司法行政反腐败功能初探

引言:司法部两任部长先后提出,“司法行政机关既是政府的职能部门,又是政法机关,既是反腐败的重点部位,又是反腐败的重要力量①,”“司法行政的许多业务,包括监狱、法制宣传教育、律师管理、司法考试、司法协助、法律援助等,在惩治和预防腐败工作中,具有独特的地位和作用。②”     

The Muslim Middle East: Is There a Democratic Option?

American counterterrorism strategy defines as “moderate” or “mainstream” any Muslim who does not support the jihadi extremists, which sets the bar very low and does not consider the question of how widespread such support actually might be. Unfortunately, Al Qaeda is not the lunatic fringe of Sunni Islam—it is the fanatic core of Sunni Islam, and shares much of its ideology with other organized Islamic groups and, for that matter, much of the Muslim faithful. “Moderate” Islamist groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, are moderate only in relative terms, are mostly antidemocratic, and are more correctly considered nonviolent enemies of the U.S. This being the case, a democratic opening in the Muslim Middle East is all too likely to bring to power profoundly antidemocratic groups that are virulently and possibly violently hostile to the U.S. A possible alternative strategy is one stressing good government, with gradual democratization as societies decompress.     

A Smaller Military To Fight the War on Terror

The defense budget can be reduced and the U.S. military downsized because (1) the nation-state threat environment is markedly different than it was during the Cold War, and (2) a large military is not necessary to combat the terrorist threat. In fact, the Islamist terrorist threat is relatively undeterred by the U.S. military presence abroad, and U.S. forces abroad, particularly those deployed in Muslim countries, may do more to exacerbate than to diminish the threat. The arduous task of dismantling and degrading the terrorist network will largely be the task of unprecedented international intelligence and law enforcement cooperation, not the application of large-scale military force. To the extent the military is involved in the war on terror, it will be special forces in discrete operations against specific targets rather than large-scale military operations.     

Stumbling into the Future? The Indirect Approach and American Strategy

The United States has yet to reconcile its strategic culture to the realities of the post-9/11 era. In the absence of a consensus on grand strategy, America's military and civilian leadership is arguing that in a world of “persistent conflict,” America must exercise its power in increasingly indirect ways. This essay explores the current surge of interest in the so-called “indirect approach” and its possible relevance for the strategic environment of today and tomorrow. We briefly consider a strategic framework for an indirect approach, what true implementation would take, and the attendant risks of such a path. Pursuing a global indirect approach in the absence of such a framework could send America stumbling to the farthest corners of the globe only to harm her own strategic interests.     

关注经济、技术发展推进哲学理论创新

理论创新是推动社会进步的动力,哲学的进步也在于创新。21世纪,马克思主义哲学面对的是经济改革和技术飞速发展的挑战,所以其新的生长点就在于关注经济社会中的“经济”,关注技术时代中的“技术”,用与时俱进的新理论去指导不断变化发展的实践。只有这样,马克思主义哲学才能与时俱进,真正成为时代精神的精华。     

生态道德--可持续发展的道德观

本世纪40年代以来，人类从世纪环境破坏中认识到，任何一种巨大的力量，在它不受道德约束的条件下，非常容易被滥用，世界环境污染和生态破坏就属于这种情况。于是人们提出，由于人类拥有巨大力量，因而必须对大自然承担责任。正是在这种认识的基础上，产生了以生态道德为理论基础的生态伦理学。　　生态伦理学，西方学术界又称为环境伦理学，是由法国哲学家、医生、诺贝尔和平奖获得者A·施韦兹和英国环境学家A·莱奥波尔德创立的。他们主张，把道德行为的领域从人与人、人与社会领域扩大到人与自然之间，人与自然应作为伦理学的一项基本…     

电针"脾俞"对胃窦部溃疡大鼠胃肠平滑肌电活动的干预作用及其机制探讨

目的：观察电针“脾俞”对胃窦部溃疡大鼠胃肠平滑肌电活动的影响，并探讨其作用机制。方法：采用冰醋酸损伤法复制急性胃窦部溃疡动物模型；分别植入记录电极于肾上腺交感神经、胃窦部、十二指肠和大肠；用RM-86多导生理记录仪和SMUP计算机软件分析系统，同步记录胃窦部溃疡模型大鼠针刺“脾俞”前后胃肠平滑肌电活动和心率变异性(HRV)动态变化曲线、肾上腺交感神经放电情况。结果：电针刺激“脾俞”后，胃肠平滑肌电活动抑制，LF／HF比值上升至0.99，肾上腺交感神经放电活动频率上升。结论：低频疏密波刺激“脾俞”，可使急性胃窦部溃疡大鼠自主神经系统重新建立动态平衡，并与肾上腺内分泌活动共同参与针刺调整消化道运动功能。     

As the Dust Settles in Shangri-La: Alai's Tibet in the era of Sino-globalization

With the English translation of his novel Red Poppies published in 2000, the ethnic Tibetan author Alai has established a prominent presence outside the People's Republic, apart from the Shangri-La myth that has dominated the Western imagination of Tibet. This essay attempts to unpack the multitudes of meaning of the novel, situate it against a material history of opium in Eastern Tibet, and highlight the dilemma of a leading Tibetan author. Through further discussion of his essays unavailable in English, this essay aims at developing a cultural geography of Alai's intellectual travel, energized by a Tibetan warrior tradition in his homeland and yet detailed about contemporary social, cultural, and environmental changes. It paints a picture about a Tibet that is neither a paradise nor a human hell, alive in the moment to survive the creative destruction of Sino-globalization that began long before the People's Liberation Army marched into Lhasa.
