A Network Perspective on Negotiation: What Is New and Why It Matters

The resources that individual negotiators need to solve their problems are not available in a single, concentrated form, and they are certainly not available only within an isolated dyad itself. Instead, the necessary resources are widely dispersed among many actors within networks of business relationships. The best deal is unlikely to be fixed or predetermined, but is rather the outcome of long and time‐consuming negotiations that will then affect further negotiations. In this article, I describe a network perspective on negotiation that considers the relevance and impact of three phenomena that I call (1) vast connectivity, (2) multiple constitutions, and (3) ongoing consent. I further illustrate the applicability of these three factors using examples of real‐life negotiations.     

“And focused upon victims’ needs”: towards an assessment of the victim-friendly principles of restorative justice practice

Scholars and policy-makers typically laud restorative justice as being ‘victim-friendly’ in its rules and practices. High levels of victim satisfaction with its outcomes are put forward to substantiate this claim. However, there has been little research that engages with the constitutive role of restorative justice in shaping conceptions of identities, practices and needs. To address this gap, this article develops an analytic framework through which to assess the victim-friendly approach of restorative justice processes across social and legal contexts. In so doing, it engages with three key elements of restorative justice processes: firstly, how this justice approach conceives victims; secondly, how it shapes its practices (and not just outcomes) to address their concerns; and thirdly, how it responds to individual needs. The paper argues that engagement with the constitutive processes can bring a fresh perspective to the relationship between victims and restorative justice.     

生产力标准的道德哲学含义

生产力标准在道德哲学层面上,不仅体现了以社会为本位、以人民幸福为终极目标的功利主义原则,而且体现了以物质文明为基础、以精神文明为灵魂的社会进步的综合价值取向;不仅体现了效率与公平相统一的社会主义利益关系体系的客观要求,而且体现了以人为本、全面发展的社会主义人道主义精神和人类自我完善的主体性特征。     

Public affairs,issue management and political strategy: methodological issues that count — a different view

In the preceding article, Doug Schuler makes two challenges to scholars in the areas of public affairs, issues management and corporate political strategies to advance the state of empirical knowledge: (1) to make use of more sophisticated methodology, and (2) to adopt a grand theory to guide our empirical efforts. This paper is a commentary on these challenges. In it, I agree that our field of inquiry requires additional sophistication in methods, measures and statistical tools. However, I disagree that a grand theory would aid us in advancing our field. Instead, I propose that advancement is more likely to occur with the acceptance of a common dependent variable to guide our efforts. I propose that until we agree why we study what we do, we will have difficulty building a coherent stream of knowledge that speaks to the managerial audience. I advocate adopting firm performance as our ultimate dependent variable and defining our area of inquiry as ‘What makes some firms outperform others in the nonmarket environment?’ and ultimately, ‘How does non‐market performance affect overall firm performance?’ Copyright © 2001 Henry Stewart Publications     

Transpersonal consciousness in elicitive teaching

ABSTRACT

In this article I explore the role of transpersonal consciousness in Peace Education. Following the framework of transrational peace philosophy, I discuss the dynamics between the spiritual and policitary layers and their relevance in preparing for elicitive teaching, curriculum design, and developing pedagogical approaches. I use my personal experiences in elicitive peace education to elucidate opportunities for the practical application of transpersonal consciousness in the classroom. This article concludes that in Peace Education, engaging with the transpersonal layer supports deeper transformations within and beyond the classroom that includes shifting of personal awareness and deepening of perspectives, as well as the capacity for the group to become a resource for learning.     

结果无价值初论

立足于规范评价的行为无价值与奠基于法益判断的结果无价值的对立及其争执,在大陆法系刑法理论中不仅关系着违法性的评判,而且对犯罪论体系的建构亦具基础性价值,甚至已然超越了违法性领域,嵌入到整个刑法体系、刑法规范及刑法理念之中。中国学界急需在引介评鉴的基础之上进行深入研究。在全球化趋势及当今中国法治化征程中,结果无价值的提倡对于力避刑法中的泛道德主义倾向、有效平衡人权保障和社会保护机能,以及重构中国的犯罪构成理论体系,都具有相当影响。     

马克思《博士论文》与恩格斯《谢林和启示》之比较

<谢林和启示>时期的恩格斯与<博士论文>时期的马克思并不相识,但他们却不约而同地相继提出了唯物主义自我意识哲学,体现了二人令人惊异的共同之处;另一方面,<谢林和启示>与<博士论文>在思想上也存在一些细小的差别.总体来看,青年马克思与青年恩格斯在哲学思想方面是"大同小异".     

论中国共产党执政理念的三次转换——从斗争哲学、发展哲学到和谐哲学

中国共产党在60年的执政过程中相继形成了三种执政理念,即毛泽东的斗争哲学执政理念、邓小平的发展哲学执政理念和新时期的和谐哲学执政理念。中国共产党三次执政理念的转换,都是依据国内外客观实际的变化不断解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进的结果。     

我国违宪审查启动机制的方案设计

违宪审查程序的启动是整个违宪审查活动的起点。我国立法法规定了对行政法规、地方性法规、自治条例和单行条例提起违宪审查的启动机制,但对生活中大量违宪的其他规范性和非规范性文件以及行为没有规定如何启动违宪审查程序。我们可以借鉴国外有益的做法,制定出多种符合我国国情的违宪审查程序的启动机制,完善我国的违宪审查制度。
