Congressional Activism in the Foreign Policy Arena: A Case Study of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide

This article analyzes congressional activism during an international crisis. Using the 1994 Rwandan genocide as a case, this study explores executive–congressional relations during a time when immediate policy responses are needed. A content analysis of policy statements made during committees, on the House floor, and on the Senate floor is used to investigate the specific policy ideas proposed by members of Congress. The models presented pay particular attention to the actions of Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members, in relation to other more common predictors of congressional activism. In addition to the results for CBC members, other conclusions indicate that foreign policy leaders in Congress are international affairs policy experts without serious concerns of being defeated in their next election.

欧盟危机管理初探

欧盟以保障公众健康为首要宗旨的危机管理机制,因有关法律法规的出台及食品安全局的正式运行趋于完善。变革后的机制拥有较为完善的组织结构,并体现出许多强化欧盟危机管理效能的新特点。另一方面,危机管理本质上是一种非程序化决策过程,管理者应拥有非常态下一切必要权变所需的充分权力资源。但欧盟变革后的危机管理机制却体现出法权资源相对不足并实行二元化管理等与欧盟总体结构布局相一致的特征,这在一定程度上又对欧盟危机管理效能的充分实现带来了一定的负面影响。     

Going, going, gone: the effects of aid policies on graduation at three large public institutions

This paper exploits uniquely detailed data and cross-institution variation in aid for three large public universities to identify the effects of aid on the probability of college graduation. The results indicate that need-based and merit-based aid both increase graduation rates at large public institutions, but primarily through the types of students that ‘select’ these institutions. Merit-based aid facilitates an institution attracting students who have higher observed academic ability that raises the probability of graduation. Need-based aid enables an institution to attract students with non-academic attributes such as social and cultural networks that, while often unobserved, improve graduation success. Broadly, our results suggest that recent aid policy that has moved away from need-based aid for low-income students (reducing their ability to find the best institutional match) and toward merit-based aid (that alters the distribution of high ability students across colleges) could foster stagnant graduation rates even with rising enrollment rates that have been observed over the last three decades.

Emerging Markets: Preferences,R isks,Performance...

The paper surveys the most important literature on emerging markets and their performance. Emerging market countries are defined here as the countries with low intuitional capacity in general, rather than the countries with particular economic characteristics and per capita income; although the latter is the predominant view in the current literature. The paper places particular importance on the legal system and legal order (compliance) in the transitional economies, stressing the importance of adequate regulation where even more advanced regulatory models, like market regulation, should not be totally excluded. Despite many common characteristics, emerging markets differ significantly one from another and it is very difficult, if really not impossible, to create one ‘general theory of emerging markets’ and its financial behaviour. Finally, the practice in the last decade or so, has proven that emerging markets are somewhat unpredictable and difficult to model.     

论网络化时代警察公关意识的有效提升

网络时代如何防范负面涉警舆情,是当前公安机关面临的一项重要而紧迫的任务。警察公共关系意识是警察的深层次思想观念,能够成为警察公共关系的一种内驱力,有助于防范与应对涉警网络舆论危机。因此,增强警察公关意识、加强警察公共关系建设应当成为网络时代公安工作的重要组成部分。借鉴国外的先进做法,基于中国国情,采取改善公安院校课程设置、成立警察公关培训基地、开展机关内部教育与考核等方式可以成为增强警察公关意识有效路径。
