Why can't development be managed more like a funeral? Challenging participatory practices

The adoption of techniques to elicit community participation in development practice is an important step forward. The question remains whether this is sufficient for development outcomes that accord with the aspirations of ‘participants’. Community perceptions are somewhat different, as our own conclusions demonstrate. We have developed a ‘methodology of inclusiveness’, based on community institutions which embed collective social action in everyday life. We use the analogy of funerals as collective action in which activities are planned, roles are demarcated, responsibilities are assigned, and desired outcomes are realised. We ask the question: why can't development be managed more like a funeral?

东亚现代化的“特殊”与“一般”

作为"后发外生型"现代化的典型代表,东亚社会现代化存在着复杂的宏观互动结构。如果我们将东亚现代化研究史上的"日本特殊论"和"亚洲停滞论"置于"传统—现代"的背景之下展开分析,就会发现,无论是"亚洲停滞论",还是所谓日本"特殊论",实际上是以欧美现代社会为基准加以展开的,其理论系谱从属于西方,难以洞悉东亚现代化的深层逻辑。鉴此,我们应注意揭示东亚现代化进程中由激进的"压缩式发展"向"内发式发展"转变的共同历程,超越"西方中心论"和"发展主义"的制约,将东亚的社会发展理论植根于本土,揭示东亚现代化进程中"特殊"与"一般"的复杂互动关系。

Cultural Cognition and Public Policy: The Case of Outpatient Commitment Laws

What explains controversy over outpatient commitment laws (OCLs), which authorize courts to order persons with mental illness to accept outpatient treatment? We hypothesized that attitudes toward OCLs reflect “cultural cognition” (DiMaggio, P. Annl Rev Sociol 23:263–287, 1997), which motivates individuals to conform their beliefs about policy-relevant facts to their cultural values. In a study involving a diverse sample of Americans (N = 1,496), we found that individuals who are hierarchical and communitarian tend to support OCLs, while those who are egalitarian and individualistic tend to oppose them. These relationships, moreover, fit the cultural cognition hypothesis: that is, rather than directly influencing OCL support, cultural values, mediated by affect, shaped individuals’ perceptions of how effectively OCLs promote public health and safety. We discuss the implications for informed public deliberation over OCLs.     

国有企业社会责任特殊性的法学心133考

国有企业社会责任与一般企业社会责任有着根本区别,是目前推进我国企业社会责任的关键问题.国有企业由于其本身"公益性"与"营利性"并存的性质,决定了其社会责任的内涵具有特殊性.从法律角度来看,应该通过产权制度明晰化、社会责任内涵法制化、评价体系科学化、监督主体独立化和多元化等多种途径来确保国有企业社会责任的有效实现.     

受贿罪利益要件的认定

受贿犯罪是目前最为严重的腐败犯罪之一。不仅扰乱了社会公平和市场经济的正常秩序,而且严重损害了国家工作人员的职务廉洁性和公众对国家机关的信赖程度。其中受贿罪利益要件问题,一直是刑法理论界和司法实务界的热点问题。在分析利益要件时,试通过用短缩的二行为犯理论和"为他人谋取利益"在实践中的功用来解析"为他人谋取利益"要件作为受贿罪的主观要件的观点。
