关奇党员在人大中双重身份的思考

人大代表的党员身份与代表身份在本质上应该是统一的，但在具体实践中也存在不一致的现象。为此，应从讨论、决议的问题出发，确认其行使权利的身份；从行使权利主体出发，提高代表素质、独立思考能力以及“代表性”；从立法规范角度出发，建议立法明确党员人大代表的身份性质；从参政议政实效出发，逐步从兼职代表制向专职代表制过渡；从长远和整体利益出发，将党的领导与人民当家作主和谐统一起来。

Emerging technologies and problem definition uncertainty: The case of cybersecurity

For governments to regulate, they must first define the problem and decide which policymakers have the authority to make decisions. Technological development can disrupt the authority-allocation process by fostering uncertainty about which actors are responsible for making policy. This article examines the role that changing technology has played in the development of cybersecurity policy in the United States. New technologies have increased the type and scope of assets vulnerable to cyberthreats, and with them the number of governing units who can claim jurisdiction over cybersecurity-related issues. Uncertainty about the nature of the problem has led the U.S. Congress to rely heavily on bureaucratic witnesses and focus on how existing regulations can be brought to bear. Emerging technologies create regulatory challenges for governance not only through unforeseen consequences but through uncertainty over who can regulate. Fragmented authority can produce piecemeal responses and a reliance on existing frameworks that benefit regulated industries.

评中共"八大"对"中国道路"的探索--兼评西方学者对"中国道路"认识的误区

中西学者在对中国社会转换过程中的重大会议中共"八大"的评价上,看法相去甚远.中国学者认为"八大的召开,标志着中国共产党探索中国自己的建设社会主义的道路取得初步成果."八大的路线是中国共产党人探索中国道路的正确反映.而西方学者则认为八大是修改苏联模式的表现,其含义是八大没有超出苏联模式的框架,而不能称之为中国道路的探索.大跃进和人民公社化运动代替了从苏联引进的发展战略,因而是中国寻求自己道路的表现.本文探讨了"中国道路"的涵义,指出了西方学者在这一问题上认识的误区,同时论述了八大对中国道路探索的特点.     

State Policy and National Representation: Marijuana Politics in American Federalism

Members of Congress represent geographically demarcated districts embedded in subnational policy environments. Drawing on policy feedback literature and literature on congressional representation, I argue that, because of this institutional configuration, subnational policy adoption can affect national representation. More specifically, policy reforms in the states they represent can increase pressures members face from organized groups and individuals in their constituencies to promote aligned federal policies. Empirically, I examine the effects of state marijuana legalization. The inferential design leverages differences across the states in statewide citizen initiative institutions, which provides exogenous variation in legalization. Instrumental variables analysis indicates legalization influenced pro-marijuana bill sponsorship and roll calls in the 116th Congress. The evidence points to growing influence of industry in legalizing states—including the ability to mobilize employees and customers—as the key mechanism, thus underscoring the importance of a political economy perspective for studying interdependencies in American federalism.     

Sweet dreams are made of this: The need for narrowly tailored statutory protection for documented dreamers

The growing backlog of immigrant visa petitions and legal permanent resident adjustment applications is a harsh reality of the American dream. Dependent children of immigrants can wait decades for their parents' visas to become current, only to age out of dependent status before stepping foot on American soil. Dependent children of nonimmigrants seeking to become legal permanent residents age out before their parents' adjustment application is approved – leaving them at risk of removal. This Note proposes a temporary visa status for these dependents, allowing them to maintain legal status in America and remain with their parents.
