"厌讼"思想考辨——兼论对当今乡村纠纷解决的现实意义

古代的厌讼思想,多源于制度层面的欠缺.司法行政合一而导致审判效率低下.因此,厌讼思想大多存在于各代统治阶层,普通民众不仅不厌讼,反而有健讼的倾向.正确认识厌讼的本质及其根源,对今天农村法制建设具有重要的借鉴意义.建立和谐社会要求各级审判机关引导民众正确认识并利用诉讼,既不能以纠缠细故为刁顽.也不宜一味鼓励诉讼,同时完善非讼方式解决纠纷的功能.

城市生活垃圾计量系统引入条码技术的设想

条形码技术是现代物流管理的基石,因其成本低廉、简单便捷,已经给现代社会千万种商品的流通带来了福音.那么,它能否应用于成分相同而来源于千万家的垃圾的收集管理体系呢?设想一下,如果把条形码技术应用于千家万户,可以解决垃圾源头分类和计量收费的难题;如果应用于社区,可以实施社区垃圾总量控制,推广减量减费的奖励政策;如果应用于商品包装,可以像德国推广"绿点"回收一样建立包装垃圾的免费回收和资源化利用体系.

A Pact with the Devil? Elite Alliances as Bases of Violent Religious Conflicts

This article aims at explaining religious conflicts on the basis of an elite-centered theoretical model. Violent movements can only pertain on the long run if political elites organize and coordinate them centrally. The same holds true for the religious dimension of many conflicts. Religious elites have to persuade the believers of the religious nature of their struggle. Hence, in many cases religious conflicts can be traced back to alliances of religious and political elites. The first try to protect their religious communities and hope to expand their religious influence. The latter try to use religion as a resource for mobilization.     

人性、权力与制度反腐

人性中的恶是腐败的深层基础,但权力的异化和滥用则是导致腐败的根本原因。必须正视人性中的恶及善恶互变现象,以外在的刚性制度约束和内在的文化心理约束激发人性的正能量;必须加强权力制约和监督,把权力关进制度的笼子里,防微杜渐、惩恶扬善,这是人性向善和政治走向文明的内在需求;必须加强制度设计,提高制度执行力,规范权力运用,防止制度虚置,形成不敢腐的惩戒机制、不能腐的防范机制、不易腐的保障机制,提高制度反腐的科学化水平。广大领导干部必须习惯于在监督下谨慎用权,为民掌好权,自觉抵制形式主义、官僚主义、享乐主义和奢靡之风的侵蚀,为全体人民的全面而自由的发展营造民主、平等、公正、和谐的社会氛围和精神乐土。     

Behavioural Development Economics: Lessons from Field Labs in the Developing World

Explanations of poverty, growth and development depend on the assumptions made about individual preferences and the willingness to engage in strategic behaviour. Economic experiments, especially those conducted in the field, have begun to paint a picture of economic agents in developing communities that is at variance with the traditional portrait. We review this growing literature with an eye towards preference-related experiments conducted in the field. We also offer lessons on what development economists might learn from experiments. We conclude by sharing our thoughts on how to conduct experiments in the field and then offer a few ideas for future research.     

The Peking Opera Aesthetic

WITHIN traditional Chinese aesthet- ics there is actual and virtual appre- ciation of beauty.The Chinese concept of beauty is re flected in the thoughts of Laozi, a con temporary of Confucius (551-479 B.C and arguably China's most profoun philosopher.
