IMPLICATIONS OF THE DIVORCE MEDIATION ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT FOR MEDIATION PRACTICE

The development of the Divorce Mediation Assessment Instrument (DMAI), based on six dimensions—commitment, social-psychological factors, values, understanding, skills, and conflict—was in response to the need to systematically assess clients' readiness for divorce mediation and to inform and guide intervention. Tests on DMAI showed high reliability, and reasonable instrument validity. The implication of DMAI for mediation practice is discussed in terms of the various outputs of DMAI: DMAI score, subscale score, and item score. Issues in assessment raised included highlighting strengths, working on agreements, and preventive intervention. DMAI's implication for theory building and research is also discussed. Careful assessment is needed for appropriate use of mediation, and the DMAI provides a model of assessment which has clinical, empirical, and theoretical validity.

The politics of U.S. most-favored-nation treatment to China: The cases of 1979 and 1990

This article seeks to analyze U.S. interests in granting China the most-favored-nation status in 1979 and the present situation regarding the extension of such status. It argues that while the change and continuity in U.S.-China policy interests and objectives may still guide U.S. decision makers, what happened in Beijing last spring has given rise to a formidable congressional coalition among liberals, conservatives, and protectionists in opposing MFN treatment to China. The final outcome will depend largely on the degree of presidential readiness to defend his China policy and on whether the president is able to prevent the congressional overriding of the presidential veto.     

中国高僧与越南“少林寺”

从2003年9月到2004年8月,笔者有机会在越南学习一年.其间,为了撰写有关越南寺庙问题的博士论文,笔者对越南50多个寺庙进行了田野考察.考察的重点是寺庙的建筑结构、汉字匾联、汉字碑刻、佛像布局等,希冀从中窥探中越宗教文化交流的踪迹及特点.北宁省的"笔塔寺"是笔者重点考察的寺庙之一,该寺还有一个鲜为人知的别名,叫"少林寺".历史上中国两位高僧曾主持该寺,被奉为该寺的第一、二代祖师.

社会转型期的农村社会保障问题研究

中国社会正处于新的转型时期,其中的一个重要特征就是农村经济增长方式的变革和农民从业状态的分化.现有的农村社会保障制度有多种,但存在着严重缺陷.因而农民的社会保障问题变得更为复杂,但同时也为多渠道解决农民的社会保障问题提供了条件.当前建立和完善农村社会保障制度的要点是要进行"四个统筹",即法律统筹、资金统筹、资源统筹和制度统筹.
