Industrial Relations and Justice Ideologies in the Firm: A Justice-Based Explanation of Works Council Effectiveness

This paper investigates why the effectiveness of works councils varies across firms. Drawing on a large body of literature on justice in organizations, and on the basis of the premise of methodological individualism, we present the groundwork for a justice-based theory of workplace codetermination. The theory focuses on workers' attitudes toward justice in organizations, the structural reasons behind these attitudes, and their consequences for the effectiveness of codetermination. Results from a qualitative employee survey in four German firms provide first empirical support for the theory presented.

The Family Court–Based Stepping Stones Model of Triage: Some Concerns About Safety,Process, and Objectives*

This article critically evaluates the recommendation that family court–based mandatory mediation incorporated in a tiered service delivery model be replaced by a mandatory screening process incorporated in a stepping stones triage model in which couples are matched with an appropriate conflict resolution proceeding. My conclusion is that implementation of this recommendation should be made contingent upon the willingness of its advocates to address concerns with the safety, process, and objectives as described herein.

Key Points for the Family Court Community:
• Domestic violence screening should be incorporated in the larger triadic process of screening–risk assessment–risk management.
• A Safety First Rule should be followed in screening couples into or out of conflict resolution proceedings.
• Screening decisions must be grounded in an empirically validated method of matching couples with appropriate conflict resolution proceedings.
• Causal mechanisms must be included as items in any risk assessment instrument used in family courts.

     

Intervention at Risk: The Vicious Cycle of Distance and Danger in Mali and Afghanistan

In crisis-hit countries, intensive risk management increasingly characterizes the presence of international interveners, with measures ranging from fortified compounds to ‘remote programming’. This article investigates the global drive for ‘security’ from an ethnographic perspective, focusing on Afghanistan and Mali. By deploying the concepts of distance and proximity, the article shows how frontline ‘outsourcing’ and bunkering have generated an unequal ‘risk economy’ while distancing interveners from local society in a trend that itself generates novel risks. To conclude, the article asks whether alternative forms of proximity may help to break the vicious cycle of danger and distance at work in today’s crisis zones.     

农村土地承包经营权流转中赔偿责任机制研究

政府和集体组织经常对市场主体的交易行为作出具有一定事实上强制性的引导,在农地流转领域,类似的违法性引导时有发生,但目前的民事和行政诉讼难以将政府和集体组织纳入到被引导方发起的索赔诉讼中,本文建议立法通过建立经济法责任的方式,在一次诉讼中集中化解各方主体的利益纠纷,不仅保护农民等市场主体的利益,强化了政府等单位的市场引导行为的合法性意识,而且也降低诉讼成本,防止群体性事件的发生。     

社会管理创新中的社会自治

社会管理创新中的社会自治是经济社会发展的必然要求。对社会自治认识的局限性、长期的计划经济条件下的政府管理体制的惯性思维和社会自治组织的自身缺陷是社会自治面临的障碍。促进社会自治需要政府向社会自治组织放权放手和培育、扶持社会自治组织以及建立健全相关的制度和法律。
