协商民主制度与中国特色社会主义政治发展

健全社会主义协商民主制度，是党的十八大提出的一个重要新概念．是推进中国特色社会主义政治发展的战略谋划。协商民主的概念虽然提出于西方，但在涵义上与中国政治协商相通。提出健全社会主义协商民主制度，不仅具有中国意义，而且有着为人类政治文明提供世界经验的价值。民主是政治发展的核心问题，人民代表大会制度与多党合作和政治协商制度体现的选举民主与协商民主，构成我国社会主义民主的两种重要形式。在中国特色社会主义政治发展道路上，选举民主与协商民主都是不可或缺的重要资源．从一定意义上说，中国特色社会主义民主政治建设的更大优势在协商而不在选举。中国社会主义协商民主制度具有系统构造，其深刻性在于将协商民主从社会覆盖、工作向度、普遍要求和运作规范等方面得到提升．协商民主不再是一种单向度、窄渠道、小口径的实践形式，而成为社会政治生活和政治关系中具有全方位的制度系统和工作机制。协商民主作为一种形式载体，其政治生活的覆盖面、民意吸纳的包容性、参与范围的广泛性，需要得到有效的制度供给，需要形成规范运作的机制。

Canada and the Honduran Coup

The purpose of this article is to expose the part played by Canadian imperialism in Honduras before and after the military overthrow of democratically elected Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, on 28 June 2009. It draws attention to the neglected role of the Canadian state's efforts to protect the interests of Canadian capital in Honduras and Latin America more generally through the constant undermining of Zelaya's attempts to return to his legitimate office, and in the ultimate consolidation of the coup under Porfirio ‘Pepe’ Lobo in early 2010. The article simultaneously develops a critique of what has become the standard account of the Honduran coup of 2009. We show how Zelaya was neither a puppet of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, nor an autocrat seeking to entrench his power indefinitely through illegal constitutional reform when he was violently tossed out of government.     

Political Parties and Grassroots Clientelist Strategies in Urban Turkey: One Neighbourhood at a Time

Both principal Turkish political parties make extensive use of patron–client networks, but in very different ways. The CHP relies on competing local brokers and synchronous vote buying. The AKP is at the centre of a network of public and private funding turning social policy to clientelist ends. Socially anchored AKP activists link the party to voters, allowing it to target social assistance for political advantage and take credit for improvement in local conditions. The case presented in this paper provides a natural experiment suggesting that this distinction is an important explanation for the AKP’s electoral success in low-income urban areas.     

Development as recolonization: the political ecology of the Endosulphan disaster in Kasargod,India

This paper examines the Endosulphan pesticide disaster in Kasargod, Kerala, India. The paper argues that the pesticide disaster was the culmination of an agrarian modernization project implemented in the region by the state-owned Plantation Corporation of Kerala (PCK). An exploration of the political ecology of the disaster shows the recolonization of residents and nature by PCK through neocolonial forms of centralized and exclusionary spatial and resource control mechanisms. In this context, the paper questions the glorification of the “Kerala model” of development from the standpoints of environmental justice and resource rights, relying on the lived experiences of the people of Kasargod.
