“Getting the Word Out”: Policy Bloggers Use Their Soap Box to Make Change

This study examines policy bloggers, a subset of the political blogosphere. These bloggers focus on one policy area and attempt to “get the word out” concerning the importance of their policy area and policy recommendations. Information was gathered from in‐depth interviews with nine policy bloggers and content analysis of their blogs during the summer of 2006. Findings show that policy bloggers engage in six activities on their blog: filtering information, providing expertise, forming networks, gaining attention, framing arguments, and using windows of opportunity. They rarely urge their readers to partake in political activity. Nearly all received attention from major media sources, and some gained a significant daily readership. Despite these victories, their blogs were primarily labors of love, bringing in little money or professional rewards.     

妇女参政行为与政治行为文明

政治行为文明是政治文明的外化,政治文明最终通过政治行为文明来体现。迄今为止,人类的政治行为文明主要体现着男性的政治权力,近代妇女参政行为的崛起对政治行为文明起到新的规范作用,即革新政治行为的内容,调节政治行为中男性与女性的力量对比,建立和谐的政治行为环境和氛围,影响和改变政治行为的发展方向。

Explaining the Politics of Recognition of Ethnic Diversity and Indigenous Peoples' Rights in Oaxaca, Mexico

A 'politics of recognition'– a process of political reform intended to recognise formally cultural diversity and indigenous peoples' rights – has developed in Mexico, both at the federal and at the state levels, since the early 1990s. The case of the state of Oaxaca stands out in this respect – the local constitution and nearly a dozen secondary laws were reformed during the 1990s, resulting in the conformation of the most comprehensive multicultural framework in Mexico. In this article, I attempt to explain the emergence and the particular development of Oaxaca's unique politics of recognition. Following an explanatory framework proposed by Donna Lee Van Cott, I conclude that the recognition agenda emerged in Oaxaca as legitimacy and governability was put under strain. In addition, I conclude that the (by Mexican standards) rapid and broad fashion in which it developed can be explained on the bases of the severity of the threats to governability and of the capacity of indigenous actors to influence the decision‐making process and form alliances with key political actors – i.e. the state governors.     

孙中山民权主义与当代社会主义民主政治

以孙中山民权主义为旗帜,辛亥革命推动中国迈出了从传统权力社会向现代民主社会转型的第一步.今天我们对其予以重新审视,可以看到孙中山民权主义理论与实践对于当今中国政治民主的发展,不仅是重要的思想资源,而且具有强烈的现实启示:在目标上,建设现代政治文明应是一种现实追求,而不是遥远理想;在内容上,应接受国际社会具有普遍性的治理模式,对一向被视为神圣不可动摇的"议行合一制",应予以重新研究;在路径上,推进民主政治,应认同必要的政治妥协,采取和平渐进方式,而摈弃"不断革命"的激进主义.     

全面建设小康社会与妇女参政

全面建设小康社会的具体目标涵盖了妇女发展纲要的主要目标,妇女参政是全面建设小康社会的重要组成部分;而全面建设小康社会目标的实现,又可以为妇女发展提供更大的空间,为妇女参政创造更加良好的条件.目前,我国的妇女参政状况还不能适应全面建设小康社会的需要,因此必须采取可行性对策以改变这种状况.     

利益衡平：中国西部地区生态建设的法理逻辑

文章认为 ,利益冲突乃是中国西部生态环境及自然资源保护不力的症结所在。故在西部环境法治建设中 ,应通过建立健全补偿制度、制定有效的财政平衡政策、公正处理环境公害案件、建立环境侵权责任保险制度等利益平衡机制来充分调动各类利益主体保护西部生态环境和自然资源的积极性和主动性 ,并预防和化解纠纷。在实践层面 ,这一价值取向往往受到政治逻辑的制约。     

Cultural Politics, Communal Resistance and Identity in Andean Irrigation Development

This article uses two case studies to illustrate how Andean irrigation development and management emerges from a hybrid mix of local community rules and the changing political forms and ideological forces of hegemonic states. Some indigenous water-control institutions are with us today because they were consonant with the extractive purposes of local elites and Inca, Spanish and post‐independence Republican states. These states often appropriated and standardised local water-management rules, rights and rituals in order to gain control over the surplus produced by these irrigation systems. However, as we show in the case of two communities in Ecuador and Peru, many of these same institutions are reappropriated and redirected by local communities to counteract both classic 'exclusion-oriented' and modern 'inclusion-oriented' water and identity politics. In this way, they resist subordination, discrimination and the control of local water management by rural elites or state actors.
