力提出了挑战。

Russia’s Legitimizing Narrative for Annexation: Impetus or Pretext? 俄罗斯吞并的合法化叙事:动力还是借口?
Pub Date : 2020-07-29 DOI: 10.26443/firr.v10i1.24
Presian Dragiev
Following the Russian Federation’s annexation of Crimea in March 2014, the Kremlin constructed a legitimizing narrative to justify its inflammatory foreign policy decision. This narrative in turn builds an argument for the legality of the annexation, as well as one for its morality. These arguments were presented as the driving forces for its decision to occupy and annex the peninsula and then diffused by Russia’s political class in addition to their security-related justifications. But a closer examination of these arguments and how they relate to realities on the ground suggests they are closer to being pretexts for the annexation than being its driving forces. This narrative offers a glimpse into how the Kremlin uses notions of identity, historical links, and international norms championed by the west to legitimize its foreign policies on the international scene.
在俄罗斯联邦2014年3月吞并克里米亚之后,克里姆林宫为其煽动性的外交政策决定构建了一个合法化的叙事。这种叙述反过来又为吞并的合法性和道德性建立了一个论据。这些论点被认为是俄罗斯决定占领和吞并克里米亚半岛的驱动力,然后被俄罗斯的政治阶层传播开来,除了与安全有关的理由之外。但仔细研究这些论点,以及它们与实际情况的关系,就会发现它们更像是俄罗斯吞并俄罗斯的借口,而不是推动俄罗斯吞并俄罗斯的力量。这种叙述让我们得以一窥克里姆林宫如何利用西方倡导的身份、历史联系和国际规范等概念,使其在国际舞台上的外交政策合法化。

The Arab League has No Bark and No Bite 阿拉伯联盟既不吠也不咬
Pub Date : 2020-07-29 DOI: 10.26443/firr.v10i1.28
E. Hedstrom
Abstract Along with a moment of peace in the middle of the 20th century came large changes in the world order; namely the rise of newly independent nations and the formation of supranational organisations. The Middle East was the first region to establish an intergovernmental security network after 1945 when the Arab League was created. While the institution has had several opportunities to prove itself capable of uniting and pacifying a region often described to be “without regionalism,” it has rather served as a tool in the toolbox of Arab nationalist leaders like Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser to solidify their political legitimacy and maintain a strict policy of non-interference. The League’s failure to provide a place for mediation and resolution of regional conflicts further undermines its effectiveness. The Arab Spring that swept across the region beginning in 2009 brought optimistic projections for the League’s capacity to deal with the conflict, particularly following the League’s suspension of Syria following brutal repression of demonstrations in 2010. Is the failure of the League a product poor design at its offset or could it provide a hopeful forecast for increased regional cooperation and peacebuilding in the Middle East? Without bark and without bite, the latter will be difficult to achieve.
伴随着20世纪中叶的和平时刻,世界秩序发生了巨大变化;即新独立国家的崛起和超国家组织的形成。中东是1945年阿拉伯联盟成立后第一个建立政府间安全网络的地区。虽然该机构有几次机会证明自己有能力团结和安抚一个经常被描述为“没有地区主义”的地区,但它更像是埃及的贾迈勒·阿卜杜勒·纳赛尔(Gamal Abdel Nasser)等阿拉伯民族主义领导人工具箱中的工具,以巩固他们的政治合法性,并维持严格的不干涉政策。国联未能为调解和解决区域冲突提供场所,进一步损害了其效力。始于2009年的阿拉伯之春席卷了整个地区,人们对阿盟处理冲突的能力提出了乐观的预测,尤其是在2010年阿盟在残酷镇压示威活动后暂停与叙利亚的合作之后。阿盟的失败是一种设计不良的产品,还是它可以为加强中东区域合作和建设和平提供一个充满希望的预测?不吠而不咬,后者将难以实现。

Defending Human Rights Through Social Action: The Role of the Catholic Church in Latin America in the 1960s–1980s 通过社会行动捍卫人权:天主教会在1960 - 1980年代在拉丁美洲的作用
Pub Date : 2020-07-29 DOI: 10.26443/firr.v10i1.25

Since the earliest days of colonization, religion – in particular, the Roman Catholic Church – has been a driving force in the Latin American politics, economics, and society. As the region underwent frequent political instability and high levels of violence, the Church remained a steady, powerful force in society. This paper will explore the relationship between the Catholic Church and the struggle to defend human rights during the particularly oppressive era of bureaucratic-authoritarianism in Latin America throughout the 1960s–1980s. This paper seeks to demonstrate that the Church undertook the struggle to protect human rights because its modernized social mission sought to support the oppressed suffering from the political, economic, and social status quo. In challenging the legitimacy of the ruling national security ideology and illuminating the moral dimensions of violence, the Catholic Church became a crucial constructive agent in spurring social change, mitigating the effects of violence, and setting a democratic framework for the future.
自殖民初期以来,宗教——尤其是罗马天主教会——一直是拉丁美洲政治、经济和社会的推动力。虽然该地区经常经历政治不稳定和高度暴力,但教会仍然是社会中稳定而强大的力量。本文将探讨天主教会与在整个1960年代至1980年代拉丁美洲官僚专制主义特别压迫时期捍卫人权的斗争之间的关系。本文试图证明,教会承担了保护人权的斗争,因为其现代化的社会使命寻求支持受政治,经济和社会现状压迫的人。在挑战统治国家安全意识形态的合法性和阐明暴力的道德层面时,天主教会成为推动社会变革、减轻暴力影响和为未来建立民主框架的关键建设性力量。

The International Role in the Response to the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa Following Violent Conflicts 暴力冲突后在撒哈拉以南非洲应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病方面的国际作用
Pub Date : 2020-07-29 DOI: 10.26443/firr.v10i1.26

HIV/AIDS has been a global health issue for decades, one which has often been accelerated by genocide and civil war. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the international community in dealing with the growth of the HIV/AIDS crisis following a period of violence, by focusing on three different case studies: Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Rwanda. It concludes that the most effective and successful help from the international community against HIV/AIDS is comprised of financial, technical, and structural aid to counter the crisis, and includes collaboration with local governments. However, the international community faces shortcomings if the help it provides is only financial.
几十年来,艾滋病毒/艾滋病一直是一个全球性的健康问题,种族灭绝和内战往往加剧了这一问题。本文通过关注乌干达、塞拉利昂和卢旺达这三个不同的案例研究,分析了国际社会在应对暴力时期后日益严重的艾滋病毒/艾滋病危机方面的有效性。报告的结论是,国际社会对艾滋病毒/艾滋病最有效和成功的帮助是由金融、技术和结构性援助组成的,以应对危机,并包括与地方政府的合作。然而,如果国际社会提供的帮助仅仅是财政上的,那么它将面临不足。

Sport Diplomacy: Sport’s Impact as a Form of Soft Power on Peacebuilding and Nation-Building in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 体育外交:体育作为一种软实力形式对巴以冲突中和平建设和国家建设的影响
Pub Date : 2020-07-29 DOI: 10.26443/firr.v10i1.29
Ender McDuff
Since the founding of the first Israeli and Palestinian soccer clubs in 1906 and 1908, respectively, sport has played an intimate role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Whether as a training ground for counter-insurgency operations or an extension of the nation’s foreign policy apparatus, sport has been utilized by both parties as a tool for peacebuilding and nation-building. The purpose of this article is to examine whether sport, through what is termed sport diplomacy, can help establish the conditions necessary for successful peace negotiations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. To this effect, the paper adopts the analytical lens of sport as a form of soft power. Following this framework, the paper considers how sport diplomacy operates as a tool for image-building, constructing a platform for dialogue, trust building, and as a catalyst for reconciliation in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The article concludes that sport can indeed help establish the conditions needed for successful peace negotiations; however, sport should not yet be employed as a path to reconciliation until such time as a political peace is firmly established.
自从以色列和巴勒斯坦分别于1906年和1908年成立了第一支足球俱乐部以来,体育在巴以冲突中发挥了密切的作用。无论是作为反叛乱行动的训练场,还是作为国家外交政策机构的延伸,双方都将体育作为建设和平和国家建设的工具。本文的目的是研究体育,通过所谓的体育外交,是否可以帮助建立成功的巴以冲突和平谈判所必需的条件。为此,本文采用体育作为一种软实力形式的分析视角。在此框架下,本文考虑了体育外交如何作为形象塑造的工具,构建对话平台,建立信任,以及在以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突背景下作为和解的催化剂。文章的结论是,体育确实可以帮助建立成功的和平谈判所需的条件;然而,在政治和平牢固建立之前,体育还不应被用作实现和解的途径。

Monetary Overextension: Why the Chinese Yuan will not become the next Global Currency 货币过度扩张:为什么人民币不会成为下一个全球货币

In the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the People’s Republic of China has experienced massive growth to become the world’s second largest economy. Along with this rise, China has taken steps to expand its economic power and influence overseas. One of the ways it has pursued this is to promote the Chinese Renminbi as an alternative to the US Dollar, which has served as the international currency since the end of the Second World War. By analyzing the features of the Chinese economy through various paradigms, this paper will argue that, despite the best efforts of the Chinese government, the RMB will be unlikely to displace the USD as the premier currency in the near future.
在二十一世纪的头二十年里,中华人民共和国经历了巨大的增长,成为世界第二大经济体。随着这种崛起,中国已采取措施扩大其经济实力和海外影响力。中国追求这一目标的方式之一,是推动人民币成为美元的替代品。自第二次世界大战结束以来,美元一直是国际货币。通过各种范式分析中国经济的特点,本文将认为,尽管中国政府尽了最大努力,人民币在不久的将来不太可能取代美元成为第一货币。
