颠覆型民主化:菲律宾民主转型的力学博弈及依靠力量

通过"二月政变"率先实现颠覆型民主化,是菲律宾政治和社会长期发展的产物.在转型的博弈过程中,菲律宾未能形成体制内改革派集团,体制和反体制势力间的势力平衡急速地倾向于后者,在野党缺乏动员大众并使政府让步的能力.军队的反叛和教会的介入是民主转型最重要的依靠力量,这使得菲律宾颠覆型民主化的实现成为可能.     

“新公共服务”的公共理性诉求

作为传统公共行政学的一种替代性研究路径,新公共管理摒弃了传统政治理论的观察视角,用市场理念和企业家精神来重塑行政理念和价值,在追求效率和生产力方面,新公共管理的理念和方案得到了不少的赞成和肯定,但它对于追求何种最终价值却鲜有兴趣.而以美国学者登哈特为代表的新公共服务理论高举公共行政价值追求的旗帜,将管理主义者边缘化了的公民权、社会责任、公共利益等价值量度重新置回行政话语的中心,而公共理性是实现以上公共行政价值观之基础,可以说,公共理性是新公共服务的一个重要理论诉求.     

More ‘Europe’, less Democracy? European integration does not erode satisfaction with democracy

The process of European integration, through institutions such as the European Union, the Eurozone, or Schengen, implies a shift in political decision-making away from the national governments and towards international institutions. This gradual shift in the balance of power, furthermore, is increasingly debated by citizens. As a result, European integration might lead to an erosion of satisfaction with democracy in European countries. By means of a longitudinal analysis of the determinants of satisfaction with democracy in European countries, we test this expectation. We find no indication that the shift in the balance of power, and the trend towards more European integration indeed have eroded satisfaction with the functioning of (national) democracy.     

Democracy and the limits of political realism

ABSTRACT

This article explores the recent resurgence of realism in the political sciences, questioning its relevance for democratic theory. Starting from a critical review of recent works in the field, the article calls into question the relevance of empirical investigations of political reality for normative theorizing, and contends that some of the normative conclusions advanced in this literature are not warranted. More precisely, the article questions the reliability of studies of political behavior and of political opinion as a sound basis on which to draw normative inferences about democratic legitimacy. It contends that the kind of epistemic realism their authors promote cannot deliver what it promises. The article concludes by proposing an alternative interpretation of the democratic principle as a practical postulate of political reason that reconciles empirical evidence about political behavior with the classical interpretation of democratic legitimacy.

对现阶段公安机关性质职能的认识

公安机关的性质是公安机关基本属性的反映,是公安机关基本职能、任务、职责、权力的重要依据,也是构建社会主义和谐社会的新阶段,加强公安队伍正规化建设,树立人民警察意识,践行"三个代表"重要思想,坚持政治建警的需要。因此,正确认识公安机关的性质职能的研究,对在实际公安工作中,真正做到"立警为公,执政为民",做到依法履行职责,正确行使权力,具有极为重要的理论指导意义。     

Repair,stigmatisation or tolerance? Former girl soldiers’ experience of their ‘homecoming’

This paper examines how 12 former girl soldiers in eastern Congo experience their social reintegration back into their families and communities. A successful social reintegration process is conceptualised as one which involves repaired relationships characterised by positive emotions towards and social acceptance of former girl soldiers. Dijker and Koomen’s theory on social control mechanisms is used to analyse the data, and attitudes and treatment experienced by the girls are categorised as repair, stigmatisation or tolerance. Individual interviews with former girl soldiers paint a picture of a homecoming characterised by frequent stigmatisation, some repair and little tolerance both from family and community. Although some repair processes are taking place, many former girl soldiers experience being perceived as a threat to social norms as well as to health and safety. This may partly be explained by the devastating imprint war and armed conflict frequently leaves on people and societies. War appears to breed more authoritarian values and fearful responses to objectionable or deviant behaviour and conditions, and seems to put collective values of caring and sharing under pressure.

日本两党制趋势分析

日本民主党在2003 年和2004 年的众参两院选举中取得了较大的胜利,其发展势头直逼执政的自民党,日本政坛企盼已久的两大政党制似乎实现有望。但是,民主党之所以胜出,并不是由于该党的方针政策获得了民心,而是得益于自民党的失策和领导人的失态。再者,从日本各政党的发展历程以及民主党的现状来看,也有理由认为真正的两大政党制还难以在近期内实现。
