建筑业“面心实”活动应重在满足青年职工和青年农民工的实际需求

青年职工与青年农民工，现已成为各建筑项目的主体力量。前者渴望享受带薪休假，渴望扩大交友圈子，渴望解决婚恋问题，渴望得到与领导直接交流的机会，渴望及时获知与企业发展和个人成长相关的信息，渴望参加新颖、活泼、高雅的文化活动；后者则渴望获得较充分的专业培训，渴望得到参加社会活动的机会，夫妻同在工地打工的还渴望能与配偶住在一起。“面心实”活动就应着力解决他们这类实际需求。     

公司资本信用悖论命题下的解读与思考

当目前公司法学理与立法在频频质疑坚持＂公司以资本为信＂的观念成为主流的立法指引时,傅穹教授首次提出了公司资本信用悖论这一命题。通过对这一命题的解读,不难发现具有合理性。这一命题对传统的法定资本制和资本三原则的正当性提出了严峻的挑战和质疑,也迫使学者对公司资本制的制度成因和理论假定进行反思和检验。     

中国古代监察制度的启示与悖论——以《中国廉政史鉴》典章制度卷为视角

通过对《中国廉政史鉴》典章制度卷的梳理,我们可以看到中国古代监察制度表现出来的几个特点:监察权是治权之权,监察官是治官之官;监察与权力相伴而生;监察权是耳目之寄;国家要培养监察官的锐气;监察官有特殊的任职要求;监察必须保持充分独立。同时,我们也发现,中国古代监察制度依靠权力集中来制约权力,注定就是一个悖论,只要分权和民主还未得到启蒙,这个悖论就难以克服。了解这些,对于进一步完善当前的监察制度具有一定的启发意义。     

Governance by Proxy: A Comparative Policy Analysis of the Mainstreaming of Immigrant Integration Governance

Abstract

This paper assesses mainstreaming as a governance strategy that potentially addresses the call for a more integral governance response to wicked policy problems. Our comparative qualitative policy analysis of the mainstreaming of immigrant integration governance contributes to the governance and mainstreaming literature by emphasizing the importance of strong horizontal and vertical coordination mechanisms and the distinction between universal and proxy targeting in mainstreaming. Although policy programmes indeed seem to broaden to a universal mainstreamed approach, in practice they often operate by “proxy”. Furthermore, horizontal coordination structures tend to be weak or not in place at all, again obstructing the embedding of immigrant integration as a mainstreamed cross-cutting governance issue.     

农民工劳动权益保护制度的法律构建

农民工这一特殊社会群体，已成为支撑我国工业化发展的重要力量。但现行法律体系对其合法权益保护力度并不够。平等法治理念的缺失、城乡二元制度的存在等，造成其合法权益屡遭侵害。因此必须在平等就业权、劳动条件权、社会保障权诸方面，加强农民工劳动权益保护制度的法律构建。     

律师见证制度中的两大悖论

律师见证是指律师接受双方当事人的委托，以律师事务所的名义对民事法律行为的真实性、合法性进行证明和监督的一项活动。它旨在实现法律正义，然而，笔者发现该制度在设计与实际运行中存在两大悖论，即主观与客观的悖论和初衷与实效的悖论，致使该制度带有不客观、不公正的天性，并陡增处理民事官司的复杂性。因此，笔者认为封这一制度的期待应是“到此为止”。

Strengthening Intergenerational/InterculturalTies in Immigrant Families (SITIF)

Abstract

Intergenerational/intercultural conflict is a significant stressor in immigrant families that occurs because of differential acculturation between migrant parents and their children. In spite of its negative mental health consequences, few empirically tested interventions address this problem. Strengthening Intergenerational/Intercultural Ties in Immigrant Families (SITIF) is a culturally-sensitive, community based intervention that aims to strengthen the intergenerational relationship. It promotes immigrant parents' emotional awareness and empathy for their children's experiences, cognitive knowledge and understanding of differences between their native and American cultures, and teaches behavioral parenting skills with the objective of enhancing intergenerational intimacy. SITIF was tested with a group of 16 middle class and 14 working class immigrant Chinese parents. Using objective and subjective assessment tools, the findings provide empirical support for SFTiF's effectiveness in enhancing parenting skills and strengthening the inter-generational relationship in immigrant Chinese American families.     

A Framework for Visualizing the Process of Immigrant Absorption

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a schematic framework to assist in the visualization of the goals and processes involved in the absorption of immigrants. It is intended to help those engaged in working with immigrants to individualize persons and groups of immigrants in terms of various attitudes, values and behaviors, and to determine the goals, models and time-frames suitable for strengthening, and/or supporting and/or changing these aspects. The inter-relationship among some of the aspects is examined, and the paper includes examples of absorption, melting-pot and cultural-pluralism in various countries.     

Irregular migration and democracy: the case for inclusion

This article examines the democratic status of irregular immigrants from the vantage point of different models of democratic inclusion. The argument developed is that irregular immigrants are in fact members of the democratic state by virtue of being subjected to the legally binding norms in the territory of the state. The extension of the vote and other political rights to irregular immigrants nevertheless remains problematic due to their ‘illegal’ status. Because this status follows from the restrictive border policies implemented by most contemporary states, it shows that the ideal of democratic inclusion is scarcely reconcilable with a policy of restrictive cross-border movement. The conclusion defended in the article is that the interest in keeping borders restricted reduces the prospects for democratic inclusion in contemporary states.
