大型社会调查中联系中介的社会网分析——以“中国西部省份社会与经济发展监测研究”为例

一项大型的社会调查是极其复杂的社会活动,往往需要一个专门的协调者或协调部门,并且要运用特有的关系网来介入.这种介入方式运用介入者拥有的社会资源和社会网络关系进行沟通和联系,并形成一个特殊的大型调查中的联系中介.本文引入社会网分析的方法来研究这个特殊的联系中介在社会调查中介入的路径,研究由此构成三个沟通网络、联系方式和沟通方式,及其发挥的重要作用.     

社会主义荣辱观的哲学意蕴

胡锦涛同志提出的"八荣八耻"社会主义荣辱观,是立足社会主义市场经济的深刻实践,面向构建社会主义和谐社会的宏伟目标,以马克思主义世界观和方法论认识和总结我国精神文明建设特别是思想道德建设的实践经验,得出的科学结论.从哲学上深入考察社会主义荣辱观的理论内涵和现实意义,对于我们准确把握其所蕴含的历史和时代价值,无疑具有重要意义.     

孤残儿童家庭寄养政策研究

孤残儿童家庭寄养政策是我国近年来探索社会福利社会化改革中的一项重要尝试。这种新型的孤残儿童照顾模式,一方面体现了“以儿童为中心”的照顾理念,另一方面,又能整合社会资源,实现社会福利的社会化。     

中国和平崛起的政治经济学分析

21世纪,中国提出的和平崛起理念具有重大的理论意义和实践价值。从政治经济学的视角来分析,和平崛起理念不仅是中国国际战略思想的重大创新,更是中国基于国际国内政治经济形势所做出的合乎经济理性的战略选择。和平崛起理念实践价值,在于其顺应了经济全球化与中国经济日益国际化的潮流,在国际政治经济领域都具有广泛的市场。从国际政治经济活动主体运行的相关性来看,中国的和平崛起同样也不是孤立的。为此,中国要实现和平崛起的战略构想,必须系统地分析国际国内政治经济形势及其变化趋势,创造最大限度的有利条件,调动一切可能的积极因素,做出最优化决策。     

我国城市规划法制的现状与展望

二十世纪八十年代以来,我国逐渐形成了数量繁多、相对较为齐全的城市规划法制体系.但由于受到指导思想、发展水平等主客观因素的制约,目前,我国城市规划法制在实践中出现了诸多弊端和不足.我国必须对城市规划的法制进行科学、理性的整合与完善.这种整合与完善应当以科学的可持续发展观为指导,应体现社会的公平性与正义性,注重对环境、对有关利益主体的权益保障.     

The End of Wilderness: Conflict and Defeat of Wilderness in the Grand Canyon

In the early 1970s, Grand Canyon National Park intended to designate its land to “Wilderness,” including the controversial Colorado River corridor. However, by the end of the 1970s the potential for Wilderness designation was off the table, and would never seriously return for genuine consideration. Using Schattschneider's model of conflict, we explain how the organization of this conflict privileges the “causal story” of Wilderness opponents, and therefore why the canyon is not designated. It is our contention that members of Congress will not stand forward to support Wilderness designations without simultaneously providing benefits for extractive land use because (1) congressional representatives are more penalized for supporting than opposing Wilderness designations, (2) Wilderness advocacy groups do not pressure congressional delegates as firmly as opposition groups, and (3) key local congressional members are not likely to see Wilderness as a salient issue worth the risk of negative exposure. If these findings hold, the implication is that we may have reached the end of significant Wilderness designations in highly visible areas, unless critical aspects in land use conflict change.     

建立宏观调控法律监督与救济机制的现实意义与理论基础

国家宏观调控权的滥用对市场机制基础性作用的地位与私权利保护极易产生损害 ,所以在国内法律赋予国家宏观调控权的同时 ,建立对其有效的法律监督与救济机制已成为当务之急。建立国家宏观调控的法律监督与救济机制 ,具有经济学与法治主义方面的理论根源和权力观念基础。它对我国宏观调控法律研究上升到全面性与系统性之层次以及指导立法实践将有所裨益     

差异与成因：两大法系消极公诉权之评析——兼及我国消极公诉权之完善

消极公诉权在公诉权理论中占有极为重要的地位 ,两大法系都对之作出了积极的肯定 ,并在立法上作出了相应的规定。但是 ,两大法系对消极公诉权的规定又显示出了巨大的差异 ,这种差异是由于两大法系在国家政治哲学、法律传统、诉讼理念等方面的区别而造成的。本文分析了两者的差异 ,并对我国消极公诉权的完善提出了意见     

Congressional Vote Options

Numerous accounts reveal that congressional leaders often secure “hip‐pocket votes” or “if you need me” pledges from rank‐and‐file legislators. These are essentially options on votes. Leaders exercise sufficient options—pay legislators to convert to favorable votes—when those options will yield victory. Otherwise, they release the options. A model shows that this optimal strategy for leaders produces many small victories, few small losses, and losses that are, on average, larger than victories. We find precisely these patterns, hence strong evidence for vote options, in Congressional Quarterly key votes from 1975 through 2001 and in non‐key votes from the 106th Congress (1999–2000).     

Assessing the Performance of the Price Cap Plan for Local Exchange Carriers in the United States

In 1991 the FCC implemented a price cap plan for local exchange carriers' interstate access service designed to deal with the regulatory boundaries problem arising from the breakup of AT&T in 1984. The experience with the price cap plan demonstrates the difficulty of predicting productivity growth accurately and makes clear that regulators cannot depend upon a pure price cap plan to keep prices within a reasonable range of costs. With periodic reviews to readjust plan parameters, however, a price cap plan can maintain the rate-of-return close to the target rate-of-return without diminishing the price cap plan's incentives for efficient production. A simple method of recalculating the X-factor based on the rate-of-return over the previous three years worked well in simulations. If this procedure had been used over the price cap period 1991 to 2000, prices would have been 20 percent lower and expenditures on LECs' telecommunications service subject to a price cap would have been $3.8 billion lower.
