误区的超越与主导价值的转换——对我国当下公平与效率关系问题的新解读

公平正义,是构建社会主义和谐社会的必要前提。公平的根本问题是权利与义务的关系问题。不论是经济公平与经济效率的关系,还是社会公平与经济效率的关系,二者都是互为前提、并行不悖的。社会主义市场经济体制的建立是以实现社会公正和共同富裕为目标的,坚持以社会公平为主导的价值取向,不仅是我国社会主义制度的本质要求,而且是考验执政党驾驭市场经济能力、构建社会主义和谐社会的一个重要课题。     

和谐社会视野下的警察权控制

构建警察权的控制体系是由警察权的性质决定的,也是法治和保护人权的要求。和谐社会视野下警察权的控制以比例原则、司法控制和程序公正作为基本原则,从和谐社会的内在要求出发,通过建立系统的内部制约机制、加强司法机关对公安机关的监督、强化公民的权利保护、树立程序公正理念等途径,把规范和控制警察权纳入法制轨道中,从而对警察权进行科学有效地控制和约束。     

以治理能力的提升促进社会公正——治理理论视域中的社会公正问题

从公正的角度来看,当前我国社会转型过程中,影响社会公正的一个重要原因就是治理理念和治理方式的落后,因而治理能力的现代化提升,是实现社会公正的一个重要途径;从治理理论本身来看,治理的一个目标就是公正,国家治理体系和治理能力的构建,必然要以公正的价值和公正的制度为基础。在治理视域中观察社会公正,通过治理能力的提升促进社会公正,不失为一种新视角。     

共产主义:正义及其实现

正义不单单是一个法权概念,更是一个特定的社会历史范畴.马克思对资本主义社会的控诉不仅仅是谴责资本主义是不正义的,最重的是论证这种生产方式本身的缺陷性,这种缺陷使得正义和权利的存在成为必需.对正义的解读不能脱离特定的社会生产力水平和生产关系的维度,对资本主义社会的批判也饱含着生产力和道德的双重标准,即事实判断和价值判断....     

Taking the power out of empowerment – an experiential account

This article traces the centuries-long evolution of the concept and practice of empowerment, its adoption by radical social movements, especially women's movements from the 1970s onwards, and its conversion, by the late 1990s, into a buzzword. Situating the analysis in the context of women's empowerment interventions in India, the article describes the dynamic of the depoliticisation and subversion of a process that challenged the deepest structures of social power. The ‘downsizing’ and constriction of the concept within state policy, the de-funding of genuine empowerment strategies on the ground, and the substitution of microfinance and political quotas for empowerment are examined and analysed.     

Empowering families as an alternative to foster care for street children in Brazil

Although the emphasis in current thinking about work with street children has changed from aid-dependency towards youth protagonism, many organisations ignore the role of the children's families in their interventions. In so doing, they reproduce obsolete welfare traditions and also violate rights guaranteed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and national legislation. This article illustrates the importance of child–family ties for both children and families, and argues that interventions that lack the involvement of parents and families serve to reproduce images of failed families and inadequate mothers. The author presents an alternative approach from Brazil which respects the rights and needs of children and families through family empowerment.     

论国际争端解决机构的造法——以欧盟法院为例

国际争端解决机构造法的日趋成熟对国际法的发展产生了重要影响。造法的动力很大程度上来源于先例制度。由于先例制度的存在,国际争端解决机构的裁决带有路径依赖的性质,因此有可能独立于成员方创设的规则自成体系。同时,成员方也有援引国际争端解决机构先例的意愿,从而使得它的造法得以持续。欧盟法院的造法展现了国际争端解决机构造法的成熟形态,也说明了国际争端解决机构的造法为国际法的发展增加了一种可能性。     

How do gender quotas affect public support for women as political leaders?

Gender quotas have shown themselves to be an effective means of getting more women into political office. Less clear is the broader effect of gender quotas on egalitarian attitudes. This article uses a cross-national dataset of 48 countries worldwide to examine the role of gender quotas in the generation of individual-level attitudes to women as political leaders. Firstly, gender quotas appear to improve perceptions of women’s ability as political leaders in countries where they are present, having controlled for a range of individual-level and contextual influences. Second, this effect differs by sex. For women, the presence of gender quotas alone increases their support for women’s political leadership, something theorised as a ‘vote of confidence’ effect. Thirdly, this effect is not dependent on the type of quota implemented and holds for quotas adopted voluntarily by political parties and those that are brought about via a broader legal change.
