Designing,Implementing, and Evaluating a Media Campaign Illustrating the Bystander Role

SUMMARY

The present article discusses convents as homes. Resulting from the study of a Gregorian source presently housed at DePaul University's Richardson library, this article probes the complexities and restrictions of convent life in 17th century Spain. The Sanctoral de Visperas (1653) functions as a backdrop for a consideration of how singing chant and attendant rituals enriched the lives of nuns. Also included are references to nuns from this period who were outstanding musicians and poets and whose works have recently received enthusiastic attention.     

宗教抱负与两性平权——甘南夏河藏传佛教尼僧宗教抱负的人类学调查

随着女性信教人数的增长,女性与宗教的关系越来越受到学界及社会的重视。据对甘南夏河藏传佛教尼僧的调查,70%左右的尼僧是出于对宗教的热爱和追求,这与从前多数尼僧为了逃避现实和生活所迫而出家相比有了巨大的改变,这一变迁的背后是女性在宗教世界与男性平权诉求的一种反映,也是女性地位与藏族社会结构变迁的一种互动。随着社会的发展,基于理性选择而出家的女性在尼僧中所占的比例将会越来越大,而尼僧们的宗教抱负也会越来越高,宗教社会中的两性平权现状将会得到改善。

China and the Asian Economies: mutual acceptance,economic interaction and interactive dynamics

The objective of this article is to explore the economic relationship between China and the surrounding dynamic Asian economies. It delves into China's influence over the Asian economies and whether this relationship has evolved in a market- and institution-led symbiotic manner. The three principal channels of regional integration analyzed in this article are trade, FDI and vertically integrated production networks. Another issue that this article explores is the so-called China ‘threat’ or ‘fear’ in Asia. The China threat implied that China was crowding out exports from the other Asian economies in the world market place. Also, as China became the most attractive FDI destination among developing countries, it was understood that China was receiving FDI at the expense of the Asian economies. These concerns were examined by several empirical studies and the inference was that they were exaggerated. The article concludes that China methodically expanded and deepened its economic ties with its regional neighbors. At the present juncture, China's integration with the surrounding Asian nations is deep. Both China and its dynamic Asian neighbors have benefited from this synergy.

Policy Implementation in Contemporary China: the making of converted schools

Taking converted schools at the level of basic education in Shanghai as an example, this article explores the structure of policy implementation in contemporary China. Based on 65 interviews and a two-conception analytical framework, the article proposes the model of structural fracturation. The model argues that the discrepancy between policy content and policy outcome is determined by structural factors that no single actor could manipulate. The pyramid of Chinese politics is a loose construction, with horizontal and vertical fracturations between different layers. The model highlights the fact that governments below the provincial level are remote from and beyond the control of the state and the provinces. They deserve more attention than they have received.

Political Elite Coalition and Local Administrative Reform in China—a case study of Shunde under Wang Yang

This article examines the importance of political elite coalitions at local levels to create institutional reform in contemporary China. By exploring Shunde’s administrative reforms under Wang Yang, Guangdong’s provincial Party secretary from 2008 to 2012, this article identifies a provincial–grassroots coalition as the essential impetus to local reforms. It argues that formation of political elite coalitions, built upon mutual trust through reciprocal interactions, is crucial for the success of reform. Within the coalition, the strong reformist provincial leader provides his leadership by becoming intensively involved in the reform process, while active grassroots cadres serve as designers and executors of reform plans. By means of a comparison between the scenarios of active grassroots cadres without Wang and Wang with less enthusiastic grassroots cadres, the article concludes that this political elite coalition is by nature fragile; if either side is not present, the coalition will collapse, resulting in either the failure of reform or a deviation of existing reforms to a less fruitful pattern.     

对刑事证据立法的相关思考

证据制度历来被比作刑事诉讼的脊梁,是诉讼活动的基础、是全部司法活动的核心和灵魂。但由于立法的不完善,导致了我国在司法实践中证据制度缺乏可操作性。证据法学不仅是一门技术性很强的学科,而且对保障人权也至关重要。因此,对我国证据制度改革问题进行认真探索研究,对完善证据立法和指导司法实践,具有深刻的现实意义。文章从介绍证据立法的紧迫性和必要性入手,对完善证据立法的意义、构建模式、现行立法现状及存在的主要问题进行了系统的分析,并在参考借鉴国外相关成熟做法的基础上,结合我国的实际国情,提出相应的立法建议。

Hard Rules and Soft Constraints: regulating conflict of interest in China

The initial paragraphs of this article outline the broad themes of this special section, drawing attention to changing perceptions and definitions of corruption and to corruption prevention practices in Greater China. The remainder of the article focuses on a particular theme: the relationship between conflicts of interest and corruption in both theoretical terms and in its application in mainland China. Conflicts of interest are conceptualized as the incompatibility between the public interest associated with official duties and interests derived from the private domain. Such conflicts do not always necessarily lead to corruption and may be distinguished from it. By examining the way in which they are regulated in China, we argue that although an intricate web of rules has been established, regulations alone cannot guarantee ethically sound behaviour if there is no supportive value framework of like-minded civil servants. Rules require interpretation and if this discretion means that civil servants choose to follow an administrative culture and personal values that conflict with the regulations, they will have little effect. Hard rules may mean soft constraints.
