The Relationship Between Religious and Spiritual Factors and the Perpetration of Intimate Personal Violence

Despite some understanding of general correlates and possible antecedents to intimate partner violence (IPV) within the Christian community, the impact of religious and spiritual factors tends to be confounded by other factors and is often misjudged. Archival data from Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) were used to examine the impact of nine religious and spiritual factors on the probability of IPV perpetration by males, aged 18 to 26, who nominally classified themselves as Catholic, Protestant, or Christian. Logistic regression results indicated that IPV perpetration could not be adequately predicted from the religious and spiritual factors. Given the geographic breadth and the size of the Add Health sample, no finding of a predictive model for Christian male-perpetrated IPV challenges the paradigm that religious and spiritual factors should be overtly addressed in faith-based batterers’ programs targeting young adult males.     

论印度尼西亚的新自由主义经济政策及前景

一在经济全球化的带动下和西方国家的推销下,许多发展中国家都接纳了新自由主义的经济政策,尤其是市场化、自由化和私有化。典型的例子是前东欧国家、拉美国家和东南亚各国。综观实行新自由主义政策的发展中国家,相对成功者只有捷克、韩国、毛里求斯等少数国家(自然也存在着隐患,比如说污染问题),大部分国家都凸现出不同程度的政治、社会、经济危机,包括失业、两极分化、城市化问题等。其中俄罗斯、拉美地区、东南亚等实行新自由主义经济政策的地区,受到影响比较大。印度尼西亚是东南亚地区幅员最辽阔、人口最多的国家。在印尼国内经济政策…     

Anticorruption agencies: expressive,constructivist and strategic uses

This article explores the reasons for the introduction of anticorruption agencies of a specific type in Eastern Europe. It is argued that one of the important functions of these agencies—which are stronger on information gathering, coordination and strategy rather than on investigation of concrete cases—is to give to the government some leverage over the anticorruption discourse. Presenting the anticorruption commissions and agencies as (discourse-controlling) instruments gives an answer to the troubling question why governing parties are at all interested in the introduction of such bodies. Apart from instrumentalization in political discourse, anticorruption bodies in Eastern Europe have had other effects as well. As shown in the Baltic case, institutional engineering provides for a brief window of opportunity during which political forces committed to integrity could gain the upper hand. The problem in Eastern Europe, however, is not the lack of such windows of opportunities—it is more the lack of really committed political forces capable of continuous and consistent anticorruption effort.
