“The Lions of Tomorrow”: A News Value Analysis of Child Images in Jihadi Magazines

Abstract

This article reports and discusses the results of a study that investigated photographic images of children in five online terrorist magazines to understand the roles of children in these groups. The analysis encompasses issues of Inspire, Dabiq, Jihad Recollections (JR), Azan, and Gaidi Mtanni (GM) from 2009 to 2016. The total number of images was ninety-four. A news value framework was applied that systematically investigated what values the images held that resulted in them being “newsworthy” enough to be published. This article discusses the key findings, which were that Dabiq distinguished different roles for boys and girls, portrayed fierce and prestigious boy child perpetrators, and children flourishing under the caliphate; Inspire and Azan focused on portraying children as victims of Western-backed warfare; GM portrayed children supporting the cause peacefully; and JR contained no re-occurring findings.     

From environmental policy concepts to practicable tools: Knowledge creation and delegation in multilevel systems

The problem‐solving capacity and problem‐generating potential of multilevel systems entail the need for the delegation of authority. When the problem concerned is about how to put an abstract policy concept into a practicable policy tool, the choice of the respective delegation trajectory depends on the policy models or the policy‐relevant knowledge that the respective political levels can supply. When regarding the European Union (EU) level as the starting point of knowledge creation and delegation trajectories, and concentrating on transaction costs, policy knowledge and models generated at the international level provide the most cost‐effective solution. Only when the international level is not able to provide further policy knowledge and innovation does the EU delegate its definitional authority, first downward to the member states and then sideways to EU agencies. We illustrate the plausibility of our dynamic understanding of multilevel governance by using Environmental Policy Integration as an example.

破窗理论:行乞人员犯罪治理困境及路径探索——基于259份刑事裁判文书的实证分析

通过对十余年来259份刑事裁判文书实证分析发现,行乞者犯罪近几年呈现平稳增长、犯罪分布分散化、常实施传统侵财及侵犯人身安全等犯罪、累犯或前科占比较小、轻刑化趋势明显等特征。犯罪场域监管力度不足,以及行乞者贫困、学历低等个人因素,成为行乞者犯罪的重要诱因。“破窗理论”中的失序行为常与犯罪相伴而生、当失序行为叠加至“上限”时易引发犯罪、通过秩序维护控制犯罪等主张,较为契合行乞者犯罪之治理需求。因此,需要通过改善场域环境,多方联动治理,倡导设立“邻里守望”项目改善行乞者犯罪的外部环境;在行乞者陷入行乞前,精准扶贫;在行乞时,强化救助;在犯罪后,辅以司法人文关怀。     

税收结构改变的长期影响与转型特征

提高直接税比重是优化我国税制结构和调节收入分配的重要实现途径，但可能同时对经济增长和社会福利产生影响。当政府降低消费税，如果维持长期总税收不变，那么不管是提高工资收入税税率还是资本收入税税率，经济中的资本积累和生产规模都会有一定程度的缩减；从长期看，提高直接税比重会降低消费者福利，但是转型过程中可能会有部分代际受益。相比于提高资本收入税，提高工资收入税税率在长期给经济增长和消费者福利带来的负效应更为明显。

全球公共产品视角下新冠肺炎疫苗供给困境、中国路径与挑战对策

2020年暴发的新冠肺炎疫情对全球卫生安全构成了严重威胁,也给全球卫生治理带来了重大挑战。新冠肺炎疫苗是战胜疫情的关键产品工具。在全球公共产品的视角下,新冠肺炎疫苗供给困境集中体现在供给总量与需求总量严重失衡、产业链分布不均、美国供给意愿与能力弱化三个方面。作为负责任的大国,中国从国内层面积极研发疫苗、区域层面主动展开合作及全球层面加入疫苗多边机制三大路径向国际社会供给新冠肺炎疫苗产品。但随着全球卫生安全体系的失序、失衡,中国新冠肺炎疫苗产品的全球供给面临着疫苗的安全性、政治化与国内外需求平衡等挑战。当下,中国应坚持人类卫生健康共同体理念,立足国内疫苗研发生产的实际情况,以多边卫生机制为主要平台,强化国际卫生合作,为全球卫生治理贡献中国方案与中国智慧。
