Implementing Developmental Screening Programs for Infants and Toddlers in the Child Welfare System

In 2003, revisions to the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act required states to develop plans to refer children younger than 3 years of age with a substantiated case of abuse and neglect for developmental screening. A decade after legislation was passed, its implementation varies considerably across states. This article explains how research informs the need for careful developmental monitoring of young children, especially those experiencing trauma or living under stressful conditions. Finally, this article presents how one community used colocation to increase developmental screenings for young abused and neglected children.     

Against the Current: Social Pathways and the Pursuit of Enduring Change

Radical innovations and practices frequentlyfind themselves in an inhospitable environment,struggling against the gravitational force ofdominant norms, practices and relations. Thispaper explores the problems radical changeconfronts in its attempts to become sustainable.Against the postmodern valorisation of thetransient and ephemeral, the paper argues forthe importance of routinisation and repetitionin the process of creating and sustainingchange. A metaphor of social pathways isdeveloped to explore how new routines arecreated through de jure (governance) andde facto (usage) means. The paper arguesthat, in contrast to governance, the emergentdurability generated by usage enables routinesto outlive their conditions of existence.At the same time, routines at odds with theirsocial and institutional environment tend overtime to disappear. The second half of the paperdraws on four British attempts to introduce newpathways: lesbian and gay local governmentinitiatives, Conservative education reforms,Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp and LocalExchange Trading Systems (LETS). Through theseexamples, the paper reflects on attempts tocreate more conducive environments, and some ofthe difficulties this generates.     

我国民行检察监督法律制度的发展与完善

通过对我国民行检察监督制度发展的规律性认识折射出我国整个检察制度发展改革应完善的方向：加强检察理论研究,重视与学界的沟通与交流,为检察改革营造出良好的理论环境;重视检察改革中的外部关系,与法院在博弈中加强合作,在合作共赢中推进检察制度改革;鼓励地方检察机关的创新型实践,检察改革应采取自上而下和自下而上相结合的改革路径。     

我国刑事二审发回重审制度的实然分析与规范设计

刑事二审发回重审制度在一定程度上实现了上级法院对下级法院的监督且有利于发现事实真相,但它在理论和实践中也出现了很多问题。通过对发回重审立法规定的合理性和实践成效及问题进行实然分析,将揭示出我国发回重审制度在实现其实体性补救和程序性制裁功能时所体现出的缺陷。在此基础上提出修改建议,完善该制度就具有十分重要的意义。     

The Future of British Political History: Concluding Remarks

These concluding remarks reflect, in the light of the preceding articles, on two themes that recur throughout the collection. First, how can historians maintain an effective presence in public debate about politics in Britain? Second, how should political historians position themselves within the discipline, at a time when—it is suggested—political history is losing ground among British academic historians? It is argued here that, in each case, they should reflect on what they can most distinctively contribute, either as historians or as political historians; and that they should frame their interventions accordingly.     

当前全球治理与中国全球治理话语权提升

当前世界秩序正在发生深刻复杂变化,全球治理体系也深受影响,大国围绕全球治理话语权的竞争日益激烈,全球治理面临治理困境甚至治理失败。全球治理话语权既体现为参与治理的权利,也体现为贯穿治理过程的权力,具体化为治理主题、治理议程、治理平台、治理制度和治理人才等多个方面,反映治理理念之争、话语之争与制度之争。2008年世界金融危机后,尤其是中共十八大以来,中国高度重视、积极参与和引领全球治理,努力创建新机制和新规则,推动现有国际制度改革,提出中国倡议和方案,分享中国治理理念,参与全球治理人才竞争。未来中国需继续加强外交能力,提升全球治理话语权,挖掘和凝练全球治理理念,完善全球治理话语体系,加强全球治理制度能力建设,提高制度性话语权,培育和动员社会力量,做好治理人才培养和储备,以真正成为全球治理强国。     

Environmental Policies and The Reproduction of Business as Usual: How Does It Work?

This paper aims to advance knowledge about corporate environmentalism by using new concepts and methods. We broaden the concept of the firm as “differentiated composite actor” by including not only managers but workers and unionists as actors. We descend into the “hidden abode of production” using Lefebvre’s concept of “everyday life” to explore the barriers environmental policies experience in this sphere. We base our explorations on life-history interviews to understand how the imaginaries of production are embedded in people’s self-conceptions. We identify seven barriers to the implementation of environmental practices: deficient regulations, collusion between controller and controlled, de-prioritisation, hierarchism, compartmentalisation, specialisation, and social unsustainability. A “necessity discourse,” legitimating the priority of efficiency and product quality over environmental sustainability, subjugates alternative sustainable practices. The paper concludes with a discussion of the results in the light of previous investigations, suggesting that the concept of the everyday could enrich future research.     

Security Identities and ‘No More,No Less’ Operations: On Making NATO's Involvement in Darfur Possible

This article explores NATO's support mission to the African Union's peacekeeping operation in Darfur, Sudan between 2005 and 2007. NATO policies are commonly presented as functional responses to events, but how did a conflict on the African continent become the Atlantic Alliance's business? In this essay, a poststructuralist practice-oriented approach is used to understand the way in which discursive practices progressively establish a policy option as ‘natural' in a given situation. It is argued that the normalization of NATO's support mission to the African Union in Darfur and the integration of this operation in NATO's security identity were the result of complex and conflict-ridden social interactions between different discursive practices supported by different actors.     

Promoting Data Protection Standards through Contracts: The Case of the Data Security Council of India

Data protection has emerged as a major corporate and government concern worldwide. The focus is on secure handling of data so as to ensure privacy of customer data and security of corporate data. Privacy and security laws in countries are not harmonized; compliance regulations are different too. As the global hub of outsourcing, India is faced with a challenge of demonstrating compliance with varying compliance regulations in countries. The Data Security Council of India (DSCI) considers the Best Practices Approach as a practical and realistic way to enhance adherence to data security and privacy standards, and to enable a service provider to demonstrate compliance. Getting these standards recognized through contracts can promote data protection. An industry association can act as a third party self‐regulatory organization to promote these standards and enforce them among its members through certification or privacy seals, thereby helping implement data protection in international data flows.     

论我国见索即付保函法律制度的构建

见索即付保函产生于二战以后蓬勃发展的国际商业实践。突破了传统保函的从属性,具备独立性与单据化特征使受益人得到迅速、便捷的资金补偿,从而被商业社会普遍接受。但由于各国交易惯例的差异和当事人理解上的偏差,相关纠纷时有发生。我国商业实践早在20世纪80年代就开始运用,但现有立法却仍没有明确其合法地位,也没有专门而系统的操作规范,司法实践亦对涉外领域和国内领域的保函效力予以区别对待。基于商业实践和保护相关当事人权益的需要,构建我国见索即付保函法律制度势在必行。
