与信仰同行——法国式自由考

法国大革命使自由在法国成为一种信仰。信仰式自由的发展动力来自于信仰和现实之间的张力：一方面要执着地捍卫信仰,同时还需要现实对其进行“拗救”。法国式自由的发展正是在信仰的主题下,从以上两个维度展开。前者以卢梭、涂尔干和萨特为代表,后者以孟德斯鸠、贡斯当和阿隆为代表。

Chinese American Adolescents’ Perceptions of the Language Brokering Experience as a Sense of Burden and Sense of Efficacy

Children of immigrants who do translations and who interpret for others using their heritage language and English are known as language brokers. Although prior research suggests that children of immigrants’ perceptions of the language brokering experience vary greatly—from feeling a sense of efficacy to feeling a sense of burden—what remains unanswered in the literature is identification of the antecedents and processes that help to explain the varying psychological experience of language brokers. Using data from a two-wave prospective longitudinal study of 256 Chinese American adolescents, the present study tested potential mechanisms that may be responsible for adolescents’ perceptions of the language brokering experience as a sense or burden or sense of efficacy. The results demonstrate that adolescents’ Chinese orientation sets in motion a family process that is linked to variations in the perceptions of adolescents’ language brokering experience. Adolescents who are more Chinese oriented have a stronger sense of familial obligation, and these adolescents are more likely to perceive that they matter to their parents. Adolescents’ perceived sense of mattering to parents, in turn, is associated positively with a sense efficacy, and negatively with a sense of burden as language brokers. Those adolescents who are less Chinese oriented have a weaker sense of familial obligation, and these adolescents are more likely to feel a sense of alienation from their parents. Adolescents’ sense of perceived alienation from parents, in turn, is associated with a sense of burden as language brokers. Implications for developing interventions for children who act as language brokers for their parents are discussed.

建筑行业农民工劳动关系确认的理论瓶颈与突破——以非标准劳动关系理论为出路

司法实践对于建筑行业农民工劳动关系确认的理论瓶颈在于我国当前的标准劳动关系模式与建筑行业农民工的用工实际不符。以非标准劳动关系理论为突破口多元化劳动关系认定模式是解决上述瓶颈的出路。在非标准劳动关系理论下,建筑行业农民工劳动关系确认的标准简化为业务从属标准,在具体判断上需要确立三项基本原则:中间自然人不阻碍劳动关系原则;劳动关系不突破民事合同关系原则;基于法律技术考量的连带责任原则;同时,建筑行业农民工劳动关系体系应着重确立三种特殊规则:口头劳动合同+不实否认劳动关系的双倍工资支付规则;灵活工时制+法定、行业工资基准规则;劳动者自由离职+用人单位结清待遇无因解除规则。     

Does China’s middle class prefer (liberal) democracy?

Many surveys show that China’s political regime, under the Chinese Communist Party’s authoritarian rules, enjoys a high level of public support. However, it is still uncertain whether China’s emerging middle class will become the “agent of democratization” as suggested by modernization theory. Using the data of Asian Barometer Survey conducted in China in 2011, this article demonstrates that the relationship between class identity and preference for liberal democracy in China may be inverted U-shaped. The Chinese middle class shows a higher preference to features of liberal democratic regimes than its counterparts of the lower- and upper-class. Members of the Chinese middle class also tend to regard democracy as the best form of government. Thus, the middle class has the potential to initiate democratization in China if the Chinese government fails to keep satisfying the middle class’ quest for economic well-being and protection of property rights.

论法治政府下行政立法听证制度的构想

法治政府是法治国家的必然要求。要建设法治政府,需要规范行政立法听证行为,我国《立法法》虽然对行政立法听证制度有明文规定,但条文过于简单,不具有操作性。因此,我国行政立法听证的范围、听证的物质保障、听证的主持人制度、参与人制度、笔录效力制度、运行程序制度都有进一步探讨的必要。     

中国基础研究投入的协调机制——以医学领域重大原始创新为例的探讨

基础研究重大原始创新需要科研人员持续的艰苦研究才能取得,而持续稳定的资金支持是科研人员开展持续研究的前提条件.因此建立合适的基础研究资助模式是国家能够不断取得原始创新的重要保证,对国家长期发展战略的实施具有更为重要的意义.以2000年-2006年基础医学领域国家自然科学奖获奖项目为样本,分析了当前我国基础研究资助模式对重大原始创新产生的影响.结论是:我国基础研究资助两大版块,"科学基金体系"和"国家科学计划"之间的协调在基础医学领域内重大原始创新的取得过程中发挥了一定的作用,即国家自然科学基金打基础,"973""863"出成果.但两个资助体系内部却存在一定的问题,主要表现为科学基金体系内各种基金尚存在较严重的门户之见,以及"国家科学计划"板块在我国基础研究投入中所占比例过高.     

宪政经济学的兴起、建构及其意义

作为研究规则间选择与规则下选择的经济学,宪政经济学源于新政治经济学的复兴以及对福利经济学和凯恩斯主义的反思.宪政经济学的实现手段从元规则模型到方法体系的建构.为治理政府失灵和政府悖论架起了一条"元规则"的再造之路.尽管在当前的政府治理实践中人们对完政经济学存在争议,但它创新了经济学的研究方法,拓宽了经济学的研究视角,丰富了经济学的研究主题,为各国解决政府问题提供了启示.
