"研讨式"教学方式初探——以我院"一国两制与台湾问题"教学为例

"研讨式"教学是一种以解决问题为中心的现代教学方式.相对于传统的"讲授式","研讨式"更多的注重了师生的互动,能更好的调动学员的思考和学习的积极性.以在贵州省社会主义学院开展的一次"一国两制与台湾问题"研讨课为例,探讨"研讨式"这种新型教学方式的授课心得.     

一个“强化民主”的司法审查理论——对《民主与不信任》的再解读

在《民主与不信任》一书中,伊利试图通过建构一个非但不与民主相冲突,而且还促进和强化民主的一个司法审查理论,来回应司法审查不民主的质疑。伊利主张:在政府失灵,即代议程序不值得信任之时,法院在司法审查中应当积极介入;疏通政治变革的渠道,以及纠正对少数人的某些歧视,是法院的应有职能;多数人决定与少数人保护,是民主原理的内在组成部分。伊利借助于代表理论,"尊重多数人"和"保护少数人"这两项要求有机地统一在一起。对掌权者不信任的逻辑,贯穿于伊利的司法审查理论。伊利通过程序论,建构了一个比较融贯的司法审查理论,不过,却不能使宪法裁判免于价值判断。     

Grandes expectativas: la democracia mexicana y sus descontentos

There is no doubt that democracy in México has fallen short of expectations: it has not increased social and economic equality. Few people deem their participation in politics is now more effective than before, the elected government often fails to meet citizens' demands, and some regions of the country are seemingly under the control of violent drug cartels. These faults certainly fuel the voters' discontent with the democratic regime. The aim of this paper though is to focus on other less apparent sources of the existing intense political dissatisfaction. Mexicans are unsatisfied with their democratic government not only because it has not provided them with the social goods they are realistically or not expecting from democracy. They are also unhappy due to the perceived gap between an idealized notion of democracy and the way the existing democratic institutions actually work, as an odd ahistorical image of democracy has been constructed. The major claim of this work is that the critical standard of democracy assumed by Mexicans is inaccurate. It will be argued that this ideological misconception has had pernicious effects, as it has nurtured unreasonable expectations and has inhibited Mexicans from considering feasible reforms. It will be also examined in particular the role played by the pursuit of equity.     

雷经天新民主主义司法思想论

雷经天的司法思想是新民主主义司法思想的典型体现。苏维埃司法的政法传统、边区司法正规化改革思想及马克思主义理论的中国化潮流是其思想的主要来源。围绕新民主主义司法观，雷经天提出了在司法组织上贯彻民主集中制，在法官队伍建设中加强工农干部与知识分子干部的融合，在六法全书援用中将政治立场与司法实践适度分离，在司法程序中坚持司法民主、发展司法便利等系列观点。其思想贯穿着革命性和实践性思维的特点，是时代背景与个人经验综合作用的产物。     

关于建立健全党内议事规则的思考

民主价值的实现有赖于民主技术的支撑，否则民主就不可能成为“好东西”。十七届四中全会提出的“坚持和健全民主集中制，积极发展党内民主”，“以党内民主带动人民民主”的民主建设战略，符合中国民主成长的内在逻辑。而要切实推进党内民主，应在党的所有领导部门（党委）制定议事规则，如此，才能使民主集中制、集体领导、党内民主收到实效。     

司法价值视阈下的审判公开

司法价值关乎具体的司法动向和司法目标的实现。在深化司法体制改革过程中,确立了司法公正、司法效率、司法民主的价值取向。审判公开在促进司法公正,提高司法效率,保障司法民主方面,彰显了司法价值。     

中国共产党党内民主建设的历史回顾与前景展望

中国共产党自成立之日起就把党内民主建设作为自身建设的重大历史课题,经过90年的艰辛探索与实践,取得了显著成果,积累了丰富经验,也有着深刻教训。新的历史条件下,总结党内民主建设的经验教训,丰富发展党内民主理论,既是提高党建科学化水平的必然要求,也是发展党内民主的实践需要。     

Democracy in Britain: Retrospect and Prospect

The EU referendum has raised questions about the nature of democracy, which is not just majority rule. It is wrong to claim that direct democracy has now replaced representative democracy, as Parliament is required to answer all the questions that the referendum did not. The conduct of the referendum reflected the worst aspects of Britain's political culture of sterile adversarialism. Both left and right have shared assumptions about governing that have made it difficult to develop a culture of democratic citizenship. The political system still reflects its pre‐democratic origins (as in the survival of a House of Lords and the obsession with titles) and the role of money in politics represents a form of corruption. Institutional reforms depend for their success on the nurturing of a democratic culture, which is a task for many hands.     

Direct Democracy and Political Trust: Enhancing Trust,Initiating Distrust–or Both?

This study investigates the relationship between direct democracy and political trust. We suggest a solution to the controversy in research centering on positive versus negative effects of direct democracy by analytically differentiating between the availability of direct democratic rights and the actual use of those rights. Theoretically, greater availability of direct democratic rights may enhance political trust by increasing citizens' perception that political authorities can be controlled as well as by incentivizing political authorities to act trustworthily. In contrast, the actual use of the corresponding direct democratic instruments may initiate distrust as it signals to citizens that political authorities do not act in the public's interest. We test both hypotheses for the very first time with sub‐national data of Switzerland. The empirical results seem to support our theoretical arguments.     

关于协商民主理论与实践的几个问题

当前，协商民主作为中国特色社会主义民主政治的实现形式之一，已成为深化我国政治体制改革的重要任务。十八大对健全协商民主制度进行了总体规划和部署，协商民主在中国的发展前景，值得我们寄予乐观的期待。中国在长期政治生活中形成了多级政治协商制度，探索出听证会、民主恳谈会等基层民主实践，这些为健全中国特色社会主义协商民主制度提供了具有积极意义的实践经验。同时，党中央多次强调要建立社会协商对话制度，协商民主的协商场域正在不断拓宽。工资集体协商的广泛推行就是协商场域拓宽的一种表现，在这方面，福建泉州的工资集体协商尤其具有代表性。
