End of an Era? Anti‐Americanism in the Australian Labor Party

Anti‐Americanism, sometimes called the “last acceptable prejudice”, is a common phenomenon in the modern era. This paper explores the ebb and flow of anti‐Americanism in the Australian Labor Party in the post‐Second World War period and argues that while at times it was reasonable or proportionate, at others such criticism became unreasonable, disproportionate and therefore prejudicial. When this occurs the Australia‐US alliance can become strained, the Australian electorate tends to become sceptical of the ALP's credentials on national security and the party's electoral prospects also tend to suffer. Nevertheless, following the brief leadership of the stridently anti‐American Mark Latham, such sentiment in the ALP has been widely discredited and is unlikely to emerge again in its prejudicial form for some time, marking the end of an era.

美国安全应急体制的改革与启示

作为目前世界上安全应急体制发展最为成熟的国家,美国安全应急体制深受各国政府关注和学者重视。以历史唯物观所强调的社会有机体中生产力、生产关系和上层建筑三者之间的相互联系为依据,为美国安全应急体制设立安全应急环境、安全应急理念和安全应急机制三种变量,并以这三种变量之间的相互作用来分析美国安全应急体制改革历程的内在动力和发展趋势,可以发现,美国安全应急体制是在应对核战争所代表的传统安全威胁、自然灾害所代表的民生安全威胁以及恐怖主义攻击所代表的非传统安全威胁的过程中建立和形成的,这一体制的逐步完善也是其中所涉及的环境、理念和机制等三种变量之间相互作用和影响的结果。其改革发展历程的经验表明,美国安全应急体制能够适应安全环境变化而及时调整安全应急理念,并通过制定相关法律法规和完善组织机构来健全安全应急机制,因而具有积极的借鉴作用。但这一体制的发展往往过度依赖客观环境的推动,也会造成应急管理在主观上的防范疏漏,其中失败的教训也应当加以注意。     

Haftung bei Vereitelung der “ohne Gentechnik”-Kennzeichnung: ein legislatorischer Unfall

Zusammenfassung  Die Novellierung des Gentechnikrechts von April/Mai 2008 l?sst die zivilrechtliche Haftungsnorm des § 36a GenTG unberührt. Mittelbar wird die Haftungslage durch eine Modifizierung der ?ffentlichrechtlichen Vorschriften zur “ohne Gentechnik”-Kennzeichnung jedoch drastisch versch?rft. Dies weckt europa- und verfassungsrechtliche Bedenken und wirft die Frage auf, ob diese Konsequenz vom Gesetzgeber wirklich beabsichtigt war. Der Beitrag untersucht die neue “ohne Gentechnik”-Kennzeichnung, arbeitet ihre haftungsrechtlichen Folgen heraus und zeigt die europa- und verfassungsrechtlichen Bedenken des eklatant versch?rften Haftungsumfangs auf.     

Infighting and Ideology: How Conflict Informs the Local Culture of the Chicago Dyke March

Although the study of local cultures has become established in American sociology, it often ignores the contested nature of how culture emerges and is negotiated within the context of small groups. To this end, we address the concept of infighting, a subtype of conflict, as it operates within a small group framework. Building on an ethnographic study of the Chicago Dyke March, we demonstrate that infighting highlights competing ideologies that may remain implicit in the absence of such conflict. Infighting treats divergent meaning systems as part of local contention between rival cliques and power centers. These ideological battles both reflect pre-existing differences between subgroups and serve to make explicit and public such differences, both in their background characteristics and in their interests. In the process infighting directs attention away from shared concerns and group building to questions of strategy, transforming the small group into an arena of ideological production and factional rivalry. Infighting recasts a group from a space of consensus to a contested political arena. We elaborate four analytic processes through which infighting connects to ideology and small group culture: infighting emphasizes the multivocality of meaning, cultural heterogeneity, an equilibrium of inclusion and group boundaries, and planning in light of ideologies of power.     

环境瑕疵担保责任论纲——作为EPR政策落实手段的视角

瑕疵担保责任适用范围的渐趋拓展为其适用于环境领域提供了可能。我国的环境问题日益凸显,而相应的一些环境政策却无法得以具体落实,其中的EPR政策即为明证。基于此,文章重点对作为EPR政策私法落实手段的环境瑕疵担保责任进行了理论上的建构,明确了环境瑕疵担保责任与侵权法的关系,并依次从环境瑕疵担保责任的权利义务主体、客体、性质、内容、实现等方面加以详细分析。
