B. F. Skinner's utopian vision: behind and beyond walden two

This paper addresses B. F. Skinner's utopian vision for enhancing social justice and human well‐being as it was introduced in his 1948 novel, Walden Two. In the first part, we address the historical, intellectual, and social context that situates the book in the utopian genre, the critiques of its premises and practices, and the fate of intentional communities patterned on the book. In the second part, we review practices in Skinner's book that advance social justice and human well‐being under the themes of health, wealth, and wisdom, and then focus on contemporary practices that are the legacy of his vision. His vision was neither the a priori truth of a particular premise about human behavior or a necessary practice (blueprint) for an intentional community but rather the use of empirical methods to discover premises and practices that work to advance the health, wealth, and wisdom of individuals and survival of the culture.     

涉黑涉恶案件审判警务保障风险解析与防控

涉黑涉恶案件审判的特殊性决定了司法警察警务保障风险表现为:未能将被告人安全、及时押解至法院,未能对羁押待审被告人实施有效看守、管理,未能保障法庭的正常审判秩序和人员安全,未能规范执行警务。为减少涉黑涉恶案件审判警务保障风险,司法警察应树立预防为主、艺术决策、多举并进、以警为本的防控理念,并加强远程押解、院外审判看管和值庭、规范化执法风险的防控措施。

清末北京城市治理和治安立法样式的法理分析

清末北京城市治理和治安立法是依法治市，实现城市治理法治化的新尝试，可谓中国城市治理和治安法制模式的现代化启动。从法律文本分析入手，对清末北京城市治理法规的结构、渊源及其社会基础等相关问题在制度层面进行探讨，可以反映北京城市治理和社会治安法律制度的实际变迁。可以说，该时期的有关立法尝试是具有现代意义的城市法制建设活动，在推动北京城市治理初步迈向法制现代化的同时，也深刻影响了民国时期及其后来城市立法样式及法制现代化进程。     

Managing Power Transitions: Towards a 21st Century Concert of Powers

Power shifts and especially power transitions in the international system are often associated with (military) confl ict. Power Transition Theory (PTT) does offer an analysis of this phenomenon but no remedy. We suggest easing the tensions related to ongoing worldwide power shifts by introducing a new informal multilateral security governance institution, based on the idea of a concert of powers. The historical European Concert of the 19th century prevented the outbreak of great power wars for more than a generation by providing a cooperation framework, based on shared norms and common procedures. In this article we explore the possibility of utilizing a modernized concert of powers as a framework for managing the coming power shifts. In order to do so, we introduce two new elements in Power Transition Theory: (1) the importance of the (dis) satisfaction of the declining hegemon with the anticipated future order, and (2) a broader multilateral framework of major powers that overcomes the Power Transition Theory’s traditional bilateral “duel” situation. On this basis, institutionalized power transition management becomes possible. We then work out the norms, strengths and weaknesses of the historical concert and update it with a few new features that would be necessary for it to be successful in the 21st century.     

The first woman in the process of book production in Livonia: the case of Ursula Krüger and Daniel Hermann

I present the first case from the history of early modern Livonia, when a woman participated in the editing and publication of a printed book. Ursula Krüger, wife of Prussian–Livonian humanist Daniel Hermann, illustrates the wider perspective of non-aristocratic women’s activities involving book production in the geographical periphery of humanist culture, Riga, rather than in the heart of European humanism. Her story also illustrates the ability of women to collaborate as an editor, both as a learned woman who could compose Latin dedications and a businesswoman who could financially and organizationally engage in publishing books.

论检察权的配置

检察权的本质属性应界定为检察监督权,只有弄清楚检察权的本质属性,才能明确检察机关的职能定位。检察权的配置问题的研究,应当发轫于国家权力的配置的宏观层面,而落脚在检察内部权力体系的微观层面。检察改革应当遵循司法规律,不宜盲目创新求变。     

“县权公开”面临的困境及解决思路

“县权公开”对于加强党的执政能力，巩固党的执政基础，推动党内民主发展和防治县权腐败具有非常重要的价值。但当前“县权公开”改革仍然面临着困境，如怎么追究违犯规定后的责任、如何处理权威与公开的关系等。造成上述困境的原因是多方面的，既有体制制度方面的原因，也有领导干部个人方面的原因。要真正实现“县权公开”，还需要相关部门在建立健全权力运行制度、改革完善监督制度、规范约束县委书记权力、提高县级领导干部思想认识等方面下工夫。
