构建和谐社会是我们党在新的历史时期提出的重大政治命题,它涉及到人与人、人与社会、人与自然等多重关系,涵盖了政治、经济、文化等各方面的内容。构建和谐社会的首要任务,就是要建立和谐的劳动关系,因为社会的运行和发展都要靠劳动来维系,劳动关系的和谐是社会和谐的基础。工会是劳资关系矛盾的产物,对于构建和谐的劳动关系具有特殊的作用。

开滦煤矿是中国近代较大的工业企业之一,有数万产业工人,建矿后的几十年间,矿工进行了数十次罢工运动,沉重打击了晚清政府、英国资本家、日本帝国主义和国民党反动派的反动统治,在中国民主革命时期工人运动史上占有极其重要的地位。     

我国劳动争议处理制度程序层面之分析

我国目前的劳动争议处理制度无论在现行相关的法律法规赋予权利义务方面,还是权利缺失时权利救济的程序保障方面,都存在不完善之处。应尽快确立劳动争议仲裁制度公平、公正及经济性价值取向;同时,应由当事人自由选择仲裁及诉讼程序,完善我国劳动争议处理制度。     

大学英语听说教学中输入与输出的整合

Krashen的“输入假说”认为可理解的输入是语言习得的必要条件,而Swain的“输出假说”认为可理解的输出更为重要。大学英语听说课实质上是听说紧密结合的综合性课程,是输入输出循环相关的交际性课程。在实际教学中应有机地整合输入与输出,重视语言输入源的建设,同时强化语言输出实践,以更有效地促进学习者英语听说能力的提高。     

就业协议存在的主要问题及改革

就业协议是我国高等院校要求应届毕业生与用人单位签订的有关毕业生工作的协议,可以作为统计就业率,确定毕业生就业单位的依据.但实践中对就业协议的性质不清、内容存在问题,导致就业协议存在虚假签约、毁约现象比较严重,有必要对就业协议进行改革,用法律手段调整毕业生与用人单位的关系.     

适用社区服务令制度惩处轻微犯罪行为的构想

由于社区服务令制度具有经济补偿及协助违法者心理康复的双重作用,因此我国应将其用于处罚轻微犯罪行为人。对于轻微犯罪行为,偏重于教育而不是惩罚的社区服务令制度具有巨大的优越性,体现了刑罚的个别化,减缓了刑罚的报应本能,给刑法生硬的面孔带来了温情的一面。     

Political accountability,fiscal conditions and local government performance—cross‐sectional evidence from Indonesia

Why are some local governments more successful than others in managing resources and delivering services? And even more vitally, how can malfunctioning governments be reformed so that they perform their responsibilities more effectively? This article contributes to our understanding of theses overarching questions by exploring the interactions between political institutions and public sector performance in the context of decentralisation and local governance. It shows–both theoretically and empirically–that performance outcomes are determined by the extent to which people can hold their governments accountable through political institutions. The basic hypothesis underlying this research is that political accountability, either by encouraging sanctions upon non‐compliant public agents or simply by reducing the informational gap regarding government activities, will create forceful incentives for elected officials and civil servants to reduce opportunistic behaviour and improve performance. Using a cross‐sectional regression the hypothesis is empirically tested against evidence from newly empowered local governments in Indonesia. The empirical findings broadly support our hypotheses. Improved public services on the ground, both in terms of quantity and quality, require informed and well functioning decision‐making processes that allocate resources to priority areas that meet the demand of the broader community.

Rereading the Public: Isolationism and Internationalism Revisited

This is the first installment in what we hope will be a recurring series of Forums in ISP. In each segment we intend to provide an outlet for peer-reviewed dialogue and debate on important topics in the field and to allow our readers to discuss material previously printed in the pages of ISP. Below are two comments on "Challenging U.S. Policymakers' Image of an Isolationist Public" by Steven Kull and Clay Ramsay published in ISP 1:1. Both comments raise a number of important issues pertaining to the relationship of public opinion and foreign policy, and also address more general questions of domestic impact on foreign policy outputs and several significant methodological questions about approaches to polling. The Forum begins first with comments by Richard Clark and Kenneth Dautrich, is followed by comments from Shoon Murray, and concludes with a response from Kull and Ramsay.     

All the labor problems fit to print: the New York Times and the cultural production of the U.S ‘labor problem’, 1870–1932

The period that spanned the Gilded Age to the onset of the Great Depression saw the rise and relative decline of the US labor movement. The salient events of labor movements over these years undoubtedly shaped public perception about labor issues, and some scholars have been attempting to unpack the mechanisms through which depictions and characterizations of the ‘labor problem’ were produced in authoritative venues that could have shaped the future of the movement. This study goes beyond the standard practice of explaining news report volume to feature the political valance of the reports on the labor problem over a 63-year time period. The aforementioned period also saw significant changes in news reporting practices, with the rise of objective informational writing and the embrace of journalism as a profession. The change within journalism itself could potentially shape the depiction of the labor problem, yet such change has been overlooked by existing literature pertaining to the topic. This research makes a theoretical case for integrating social processes central to the labor movement and journalism from 1870 to 1932 and explains patterns in the cultural production of the labor problem in the New York Times by analyzing these two tracks of history in conjunction using both qualitative and quantitative data.
