多元文化背景下的青少年教育

文化的多元化使各种文化冲突相继出现,从层面上看,主要是中西文化冲突、精英文化与大众文化冲突、主流文化与非主流文化冲突。这些冲突,对我国社会生活各个层面特别是青少年教育产生了不同程度的影响。文化冲突使青少年学生的价值观整合过程,往往不可避免地遇到矛盾和冲突,以致于部分学生出现了价值混乱、无所适从的感觉。要迎接多元文化的挑战,教育就必须拆除有形、无形的围墙,加强与社会的联系；必须改变自命清高、孤芳自赏的心态,承担起应有的文化职责。具体说来,当前至少应该做好以下工作：1．树立多文化教育观。2．坚持客观分析、兼容并蓄。3．直面文化冲突,采取切实措施进行积极应对。     

也论解决海峡两岸民商事法律冲突的模式

复合法域国家解决区际民商事法律冲突采用不同的模式。对于中国区际民商事法律冲突的解决,学者们也提出不同的主张。但是,这些模式是否适合于解决海峡两岸的民商事法律冲突问题,还需进一步分析与探讨。两岸的民商事法律冲突是特殊的区际法律冲突,由于这种冲突具有阶段性与渐进性并存的特点,因此,冲突的解决不可能一步到位,也必须采用阶段性、渐进性的措施。不论理论上存在什么缺陷或不足,从务实、需要的角度考虑,海峡两岸适用各自的区际冲突法或类推适用各自的国际私法解决相互间法律适用上的冲突,是现阶段最适宜的方法。     

社会冲突理论及其对我国构建和谐社会的启示

未决诉讼中民事管辖权的冲突与协调

当同一案件由不同国家的法院分别受理的时候,就会产生管辖权的冲突。为解决未决诉讼中管辖权的冲突,世界各国采取了不同的方法,主要有先受理法院管辖、发布外国法院禁诉令、中止内国诉讼、当事人选择审判法院、前后诉继续进行等。根据国际法原理和民事诉讼法基本理论,对各种方法的利弊进行了分析,认为解决未决诉讼中管辖权冲突的方法应该采用先受理法院管辖原则,并辅之以专属管辖原则和不方便法院原则。

论中国区际法律冲突

当前,中国各法域之间的法律冲突应属于区际法律冲突,结合其特点,用实体法规则方法与冲突法规则方法解决中国区际法律冲突各有其利弊和可能性,但中国目前应由各个法域自行制定各自的区际冲突法规则。     

Intersectoral differences in public affairs: the duty of public reporting in public administration

Public reporting is a requirement for public affairs practitioners in public administration because of the democratic context in which government operates. By reporting to the public‐at‐large on agency activities, government agencies contributed to an informed citizenry, the essential foundation of a democracy. For public affairs in business administration and non‐profit administration, public reporting is desirable rather than mandatory. Public reporting was traditionally accomplished indirectly, through news media coverage of government. However, recent research suggests a diminution of interest by the media in fulfilling its role as an instrument of democracy. This means that the public reporting obligation of public affairs professionals in public administration needs to shift to direct reporting, through such products as annual reports, newsletters, TV programmes, Internet websites etc. Copyright © 2002 Henry Stewart Publications.     

The judiciary and post-election conflict resolution and democratic consolidation in Ghana’s Fourth Republic

ABSTRACT

In recent times most elections in Africa have been fraught with post-elections conflicts that have had dire consequences on citizens. Kenya, Ivory Coast and Zimbabwe are few of these cases. This makes post-election conflict resolution a very important aspect of the electoral process deserving enormous attention. However, extant literature has not accorded it the needed attention. It is as a result of this, that this study investigates the nature of post-election conflict resolution in Ghana’s Fourth Republic. The study, based on a qualitative case study approach, found among others that, the Courts have been instrumental in consolidating democracy in Ghana, and stakeholders are devotedly operating within the legal framework governing elections, despite logistical, law enforcement and justice delivery challenges. The study being conscious of the progress made over the years concludes that, where democratic institutions are consolidating, the use of unconventional means to resolve conflicts is usually not an option.
