Political opportunity structures and right-wing extremist party success

West European right-wing extremist parties have received a great deal of attention over the past two decades due to their electoral success. What has received less coverage, however, is the fact that these parties have not enjoyed a consistent level of electoral support across Western Europe during this period. This article puts forward an explanation of the variation in the right-wing extremist party vote across Western Europe that incorporates a wider range of factors than have been considered previously. It begins by examining the impact of socio-demographic variables on the right-wing extremist party vote. Then, it turns its attention to a whole host of structural factors that may potentially affect the extreme right party vote, including institutional, party-system and conjunctural variables. The article concludes with an assessment of which variables have the most power in explaining the uneven electoral success of right-wing extremist parties across Western Europe. The findings go some way towards challenging the conventional wisdom as to how the advance of the parties of the extreme right may be halted.     

中国户籍制度改革的取向与步骤——基于户籍功能的分析

户籍的传统功能是经济功能和管理功能,经济功能是指资源配置和赋税征收,管理职能主要是社会治安管理。在市场经济条件下,由于流动人口会产生"人户分离",由此导致户籍传统功能的缺失。改革现行户籍制度就是要建立一个以人的指纹等生物特征为基本内容的、以计算机管理为手段的户籍系统,在"户籍信息"和"特定个人"之间建立联系,恢复户籍的经济功能和管理功能。     

DODGY KEBABS EVERYWHERE? VARIETY OF WORLDVIEWS AND REGULATORY CHANGE

In the study of risk regulation, grid-group cultural theory has attracted considerable interest. There has, however, been a lack of a systematic interest in its claims and in methodological issues. In this article, we present five claims that are drawn from cultural theory and assess them in the light of failure in meat inspections in Germany. These claims are assessed through the analysis of argumentation as recorded in newspapers. In the light of its empirical findings, this article argues that the claims and methodology employed offer a promising avenue for further work to investigate the usefulness of this particular theoretical approach.     

侵华日军在南京大屠杀期间对新闻舆论的控制与利用

日本当局在指挥日军对南京进攻与大屠杀期间,实施了一系列控制新闻与操纵舆论的新闻政策:一方面宣扬日本的侵略有理与日军的赫赫战果,伪造南京的"祥和"气象与南京人民对皇军的欢迎和感激,伪造南京人民自主地建立伪政权,等等;另一方面则严密封锁与掩盖日军的种种战争暴行.这既是日本侵华政策的重要内容之一,又是世界新闻史上颇具典型意义的"个案".
