Myanmar＇s Political Transition and the Adjustments of U Thein Sein Administra-tion＇s Policies towards China

During 2010-2011, Myanmar started its political transition. The U Thein SeinAdministration has made obvious policy adjustments towards China after it replaced the Mili-tary government. However, such adjustments were limited, as Myanmar hasn＇t totally lean tothe West, but keeping relatively closer political contact with China. Empirical analysis showsthat political institu6on and ideology are not the key reasons leading to such adjustments？China-Myanmar relations had undergone fluctuation, osdlla6on and stability during 2011-2016, the root causes of which are the legality of political power, national security based ongeopolitics and economic development demands of＂ Myanmar people. Moreover, those threefactors remain the primary considerations of the NLD Government when it handling relationswith China.

Organizational Power Politics and Leadership Experiences on the View and Use of Power in Organizations

Organizational power politics permeates all actions within an organization. Power is one person＇s ability to exert change on another person＇s way of life and actions. Using power is a valuable means to influence and achieve intended desires and future action in others. Power is instrumental; it＇s a means to achieve goals other than the attainment of power itself. Power may also be expressed as one person＇s dependence on another. Power can, and sometimes is, a goal; its basic use is instrumental in the achievement of one＇s goals or aims. This paper is part of a descriptive analysis section from a study conducted on organizational power and leadership. The researcher gathered insights into the lived experiences of like-minded sample of respondents as they described organizational power politics and how they view and use power in their vanous leadership positions .

The Appearances of Power： Its Violent and Popular Geneses According to Machiavelli and La Bo6tie

This paper develops a phenomenology of power in its various forms based on the account of the relationship between domination and freedom given by Niccol6 Machiavelli and ttienne de La Bo6tie. These authors are read in such a way as to extract the contemporary meaning of power in relation to the concept of appearance. Both authors link domination to other forms of violent power （oppression, exploitation, and exclusion）, and while they recognize the inevitable role of appearances in politics, they oppose the tendency of rulers to use appearances to maintain their power over the people. The sharing of intellectual power is then the most likely way for popular power, once it makes its appearance in society, to lead to transformations in governmental and economic power.

Discussion on the Logical Coordination between Legal Theory and Legal Practice——from the Perspective of the Legal Basis of NPC5s Discussion and Decisiomaking Power on Major Issues

The decision of local people's congresses to discuss major issues is a basic right granted to local people's congresses by the Chinese Constitution and laws.However,in practice,the implementation of the power of deliberation of major issues by local people's congresses is worrying.By applying the theory of Chinese traditionalism and unity in the theory of law,the theory of"sovereignty in the people"in the social contract theory of Western natural law school,Austin's"legal command theory55 in Western positivist law and Hart's"recognition""Rules theory"to argue that the integrity of rights necessarily involves the dual factors of decision-making and execution.At the same time,the existence and operation of the law always reflects the development of the political system.The realistic political situation requires us to make more precise and meticulous refinement of the external form and specific technical links of the legal system,and to coordinate the rules to make up the legal theory and Conflicts and conflicts in legal practice help to reform social institutions.

The Natural Landscape of Philosophy （The Political Reflection of Heraclitus and Aristotle）

Civilizational breakthrough of ＂axial time,＂ implemented ＂human band＂ in the middle of the first millennium BC practically simultaneously in different latitudes of our planet--this is the time of the birth of science and arts, the development of language as a literary tradition, the becoming of Myth as an active picture of the world--a subjective objective, a philosophical understanding of what is the person and being that surrounds him and what he creates, and formation of knowing the world by the word and deed of the subject and, at the same time, the thinking object possessing political reflection. However, political reflection has one significant drawback--the brevity of historical memory, which should from time to time be brought to life, refreshing the milestones of events and the wisdom of others＇ reflections, so that cognitive dissonances do not arise freely （arbitrarily） or malicious aforethought of political phenomena （war, state, strategist-politician, political power, etc.）, breaking the membrane of human hostel---ethos, the philosophy of culture, art with science and the craving for work. The 20th century （and lasting the first quarter of the 21 st century）, is as a vivid illustration of endless wars and permanent revolutions, as an age of world and local conflicts, demonstrating an indissoluble connection with the ancient myth, the 20th scattered the teeth of mythology, rehashing the world and the principles of the state, destroying boundaries and the empire, unleashing new wars, multiplying ethnic conflicts, sweeping away valued reference point and changing anthropological signs, disagreeing with the essential in man： depriving the Word and the Cause.

Beyond a Quartic Polynomial Modeling of the DNA Double-Helix Genetic Code

By combination of finite number theory and quantum information, the complete quantum information in the DNA genetic code has been made likely by Planat et al. (2020). In the present contribution a varied quartic polynomial contrasting the polynomial used by Planat et al. is proposed that considered apart from the golden mean also the fifth power of this dominant number of nature to adapt the code information. The suggested polynomial is denoted as g(x) = x4 - x3 - (4 - ϕ2 )x2 + (4 – ϕ2)x + 1, where is the golden mean. Its roots are changed to more golden mean based ones in comparison to the Planat polynomial. The new coefficients 4 – ϕ2 instead of 4 would implement the fifth power of the golden mean indirectly applying . As an outlook, it should be emphesized that the connection between genetic code and resonance code of the DNA may lead us to a full understanding of how nature stores and processes compacted information and what indeed is consciousness linking everything with each other suggestedly mediated by all-pervasive dark constituents of matter respectively energy. The number-theoretical approach to DNA coding leads to the question about the helical structure of the electron.

A Cosmic Dimension： C. S. Lewis＇s Engagement with the Politics of Power and the Challenge of Jesus

This paper focuses on some literary expressions of the role of faith in our engagement with things political from the pen of C. S. Lewis, whose writings are distinguished by a combination of intellectual force and imaginative flair. In an increasingly secular climate, he sought to bring God back into the equation, and it is not surprising to find some current issues addressed within his imaginative representations of a vibrant spiritual reality. His ideas and ideology are inextricably linked to his Christian faith. Several critical essays reflect his interest in both theology and political issues including： the ethical use of technology, civil liberties, ecology, pacifism, and animal rights. This material forms the layers of his science-fiction trilogy which includes themes of spiritual warfare, factions, faith, and a fairy tale ending. His theology was not confined to the disciplines of a particular school of thought and his approach to things political follows no party line. His critical essays and stories are concerned with the practicalities of life, but are never reduced to a merely social gospel; they always have a cosmic dimension.

Aesthetic Criticism of the Spatial Violence in The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games, a current popular dystopian fiction written byAmerican writer Suzanne Collins, reveals the social crises of the post-capitalism time.It stirs up the harsh criticism for its many violent depictions, but it is the depictions ofviolence that make it special. From a critical viewpoint of aesthetics of violence, thispaper tries to use the theory of violence of post-Marxist Slavoj Zizek to analyze anddig out that the essential root of the crises in the novel is the capitalism system itselfin the post capitalist era. The extreme desire of capitalism is to occupy extreme capitalspace that leads to the building up of the totalitarian governance at the base of spatialviolent politics in the novel. The spatial isolation becomes the most necessary devicefor making biggest profits; while violence becomes the most effective security toremain the spatial isolation. The close union of multiple violence and spatial isolationbecomes the strongest foundation of the totalitarianism of capitalist society. Then itbecomes the impressive theme of the aesthetics of violence of the novel—how thegoverned can employ the violence of the other’s to break the spatial isolation anddestroy the totalitarian system of the social mainstream to win back their own liberty.Therefore, the aesthetics of violence in the novel is full of power of critical aestheticswith violence against violence. Based on such critical aesthetics of violence, theforces of self-consciousness and self-activity of the disciplined others are awakeningfor their subjective rights on the way when violence against violence.

Expected but Permanent？ ： The Tatmadaw＇s Continued Political Involvement in Myanmar

The Tatmadaw remains the most regardless of other changes to powerful political entity in Myanmar, motivated to preserve four core interests the state and society--maintenance of complete institutional autonomy and independence; exclusive control over security portfolios; veto powers over constitutional change; and inhibiting prosecution for actions conducted during the Junta era. These interests are embedded within and supported by a praetorian ethos pillared upon a national security narrative justifying the military＇s ongoing political involvement while the democratic process continues to mature, including past the upcoming parliamentary elections this November. New institutions and practices, however, have opened the political realm in unprecedented ways. Within this increasingly shifting political landscape, it is uncertain the unity and coherence of the regime--the military and their retired brethren in charge of the executive and parliament to maintain power, especially due to the large manipulations of the electoral and democratic processes which would be required to ensure their rule. Military intervention cannot be ruled out, but the Tatmadaw is reluctant to overtly and aggressively regain control politically unless it feels its core interests will be irrevocably and immediately compromised by a new government. With their roles and responsibilities protected, the military may feel they can control, or at least marginalize, a parliament and/or government hostile to its interests. The 2015 elections will not, therefore, mark the end of the military＇s preponderant political influence but continue to erode their control over the pathways of political power and may bring about the first truly civilian-military government in the country＇s transition away from military rule; a significant milestone as those outside the old, yet still influential, military regime gain access to begrudgingly-ceded power.

Exploring the Body Politics of Female Teachers from the Perspective of Intersectionality and Agency in Education Locale

This paper explores how the body discourses constructed by patriarchal culture influence individual＇s body viewpoint and form teachers＇ body image in educational fields in gender perspectives of feminisms and the concepts of power and discourse from Foucanlt. At the same time I will also demonstrate that the body politics of women teachers in secondary education do not represent the stable and rigid hierarchy of traditional teacher-student relationship but shape the subjectivity which are deployed and suffused as a capillary action by the disciplines and power relations interwoven by gender, sexuality, class and age throughout the individual＇s cognition and behavior, thus produce self-monitoring in the meantime monitoring others for social function. Finally, I will argue that how the subjectivity under the social structure and cultural norms generates an individual＇s agency of resistance and subversion to existing gender structures through reflectivity in the cracks produced by the collision, fragmentation, consultation within different discourses, and then finds the temporary strategic and political positioning and identity.

The strategy of Rural Revitalization is an important strategic measure to comprehensively promote rural modernization in the period of building a socialist modernization country with Chinese characteristics.In essence,a farmer’s political participation is,of course,to inevitably build a new socialist countryside,cultivate new socialist farmers and realize socialist rural modernization.This paper attempts to explore the promotion and efficient realization of farmers’political participation from three ways of improving the subject ability of political participation,first,to improve subject ability;second,to guarantee object conditions,third,and to create the proper environment.And this paper illustrates that the modernization of rural areas requires the modernization of farmers’ideology and political consciousness.The comprehensive promotion of the modernization of peasants’ideology and political consciousness is embodied in the practice of political participation.

Power and Politics:The Psychology of Gender

Power,often seen as a tool for control,extends beyond individuals to encompass decisions and resources.Various groups hold varying degrees of power in society,employing tactics to gain and expand it.Politics is essentially the use of power to achieve goals,often stemming from conflicts between personal and organizational objectives.This occurs in situations marked by autocratic decision-making,unclear authority,resource scarcity,and uncertainty,when organizational politics contradict employees’interests,trust erodes,prioritizing individual concerns over collective goals.Constructive politics,however,empower and differentiate between ethical and unethical behavior.Gender,a socially constructed variable,is influenced by psychology and sociology literature,affecting power dynamics.This paper explores the interplay of power and politics in society,striving for a more equitable and progressive outcome while addressing their contribution to gender inequality.Globalization and economic restructuring impose changes,fostering discrimination and preferential treatment.We examine policy implementations in food,agriculture,health,and education,finding that despite significant changes,they often fail to benefit disadvantaged populations.

Review of the International Situation in 2012

The world in 2012 has continued the patchwork of turbulences of the past several years, only with more conflicts and turmoil, and deeper adjustments and transformations. The world economy was still trapped in the crisis and its recovery has been faltering. Situations in hot-spot areas became more complicated, and big powers’ strategic adjustments and jostling in geopolitics have intensified. Competitions in development models and

A Study of Power in English Corporate E-mails： A Discourse Approach

Nowadays, the e-mail exchange has been prevailing all over the world. Nevertheless, studies on power exercised and enacted in e-mail communication within a corporation can hardly be found at home. The present study, based on the theoretical framework of power＆ solidarity and politeness systems （Scollon,R and Scollon, S.W. 2000）, is made with an attempt to explore the power relations in e-mail exchange among staffof＂upper-lower＂ ranks within multinational corporations in China. The study shows that, in modern multinational corporations, power is an underlying force. To mask and mystify power, we need to resort to a range of linguistic strategies such as the use of relative modality, inclusive pronoun ＂we/our＂, the selection of informal words and the preferred FN （first names） forms of addressing.

The“Emperor’s Edict”and the Emperor’s power in the Southern Song Dynasty

“Emperor’s Edict”refers to the writing of emperor himself.In the context of serving as official document,it refers to the special writ issued by emperor for sake of administering national affairs.In the official document system of Song Dynasty,“Emperor’s Edict”had always been an attention of the scholars and officials at that time due to its unusual functions in terms of drafting,promulgation and power.The Southern Song Dynasty was generally conceived by academic circles as a period when the“Administration by Emperor’s Edict”was gradually phased out.We did observe,however,with“Emperor’s Edict”placed in historical panorama of the early years of Southern Song Dynasty,an ever-strengthened power and prowess of“Emperor’s Edict”as backlit by several historical incidents such as Emperor Gaozong’s controlling and manipulating by“Emperor’s Edict”of the national armies.It reflects the political truth of strengthened imperial power in the Southern Song Dynasty.Hence,we can have access to another facet of the politics of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Pragmatic Analysis on Discourse Power in Courtroom

Courtroom discourse is a typical institutional discourse, which reflects the complicated discourse purpose among the participants in courtroom, with several characteristics such as: asymmetry of power relation, complex directions of communication and complex meaning of utterance. Although courtroom discourse is restricted by special procedures or rules, it is still under the control of the cooperative principle and politeness principle. In order to achieve goals, the participants are bound to obey or violate the cooperative principle and politeness principle.

Vladimir Nabokov's Political Consciousness

This study consists of three parts. PartⅠ, entitled ' Nabokov’ s Women,' concentrates on the analysis of Nabokov’ s major women identities of different types. My purpose is to demonstrate that in his creation of the women characters, Nabokov’ s political consciousness—mainly his vindication of individual freedom—is unmistakably, although indirectly, exemplified. Due to the different types of women discussed in this study, and also due to the different aspect of his political consciousness that is emphasized in different women identities, this part is subdivided into three chapters. Chapter One, entitled 'Women in the Triangle: Martha and Margot,' focuses on the two women characters in Nabokov’ s early novels. King, Queen, Knave and Laughter in the Dark, aiming to provide an in-depth analysis of the two, and to show that Nabokov has be stowed his special purpose on the creation of Martha and Margot, that is, his condemnation on those who reduce the free and active individual into objects, and such condemnation echoing with Nabokov’ s later direct vindication of individual freedom. Chapter Two, entitled 'The Eternal Feminine:Lolita and Ada,' analyzes the two title characters in Lolita and Ada, or Ardor:A Family Chronicle, illustrating that Lolita is the victim in that her free consciousness is purposefully neglected by the other, man in that case;while Ada enjoys her life totally because she can conduct her free consciousness in her own life. Chapter Three, entitled ' Other Types and Women in His Mind’ s Eye,' deals with Elisabeth, another woman character in Laughter in the Dark, who is a good traditional wife, and Liza, ex-wife of Pnin in Pnin, who is what Nabokov terms as poshlost. In addition, this chapter also provides an examination of Nabokov’ s attitude toward women. Through this analysis, Nabokov’ s Russian Complex is to a degree illustrated.

On Fashion’s Political Engagement in Modern Society

In class society,fashion is identified as a sign of class position and social status,while in modern democratic society fashion’s political connotation and significance have greatly changed and is mainly displayed from the following three aspects:1)as a way of social protest from vulnerable social groups by being symbol of being an independent and free subject.However,the resistance or protest represented by fashion is no more than something ritual.2)as a way of identity and subjectivity construction,both individual and national;3)as embodiment of fashion leadership and a way of incorporation.Generally to say,fashion has played an important role in every aspect above.However,there is still a tension between them and we must manage carefully to keep a balance.

The Impacts of Global Energy Transition on Middle East Politics

Due to the symbiotic relations between oil and the contemporary Middle East, a global energy transition is bound to affect the Middle East's international status and the power structure among its countries. The power gap between rich and poor countries will widen, and the “big politics of small states” in countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar may become more prominent. As economic development has become the top priority of national strategies, many hot spots in the Middle East have cooled down as relations between rival countries have eased and there are even signs of multilateral economic cooperation. Meanwhile, there are signs of vicious economic competition among related countries. With the decline of the Middle East's global importance, the United States and Europe are moving further away while the interdependence between Asia and the Middle East is increasing. Reforms to tackle the energy transition in the Middle East are a race against time, difficult, and uncertain, but the signs so far are positive.

Are There Tea Parties on Mars？ Business and Politics in Science Fiction Films

This paper will apply a politically oriented description-critique paradigm developed from the works of Whitehall and Grewell that offers a way to examine works of popular culture, particularly Mars-based science fiction films. Because of the unique nature of these films, primarily which they are set in a future and distant world, they allow us to explore the socio-political landscape in which they were created from a remove that does not exist in ＂real-world＂ based works. Specifically we will be examining the governing power （in any particular Mars-based science fiction film） that might be either wielded by business interests or governmental interests. Although it is possible to have both a strong government and a strong business in a society, in many Mars-based science fiction films, government and business seem to represent two sides of a continuum. The stronger the business power structure in the film, the weaker the governmental power structure, and vice-versa.
