构筑东北区域经济圈的战略思考

中国目前区域经济发展的重心在东南沿海地区,随着改革开放和体制改革的深入以及水资源条件的改善,经济重心向北转移的趋势有可能成为现实,东北老工业基地的改造和振兴将构成中国区域经济增长的新格局。东北地区的地缘政治关系与经济战略地位突出,各类资源丰富,经济基础雄厚,发展潜力巨大,所以从历史上逐渐形成了全国重化工业、装备工业和农牧业生产基地,在全国战略格局中的地位与作用具有特殊的重要性。要实现东北老工业基地振兴、成为中国经济增长的又一极,就需要东北三省的整体联动,共同构筑东北区域经济圈。

Racial disproportionality in state prison admissions: Can regional variation be explained by differential arrest rates?

Recent studies have found that states in the Midwest incarcerate Blacks at a higher rate than those in the South. This article examines the extent to which this regional pattern of racial disproportionality in incarceration rates could be explained by controlling for race-specific arrest rates. The findings showed that the level of racial disproportionality in imprisonment decreased among all of the regions after controlling for race-specific arrest rates, but previously observed regional differences remained. These findings indicate that differences in the level of racial disproportionality in incarceration rates among regions were due to differential involvement in serious crimes by race resulting from a higher concentration of Blacks in urban areas relative to Whites in the Midwest.     

Public definitions and endorsement of the criminalization of elder abuse

A longitudinal cross sectional ten-year study was conducted measuring public attitudes toward the definition and criminalization of elder abuse. The study found that the public endorsed a fairly broad definition of elder abuse and that this definition of elder abuse was fairly stable over time. Subjects also strongly endorsed the creation of misdemeanor and felony statutes and strongly endorsed the use of prison to punish elder abusers. The subjects also believed that the criminalization of elder abuse would be effective in reducing elder abuse.     

Interest-Based Negotiations in a Transformed Labor–Management Setting

The authors introduce a group of essays that evolved from a March 2003 symposium on the path-breaking new partnership and use of interest-based negotiation (IBN) at Kaiser Permanente (KP), one of the largest integrated health care programs in the United States. They briefly trace the history of the IBN approach (both success stories and failures); the growth of this phenomenon; and its use in collective bargaining settings. The KP case, the focus of the symposium (which was jointly sponsored by MIT's Institute for Work and Employment Relations and Harvard's Program on Negotiation), is by far the largest instance of the use of IBN in U.S. labor relations history.     

应关注西方新保守主义思潮

内容提要鉴于当今西方思潮的主流是新保守主义(新自由主义的经济思想只是政治和文化保守主义的工具),在美国它不仅已经成为一种政策,成为社会思想观念的主流,而且得到了学理上的支撑;鉴于近代以来的西方思想史上并不是自由主义独步天下的历史,保守主义也占有一定的地位;鉴于保守主义比自由主义更直率、更坦白,其所言与所行更加一致,更有益于我们把握问题的真相,重视其思想,警惕其行动,借鉴其经验教训,吸取其合理的成分,在当今时代是必要的。

DIVORCE MEDIATION: Research and Reflections

Mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) grew rapidly in the last few decades as a result of high divorce rates, frequent conflicts between parting parents, the resulting administrative burden on courts, and especially concerns about damaging effects on children and postdivorce family relationships. This article focuses on our longitudinal research involving randomized trials of mediation and adversary settlement to support the conclusions that mediation can: (1) settle a large percentage of cases otherwise headed for court; (2) possibly speed settlement, save money, and increase compliance with agreements; (3) clearly increase party satisfaction; and (4) most importantly, lead to remarkably improved relationships between nonresidential parents and children, as well as between divorced parents—even twelve years after dispute settlement. The key "active ingredients" of mediation are likely to include: (1) the call for parental cooperation over the long run of co-parenting beyond the crisis of separation, (2) the opportunity to address underlying emotional issues (albeit briefly), (3) helping parents to establish a businesslike relationship, and (4) the avoidance of divisive negotiations at a critical time for family relationships. We call for more research on mediation and other forms of ADR, as well as a renewal of the excitement and optimism of the "first generation" of mediators, qualities that are "active ingredients" in any successful social or psychological intervention.
