思想政治工作要贯彻好“与时俱进”原则

思想政治工作"与时俱进"原则的精髓就是解放思想、实事求是,就是从群众中来,到群众中去.它既是马克思主义的思想路线和科学方法论的核心,也是思想政治工作必须把握好的基本原则.要在思想政治工作实践中真正贯彻好"与时俱进"原则,关键要在理论和实践上做到以下"四个适当"一、思想政治工作的定位要适当,对思想政治工作地位和作用的理解要"适当",这是贯彻好思想政治工作"与时俱进"原则的前提;二、思想政治工作在举措上要"适当",即政策对路,措施得力,落到实处,要"管用".这是贯彻好思想政治工作"与时俱进"原则的关键环节;三、先导性是思想政治工作把握度量、体现"适当"的基本要求,也是贯彻"与时俱进"原则的重要内容;四、思想政治工作在覆盖范围上的适当性要求.顺应思想政治工作的时代性要求,建立健全覆盖全社会的思想政治工作网络,是在实践中贯彻好"与时俱进"原则的题中应有之意.     

Is Partner Aggression Related to Appraisals of Coercive Control by a Partner?

Research and clinical reports on men who are aggressive towards their intimate partners find that these men tend to behave in highly controlling ways towards such partners (e.g., restricting their social interactions, monitoring of activities, and reducing decision-making power). This study tests the hypothesis that men and women in violent dating relationships appraise such behaviors differently than individuals in nonviolent relationships. Based on clinical and empirical partner abuse literature, 119 college students rated the extent to which they perceived hypothetical behaviors towards a partner as controlling. Results suggest that individuals who had either engaged in or received partner aggression appraised restrictive, domineering, and coercive behaviors from a male to a female partner, and from a female to a male partner as less controlling than individuals who had neither perpetrated nor received partner aggression. Men also viewed those behaviors as less controlling than did women. Generalizability, clinical implications, and directions for future research are discussed.     

The microeconomic voter

In the United States, aggregate and individual level studies of economic voting for the Congress have produced contradictory findings. The same is true for models of economic voting for the Australian Parliament. This paper presents data taken from a series of individual level studies which show that voters' attitudes towards fiscal and microeconomic issues have been better predictors of the vote for the Australian House of Representatives over the last four elections than their attitudes towards macroeconomic issues. This finding suggests that the cause of the inconsistency between aggregate and individual level models of voting may be that aggregate models of economic voting which include only macroeconomic variables are inadequately specified, since they do not take broader aspects of the economy into account.     

构建新型的政府与媒体关系——政治文明生态下的媒体运用

Is Brazil becoming a “boring” country?

The article looks at the condition of Brazil's political system in light of the 1998 electoral results. It critically examines arguments that electoral volatility, political fragmentation and weak institutionalisation have produced a highly unstable political system unsuitable for sound policy‐making and processing change. While not underestimating the influence of electoral rules, it argues that given the combination of political, institutional and economic turmoil of the 1980s, it is not surprising that electoral volatility over the period was amongst the highest in the world. Arguably, however, these factors are now having a diminished impact on the political system, lessening volatility and allowing the emergence of a more institutionalised party system.     

试论中东伊斯兰国家“乌里玛”的政治参与及其现实作用

人们看待中东，往往看到的是伊斯兰行动主义的军事组织所从事的政治或破坏性的负面社会行为。但事实上，宗教在政治中的影响远远超过了这些组织的影响，特别是国内外一些学者忽视了“乌里玛”（Ulama）阶层。然而，从乌里玛参与现实政治作用的历史依据、“乌里玛”现实政治参与的社会基础、乌里玛政治参与的体现及其作用三个层面的体现，可以看到乌里玛在中东伊斯兰国家所扮演的重要角色。     

论高校学生群体性事件中的思想政治教育方法

高校学生群体性事件在很大程度上是由于各种内部矛盾激化而成，诸如事关国家荣誉与前途的重大事件；学生切身利益受到侵害；在校学生的非正常死亡；部分学生素质较差、法制观念淡薄；就业难题与毕业离校情绪等都是诱发高校学生群体性事件的重要因素。要充分有效地利用思想政治教育方法来化解矛盾，需做到未雨绸缪，利用预防教育方法做好防范工作；高校领导人亲临现场与组织参与人员展开“平等对话”；迅速发布权威信息，做好舆情搜集和研判处理工作；善后处理总结，宜春风化雨而非秋后算账。     

关于公安院校开设《中国近现代史纲要》课程的思考

历史课是在学校开始较早，也是开设时间较长的一门课程。通过中学历史与高校历史课程的对比分析，表明在不同阶段开设历史课程对学生的影响是有所侧重的，其指导意义是有所区别的。《中国近代史纲要》是高校思想政治理论课程之一，结合“政治建警、政治建校”的理念，从思想政治教育角度阐述了开设此门课的必要性和重要性。     

两岸政治定位的瓶颈

面对破解＂两岸政治定位＂这一难题,两岸学者都做出了努力。本文探讨双方已有的共识与分歧,并重点分析两个最受关注的方案———台湾学者张亚中的＂一中三宪论＂与大陆学者刘国深的＂球体理论＂。研究发现台湾学者始终坚持＂中华民国是主权国家＂的底线,而大陆学者则在如何面对＂中华民国＂问题上前进了一步。本文认为＂是否敢于突破底线＂与＂是否存在解决难题的意愿＂是两岸政治定位问题的两个瓶颈,希望两岸学者在现有基础上继续前进,不要后退,坦诚交流,共同建构两岸和平发展的理论框架,寻求更多更好的解决方案。
