Partisan Development in Post-Soviet Ukraine

ABSTRACT

The development of mass partisanship and party identification in post-Soviet societies is a controversial subject of scholarly research. One prevalent view argues that post-Soviet citizens are distrustful of parties and that it will take generations for party identification to appear in these societies. Others argue that partisanship is emerging as a result of citizens perceiving meaningful differences between the parties. If party identification is forming, partisanship should be relatively stable across time at the individual level. This study takes a rare look at 1999 panel data from Ukraine to determine the degree of partisan stability. The findings demonstrate that meaningful party identification appears to be emerging for a significant proportion of the population due to political information and this partisanship is influencing election decision making among Ukrainian voters.     

Formal and Informal Volunteering in a Nordic Context: The Case of Denmark

This article compares three different forms of volunteering: formal volunteering which is typically carried out in formalized organizations; informal practical help which is most often provided in a face-to-face context and requires the giving of time; and economic assistance which requires neither the co-presence of actors nor the giving of time. The different nature and structuring of these formal and informal ways of contributing to society suggest that they require different resources. Grounded in sociological theory we argue that three sets of factors are particularly relevant for explaining volunteering: personal or ‘human capital’ factors, social network resources, and civic values. We test in a multivariate analysis how various indicators of these personal and social resources relate to the different forms of volunteering. The study relies on a comprehensive survey of the Danish adult population. The findings, therefore, are interpreted in the light of this particular institutional environment which forms the backdrop for individual choices about volunteering. We find that the different forms of formal and informal volunteering seem to form a continuum of civic engagement going from the most public to the most private. Furthermore, compared to informal ways of volunteering, formal volunteering seems to be more contingent upon access to and supply of different forms of personal and social resources.

经济法的社会利益考辩

本文试图提供这样一种分析的框架:将社会利益置于干预者、社会利益与个体成员的三元维度之中,考察社会利益如何在干预者与个体成员的互动博弈中获取生存空间,进而从社会利益与个体利益的关系中推出本文对社会利益的基本界定;这一界定将社会利益看成不确定多数个体利益相互平衡、协调的产物;这种解读与经济法界域下实质正义的思想恰可相互佐证。

浅谈敬业奉献

敬业奉献是公民道德的重要规范。敬业奉献之所以被列为公民道德的重要规范,原因在于敬业奉献不仅是个人幸福的前提,也是社会进步发展的保障。敬业意为敬重职业,职业是人的生存之本、发展之源、幸福之基,唯有敬业才能立业、兴业。敬业和奉献有不可分割的联系,敬业本身就有服务社会、奉献社会之意,敬业与奉献一道构筑幸福人生,实现人生的意义与价值。     

东西方文化价值观与当前高校文化价值教育模式创新

社会主义市场经济所要求的共产党员道德规范浅析

《党章》明确规定,中国共产党党员是中国工人阶级的有共产主义觉悟的先锋战士,这是我们党对共产党员先进性的集中概括,而高尚的道德情操、道德规范是共产党员保持先进性的重要内容。新时期,共产党员的道德规范应是符合市场经济良性循环要求的道德规范,是符合社会主义原则的道德规范,是体现共产主义思想的道德规范。
