Parenting Coordination and Confidentiality: A (Not‐so) Delicate Balance

This article describes the current state and range of information protection in the growing number of states and Canadian provinces that employ parenting coordination in an effort to reduce repeat custody litigation. The predominant approach—in which what is revealed during the process is not confidential—is analyzed in terms of its compatibility with the parenting coordinator's multiple tasks of educating parents, seeking to facilitate agreements, and, if necessary, providing the court with a report, a recommended decision, or an arbitrated result. Using a case scenario with multiple parts, the article then examines such confidentiality schemes in practice by providing an action‐oriented series of questions that illustrate how much of this topic must be resolved through a parenting coordinator's exercise of discretion in the absence of rule clarity. The article then raises a number of policy questions about whether current parenting coordination confidentiality norms strike the optimal or even the correct balance on information protection and concludes by identifying several policy options that might address these questions.     

推动与促进:家庭资本对青年农民非农就业行为的影响机制探析

家庭资本是个人拥有的一种嵌入在家庭关系中的先赋性资源,它在青年非农就业中的作用可区分为推动和促进两种机制。本文使用全国抽样调查数据,分析了农村青年的家庭资本对其非农就业行为的影响机制。统计结果发现,家庭的社会资本、文化资本和经济资本对青年非农就业行为均具有明显的推动作用,家庭社会资本和文化资本对青年非农就业水平的提升无明显影响,而家庭经济资本对非农就业水平具有显著促进作用。文章最后进一步讨论了这些发现的启示性内涵。

World Bank, Governance Reforms and Democracy in Argentina

The World Bank's endorsement in the 1990s of institutional reforms as a constitutive dimension of economic development led to the adoption of a governance agenda. The paper analyses the role the Bank exercised in Argentina and explains its influence in the adoption of a new state model, of new state civil society relations and on particular key components of democracy. This paper argues that while the Bank has helped to set up an agenda of reform regarding governance problems, the push for particular policies and practices has also produced partial and contradictory results on the consolidation of democracy.
