论我国人民代表大会制度下的分权体制——兼论我国人民代表大会制度的完善

本文认为 ,所谓分权体制 ,其精神实质 ,并不是国家权力配置的具体模式 ,而是将国家治理权划分为几种基本形式、分别赋予不同的国家机关来行使 ,以防止因权力过于集中所导致的权力腐败。由于历史和现实条件不同 ,分权体制的具体模式在不同国家有不同的表现。我国的人民代表大会制度是人民主权与国家治理权相统一的制度 ,人民代表大会代表人民主权 ,一府两院行使国家治理权     

别具一格的加拿大宪法

从殖民者的统治到加拿大的主权独立 ,短短几个世纪的风雨历程 ,造就了一部风格独具的宪法。英国和法国殖民者不仅在这片北美土地上留下统治的痕迹 ,也给加拿大宪法打上了深刻的烙印。本文试图分析加拿大宪法的特点、历史演进 ,并将它与其他国家的宪法进行比较。加拿大宪法既是成文宪法 ,又具有不成文宪法的要素 ;既是相对柔性的宪法 ,又具有刚性的特色 ;既强调君主立宪 ,又体现了主权在民。     

Politics and Image: The Conceptual Value of Branding

This article argues that the brand concept is a powerful tool for understanding political images. It challenges typical economic versions of political marketing that tend to deemphasize the significance of communication, popular culture, and personality in politics and argues that the brand as a concept can bring together the economic and the aesthetic, rational choice and cultural resonance. It proposes a model of brand distinctiveness and argues that this may be useful both in the analysis of party communication and in the normative evaluation of that communication.     

Reclaiming Politics: Popular Democracy in Britain after the Scottish Referendum

Referendums are often criticised for being elite‐controlled and undeliberative. This article argues that the detailed, multiactor regulation of the Scottish referendum resulted in an elaborate legal regime which helped to overcome these potential pathologies, diluting executive control and facilitating an exercise in national public engagement. It addresses the troubled history of referendum use in the UK and contends that the Scottish process may well transform how referendums are now viewed. Indeed, one outcome of the Scottish process is likely to be a greater demand at UK level for the use of direct democracy in processes of significant constitutional change. It is by no means certain, however, that these demands for greater popular engagement in the process of constitutional change will be met, particularly when we consider the Smith Commission process, which marks a return to elite interparty bargaining.     

Going fifth freedom: fighting the War on Terror in the Splinter Cell: Blacklist video game

Following an aesthetic turn, it has become increasingly permissible to utilise artefacts of popular culture in the study of political phenomena. This practice has been of an increased relevance in the period following the trauma of the September 11th terrorist attacks and the subsequent War on Terror, during which popular culture has played an important role in the provision and reproduction of accessible narratives of warfare and counterterrorism. This article argues that this is evident within military-themed video games, offering a mimetic analysis of the themes of violence, identity and space in Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

From Career Girl to Sexy Stewardess: Popular Culture and Women’s Work in the Canadian and American Airline Industries

This article examines three popular renditions of female flight attendants in Canada and the United States in teen fiction, film, and advertising, with attention to representational shifts from the 1940s to the 1970s. Our analysis demonstrates that the more sexualized image of the 1960s was a significant departure from the more complicated immediate postwar presentation of the flight attendant as a resourceful and capable career girl, albeit one still constrained by dominant notions of white, middle-class femininity. Created by management decisions in the face of increased capitalist competition, in concert with the influence of popular culture and gender ideology, the sexy stewardess altered the workplace environment for female flight attendants, but the legacy of earlier popular culture may well have aided their resistance to sexualization.

单向接轨：改革开放30年与当代青年流行文化发展浅析

改革开放30年来，中国青年流行文化逐步与世界接轨。这种接轨目前更多的还是单向的接轨，即输入多，输出少。造成这种状况的原因是多方面多层次的，包括人们误读接轨概念，国外青年流行文化更契合青年口味，传播平台更广更先进，营销手段更有效等。我们的教育体制、文化体制等方面的限制是造成这种状况更加深层的原因。实现中国青年流行文化与世界的双向接轨，必须大力度改革相关体制。
