After the Ukrainian crisis: Is there a place for Russia?

Revolutionary protests in Ukraine in winter 2014 resulted in the annexation of Crimea by Russia, and an anti-terrorist operation launched by Kiev in eastern Ukraine. What was a totally internal manifestation of displeasure with governmental policy transformed into an international security crisis. While Kiev considers it a Russian–Ukrainian conflict, Moscow perceives it as a Russian–West confrontation, claiming that the crisis was provoked by NATO’s desire to enlarge into the region where Russia’s vital interests lie. The article analyses the sources of the current Ukrainian–Russian conflict and looks into Russia’s place in post-crisis Ukraine. As history has shown, even those states which used to fight each other for centuries managed not only to find peace but to establish constructive relationships. Still, with the shift from material to ideological confrontation, there are fewer and fewer options for compromise.     

Class war-on-terror: counterterrorism,accumulation, crisis

This article discusses US counterterrorism from a class perspective. It sees counterterrorism as a state policy with differential effects on different social classes. In doing so, the article starts to address a lacuna in critical studies of counterterrorism, which tend to be rather structural and formal, thus ignoring the pertinence of counterterrorism to the field of social dynamics. To partly rectify this blind spot by addressing some class implications of counterterrorism, the article examines the effects of counterterrorism policy on capital accumulation and its social conditions. It notes that counterterrorism has different implications along class-lines: for dominant capital, it signifies appropriation of public money and direct participation in political decisions; for everyone else, it means material dispossession and political exclusion. Given that counterterrorism was developed between two crises of neoliberalism, the article distinguishes between economic crises, which tend to benefit capitalism, and political crises, which can be destructive, and suggests that counterterrorism is partly a restructuring of the neoliberal state so that it can manage recurring economic crises, while preventing their evolution into political ones.

台湾的认同危机和台独势力的发展

过去30年来,台湾民众的民族认同和台湾政府的国家认同危机的发展、台独势力的扩张以及民主的进程,虽促进了台湾社会的发展,同时也加剧了海峡两岸的矛盾和对立,并可能把台湾推向战争的灾难。台湾民众和台湾政府对面临的现实和可能要作出选择,最终解决台湾的认同危机。     

我国危机处置法的立法模式探讨

我国危机处置法存在重特别的危机立法、轻统一的危机立法,重实体、轻程序,重分散型的应急机制、轻整合型的应急机制,重封闭性的应急机制、轻开放性的应急机制等缺陷。危机处置法的目标模式应兼顾效率和保障公民权利。法体模式应是统一立法与单行立法相结合。制度模式应以危机的发生与发展过程和应对危机的机制为设计主线,主要包括危机状态的决定和宣布制度,实施制度,变更、撤销和终止制度,以及危机状态的信息预警制度,应急储备制度,协调制度和社会支持制度等。     

政府危机信息处理的必要性及其有效性分析

社会经济发展中的不确定性是随时存在的,重大危机事件是随机发生的。在危机来临时,在社会危机管理中,信息的重要性是显而易见的。本文在对危机和危机信息相关问题进行阐释的基础上,分析了政府危机信息处理的必要性和重要性,进而为政府危机信息的有效处理提供了相关的对策和建议。     

浅谈防范金融风险过程中社会信用的建立

市场经济是信用经济,社会信用制度的建设直接关系到社会经济秩序和金融的安全性。而我国自建国以来信用缺失现象严重,从人们的信用观念淡漠,到金融机构的不正当竞争,再到社会自律机制、信用监督机制、法律约束机制不健全,给整个金融体系带来了很大的金融风险。因此,如何树立信用观念,加大产权制度改革的力度,规范金融机构的行为,通过一系列规章制度的建设形成有效的信用约束机制,成为现阶段我国建立社会信用,防范金融风险的首要任务。     

传统发展理念的内在矛盾

传统发展理念由于其包含一系列内在矛盾而使自身陷入困境并导致了发展危机。这主要表现在:发展至上主义的迷醉及其对生存家园的遗忘;技术乐观主义的虚妄及其对有限理性的消失;人类中心主义的偏执及其对天人关系的僭越;消费享乐主义的滥觞及其对生态伦理的缺席。在揭示传统发展理念深层矛盾困境的同时,昭示当代人应自觉走出其设定的内部陷阱,从而为建构通向未来科学的发展观扫清理念上的障碍。     

“非典”紧催政府危机管理

政府危机管理是指在某些特殊的紧急情况下,政府出于国家安全、社会秩序或公共利益的需要,为摆脱公共管理领域发生的重大危机事件,而采取一系列果断措施的过程。一个完善的危机管理机制应该包括危机发生前的监测预警机制、危机发生后的快速反应机制、以及总结评估机制等环节。同时,政府危机管理还应注意建立健全相关组织机构,制订完善相关法律法规,强化政务公开,加大投入力度,严格责任追究制度等。     

Hostage-Taking in the Context of Domestic Violence: Some Case Examples

Initial reports of domestic violence are generally made to law enforcement officers who must respond and intervene. A subset of these episodes involves cases in which the victim, and, in many instances her child(ren), have been taken hostage by her husband or partner. Moreover, there are indications that the number of such incidents is growing. The purpose of this project was twofold: (1) to provide one of the first reports on the prevalence and characteristics of these events, and (2) to more closely analyze domestic crisis (hostage) situations using actual case examples. All information was obtained from the Hostage Barricade Database System (HOBAS) of the FBIs Crisis Negotiation Unit. HOBAS is a postincident information collection tool which stores historical data from law enforcement agencies across the nation on hostage/barricade incidents. An examination of this database yielded different types of domestic hostage-taking acts and outcomes (e.g., tactical vs. negotiated resolutions, survival vs. death/injury of perpetrator and/or victim[s]). Implications of the findings, for future crisis negotiation efforts directed toward nonviolent resolution of these high-risk critical incidents, are discussed.
