政治文化与公民政治参与

政治文化的传统、现状与发展对公民的政治参与实践有很大的影响。我们要完善社会主义民主政治,扩大我国公民有序政治参与的发展,就必须充分认识和有效消解传统政治文化的负面影响,继承传统政治文化的有益部分,培育与发展现代参与型政治文化。     

Chinese Foreign Policy Making 2010–2011: Using the Cultural Approach to Explain Complexity

The rising economic strength of China over the past decade has aroused concern over the imbalance of global power. Research on Chinese foreign policy has again become of critical importance to the study of international relations and comparative politics. This article will begin with an overview of pertinent studies, categorizing them into cultural and non-cultural approaches, then it will re-examine the methodological problems associated with studying Chinese foreign policy making. Essentially, this article argues that that any research approach can generate methodological mistakes if undertaken without due care and attention. Rather, a multi-approach with emphasis on cultural factors will be a good model for future study. In other words, we have advocated an improved synergy of rational choice, structural, and cultural approaches. In the case study of Chinese foreign policy making between 2010 and 2011, the multi-approach provided a comprehensive picture of the Chinese thinking process behind seemingly irrational or illogical policy choices. It was the rising sense of frustration, the combination of over-confidence and self-doubt, which made foreign policy choices reflect the national interests at certain times and not at other times.     

自我控制的内在机制及提升策略

自我控制关系着人类幸福生活和社会的发展。双系统理论模型告诉我们,认知系统的激活和情绪系统的抑制对自我控制成功起着关键作用。其他相关研究表明,情绪调节与自我控制密切相关,积极情绪的情绪状态下,自我控制容易成功;消极或负面的情绪状态下,个体更容易失控。因此,要善于调节情绪。另外,进行自我肯定、自主支持等自我意识的调控策略,都可以提高自我控制力的提升。     

罪等划分及相关制度重构

在国外刑事立法中已有罪分轻重的规定,我国刑事法中也存在隐性的罪分轻重.但相互之问多有冲突.基于统一立法中罪等划分标准、遏制刑罚攀比以及为实现轻轻重重刑事政策的需要,我国应该在刑法中明确规定罪等划分条款.罪等划分的依据有两种:一是实质性按罪的社会危害性、人身危险性对罪等进行划分;二是基于法定刑做形式上的划分.在我国,以五年和十年作为标准将罪分为三等较合适.根据该划分标准,我国刑事实体法和程序法应做一系列调整.     

Social Construction of National Reality: Tibet and Taiwan

This paper uses the theory of social construction of reality deriving from the writings of Max Weber, Alfred Schutz, Thomas Luckmann and Peter Berger to explain the origin of national identity and hence the emergence of a nation. It argues that social construction of national reality originates from everyday life experience taken for granted during the process of socialization. Individuals make sense out of the external world. Experiences taken for granted become actor’s stock of knowledge. A common scheme of knowledge shared by the community serves to differentiate in-group (nationals) and out-group (foreigners). Collective consciousness thus defines national identity and hence a nation. Unless people (both in-group and out-group) interact with and learn from each other, different stocks of knowledge taken for granted will create political tension. This theory will be applied to understand the tensions in Tibet and along the Taiwan Strait. The paper further argues that Taiwan can hardly separate from mainland China in the future, while strong Tibetan consciousness continues to defy against powerful Chineseness, resulting in endless upheavals in the region.     

婚姻的经济学解析

法律学家认为,婚姻是由一定社会的法律制度所确认的一男一女互为配偶的结合,是以男女两性关系为基本内容并为一定社会所认可的一种社会关系。本文从经济学的视角,运用经济学的基本原理和分析方法,对婚姻的目的、婚姻资源稀缺性、婚姻的成本与收益、婚姻的效用、婚姻的风险进行了分析,并对当代单身群体的大量出现进行了经济学分析。     

网络民族主义运动与中国的公民外交——以2005年“反日入常签名”为例

公民外交是中国外交的新近发展的一项重要内容。2005年反日入常签名是中国公民,借由网络签名请愿从事公民外交的案例。该活动是由中国社会部门、中国经济部门与离散华人社群所组织的。它们通过跨国联系发起网络签名请愿而进行的网络民族主义运动。同时,该活动由于表达了广泛民意,不仅影响了中国政府,也影响了其他国际行为体,而成为中国公民外交的实例。     

制度化与有效性的平衡——领导小组与政府部门协调机制研究

探寻制度化且行之有效的政府部门协调机制对于提高当下中国国家治理能力至关重要。普遍存在于各级政府机构的领导小组因其独特的组织和权力结构而成为中国政治运行的重要节点,能够高效地集中行政资源,处理跨部门、跨区域的公共事务。随着现代国家的理性化成长,领导小组也呈现出制度化趋势,为建构适合中国国情、制度化与有效性俱强的政府部门协调机制提供了契机。     

CBCT技术研究进展及其在牙龄推断中的应用

牙齿是人体最坚硬的器官,不易因外界理化因素的变化而降解、变形,利用牙齿推断年龄已广泛应用于法医学。通过牙齿影像推断年龄是过去使用最普遍的方法之一,而锥形束计算机体层摄影术(cone beam computed tomography,CBCT)技术的出现为牙齿三维影像的获取提供了新途径,具有照射剂量低、扫描时间短、成像精度高及费用低等优点。本文综述了CBCT技术的研究进展及其在牙龄推断中的应用。     

Examining the relationship between school suspensions/expulsions and felonies

This paper examines the suspensions and expulsions of students. Using individual student pupil (rather than incident) data, this research examines whether these rates are driven by a few high-volume offenders and whether high-volume offenders become felons. This study uses the number of students at three levels of violations: 0 offenses, 1–3 offenses, and four or more offenses. The authors also examined the relationship between the three groups of violators and committing a felony as a juvenile. The number of offenses per student ranged from 0 to 31. Findings indicated that those with 0 school infractions had no felonies, while the other two groups of violators 1–3 and four or more had a similar numbers of felonies. Implications for developmental models of delinquency are discussed.
