Changing Images in Books for Young People

Literature for young people has changed greatly since Severzteeiztlz Suinrner and Fifreerz were published. Society has changed greatly, too, in the last few decades. Many modern books reflect society's involvement with drugs, sex, alcohol, and violence. Teenagers will read a great variety of stories and view different images of themselves and their times.     

Flying solo: Explaining single-party cabinets under minority presidentialism

In recent years, the comparative literature on presidential democracy has emphasised the role of coalitional politics in attenuating the ‘perils’ facing minority presidents. Yet since the beginning of the Third Wave of democratisation in 1974, a surprising number of minority presidents have eschewed cabinet coalitions (defined minimally as the awarding of at least one portfolio to a party other than the nominal party of the president). Unipartisan governments are observed just under half of the time. What explains the adoption of single-party cabinets by minority presidents? Cross-sectional time-series analysis is employed to address this question. Hypotheses are tested that relate to the size and distribution of the formateur (presidential) and largest non-formateur parties that make up the legislature; the nature of party linkages and ideological distance between the president and possible partisan allies; and the extent of reactive veto powers held by the president.     

生态文化基础上的公共空间变迁与重构

作为重要媒介的公共空间在以山地民族为主的社区内主要以生态空间的形式出现,并随着国家相关政策的变化发生了一系列的变迁。在经历了家族主义、集体主义和现代社区建设三个时段的变化发展后,历史上“生态———宗教———政治”的复合型公共空间已向“生态———宗教———生态”转化,且在最基层与国家的行政组织复合和互相渗透,新的公共空间的重构已经在生态环境的可持续发展目标下开始。

《紫色》的女性主义解读

艾丽丝.沃克的代表作《紫色》,出色地继承前辈南方黑人女性文学的优秀传统,将主人公茜莉塑造为一个重要的象征,用来揭示黑人妇女所受的双重压迫,即:既受白人的压迫,又受黑人男人的奴役。由此种族歧视和性别歧视作为两条并列主线架构起这部颇具批判意味的现实主义小说,进而沃克就解决这两大社会问题做出了积极的开拓性探讨,提出了其著名的妇女主义思想。     

中国少数民族高级领导干部发展分析

新中国成立前,少数民族身份对少数民族干部进入中共中央委员会所起的作用不大,新中国成立后,民族的代表性是个重大的政治问题,民族代表性的作用越来越明显。但每一少数民族占中国总人口比例与其在中共中央委员会中所占的比例并不一致,只有那些少数民族特征明显、集中聚居在边疆省份的具有较大影响力和具有地缘政治因素的民族才最有机会当选。改革开放以来,吸收少数民族高级领导干部的过程和条件已与汉族高级领导干部越来越相似。     

Factors Associated with Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Victimization

This study explored factors associated with a lifetime history of domestic violence and sexual assault in a sample of welfare recipients in Illinois. Results indicate that childhood exposure to domestic violence is a risk factor for both sexual assault and domestic violence victimization, but that childhood physical abuse is only a risk factor for domestic violence. Increased education and employment skills and having more children were also risk factors for domestic violence victimization. Domestic violence was significantly associated with depression, while sexual assault was associated with low social support and a greater perceived need for mental health services. Frequent alcohol and drug use were not associated with either type of victimization. Research implications are discussed.
