A New Look at New Labour

This article challenges the current orthodoxy, for instance put forward by Driver and Martell (1998), that New Labour represents a clearly defined break from the Labour Party's past. Drawing upon accounts of Labour's historical development, I argue that Labour in government has always been concerned with forging cross-class alliances, more often than not in the face of bitter internal opposition from the party's grass-roots membership. I conclude that the objectives of the Blair government are not dissimilar from those of the Attlee and Wilson administrations, and that where the means to achieve these ends differ – for example with regard to social policy – this is a rational response to the profound economic and social changes that have taken place since the 1970s.     

自反性现代化理论考察

现代化在为人类带来福祉的同时,也产生了一系列严重的社会问题,其合理性越来越受到人们的质疑。在这种背景下,一些社会学家提出了自反性现代化理论及风险社会的概念,力图从现代化自身结构性矛盾视角分析其发展脉络。尽管自反性现代化理论还不成熟,有待进一步完善,但它为我们分析和重建现代化理论提供了富有启示性的思路。     

从职业变动看性别差异——基于河南省高校毕业生的调查

职业变动中的性别差异是职业变动中不容忽视的重要问题.10年来河南省高校毕业生职业变动的情况表明:劳动力市场分割和资本对职业变动中的性别差异会产生影响,即高校毕业生所处的劳动力市场不同,拥有的人力资本和社会资本不同,其职业变动就会产生性别差异.为此,需要大力发展生产力,营造公平的劳动力市场环境,强化女大学生的人力资本和社会资本等,为女大学生谋求公平的职业变动空间和职业发展机会.     

A Closer Look at Reporting Bias in Conflict Event Data

Recent data collections about political violence are frequently based on media reports, which can lead to reporting bias. This is an issue in particular for the emergent literature on communication technology and conflict, since this technology may not only affect violence, but also the reporting about it. Using the effect of cellphones on violence as an example, this article presents a quantitative assessment of reporting bias in a micro‐level analysis. Comparing media‐based event reports and those from military sources, the results show that the purported violence‐increasing effect of cellphone coverage is partly due to higher reporting rates of violence in cellphone‐covered areas. A simple diagnostic procedure for this problem is implemented. Applied to the analysis of cellphones and violence in Africa, it produces a pattern that is consistent with reporting bias driving much of the effect found in the Pierskalla and Hollenbach (2013) study about this topic.

Political Science: A Look at the Discipline from a Postgraduate Perspective

Research has become increasingly important within social science since the introduction of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). The RAE has served to simultaneously focus the attention of academic institutions upon research output and emphasise the obvious penalties of poor performance in this area in terms of potentially lower academic status, lower income and lower student numbers. Academic institutions have, therefore, begun to pay an increasing amount of attention to postgraduate research and the needs of postgraduates. This article questions the extent to which institutions are actually meeting these needs and reviews the extent to which institutions reap the potential benefits that employment of postgraduates can bring.     

从国际安全理论范式看当代中国安全战略选择

主权国家怎样在当代全球互动背景下实现国家安全,有现实主义、自由主义、建构论,均势安全、权力均衡、集体安全等不同选择。现实中,没有一个国家会单纯执行某种纯粹的战略。我国的选择应该是,在大力发展自身势力的同时,要充分地认清当前我国所处的国际地位,将着眼于外部环境的战略与着眼于内部发展的开放战略紧密地结合起来,形成统一的安全策略,只有当国家安全战略的选择适合时代的背景和挑战,国家的安全才会有保障。     

Election Administration in Crisis: An Early Look at Lessons from Bush versus Gore

The 2000 presidential election exposed serious election-administration deficiencies that affected the presidential election and the confidence of the American people in the way elections are administered. The ensuing controversies also exposed significant issues in judicial—administrative relations. This article examines the factors involved not only in Florida, but also in the nation, and discusses lessons for the future of election administration and for public administration generally.     

What Happens at the Polling Place: Using Administrative Data to Look Inside Elections

Tremendous attention has been paid to local election administration since the 2000 presidential election meltdown, yet policy makers still lack basic information about what happens at the polling place. One strategy to understand the interactions between citizens and street‐level election bureaucrats is to turn to administrative data. Using logs collected by polling place workers, the authors analyze more than 66,000 individual incidents recorded from four different statewide elections. Such data provide novel insights and guidance for the administration of elections. Findings indicate that task scale (in terms of the number of ballots) and complexity (in terms of absentee ballots) increase the incident rate. Managerial choices about how polling places are run also matter: the use of electronic voting machines and central count processing of ballots reduce the incident rate, while splitting poll worker shifts increases it. Operator capacity, measured in terms of experience, also reduces the number of incidents.     

从"四国同盟战略"看冷战后日本外交取向

2007年,日本首相安倍晋三提出了“四国同盟战略”,希望在亚太地区组建由美国、日本、澳大利亚和印度参加的战略机制,但它将中国排斥在外,表明日本企图借助“中国威胁论”,拉拢具有共同利害的国家围堵中国,并借机确立自己在东亚国际体系中的领导地位。     

票据伪造的民事法律后果

票据伪造的民事法律后果，是一个比较复杂的问题。它涉及到票据效力、票据权利的效力问题，也涉及到因对票据伪造效力的法律评价，以及所引起的民事权利、义务和责任问题，同时，还涉及到善意当事人之间的利益衡平问题。本文主要讨论票据行为伪造的民事法律后果，涉及有关票据权利与义务的问题和付款人付款行为和真实签章人的票据义务履行的法律后果问题。
