论和谐社会如何构建党的思想建设

党的执政能力建设是一个广泛涉及党在思想建设、组织建设、制度建设、政权建设乃至领导水平、管理方法等各方面的复杂的系统,其中党的思想建设状况占有首要地位,它对党的路线纲领方针政策的制定和实行,对和谐社会的构建起着重要的思想保证作用。     

市场经济与民族精神重构

西方文化思潮的冲击,强烈而深刻地作用于当代中国人的心理和观念,影响着以爱国主义、集体主义、社会主义的思想道德为核心的民族精神的时代走向,发展有中国特色社会主义的文化,成为重构民族精神价值取向的重要内容。     

国际法治：全球化时代的秩序构建

当前的全球化需要理性的约束和调整，因而国际法治具有重要的意义。国际法治分为“国际良法”和“全球善治”两个方面，但是当代国际法还远没有达到这两个标准，存在着国际法不成体系、规避国际法、司法体制的选择性、国际立法的导向性、国际行政机关的弊病等多方面的问题。但是人类的目前状态意味着有必要在当前的体系上进行改革和发展，向国际法治的真正实现作出努力。     

分界·分层·分流·分类——我国民事诉讼制度转型的基本思路

我国民事诉讼制度改革的基本目标和总体方向仍然应当是司法现代化和司法专业化,完成从“前现代”向“现代化”的转型。然而,这种转型不是采取任何单一的价值取向或矫枉过正措施,而是要以社会分工的专业化程度为标志实现社会进化,通过精密的分流装置,体现权限分界、职能分层、案件分流、程序分类的基本思路,从而在价值冲突中系统地重构我国现代化的民事诉讼程序。     

和谐社会建设视阈中的社会力量培育

党的十六届六中全会首次聚焦"社会建设",这昭示着我国政府职能即将开始一次真正意义的转型,它标志着以个人社会权利为中心的整体性社会建设的开始。从人类社会历史发展过程中国家权力向社会公民权利回归的历程分析,总结浙江的现实经验,可以看出,培育与国家公共权力相对应并能与之进行有效互动、制衡的社会力量,应是和谐社会建设的一个基础要件。     

以人为本维度社会弱势群体的法治情怀

要实现对社会弱势群体的法律保护,应该从法律价值的转变着手,要求法律必须承认和确立“以人为本”的社会正义观,关注社会生活中的每一个体;要求法律的价值理念由义务本位向权利与义务并举的方向更新,更多的关注弱势群体的各项权利;要求法律制度的价值理念由偏重效率向公正与效率辩证统一的方向努力,并把关注社会公正放在首要位置。此外,还必须建立健全相关法制,严格执法,采用多层次的保护途径和方法。     

Violence,fear, and development in Latin America: a critical overview

This introduction presents the core concepts that shape this special issue on the impact of violence and the processes of development in Central and South America. The understanding of development is considered in terms broader than the economic context alone, in order to assess wider social and political aspects. With a similarly expansive scope, forms of violence are addressed that range from direct physical harm and bodily attack to the often more subtle aggression of racialised abuse or the pressures on community-centred production from dominant market forces. In these contexts, violence, economic initiatives, and political allegiances form unintended and often dangerous networks of consequence for development matters. All the articles in this volume exemplify further the spatial environments of violence and diverse ‘landscapes of fear’ that shape our existence and help to define our actions, territories, and understanding of what happens around us.     

Social capital

In parallel with, and as a complement to, globalisation, ‘social capital’ has enjoyed a meteoric rise across the social sciences over the last two decades. Not surprisingly, it has been particularly prominent across development studies, not least through heavy promotion by the World Bank. As a concept, though, as has been argued persistently by a minority critical literature, social capital is fundamentally flawed. Although capable of addressing almost anything designated as social, it has tended to neglect the state, class, power, and conflict. As a buzzword, it has heavily constrained the currently progressive departure from the extremes of neo-liberalism and post-modernism at a time of extremely aggressive assault by economics imperialism. Social capital should not be ignored but contested – and rejected.

Citizenship: a perverse confluence

This article discusses the different meanings that citizenship has assumed in Latin America in the past few decades. Its main argument is that, in the perverse confluence between neo-liberal and democratic participatory projects, the common reference to citizenship, used by different political actors, projects an apparent homogeneity, obscuring differences and diluting the conflict between those projects.
