作为一个偶然地区性事件的正当程序革命

沃伦1953年被任命为美国联邦最高法院大法官是一个普通的政治任命。正当程序革命是一个意外进入的时代。沃伦法院成员都是普通公民,而绝非圣贤。在美国深深的卷入越战的大背景下,美国国内兴起了浩大的民权运动。沃伦法院在刑事领域的正当程序革命和当时的时势互相借力,将六十年代演化为一个革命时代。中国刑事诉讼改革以正当程序革命为精神激励,圣化沃伦革命,意在矫枉过正,但可能带来逆向的反弹。

悲剧品格与精神生态

文学从来都是人学。人的精神性的存在一直是美学和文艺学的思想主题。悲剧是文学艺术的最高形态;悲剧理论是美学思想的重要组成部分。本文从悲剧起源、悲剧品格本质和中国悲剧文学缺失三个方面论证了悲剧品格能够完善人的精神性的存在,能够维持人的自然性、社会性、精神性的三角平衡,提出悲剧品格对于建立良好的精神生态系统不可或缺。     

从“两个文明”到“四个文明”的历史跨越

党的十七大报告首次将“建设生态文明”作为实现全面建设小康社会奋斗目标的新要求之一，要求“基本形成节约能源资源和保护生态环境的产业结构、增长方式、消费模式”，这是党建设和谐社会理念在生态与经济发展方面的升华。从十二大报告中提出的“两个文明”，到十六大的“三个文明”和十七大的“四个文明”，这是我们党关于社会主义理论与实践的又一次突破和发展。深刻认识从“两个文明”到“四个文明”历史跨越的必然性，对于深入理解加强生态文明建设和按照“四位一体”的要求全面建设小康社会有着重要的理论和实践意义。     

精神损害赔偿若干问题探讨

民事主体受到不法侵害而遭受精神痛苦和损失， 可以要求侵权人通过赔礼道歉、财产赔偿等方式进行救济和保护， 从而获得精神损害赔偿。根据社会伦理道德对精神损害实践赔偿法的基本要求， 反映精神损害本身固有的特征以及精神损害赔偿立法的科学性、准确性、前瞻性要求，精神损害赔偿应遵循抚慰为主、补偿为辅原则， 法官自由酌量原则和适当限制原则。其赔偿金的具体算定要制定相对统一的标准， 可参照定量法、概算法、参照法等计算方法。通过修改或增加 《民法通则》中相关精神损害赔偿的内容， 扩大损害赔偿的适用客体的范围， 对具体的赔偿标准作出规定， 不断完善我国的精神损害赔偿制度。

Two strategies for building a personal vote: Personalized representation in the UK and Denmark

Across parliamentary democracies, elected representatives constitute the link between citizens and government. MPs can connect with voters via the party label, or through personalized forms of representation, which is seen to be increasing in importance. However, scholars disagree on what explains variation in MPs' use of personalized representation strategies. In this article, we argue that politicians use different strategies to personalize the link between themselves and citizens: a constituency-oriented and a person-oriented strategy. To test our argument, we develop a new and novel dataset with behavioral measures of personalized representation. Using a content analyses of 698 British and Danish MPs’ personal websites, we demonstrate that the use of personalization strategies is conditional on the incentives MPs face in terms of electoral insecurity, candidate selection procedures, and the electoral context of the system. Our findings show that the level and type of personalized politics vary across political systems and may pose different types of challenges to party democracies.     

Institutional Arrangements and State and Local Financial Forecasting

Abstract

The articles in this symposium present various consequences that effectively result in changes from adopted budgets during the implementation phase, which derive from institutional structure. The institutional structures referred to include such attributes as internal policy, procedural methodology, longevity in office, and reward and incentive systems related to performance outcomes

For local governments, structural influences studied include changes in leadership in the executive and legislative branches, longevity in office of budget administrators, and differences related to mayor-council vs. council-manager forms of government. Internal policies reported on cover methodology used to forecast revenues such as quantitative methods versus informed judgment, budgetary controls and spending policy related to mandated spending beyond local government control, and procedures for benchmarking within the agency as well as with peer groups and professional standards.

Consortia of governments are referenced regarding performance evaluation as is the process for gaining consensus between the executive and legislative branches, including expert outside opinion. Other influences on performance outcomes reported on are those tied to the risk-reward system built in to the institutional structure, which includes risk tolerance of the individuals who make pension fund investments.
