Inequality for the Greater Good: Gendered State Rule in Singapore

Abstract

The Singapore state, in response to demographic trends of later marriage and lower fertility, has put in place numerous institutions aimed at “protecting” the family as a unit. In their effects, many of the policies place disproportionate burdens on women, particularly insofar as the policies reproduce “traditional” gendered divisions of labor within the household at the same time that they encourage women to participate in the formal workforce. We might expect the contradictory demands placed on women and the gender inequalities embedded within the state's policies to lead to resistance and/or expressions of displeasure — in ways that could undermine the state's legitimacy — but the policies seem instead to be integral to and enhancing of the state's capacity for rule. This article shows that gendered family policies reproduce state power through three interconnected mechanisms: they establish regular relationships between state and society; articulate particular identities and interests of Singaporeans as members of families, thereby undercutting gender and ethnic identities; and give content to notions of “tradition” and “modernity” that solidify the state's claim to being the only agent able to balance the twin tensions that are at the core of the nation's survival.     

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ＂MODERNITY AND CHINESE LEGAL CULTURE＂ HELD AT RENMIN UNIVERSITY OF CHINA LAW SCHOOL

The legal reform of the late Qing Dynasty that took place more than one hundred years ago has usually been considered as the starting point of the transformation and modernization of Chinese legal culture. Following that, both the Republic of China＇s legal system, and the Chinese legal system drawing on Western experience since the opening-up, have been （to a large extent） developed by the purpose of pursuing modemity. Hence, the relationship between modernity and Chinese legal culture is the crucial point in understanding the development of Chinese legal system in modem times, and also a point in comprehending the ongoing legal system construction in a global perspective.     

动脉喷溅血迹动力学及形态学的模拟实验观察

目的观察不同压力、管径对在水平方向上形成的喷溅状血迹的喷射距离及形态的影响。方法建立室内现场环境,利用自制的模拟喷射装置,在60～210mmHg范围内设6种压力,在1.5～4.5mm范围内设4种管径条件,于50、100、150cm 3种高度,制作动脉喷溅血迹。观察水平面上不同喷射高度的喷溅血迹的分布范围、血迹大小及形态特征,并测量其距离,采用SPSS 13.0统计软件进分析,并进行方差检验。结果在不同高度,血液喷射距离随压力增大而增加,随管径增大而减小,两因素间存在交互作用,距离与压力及管径存在较好的线性关系,可得出回归方程。而喷溅血迹的形态特征总体趋势为:高度越高圆形血滴直径约大;管径越粗,边缘毛刺状突起越明显;压力越大,喷射距离越远,且卫星状血迹逐渐增多,拖尾更拉长;随管径的增加,出现椭圆形血滴所需的压力越高。结论动脉喷溅血迹的形态及喷射距离的观察与测量,可用于推断命案现场喷溅源位置及人体受损伤时的体位。     

建国后中共保存富农政策变动的再思考

新中国成立后,中共富农政策经历了保存--限制--消灭的曲折历程.建国之初,中共吸取了苏联富农政策的教训,又经过内部多次讨论.制定了保存富农经济的政策.随着社会主义改造的迅速开展,保存富农政策转向限制和消灭富农经济.富农阶层在经济上被剥夺,在政治上受到歧视.随着十一届三中全会后拨乱反正政策的实行,富农分子及其子女被摘掉成...     

A Slovenian Special Education Specialist Popularizes Drama In Education in Chengdu

How to let students in their adolescence disclose the pressures they confront? How to make hearing-impaired children better communicate with their family members and pals? Veronika Gaber Korbar, Director of the Taka Tuka Club in Ljubljana of Slovenia, Chengdu’s friendship city, brought a completely new approach to education: Drama In Education (DIE) to the students of Grade 8 of the Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing of the Chengdu Special Education School.     

Decades of Cooperation Between SIFA and Germany’s FES

For almost 30 years, the Sichuan Provincial People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (SIFA) has been cooperating with the Freidrich-Ebert-Stiftung (Freidrich Ebert Foundation) of Germany. This has produced much useful work and good results for China’s reform and opening up program, economic construction and social development in Sichuan based on the principles of deepening understanding, treating each other sincerely, friendly cooperation and win-win development according to the actual conditions of the province.     

刍议痕迹检验技术在勘查检验交通肇事案件现场中的作用

长期以来,技术人员在应用痕迹检验技术勘验和检验交通肇事案件时,往往只考虑到特殊痕迹检验中整体分离痕迹和轮胎印痕来认定肇事车辆,对于其他痕迹在确定案件的性质,侦查方向有着特殊作用却少有所知。本文通过一系列具体的交通肇事案件,说明整个痕迹检验技术在交通肇事案件现场中有着广泛应用,对交通肇事案件的侦破具有积极的意义。     

Cities as Lobbyists

Individual cities are active interest groups in lobbying the federal government, and yet the dynamics of this intergovernmental lobbying are poorly understood. We argue that preference incongruence between a city and its parent state government leads to underprovision of public goods, and cities need to appeal to the federal government for additional resources. We provide evidence for this theory using a data set of over 13,800 lobbying disclosures filed by cities with populations over 25,000 between 1999 and 2012. Income inequality and ethnic fragmentation are also highly related to federal lobbying activities. Using an instrumental variables analysis of earmark and Recovery Act grant data, we show that each dollar a city spends on lobbying generates substantial returns.
