新媒体环境下党的群众工作方式创新探索——基于治理理论的视角

新媒体环境下党的群众工作方式受到挑战，一方面传统自上而下的信息传递方式与新媒体的特点不适应；另一方面在新媒体环境下仅依靠党的力量开展群众工作无法达到良好的效果。而治理与善治理论为新媒体环境下做好党的群众工作提供了一种创新的方式。首先，治理理论所主张的公众协商理念为党运用新媒体来加强党与群众的沟通协商、互动交流，鼓励群众积极参与公共事务指明了方向；其次，多中心治理理念引导党引入多元化的社会组织为做好群众工作共同努力；最后，管理善治理念引导党加强自身的建设，树立良好的形象，为党的群众工作奠定良好的基础。

Compared to what? Media-guided reference points and relative economic voting

The idea of the relative economy, or benchmarking economic voting, has been around for a long time. However, the choice of international benchmark(s) remains underspecified, especially in cross-national and time-series studies. This paper argues that the selection process of benchmark(s) should be guided by the theory suggesting that voters benchmark countries that are similar, familiar, and connected, and that media guide voters to appreciate these reference points. Using domestic media coverage from Lexis-Nexis spanning 22 languages, 29 democracies, and over 30 years, this research identifies the unique reference points across time and space. Analysis of this novel dataset shows that voters react strongly to relative economic performance when they make vote choices. Moreover, the benchmarking effects become more pronounced with highly educated populations, but are not affected by clarity of responsibility.

Negotiation and Nonviolent Action: Interacting in the World of Conflict

Negotiation and nonviolent action are arguably the two best methods humanity has developed for engaging constructively with conflict. Both have played central roles in helping manage or resolve seemingly intractable conflicts, sometimes sequentially and sometimes in tandem. But experts and practitioners in both fields often underestimate the relevance and effectiveness of the other. This article explores the interface between the fields of negotiation and nonviolent action, their mutual commitment to engage constructively with conflict, and the concern both methods share for leverage, power, and strategic preparation and action. After examining the shared linkages, this article highlights how the two fields have synergistic qualities when utilized together in the same conflict. Using examples from a diverse set of conflicts, the overlap explored in this article lays an important foundation for the future convergence of the two fields.

中国公民社会的兴起与应对

公民社会是指围绕共同的利益、目的和价值上的非强制性的集体行为。我国的公民社会随着改革开放的进程逐步孕育、发展、壮大。特别是进入新时期新阶段以来,我国公民社会迅速崛起,对经济、政治、文化、社会生活等方方面面产生了日益重大的影响。一方面,公民社会的发展,有助于确认个人的价值和公民的社会地位,推动中国的社会转型以及实现社会自治;但另一方面,公民社会的兴起,也给中国社会发展、党的执政建设等多个方面带来了前所未有的挑战。如何正确认识和积极应对公民社会在中国的兴起和发展,已成为当代中国现代化建设中的一个重大现实课题。     

Beyond norms: the incomplete de-securitisation of the Russian counterterrorism frame

This article analyses the tentative de-securitising move of the Russian counterterrorism frame under Medvedev’s presidency. It suggests that de-securitisation involves a normalisation process that articulates three main points: terrorism as a result of internal troubles, counterterrorism seen as a “positive process” and Islam not being stigmatised. It nevertheless shows that this process remains far from complete, given the embedding of framing into cultural and normative contexts that make security, integrity and sovereignty leading norms. On the contrary, the ambiguities that shape framing entail a (re-)securitisation of social and societal issues that were not previously directly related to the root causes of terrorism.     

大众传媒对大学生群体形象的建构

通过对系统抽样获得的近12年来关于"大学生"的3651条新闻报道样本进行内容分析,发现新闻媒体对大学生形象建构过程中,显露出较为明显的传媒歧视,即形象建构上的妖魔化,符号重组上的娱乐化以及话语规制上的边缘化。媒体在对大学生形象建过程中应重视自身的社会责任,还原大学生本真面目,并彰显传媒文明,坚守文本的真实性、真实的完整性以及价值的倾向性。     

Same law–same rights? Analyzing why Sweden's disability legislation failed to create equal rights in mental health

This article analyzed the apparent paradox of disability rights in Sweden. Despite strong welfare state traditions and stated Government ambitions to create generous statutory entitlements for all disabled people using a single, comprehensive Disability Act, psychiatric disabilities were principally excluded from the Disability Act's rights and provisions. The study focused on Sweden's Mental Health Reform and Disability Reform using governance perspectives that traced and analyzed the policy-processes of both reforms. Theoretically guided analytical frameworks were developed to help understand the divergent reform outcomes. The first focused on legislative arguments of regulatory specificity and legal enforcement mechanisms to consider whether the Disability Act was formulated in a manner that was easier to apply to certain disabilities. The second analyzed ideological arguments and the influence of Government political beliefs that signaled specific reform ‘visions’ to implementers and thereby influenced policy implementation. The main findings are that both perspectives matter as the dual influences of legislative and ideological differences tended to exclude mental health service users from the Act's generous disability rights. The overall conclusion was that while legislation was an important regulatory mechanism, the Government's underlying ideological reform vision was also an essential governance instrument that signaled Government intentions to implementing agencies and thus influenced the creation of enduring disability rights.
