On Political Terror during the Soviet Expansion into Lithuania, 1918–1919

This article deals with a noticeable anomaly of Bolshevik expansion in Lithuania during 1918–1919: the refusal of the Soviet authorities to resort to terror to subdue the local population in order to export the world revolution. The author argues that the Soviets avoided political terror in Lithuania because they did not treat the Lithuanians as a nation capable of sustaining their own state. In fact, anti-Bolshevik forces employed more terror than the Bolsheviks in their attempt to drive out the Reds and uproot Lithuanian support for the Communist regime. The Lithuanian left-wing government of Mykolas Sle?evi?ius sought to contain its radicalized military and to preserve a soft-handed relationship with the local Bolshevik government.     

The limits of authoritarian solidarity: The Gulf monarchies and preserving authoritarian rule during the Arab Spring

Scholars have recently begun to examine how authoritarian rulers cooperate with each other in order to fend off popular challenges to their power. During the Arab Spring the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) supported fellow authoritarian regimes in some cases while backing opposition movements in others. Existing theoretical approaches fail to explain this variation. Advancing the study on authoritarian cooperation, this article develops a theoretical approach that sets out to explain how authoritarian regimes reach their decisions. Drawing on poliheuristic foreign policy analysis, it argues that perceptions of similarity serve as a filter for estimating threats to regime survival at home. If regimes perceive the situation in other countries as similar to their own, supporting other authoritarian regimes becomes the only acceptable strategy. In contrast, if perceptions of similarity are low, regimes also consider other options and evaluate their implications beyond the domestic political arena. Applying this framework to the example of the GCC states during the Arab Spring, the analysis reveals covariation between perceptions of similarity and threat among GCC regimes, on the one hand, and their strategies, on the other.     

协调者：周恩来在“文革”中的政治角色

将社会学中的角色理论引入政治学当中，对于我们研究某些政治问题具有重要的启发意义，在“文革”的特殊年代，周恩来的政治角色可以定义为协调者，协调者的政治角色本身的优势和局限性，决定了周恩来在文革期间的政治行为。这种角色使周恩来能对“文革”中的‘左’倾狂热起到协调缓冲作用的同时，却又限制了他发挥作用的范围和效果，在这个层面上，我们也就不难理解周恩来在“文革”当中表现出来的某些违心的政治行为。     

权利正当性后形而上学重建的困境——评哈贝马斯《在事实与规范之间》

文章意在解构哈贝马斯关于权利正当性重建的内在逻辑。乍看之下,哈贝马斯关于权利正当性的重建似乎有循环论证的嫌疑,哈贝马斯是通过生活世界这一概念的复杂性来克服这种嫌疑的,但也付出了理论逻辑不彻底的代价。文章从人称与正当化类型的关系入手,分析了哈贝马斯是如何克服这种嫌疑的。然后,对哈贝马斯的生活世界这一概念进行了批判。最后,指出了造成哈贝马斯理论困境的内在原因。     

我国司法改革之路探究

我国现阶段的司法改革有两个显著的特点,其一是注重宏观的理论研究而忽视具体的制度分析,其二是或多或少都带有一种急于近功的革命意识。于是渐进式的司法改良似乎成了中国司法改革的一剂良方。革命性的司法变革和渐进的制度改良之间并没有本质的区别,我国司法改革真正缺乏的是制度变革的正当性基础。因此,通过制度理性的构建,来制约人的行为理性就成了我国司法改革的必由之路。
