Local Politics and Depolitisation in Chile

Abstract— This study focuses on the consequences at the local level of decentralisation and state disengagement policies in Chile. We proceed in two stages. First, we analyse whether the nature of urban collective goods and services has changed from political to economic. Next, we study the effect of these policies on community/ authority relations, and more broadly, on local politics. A case study of the city of Conception serves to explore our questions. We conclude that the local community has adapted to the economic nature of collective goods and has developed the necessary organisation, technical and leadership skills. Power politics however have not disappeared but are now in higher institutional levels. Politicians do not seem to have followed the trend and thus have still to open to democratic participation and legitimate representation as expressed by the citizens' aggregated interests.

‘Yong lads of very good capacitie.’ Christopher and Cosmus,Anglo-Japanese pioneers

Abstract

On 12 November 1588 two young Japanese men, known to posterity only by their English names Christopher and Cosmus, arrived in London with Thomas Cavendish, who had just completed the third known circumnavigation of the globe. Sources described them as intelligent and literate in Japanese, but also able to speak English, and hence they were consulted and celebrated by English scholars and courtiers; possibly also by Queen Elizabeth I. Three years later they attempted to sail with Thomas Cavendish for Japan via South America, but the English fleet failed to make it through the Strait of Magellan. Christopher and Cosmus almost definitely died on the voyage, along with most of their colleagues, although exactly where and when is not clear. This article attempts a research-based reconstruction of their lives and posits answers to outstanding questions, where did they come from in Japan, why were they on the Spanish galleon sailing to North America, and what was their legacy? It also looks at the aftermath, and later Anglo-Japanese relations.     

Rights by Fortune or Fight? Reexamining the Addition of Sex to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act

It is widely believed that the extension of protection against employment discrimination to women through Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (CRA) was a fluke, the product of an attempted “killer amendment” by civil rights opponents gone awry. My analysis challenges this conventional wisdom, showing that the coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats in support of the sex amendment to Title VII was consistent with broader patterns of support for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the early to mid‐20th century. In other words, support appears to have been sincere, not sophisticated—proponents preferred a CRA with the sex amendment to one without. I proceed to show that concern about the direct impact on women, and not simply the instrumental impact on labor, played an important role in motivating this support. But, I also find reason for caution in interpreting support for workplace rights as evidence of broad support for women's rights at this time.     

论陕甘宁边区的选举制度——兼论其在抗日民主政治建设中的作用

抗战时期,中国共产党在陕甘宁边区大力推进民主选举,推行普遍、平等、直接、无记名的选举原则,实行竞选和“三三制”选举政策,不仅有力推进了边区的民主政治建设,大大提高了中国共产党的威望,而且对全民抗战的发动和支持,对中国政治走向光明的前途都产生了重要影响。     

权威主义及其转型的理论分析

在现代政治学中,权威主义作为一个政治概念,有着不同的理解。作为当今世界实际存在的一种政治形态,权威主义实际上是指介乎极权政治与现代民主政治之间的一种过渡型的政治体制,它既有民主的成分,又有对集权的强制。权威主义一般产生于集权专制统治向民主政治过渡的国家,表现出过渡性、合法性、现代性、实用性等特征,它为经济发展提供稳定的局面,为向民主政治迈进打下了一定基础。政治发展的逻辑与现实决定着权威政治不会作为常态存续下去,应向民主政治转型。

The Other Side of the Coin: Reading the Politics of the 2008 Financial Tsunami

In the spring of 2009, long months after the September 2008 financial tsunami had begun its destructive journey around the financial machineries of the global system, the governing party of the United Kingdom, one of two countries whose financial centres had precipitated all the trouble, is still in place, notwithstanding the almost audible sound of a population tapping its collective foot as it awaits an electoral opportunity to wreak a measure of revenge. But the electorate is condemned to wait upon the convenience of the government and administrative machineries that are responsible for the debacle. This seems unreasonable. One might ask how is this possible and what—speculatively—could happen to improve matters; that is, one can ask how the elite's insulating machineries might be reduced in order to bring them more routinely within the reach of the judgements of the electorate.     

论刑法的政治品格

在现代社会里,政治体制、政治权力或政治体系不可避免地要同刑法发生一定的关联作用,并且为刑法注入了各自不同的政治特质,于是就形成刑法独特的政治品格。如果以边缘刑法学的视角对此展开分析,那么,刑法与民主政治、政治人物和政治形势之间的关系可以成为理论研判的对象。因为这些关系在互动的情态下能够真实地还原刑法在阶级社会里的本质属性,从而明确民主刑法所应有的政治品格,而这一切还将有助于拓展刑法学人的研究视野以及刑事立法者对刑法的科学定位。
