Party nationalization following democratization: modelling change in turbulent times

Which political parties grow more or less statically nationalized in the immediate aftermath of a democratic transition? What accounts for these changes? This is the first broadly cross-national analysis of this dimension of stabilization of the democratic regime. It uses a sample of 64 moderate and large political parties from 19 countries in South Europe and Latin America. In the first stage of the analysis, I use growth curve models on panels of district-level, lower house, election results to test each party for changes in static nationalization. Results show that 41% of the cases grow more nationalized, about 22% grow less nationalized, and the rest show no evidence of change. Then, I test explanations of increasing static nationalization derived from (a) the competitive context; (b) the institutional context; and (c) the social structural context. I find that parties become more nationalized when (a) they are jointly programmatic and in government, and the party system is less fragmented; (b) the political system is centralized and a presidential election is concurrent; and (c) society is less ethnically fragmented. Finally, I confirm that more statically nationalized parties are associated with a higher quality of democracy.     

中国新型政党制度的治理意蕴

新中国成立七十年来,中国新型政党制度作为产生于中国土壤的一项基本政治制度,不断发展成熟。中国新型政党制度是极具中国特色的制度设计,也是国家治理体系的重要组成部分,其中国共产党领导下的"多党合作与政治协商"特征淡化了长久以来政党制度的"管理"倾向,凸显了"治理"特性。中国新型政党制度所具有的主体多元性、过程协商性和实践合作性等治理特征,使得多党合作的治理效能得以真正发挥,彰显了中国新型政党制度的优越性。

对邓小平理论创立过程的两点思考

邓小平在 1973年以前就已经在他的表象中形成了自己的关于什么是社会主义、什么是马克思主义 ,以及在我国如何建设社会主义的思想观念 ,《邓小平文选》第 2卷和第 3卷中的所有文章 ,构成了一个内容比较完备的思想体系 ,描绘了一幅建设有中国特色社会主义的壮丽画卷 ,因而那种认为邓小平理论是邓小平在我们党的十一届三中全会以后分阶段逐步创立起来的观点是不能成立的。     

Motives Driving the Creation of Professional and Business Associations: Evidence from Russia

ABSTRACT

Our knowledge of associations is scarce, requiring a multidisciplinary approach that has been rarely used to investigate this multifaceted phenomenon that cuts across the confines of a single discipline. This study investigates the motives that drive the founding of associations in the Russian context, analyzing original data and applying a mixed-methods research design. An empirical typology of motives is developed to obtain a more accurate range of time- and value-driven motives beyond what is currently understood. The findings shed light on the complexity and multidimensionality of the motivational factors driving the establishment of associations in a transitional context.     

明清"赶苗拓业"事件探究

在明清王朝统治的3个多世纪里,南方数省毗邻的武陵山及云贵高原东部,多次发生针对当地少数民族的“赶苗拓业”事件。“赶苗拓业”虽然不见于正史的记载,但却是包括明朝开国皇帝在内的封建王朝的统一行动,是统治阶级“平蛮”政策的实施。它给被剿杀、驱赶的相关民族带来了巨大灾难。并迫使苗族大规模西向迁徙,最终形成了今天的分布格局。
