Pedagogues,Periodicals, and Paranoia

Over the past year, several published volumes have argued that American politics is careening out of control, toward a slippery slope of twenty-first century theocracy. Most of these books present tendentious interpretations of contemporary politics as matter-of-fact analysis. The reader is assumed to hold the same interpretive bias and warned of the dangers of a new and powerful American “fundamentalism.” The current article explores a historical parallel to today’s trend. Nearly a century ago, the Progressive Education movement sought to undermine the pedagogical dominance of traditional, literature-based education, preferring a more socially-conscious curriculum. The striking similarities between John Dewey’s anti-traditional approach and the present-day anti-theocracy faction are multitude—and worth our consideration. The seeds of Progressive Education are now producing weeds of anti-religious sentiment across America’s political landscape—a cultural phenomena that is constricting the growth of a much needed civil discourse.

行政规划若干问题思考

作为一种新兴的行政管理方式,行政规划是一个综合性的行为体系,存在着抽象性和具体性、内部性和外部性及法律性和事实性等多种双重法律属性;行政规划行为因其性质的复杂性,无法给予其统一定性和法律规制;规划裁量的存在及其内部界限的界定,如规划裁量的滥用、逾越和怠惰等因素,增加了法律对行政规划监控的难度。而且,规划裁量性导致了司法控制强度的降低,因为司法权必须尊重行政规划权的专业判断和属于规划裁量范围的决定应从立法、行政、司法和社会多方面展开对行政规划的法治化思考。

新形势下盗窃犯罪若干问题探究

《刑法修正案（八）》增加了盗窃罪的行为方式,对该罪的定罪量刑进行了调整,包括细化追诉标准、认定犯罪停止形态等。文章分析了入户盗窃、扒窃、携带凶器盗窃的认定与适用,认为将“入户盗窃”和“扒窃”作为行为犯对待更符合立法原意和宗旨,同时这种新增的犯罪未遂形态与犯罪理论的停止形态也并不矛盾。     

20世纪20年代初安源工人代表会议制度的历史探索及经验启示

20世纪20年代初,中国共产党领导安源工人在革命实践中进行了各方面的建设,特别是模仿苏维埃制度模式,建立了十代表、百代表、总代表三级建构的工人代表会议制度,使安源工人在党早期领导革命斗争的局部范围内,实现了工人“做人”的资格和“作主”的地位,为安源工运在革命低潮中“硕果仅存”提供了政治保障。中共早期在安源工运时期建立的工人代表会议制度,为党探索人民代表大会制度提供了重要经验,对新时代坚持和完善人民代表大会制度具有深刻的启示。     

The transition from traditional to postpositivist policy analysis: A role for Q‐methodology

This paper suggests that a gap exists between policy theorists who are formulating postpositivist models of analysis and the beliefs of practitioners whose labor is guided by the traditional hand of positivism. The tension between postpositivist theory and traditional practice has created a dialectic that contributes to both, but the postpositivist theory is not likely, for reasons discussed in the paper, to spark a revolution in practice. The paper maintains that members of the discipline's intellectual infrastructure can assist the evolution to a policy analysis paradigm that includes elements of postpositivism by introducing incremental changes in practice that reinforce it. For this purpose, one important incremental change is the introduction of Q‐methodology as a common tool for policy analysis. The use of Q‐methodology—a method for the study of subjectivity—would help subvert the assumptions of dominant objectivism that underlie the R‐methods typically learned and used by traditional analysts and could influence analysts to adopt a postpositivist perspective of their work. © 1999 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.     

Optimal management of fund based on the vitae index

The vitae index is proposed. Based on the concept model of vitae system, the fund invested into a disaster affected region is divided into three parts： Circumstance factor, economy factor and community factor. By using AHP （analytical hierarchy process）, the relative weights of those three parts in vitae system are given. When the region is suffering from multiple low-frequency and high-impact disasters, the fund should be optimally managed to ensure the vitae index is larger than the critical value to achieve the region harmony.

英美法系的独立董事制度和大陆法系的监事会制度各有利弊,我国公司立法不宜强制规定公司必须采取哪种制度,而应当允许公司自主选择独立董事制度或者监事会制度。
