法制新闻:现实的价值与存在的问题

本文认为,法制新闻有重要的、现实的积极价值:由于宣教目的的潜在性,可以有效消除受传者的逆反心理,在潜移默化中对公众实现法制宣教价值。同时,法制新闻还有另外三个积极价值:1.舆论监督价值;2.社会预警价值;3.法律服务价值。当然,在现实社会生活中,由于种种原因所致,法制新闻不免存在某些负面效应。我们必须扬长避短,充分发挥法制新闻在我国市场经济法制建设中的应有作用。     

本位与突破——如何当好宣教科副科长的实践与思考

伴随着社会环境的改变和监狱工作的发展，宣传教育（以下简称宣教）工作与以前相比，呈现明显的不同。在这种背景下，监狱宣教科副科长如何张扬自己的特色，而不致于成为科长的影子或被“大政工”淹没，是每一个副科长都要思索和面对的问题。基于此，必须坚持“本分”，敢于“突破”，才能实现“你中有我”，合而不同．助推监狱宣教工作快速健康发展。     

论认定恐怖主义组织之机构模式

从法律依据和认定主体的角度来分类,认定恐怖主义组织的机构模式主要有两种：一是司法认定模式;二是行政认定模式。前者是最基本的认定模式,后者是对前者的有益补充。中国显然采取行政认定模式作为有益的补充。参照外国的先进经验,中国关于恐怖主义组织的行政认定模式需在两个方面加以改进：一是构建严格的认定程序,要体现出认定程序的高法律层次性、详细性、全面性和正当性;二是增加司法审查程序,以保证认定行为的合法性与准确性。

Mao Zedond’s Xunwu Country Report of 1930: A Long-lost Document from a Critical Year in Jiangxi Reappears

From 1922 to 1927, an alliance between the Guomindang (GMD) and the Soviet Communists advanced a mass-media campaign aimed at wresting control from a regime dominated by warlords and unifying the Chinese nation. Soviet-inspired propaganda posters then flourished during the Northern Expedition as a novel approach to engage with the masses and facilitate the state's policy. By analyzing the symbolic expressions in these political images, this paper examines the differences and similarities between the earlier printed political images and later propaganda posters and argues that both the GMD and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regimes relied on propaganda networks and personality cults in order to maintain power. In the aftermath of the Qing dynasty, China endured instability and turmoil as warlords and political factions predominated. By the time of the Northern Expedition, the leaders of the GMD and CCP had become convinced that only rigid party organization with military discipline could achieve the goal of national unity.     

Exploring the Terrorist Nature of Political Assassinations: A Reinterpretation of the Orsini Attentat

This paper reassesses the suggestion, advanced among others by David George, that the 1858 failed attentat by the Italian patriot Felice Orsini against Napoleon III can be considered as a paradigmatic instance of “terrorist assassination.” Drawing on a new interpretation of the acts of Orsini's trial, the paper argues that Orsini's motivations were to a large degree “idiosyncratic”; however, it also discusses evidence suggesting that the significant collateral damage caused by the attack was, in Orsini's mind, one of the aims of the action and cannot be portrayed as unintended.     

EU's Fight Against Terrorist Finances: Internal Shortcomings and Unsuitable External Models

This article offers an analysis of the European Union's (EU) efforts in the fight against terrorist finances. Following the 9/11 attacks, the EU has adopted the relevant United Nations counterterrorism resolutions as well as the special recommendations of Financial Action Task Force. In addition, the EU has developed its own measures spanning across all of its three pillars. There is, however, a cause for concern that some of these measures have not been properly implemented, while others have been criticized on legal, transparency, legitimacy, and efficiency grounds. These shortcomings are not only due to EU's own internal obstacles, but also result from the EU's uncritical adoption of the prevailing smart sanctions and money-laundering regimes, which are based on a number of unwarranted assumptions that do not reflect the nature of contemporary terrorist threats in Europe.     

The Strength of Weak Terrorist Ties

The current age of technology, mass communication, and globalization makes networks analysis an especially useful tool for understanding cell-based terrorism. Some concepts from traditional networks analysis may be especially relevant. The Strength of Weak Ties hypothesis (SWT) is particularly promising and will be used here to demonstrate the usability of traditional networks analysis for studying modern terrorism. The findings suggest that the strength of weak terrorist ties may improve Al Qaeda's operational capabilities despite the group's decentralization following the U.S.-led military campaign in Afghanistan beginning in 2001.     

Doctrines for Jihadi Terrorist Training

Based on an in-depth review of jihadi discourse on terrorist training and preparation, this article finds considerable differences between leading jihadi theorists on issues such as how training should be defined, its ultimate purpose, and where and how to prepare jihadi fighters. However, they all agree on the importance of training, and that ideological indoctrination and spiritual preparation should take precedence over physical and military training. The preparatory process must produce battle-hardened, martyrdom-seeking fighters, whose primary strength lies in their spiritual determination, their patience, and a willingess to employ savagery against the enemy.
