Historical processes of state formation and nation building are crucial for an understanding of the geography of religions
and churches in Europe. Each country has developed its own model of state-church relations, giving rise to a ‘bewildering
variety’ as Grace Davie aptly remarks. The aim of this paper is to bring some order to this variety by developing a framework
for the comparative study of church-state relations based on Stein Rokkan’s famous conceptual map and recent extensions of
it to Central and Eastern Europe by John Madeley. According to that framework Europe has been divided into three mono-confessional
(Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox) blocs and two multi-confessional culture belts from Northwest to Southeast,
and from Northeast to Southeast. This historical pattern has been challenged by secularisation, which started with the Enlightenment
and the French Revolution (Western Europe) and the Russian Revolution (Eastern Europe until the velvet revolutions of 1989/1991)
and then became widespread after the ‘cultural revolutions’ of the 1960s. A second challenge has to do with globalisation
and its consequences, such as massive immigration and the rise of immigrant religions, and in general deterritorialisation,
which means the disembeddedness of religion from its national territory. A third challenge concerns reterritorialisation at
other (supranational, regional, transnational, and local) scales, of which the new territorial order of the European Union
seems to be the most important. Finally, this paper serves as an introduction to the case studies on church-state relations
in this special issue. 相似文献

This paper first traces the major changes in the relationship between the (Orthodox) Church and State in the different Russian
polities, using Madeley’s framework of historic mono-confessional blocs and multi-confessional belts. Second, it outlines
the recent tendencies and characteristic features of church–state relations in today’s Russia. Third, using data from sociological
surveys, it analyses the current dominant popular perceptions and societal attitudes towards religion and the State, including
religious freedom. Being part of the historic mono-confessional Orthodox bloc, the different Russian polities produced different
models of church–state relations: from a symphony of religious and political powers, through a forced nationalization of the
Orthodox Church (Russian Empire from the époque of Peter the Great until revolution of 1917), and forced secularisation (during
the Soviet Union), to a return of mutual support of (Orthodox) Church and State despite a formal (constitutional) separation
in Putin’s Russia. 相似文献

According to Madeley’s (2003) comparative framework of state–church relations in Europe, Poland is part of the historic Northeast-Southeast multi-confessional
culture belt. The aim of this paper is to analyse the historic relationships between the Polish state and church in relation
to this framework with special attention to the post-Second World War period and to the consequences for the Polish religious
landscape. In contrast to the multi-confessionality of the historic Polish polities, after the Second World War Poland became
a mono-confessional, Roman-Catholic country. Territorial changes, the resettlement of people and the annihilation of the Jewish
population by the Nazis were responsible for this religious homogenisation. Consequently, the relationship between state and
church was almost completely confined to the relationship with the Roman-Catholic Church. During the 45 years of communist
dominance, that church became the largest public organisation independent of the state authorities and played the most important
role in the struggle against the ‘atheisation’ of Polish society as a consequence of the strong support for the church by
the majority of people. The post–1989 period is characterised by a liberalisation towards non-Catholic religious communities
and – after an initial reluctance – a positive attitude of the Polish Roman-Catholic Church (strongly supported by the Polish
Pope John Paul II) towards the Polish membership of the European Union.

Stress disorders and other mental ill health may be brought on by the disruption caused by resettlement. We examine female
newcomers’ experiences of adjusting to a new place, metropolitan Toronto, Canada and a new health care system. We consider
sources of mental stress experienced during adjustment. We frame this adjustment as a process that happens over place and through time. Thematic findings of interviews (n = 35) with female newcomers from five cultural-linguistic groups are reported. Sources of stress in adjusting to life in
Toronto include: navigating a new place, personal safety concerns, adapting to a new lifestyle, and finding employment. Sources
of stress in adjusting to a new health care system include: learning how to access care, not having access to specialists,
and adapting to a new culture of care. We conclude by considering the implications of what newcomers report for the delivery
of primary mental health care (i.e. ‘first contact’ care). 相似文献

War on Terror,work in progress: security,surveillance and the configuration of the US workfare state
This paper evaluates the impact of recent shifts in the geopolitical outlook of the United States—specifically the ‘Global
War on Terror’ and its domestic ramifications—on the prior project of reconfiguring the US state to an after-Fordist ‘workfare’
paradigm. In particular, the paper attempts to situate recent developments in the reconfiguration of the American welfare
state within the context of debates over the ‘exceptional’ nature of US politics post-9/11. The extent to which this has had
a bearing on work practices, welfare provision and workfarism is investigated, citing examples from the post-9/11 era. On
the basis of such examples it has been suggested that the project of reconfiguring the US welfare state and labour relations
does overlap and intersect with the emergency practices that the US state has instituted domestically as part of the War on
Terror. However, the reconfiguration of the US welfare state towards a neoliberal or workfarist paradigm is, we argue, largely
part of the ‘normal’ (as opposed to exceptional) fabric of US politics. The project of reconfiguring the US welfare state
is ongoing and largely autonomous (although not entirely removed) from the use of exceptional practices in relation to the
US security state. Investigation of this relationship, we assert, provides a potentially fruitful ‘new direction’ for both
critical geopolitics and political economic geography, and grounds for interaction between the two. 相似文献

This case study considers the early development and recent changes that have occurred in the vicinity of Joo Chiat Road, Singapore,
which can be described as a ‘linear activity corridor’ linking the districts of Geylang, Katong and Marine Parade, immediately
east of Singapore’s urban core. Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has declared Joo Chiat to be a ‘Conservation
Area’, reflecting local-born Peranakan and Eurasian cultures, with similar status to other more central historic sites such as Chinatown, Kampong Glam, Little India
and Emerald Hill. But the story of Joo Chiat has evolved along a somewhat different trajectory from the more prominent, tourism-related,
heritage areas, with a multiplicity of interactions operating at the margins of the planning process. This has led to the
spatial infusion of potentially discordant, globally related, ‘entertainment and recreational’ activities into an area of
established urban identity and multiple attachments. When a policy of police containment was found to be inadequate in protecting
local residents from undesirable impacts, changes were eventually brought about through a combination of neighbourhood activism
and local political initiative. Through detailed land use inspections, press reports and strategic interviews, backed up by
secondary sources, the study highlights the impingement of marginalised, potentially disruptive ‘global’ elements into a local
heritage conservation area, and the importance of strong neighbourhood identity and community involvement as active components
in the process of conflict resolution. 相似文献

This article sets out to explore the political relationship between the global and the local through the prism of the sustainable
development. The ideal of sustainable communities is explored in the context of evolving political fictions that define alternative
conceptions of modernity. While the article uses Ireland (reputedly the most globalised society in the world) as a microcosm
of development, the context is firmly located within the wider sphere of European and planetary politics. It is argued that
the ideal of sustainable communities offers the opportunity of reviving the civic republican tradition of democracy (the Ancient
Greek agora) as a metaphor for the public sphere in the conditions of late modern society. The agora in Ancient Greece provided a site of political assembly, based upon participation (citizens’ engagement in decision-making)
and deliberation (a process of reached argument). Today, concepts such as ‘participatory civility’ and ‘discursive democracy’
seek to revive these classical ideals, as the basis for building sustainable communities in a transforming modernity that
searches for a new logic of development. 相似文献

Contrary to the absence of a uniform Spanish identity (a phenomenon that is often referred to as Spain being a ‘nation of
nations’), Spain’s confessional map is remarkably homogeneous. From the beginning of its existence as a political conglomeration,
Spain has been a mono-confessional Catholic territory. Even at present, Catholicism is an intrinsic feature of Spanish society
and – though officially a secular state – of state policy. A closer look at Spain’s religious situation and its corresponding
pattern of church–state relations reveals, however, some recent cracks in the century’s old bond between Spain and Catholicism.
Particularly secularization and religious pluralism challenge Spain’s mono-confessional Catholic nature, a development that
fits well into Spain’s post-Francoist focus on Europe and European (secular) values. This paper discusses Spanish church–state
relations from the beginning of its political existence until present times. Special attention will be paid to more recent
societal developments and their impact on religious Spain and church–state relations.

Mary Douglas (1993) has indicated some of the shared concerns that keep voluntary enclaves together as ‘social movements’.
The present paper describes a rather different kind of enclave politics, being concerned with the ‘new violence’ of groups
enclaved by social exclusion and force. The paper focuses on the emergence and subsequent development of dissidents in the
civil war in Sierra Leone. The RUF was at the outset a tiny but conventional guerrilla force, modelled on one of the militias
in the Liberian civil war, and seeking to overthrow a decayed neo-patrimonial ‘one-party’ regime. Gaining little popular support,
its members became marooned in forested isolation on the Liberia-Sierra Leone border. Recruits were mainly school children
seized by force and ‘converted’ through having to take part in atrocities against rural civilians. Unable to return to the
larger society on pain of summary execution, captives have had little option but to adjust to the political fantasies of a
violent and unstable leadership. They were enclaved by force. Indicating the predictive strength of Douglas' arguments about
the cultural dynamics of the enclave, the subsequent atrocity-drenched story of the RUF suggests that it is not the content
of belief that determines institutional culture but vice versa. To survive, the enforced enclave develops the concerns of
the classic ‘sect’ - a doctrinaire ‘rationality’ (expressed in crude acts of ‘subtractive’ violence), rejection of magic,
decision making by lots, preoccupation with defection, otiose leadership style. If the rest of the world is to come to terms
with violent enclave organizations such as the RUF and Algerian GIA it may have to pay more careful attention to the way enclave
institutions think. They may not respond ‘rationally’ to the kinds of incentives offered by mainstream groups organised around
hierarchical and/or individualist systems of social accountability.

Segregation is a central concept in the debate on urban issues, both in scientific literature and in society in general. The
process of globalisation is particularly expected to increase polarisation and segregation in cities, resulting in the emergence
of ‘ghettos’ or – as they are called in the Netherlands – ‘income neighbourhoods’. This paper tries to judge the situation
in Dutch cities by studying changes over time; by looking at segregation within cities as well as between cities and the wider
metropolitan area; and by comparing socio-economic differences with socio-cultural and socio-demographic characteristics.
The analysis shows that the empirical facts are quite different from the ongoing debate. It establishes that socio-economic
segregation is more moderate than segregation with respect to the other two dimensions. Contrary to suggestions from the vernacular
debate, segregation within cities is scarcely increasing, but between cities and the surrounding area it is rising with respect
to all three dimensions.

Becoming the tallest building in the world in the mid-1990s, the Petronas Towers was the centre piece of an image of national
progress and development that Malaysian authorities sought to project internationally. The release of Fox Movies' Entrapment in Malaysia in May 1999 provoked political outrage and popular disappointment at the way in which the Petronas Towers in
Kuala Lumpur had been spliced alongside riverside ‘slums’ filmed in the town of Malacca some 150 km away. This paper provides
a critical reading of the spliced scene in the movie. At one level, the angry response of the Malaysian Prime Minister, Dr
Mahathir Mohamad, to the scene diagnoses a geopolitics of asymmetrical representational power. However, I show how Mahathir's
criticism of Entrapment in Malaysia was as much a defence of domestic political legitimacy (and national economic investibility) as it was ‘opposition’
or ‘resistance’ to hegemonic ‘Western’ (mis)representation. In addition, while the material and symbolic work of reimaging
Kuala Lumpur had sought to negate (neo)orientalist imaginings of ‘Asian’ cities, the controversial scene rendered visible
environmental ‘underdevelopment’ that has no place in a modern (vision of) Malaysia. Entrapment thus performed something in inducing Malaysian cities and citizens to ‘clean up’ their act, to practice ‘fully developed’
ways of seeing, being and being seen.

Conspiratorial thought has been highly visible in post-September 11th America, manifest through the continued growth of a
public ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ as well as at the state-level, through the Bush administration’s conspiracy rhetoric of Islamic
terrorists intent on infiltrating the US homeland. In this paper, I demonstrate how conspiracy can be understood as a ‘knowledge-producing
discourse’; dialectically engaged across multiple subject positions and through which geopolitical narratives are performatively
produced and contested at interconnected scales of bodies, homes, city streets and national ‘homelands’. Through drawing on,
and challenging, the conceptual and methodological approaches of a burgeoning feminist geopolitics, I ground my analysis in
the embodied performances of ‘patriotic dissent’ by members of the 9/11 Truth Movement in New York City, as well as through
my own situated and ethical engagement with positions of political difference. 相似文献

This paper juxtaposes the actual areas of settlement and settlement activities of Chinese migrants in Brisbane’s southern
suburbs since the mid-1980s, with the concomitant, ‘government planned’ construction of the city’s Chinatown as an ‘exotic,’
‘ethnic,’ and ‘cosmopolitan’ landmark. It argues that while the latter, as with Chinatowns in other Australian and world cities,
has continued to appropriate the symbols of so-called ‘Chineseness’ to sell the locale to non-Chinese, the former, in recalling
the notion of ‘ethnoburbia,’ significantly evinces actual Chinese migrants’ agency and role in place-making. In the process,
these migrants have not only established a local, ethnically meaningful environment, but also challenged the still current
metonymic Western image of the Chinese as preferring life in ‘ethnic’ urban enclaves that had its origin from early Chinese
settlement and fundamentally detached from the lives of other ethnic groups per se. Indeed greater recognition and comprehension of such locales may go a long way to illustrate that many Chinese living in
Australia today do not fit the territorial, place-based identity often associated with them in the imagination of mainstream
society. 相似文献

Problems associated with tourism development in Southern Africa: The case of Transfrontier Conservation Areas 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Sanette Ferreira 《GeoJournal》2004,60(3):301-310
Tourism in Southern Africa is synonymous with the wildlife safari. In the post-colonial era the establishment of so-called
‘peaceparks’ that straddle the borders of states has come to be seen as a key not only to increasing tourism in the Southern
African region, but also to the modernizing of conservation policies and the development of rural economies. This paper focuses
on the global and continental presence of transfrontier conservation areas, the link between conservation and tourism development,
and the current factors that constrain and influence the realization of an ‘African Dream’ — ‘establishment of the greatest
animal kingdom’. The unstable political situation in Zimbabwe and how this negatively affects wildlife conservation and tourism
in the Gonarezhou part of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, serves as a case study.

We are concerned here with the notion of space as a primary condition for building social relations. From this stand, we have
created two analytical matrixes that can help us characterize two modes: that of ‘being-there-in-space’ and that of ‘being-of-the-space’;
the nomospace and the genospace. While the nomospace is characterized by ‘cold’ connotations, which are ideally defined as a result of a logical option, the genospace is mainly characterized by emotional or ‘warm’ connotations, which originate from a feeling of shared nature and common destiny.
We believe that these matrixes could help us to identify the meanings of some behaviours and, therefore, make us more capable
of interpreting many dynamics that occur in modern societies. The importance of geography is justified by the existing relationship
between these behaviours and their proper spatial form.

Multiphase flow processes in unsaturated cohesive soils are often affected by deformation due to swelling and shrinking as
a result of varying water contents. This paper presents a model concept which is denoted ‘phenomenological’ in terms of the
processes responsible for soil deformation, since the effects of deformation on flow and transport are only considered by
constitutive relations that allow an adaptation of the hydraulic properties. This new model is validated in a detailed intercomparison
study with two state-of-the-art models that are capable of explicitly describing the processes relevant for the deformation.
A ‘numerical experiment’ with a state-of-the-art reference model is used to produce ‘measurement data’ for an inverse-modelling-based
estimation of the model input parameters for the phenomenological concept. 相似文献

The binational reality of border-crossing cities 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Jan Buursink 《GeoJournal》2001,54(1):7-19
In a time of changing border functions city pairs on either side of national state borders have increasingly become objects
of attention, because of border crossing contacts and co-operation at the local level. This paper focuses on conceptual aspects
of such city pairs, owing their existence to either duplication of an already existing city or to partitioning of a once united
city. In search of a proper name that expresses the relations between such partner cities without metaphorical exaggeration,
the current vocabulary is reviewed. Especially the notion of the ‘binational city’ receives critical attention. A discussion
of selected cases of paired cities in Europe and North-America has been included to underline the importance of local conditions
and historical backgrounds with regard to the mutual relations and conditions of co-operation. In conclusion the author states
that for the time being ‘border–crossing’ cities seems to be the best name for city pairs of different national backgrounds,
the emergence of true ‘binational cities’ being a rather exceptional outcome in a far future.

The paper examines the neighborhood council from the perspective of its contribution to town planning. Within the context
of planning in Israel, two distinct models of neighborhood council and their relationship to the municipal planning administration
in two different towns are considered. Their potential as a new arena of planning at the neighborhood level is evaluated,
including the ability to mediate between ‘bottom-up’ and ‘top-down’ planning processes, and to offer a planning framework
that combines local with professional knowledge. 相似文献

A comparative analysis of several vulnerability concepts 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
A comparative analysis of six vulnerability models aims to identify differences and similarities between several approaches
towards understanding vulnerability. The analysis yields a set of characteristics for explaining the condition of vulnerability
(multiple contexts, multiple dimensions, temporal variability, multiple scales and scale-interdependency). In addition, ‘adaptation’
and ‘adaptive capacity’ are identified as key elements of vulnerability. The results of the analysis are put into a wider
context not only of vulnerability but also of resilience and risk research. It is demonstrated that ‘adaptation’ and ‘adaptive
capacity’ serve as hinges not only for conceptualising vulnerability but between ‘vulnerability’ and ‘resilience’ alike. Based
on the results of the comparative analysis, a model of vulnerability focussing on the household and community scale is developed,
which displays the key findings of this work. 相似文献
