试论社会主义法律与共产主义道德的关系

社会主义法律与共产主义道德的相互关系问题,既是马克思主义法学研究的课题,又是马克思主义伦理学研究的课题。马克思主义法学与伦理学在研究社会主义法律与共产主义道德时,不仅要阐明它们各自的特点和相互区别,而且更注意它们之间事实上存在的相辅相成的密切联系。这对于把握社会主义法律与共产主义道德的本质和特点,对于加强社会主义法制建设和共产     

授权立法的体系化思考:冲突与化解

立法法修订之后,讨论的话题从立法论转向了解释论。当对其中的授权立法进行体系化思考时,就会发现四类矛盾冲突,进而影响到该制度的法律适用。立法法一方面规定有十一个事项"只能"或"必须"制定法律,另一方面却又允许针对这十一个事项中的部分事项"授权"制定行政法规,由此产生语言用词的冲突。另外,授权财政部、国家税务总局等部门立法决定税率引发的三次关于提升油价消费税事件,影响社会主体权利安定,导致了权力与权利的冲突。"授权期限届满"、"法律开始制定后"与"法律制定完成后",到底哪个时间截点对授权或立法产生终止的效应,三者之间发生了冲突。允许授权不可避免地会出现部门利益和地方保护主义法律化的后果,但又要求防止这个实施效果的发生,由此引发了冲突。欲处理这四类冲突,必须在体系化思考的基础上,结合立法背景、立法实践等予以一一化解。     

经济全球化进程中的冲突与矛盾:国际政治视角分析

经济全球化是90年代以来各国政府和学者广泛关注的热点问题。事实上,经济全球化是一柄双刃剑。一方面,它推动了世界经济一体化的进程,促进了生产要素在全球范围内的自由流动和合理配置;另一方面,它也隐含着一系列难以解决的冲突和矛盾。突出地表现为：经济全球化与经济民族化的冲突和矛盾;经济全球化与经济地区化的冲突和矛盾;经济全球化过程中超越国家主权与主权国家的冲突和矛盾;经济全球化过程中竞争一斗争加剧与合作一协调加强的冲突和矛盾;经济全球化条件下市场力量与国家干预的冲突和矛盾;经济全球化条件下国际经济旧秩序与新秩序的冲突和矛盾。我们必须正视这些冲突和矛盾,全面、正确地评价经济全球化的功能与作用。只有这样,才能保持清醒的认识,进而制定出既面向世界、又符合中国国情的社会发展战略。

试论乡镇管理与村民自治的衔接与互动

乡镇管理与村民自治的二元并存反映了国家权力与社会权力的关系，必须实现有机的衔接。在现阶段，由于乡镇对农村社会管理的介入程度提高和村民政治参与意识的增强，它们之间出现了矛盾和冲突。为此，应通过积极的制度创新，以实现基层行政管理与村民自治的有效衔接与良性互动。

监督报道影响司法公正警惕网民司法关注与媒体

姚广宜在《新闻法制研究》今年第1期撰文指出，在网络环境下的网民关注更多体现的是民众选择的自发性、任意性。就监督司法而言，民众并非对所有司法个案均同等关注，他们更多关注的是个案本身及其司法程序．其中所“关注的重点案件多具有道德与法律的冲突，私利与公权的矛盾、同公民权利息息相关等因素”。     

Homeownership and Nontraditional and Subprime Mortgages

This article documents the growth and geographic distribution of nontraditional mortgages (NTMs) and subprime mortgages during 2000-2006, and examines the association between these products and homeownership at the county level between 2000 and 2012. It finds a significant relationship between the origination of NTM and subprime mortgages during the boom and changes in the number of homeowners (positive during the 2000-2006 period and negative during the 2006-2012 period) but no significant relationship with the change in the homeownership rate. Looking at specific categories of the population, the results indicate a positive relationship between the presence of NTMs and subprime mortgages and increased numbers of homeowners for young households as well as for low income and minority households, but the relationship is smaller than for the general population. Overall, the relationship between NTMs and homeownership is stronger than the relationship between subprime mortgages and homeownership during the boom and it is less negative during the bust.     

Civic engagement and participation among Ghanaian and Kenyan students and their correlates

This article examines levels of civic engagement among university students in Ghana and Kenya and identifies factors that may account for their civic engagement. Overall, the students reported low civic engagement, with the Kenyans reporting higher engagement. Demographic factors (gender and age) and personal values hardly contributed to the students’ civic engagement. Political interest and attentiveness, barriers and motivation towards participation made a consistent and significant contribution to political participation and future participation. Furthermore, trust, social endorsement and social efficacy showed a consistent and significant contribution to civic engagement. The findings underscore the need to work towards getting the youth more engaged.     

Concept and Politics in Derrida and Deleuze

Abstract

This paper points to significant similarities between the political orientations of Deleuze and Derrida. Derrida's appeal to a pure form of existing concepts (absolute hospitality, pure forgiveness, and so on) parallels Deleuze and Guattari's distinction between relative and absolute ‘deterritorialisation’. In each case, the absolute form of the concept is a condition of the possibility of change.     

Ontological Anti-naturalism and the Emergence of Life and Mind: Castoriadis and Deacon

This essay compares the ideas of Cornelius Castoriadis and Terrence W. Deacon. Castoriadis’s anti-Naturalistic ontology, with its conception of radical ontological creation and fundamental indeterminacy, along with his analysis of the category of the “for-itself”, comprising all subjective beings from the living organism to the social-historical, is compared to Deacon’s exploration of the emergence of life and mind, which sees the emergence of teleological beings as resulting from the creation of form-generating constraints that involve new types of dynamic process. Significant parallels and convergences between Castoriadis and Deacon are uncovered and explored.     

Between ballots and bullets: elections and citizenship in and beyond the nation-state

This article approaches electoral acts and performances as central sites for the negotiation of citizenship relations. I argue that, in order to understand how these relationships are shaped, we must attend to governmental actors beyond the nation-state, from trade unions to criminal organizations. Focusing on the case of Jamaica, I show how non-state actors have come to play a central role in hybrid forms of governance, shaping citizens' allegiances to multiple, overlapping political communities. How are campaigning and voting affected by such multiple allegiances? What new understandings of citizenship can we develop if we take the role of non-state actors in the electoral process seriously? I suggest that we should study elections as a site where citizenship – understood here in its broad sense of membership of a political community – can develop both within and beyond the nation-state.     

Beyond silence and voice: gender,sexuality and antimilitarism in Turkey and Israel

Turkey and Israel project two distinct military regimes which construct gender and sexuality in specific ways as part of their respective security agendas. Despite the differences, however, both entitle women and LGBTQs to certain exemptions from the military service, and in doing so silence their antimilitarist activism. Women and LGBTQs counter this process through their acts of conscientious objection, through which they claim a voice in matters of militarism, security and war. While doing so, however, they reproduce a dichotomous conceptualisation of silence and voice, which falls short of explaining their agency as well as its outcomes. Drawing on a comparative analysis, I argue that a more nuanced understanding of agency necessitates deconstructing the dichotomy between silence and voice, each of which may have multiple meanings, connotations and consequences. Whereas silent acts of grey objection do not always point to a lack of agency and resistance, or domination, and may indeed create change; voice and visibility that follow their declared acts of objection may entail costs and loss of agency, in that not only does it come at the expense of the masculinisation/militarisation of their acts but may also result in the immediate deterioration of their rights to refuse.     

Antisemitic and anti-Israel actions and attitudes in Canada and internationally: a research agenda

ABSTRACT

Brym’s article critically reviews data and the small body of published research on the relationship between antisemitic and anti-Israel attitudes in Canada and internationally with the aim of identifying key questions that Canadian and non-Canadian researchers who are interested in this contentious issue might profitably address. It derives a series of hypotheses from the literature review and discusses methodological approaches to testing them.     

Religion and National Identity in America and Europe

America and Europe have had very different religious experiences, and these differences have continuing consequences. In America, the preponderance of Reform Protestantism gave rise to religious and political pluralism, a religious marketplace, and the continuing vitality of the churches. In Europe, the dominance of state churches gave rise to the eventual rejection of these churches and religions when the traditional political and social authorities were rejected, particularly by the Generation of 1968. However, Europe’s extreme secularization has rendered it confused and ineffective in dealing with the new religious challenge posed by Muslim immigrant communities.

Communist socialization and post-communist economic and political attitudes

We investigate the effect of individual exposure to communism on support for democracy and capitalism. We examine whether this effect varies across different types of communism, at different periods of people's lives, in different countries, and across different types of individuals. To do so, we propose a modified approach to solving the APC problem that relies on (a) survey data from multiple countries (b) historically defined cohorts and (c) variation in the time-periods related to these cohorts across countries. We provide a series of robustness tests for the method, and show that results are not very sensitive to panel structure. We conclude that generally communism had an indoctrinating effect, with more exposure to communism resulting in more opposition to democracy and capitalism.
