国际关系的心理分析方法

国际关系理论的发展之路一直是融各学科之所长,避本学科之所短的历程,众多学科在该领域内都找到了一席之地。在当今时代,当主流国际关系理论日益走向体系层次的建构时,微观国际心理分析的解释力有多大,国际关系学与心理学是如何结合的,针对这些问题,本文尝试进行初步分析,并寻求出两个学科的结合点和可供进一步探讨的线索,进而期待从理论和实践上对国际关系理论分析的方法进行丰富和延展。

转型时期的国家自主性及其建构:基于利益分析的视角

国家自主性是指国家作为社会公共利益的代表,应当超越于社会各种特殊利益的要求,为实现社会公共利益而自主行动。在当前我国不同群体间的利益分化与冲突日益加剧的背景下,建设一个具有超越性和自主性的政府,是形成和维系和谐的社会秩序的重要基础。但现实政治生活中利益关系的失衡,造成了国家自主性的双重困境,即国家自主性的不足和国家自主性的无限增长,损害了社会公正的价值取向。为达致社会各群体间的利益均衡状态,我们应着力构建宪政框架下有限合理的国家自主性,实现转型社会的利益协调与整合。     

中美亚太战略竞争格局的形成、走势及管控

当前,在亚太特别是东亚和西太平洋地区,中美两国形成的竞争与合作并存且以竞争一面呈上升趋势的战略两强格局日渐明朗化。在该格局形成的过程中,中美两国综合实力对比的变化以及由此带来的核心利益调整属于结构性动因;两国国内政治因素以及中美之外第三方因素的复杂影响,进一步加速该格局的形成过程,构成了非结构性动因。伴随着中国综合国力急速腾升与美国国家实力相对衰落的结构性背景,中美亚太战略竞争关系中的缓和空间将进一步压缩,而其竞争空间将在经济、安全、政治、军事等领域全面展开。推动中美竞争机制呈现良性互动而非恶性循环,美国需放弃固守的霸权思维,适度分享责任与权力;中国也需给予更多耐心与定力。

The Education Gap of China’s Migrant Children and Rural Counterparts

Rural residents in China today face at least two key decisions: a) where to live and work; and b) where to send their children to school. In this paper we study the second decision: should a rural parent send their child to a public rural school or have him or her attend a private migrant school in the city. While there is an existing literature on the impact of this decision on student academic performance, one of the main shortcomings of current studies is that the data that are used to analyse this issue are not fully comparable. To fill the gap, we collected data on the educational performance of both migrant students who were born in and come from specific source communities (prefecture) in rural China and students who are in rural public schools in the same source communities. Specifically, the dataset facilitates our effort to measure and identity the academic gap between the students in private migrant schools in Shanghai and Suzhou and those in the public rural schools in Anhui. We also seek to identify different sources of the gap, including selection effects and observable school quality effects. According to the results of the analysis, there is a large gap. Students in public rural schools outperform students in private migrant schools by more than one standard deviation (SD). We found that selection effects only account for a small part of this gap. Both school facility effects and teacher effects explain the achievement gap of the students from the two types of schools, although these effects occur in opposite directions.     

Explaining incumbent re-election in authoritarian elections: evidence from a Chinese county

Despite the burgeoning comparative literature on authoritarian elections, less is known about the dynamics of competition in authoritarian subnational elections where opposition is not allowed to organize into parties. Local elections without partisan competition in single-party authoritarian regimes provide considerable advantages to the incumbents and may well turn the incumbent advantage common in liberal democracies into incumbent dominance. What economic factors can break incumbent dominance in such competition without parties? With quantitative and qualitative evidence from grassroots elections in China, this article illustrates that economic growth and industrial economic structure offering more economic autonomy help to break incumbent dominance and increase the prospects of successful challenge to incumbency by non-party outsiders. The examination of the findings in a broad context in China and against the backdrop of local democratization in the developing world suggests that though we may observe successful challenge to incumbency, liberalization of the political system requires not only competition, but also a relatively autonomous economy to sustain liberalization prospects. The findings contribute to the literature on electoral authoritarianism, subnational democratization and China’s grassroots elections.     

Reproducibility of Artificial Cut on Heel Area of Rubber Outsole

Randomly acquired characteristics (RAC) are seldom used for exclusion in footwear examinations because they can disappear owing to wear. To help examiners explain discrepancies in RAC, this study investigated the reproducibility of cuts. One cut was made on the heel area of each shoe outsole and then measured. Changes in cuts were statistically evaluated, correlations between their variations and the weight/height of the subject were assessed, and the Support Vector Machine was used for the first time to study their discrimination probability. Most cuts became larger at first and then became smaller. The solidities of most cuts increased after 21 days, and the variation in the cut and the subject's weight/height were negatively correlated. Although the discrimination probability declined as the cut aged, 77% of the same-source and 96.88% of the different-source cuts could be identified correctly after 6 months, indicating that cuts on the heel area are relatively reliable.
