Introduction: studying political violence while indicted – against objectivity and detachment

ABSTRACT

Knowledge construction should seek to embrace empiricism – the deriving of knowledge from data and experience – while not confusing this with a false notion of objectivity. As a truly objective approach is not only difficult but likely impossible to establish, it obscures the burden placed upon social scientists by sociologist C. Wright Mills who advocated for the study of society in order to change it. This action-centric, emancipatory-focused approach is a hallmark of the critical turn in the investigation of political violence. Regardless of how neutral scholars and teachers may try to appear, what does it mean when our audience – our readers, colleagues and students – glimpse behind the curtain and begin to understand knowledge producers as three-dimensional political actors with subjectivities, positionalities and passions? Upon embarking on a multi-semester research and writing process with undergraduate students, what did it mean to begin such a relationship only hours after being released from federal custody, and how did my position vis-à-vis powerful juridical discourses shape our collaborative scholarship and the process of shared knowledge construction?     

劳动争议大调解制度与实践研究

调解能够比较及时有效地处理争议,使其化解于诉讼之前或之外.研究将劳动争议调解分为两类:一是“小调解”,二是大调解.大调解又分为一般大调解和特殊大调解.大调解的法理基础主要是劳动政策层面,由于在对其法定性问题的认识上分歧严重,使得大调解在学界和实践中都有很大争论并延伸到劳动争议中来.实践中已经出现了一些劳动争议之特殊大调...     

More than Writing on a Wall: Evaluating the Role that Codes of Ethics Play in Securing Accountability of Public Sector Decision‐Makers

This article argues that the essential factors of a public service code of ethics can be divided into five categories. These categories or principles are fairness, transparency, responsibility, efficiency and conflict of interest. These principles are identified in this article as being the basic elements of democratic accountability in relation to public sector decision‐making. The issues explored are not only the obstacles that the public service decision‐maker faces in internalising these principles but, also, the challenges for a pro‐active management in fostering such internalisation.     

对普遍伦理质疑的质疑——兼论从普遍伦理看道德信仰的根据

信仰的终极性决定了道德信仰的对象应当具有可普遍化的规范或价值.普遍伦理的诉求是重建道德信仰的前提,它既是经济和文化全球化时代发展的客观要求,又是对市场经济难以避免的道德相对主义的积极回应.求异避同的传统单向思维是质疑普遍伦理的方法论症结.

诉讼、人情与法治——现代法治视野中的诉讼人情化现象研究

通过诉讼程序严格依照法律规定解决社会纠纷是我国法治建设的一个重要内容。然而,在司法实践中因人情而不严格依照法律的规定作出判决或裁定的现象还在一定程度上存在。对我国的法治建设是一个重要的、应该正确认识并妥善解决的问题。通过分析当代社会中诉讼人情化这一现象,探讨其产生和存在的原因,提出解决这一问题的思路。
