The logic of ‘Policy’ and successful policies

Developed on the premise that how we conceive of ‘policy’ and ‘successful policy’ guides policy sciences' research and evaluation, this paper responds to the conceptual questions of “what is a policy?” and “when is a policy successful?” Formal or logical conditions are established to distinguish ‘policy’ from related concepts. The notion ‘relevant public’ is introduced to distinguish public policies from private policies and to identify fairly-declared policies. Further, conditions are developed that can be used as logical tests for three types of policy success: implementation success, instrumental success and success in normative justification.     

Who's the Boss? Patterns of Perceived Control in Adolescents' Friendships

This study examined the nature and correlates of different patterns of perceived control in adolescents' relationships with their best friends. Participants included firstborn adolescents (M = 14.94 years), their younger siblings (M = 12.44 years) and both their mothers and fathers in 163 families as well as a best friend of each adolescent (M = 15 years). Data were collected from family members during home visits regarding adolescents' family relationships, friendships, and psychosocial adjustment; time use data were gathered during a series of 7 nightly phone interviews. Information was obtained from best friends during a brief phone interview. We developed a typology of 3 different patterns of perceived friendship control based on the combination of adolescents' and their best friends' ratings of relational control. Patterns of control in adolescents' friendships were associated with the distribution of control in both parents' marriages and adolescents' sibling relationships. Further analyses, designed to test developmental predictions, revealed connections between friendship control and other qualities of adolescents' friendships (i.e., intimacy, conflict, perspective-taking).

蒋介石儒化三民主义之评析

独揽孙中山三民主义解释权之后 ,蒋介石获得了统摄全党思想的合法性 ,为走上个人独裁道路 ,从理念上打开了一扇大门。蒋介石对三民主义解释的实质 ,是儒化三民主义。他将孙中山描述为中国儒家伦理道德的集大成者 ,将儒家伦理道德与三民主义融为一体 ,使之成为孙中山三民主义的“精髓” ,进而在全国范围掀起思想文化上的尊孔复古。在这一过程中 ,蒋介石还充分利用了戴季陶主义。随着三民主义被儒化 ,其原有的民族民主革命与现代化之精神也逐渐消解与湮没。
