State,Society and Markets in Argentina: The Political Economy of Neodesarrollismo under Néstor Kirchner, 2003–2007

The national Peronist social contract in Argentina has a long history rooted in syndicalism and populism. However, Menemismo in the 1990s, El Argentinazo in December 2001, and Kirchnerismo post crisis have all served to change the fundamental framework of the Argentine economy, the social underpinnings of that economy and how it intersects with global capital. This article is an attempt to identify the nature of Kirchner's administration through analysis of political economy, therefore seeking to facilitate a deeper understanding of the developmental nature and impact of the Kirchner administration of 2003–2007.     

Mediation and Culture: The Example of the ICC International Commercial Mediation Competition

The International Commercial Mediation Competition is organized by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris, which held the event for the eighth time in February 2013. As the competition has grown, participation has become more and more diverse and thus mediation and negotiation have become more and more cross‐cultural. This led the ICC to invite external research on culture at the competition in February 2011. In this article, I discuss this student competition, the external research project question, and the culture of the competition. I also identify some of the further cultural issues raised by referring to relevant research on conflict and mediation across cultures, and conclude with some thoughts on how better to conceptualize the field of cross‐cultural mediation in terms of a systems approach.     

Decision‐making during international crises: A reexamination

The purpose of this research note is to reexamine the methods and codings of crisis decision‐making processes performed by Herek, Janis, and Huth in 1987, and thereby to discuss the role of the case survey method as a means to build theory in the study of foreign policy. The research reported here uses a somewhat different measure of decision‐making process quality and a slightly expanded list of data sources than were used by Herek and his colleagues. It reevaluates a subset of the cases explored in the previous study. This research note largely confirms the analysis of crisis decision‐making processes presented in the previous study, though it notes and discusses some discrepancies. Furthermore, this reexamination seeks to contribute to our understanding of crisis decision‐making processes by using a different conceptualization of decision‐making process quality and thus a different coding procedure.     

被拐卖人弱点与拐卖犯罪研究

心理困厄与现实困境、经济贫穷与精神贫困、家庭关系不谐与追求暴富、情感障碍与自身弱点、在逃避与追求中冒险、经济与市场的魔棍,或自己内心或外部环境使被拐卖人形成能被案犯所用的弱点,使其难于求助社会与实现自救,等等,这些形成了拐卖案件妇女所面临的现实境遇。她们在这境遇中与其买者相遇,成为买卖关系中的弱势群体,其纽带便是经济权利之弱。     

试论我国商业秘密的保护

在社会主义市场经济发展中,关于商业秘密的法律保护和自我保护问题日益显现,并越来越受到人们的关注。少数单位和个人以不正当手段窃取商业秘密不仅是对商业秘密权利人合法权益和社会主义市场经济正常秩序的严重损害,而且也极大地挫伤了商业秘密权利人的生产积极性。因此,要有效地保护商业秘密,必须了解商业秘密的定义、构成要件和特征,知悉商业秘密的法律保护方法,其中包括我国现行立法对于商业秘密保护的各种规定,同时,还应掌握对商业秘密法律保护有力补充的几种自我保护方法。     

NGO话语与民间妇女组织的自我认同

本文以西方主流NGO话语在本土的传播为路径,通过研究民间妇女组织的相关文献资料,归纳分析民间妇女组织领导者和参与者对自己组织的思考和社会角色定位,即他们的自我认同.分析认为,民间妇女组织自我认同在最近几年发生转变,即从关注妇女事业的民间妇女组织向关注公民社会发展的妇女NGO转变,这一转变与西方主流NGO话语在本土的系统传播密切相关.     

SELECTIVE INCAPACITATION,THREE STRIKES,AND THE PROBLEM OF AGING PRISON POPULATIONS: USING SIMULATION MODELING TO SEE THE FUTURE*

Research Summary: The growth of prison populations over the last three decades is a great source of concern for policy makers and observers. One mechanism by which this growth occurs is via sentencing reforms that extend length of stay for certain categories of offenders. This has the effect of aging prison populations, which is problematic for many reasons. Apart from the increased financial burdens entailed in caring for older prisoners, it is also important to consider the intent of reforms in evaluating them. Of late, sentencing reform has become increasingly focused on the selective incapacitation of dangerous offenders. Policies that have the effect of aging the prison population are problematic from this perspective due to the diminishing returns realized with respect to incapacitation as offenders age. Dynamic systems simulation analysis is employed to investigate the likely consequences of recent sentencing reforms that increase length of stay for some offenders. These analyses indicate that the effects of recent reforms may not be as dramatic as some observers have predicted, but they suggest that the consideration of alternatives to incarceration for elderly offenders is warranted from the standpoint of cost considerations as well as that of selective incapacitation. Policy Implications: The results indicate that California's Three Strikes law will not accelerate the rate of growth of the elderly prison population. However, even without increasing the proportional representation of elderly prisoners, the number of elderly prisoners is expected to grow substantially over the next three decades. These prisoners will strain criminal justice system resources while presenting little public safety threat. State criminal justice policy makers and their constituents should closely examine laws that impose very long stays without discretionary release, as these statutes may contribute to the production of elderly prisoners. This problem is particularly pronounced in Three Strikes and other habitual offender laws that use retrospective methods to identify habitual offenders. Additionally, the effects of reforms lengthening stay for some offenders must be considered in light of cumulative effects of sentencing reform resulting in changes to the demographic structure of the prison population overall. Dynamic systems simulation modeling is presented as a valuable policy‐making tool, as it allows the policy analyst to examine the potential impacts of laws in the absence of data suitable for conventional statistical analyses.

义利关系:历史性与现代性

在当代多元化、差异性的社会中,“义”的“私德”性质淡化,“公德”性质突显,其内涵已不再局限于个体之“道义”,而根本上吁求社会与制度之“正义”。构建当代转型社会的制度之“义”,以最终实现“义利统一”的道德机制,成为传统义利观转型与发展的现代性视域。
