Governing Unconventional Oil and Gas Extraction: The Case of Pennsylvania

Over the past decade, directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing enabled an unconventional oil and gas extraction (UOGE) boom in many regions of the United States, including parts of Pennsylvania. This revolution has created serious concerns about the capability of existing institutions to govern important societal outcomes associated with UOGE. We present a conceptual framework for assessing key societal outcomes influenced by UOGE governance. In applying this framework to Pennsylvania, we discern certain institutional strengths that have allowed the Commonwealth to reap appreciable short‐term economic growth from rich resource endowments. We also find, however, that several institutional weaknesses have allowed costs externalized to the environment, public health, and community integrity to offset some proportion of those economic benefits. Likewise, we find that governance of UOGE in Pennsylvania has contributed to a bifurcated sociopolitical landscape wherein adversarial coalitions dispute the legitimacy of the industry and its governance.

The devil we know and the angel that did not fly: An examination of devil/angel shift in twitter fracking “debates” in NY 2008–2018

Recent work has applied the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) to examine narrative strategies in policy debates on social media platforms. We contribute to the literature by applying the NPF to fracking policy debates in New York using well-established Natural Language Processing tools, including sentiment analysis. We combine this computational approach with a qualitative hand-coding of pro- and antifracking Twitter influentials. This approach allows us to consider a much larger corpus of tweets over a much longer time frame than has been done thus far. We adapt and test NPF propositions related to the use of the devil/angel shift strategies before and after a major state-wide policy change, that is, a state-wide moratorium on high volume hydraulic fracturing or fracking. Overall, we find evidence for the use of the devil shift narrative strategy by the pro-fracking coalition aimed at the Governor prior to the moratorium. After the moratorium, the relative percentage of Tweets containing devil shift sentiments decreases as the pro-fracking coalition generally downshifts in its use of angel shift language without a corresponding increase in devil shift language, whereas, conversely, the anti-fracking coalition generally downshifts in its use of devil shift language without a general increase in angel shift language. When we shifted our analysis to Tweets containing fracking and the Governor, we found a similar postban decrease in devil shift language among anti-fracking users. Our findings offer lessons for using computational tools in the NPF as an approach to expand analytic ability and for the operationalization of concepts such as narrative strategies and policy entrepreneurs.     

浅议两汉时期的矫制（诏）现象

两汉时期,矫制(诏)现象频发,时代思潮、士大夫们昂扬的进取精神以及矫制(诏)无害法律制度是其成因。其中,矫制(诏)无害法律制度孕育于频发的矫制(诏)政治法律实践,并且成为矫制(诏)频发的制度保障。这个法律制度对汉以后中国传统法律制度的发展产生了深远的影响。     

论我国取保候审制度之完善——以英美保释制度为视角

相比英美保释制度，我国取保候审在性质定位上和适用方式上都相去甚远。《刑事诉讼法修正案（草案）》中对我国取保候审制度进行了完善，体现了对犯罪嫌疑人、被告人权利的保障，但在取保候审的适用方式、适用程序和相关保障措施方面仍然存在不足。应借鉴英美保释制度，完善我国的取保候审制度。     

“无冕皇后”还是“交际花”：民国女记者的媒介形象与自我认同

本文讨论民国时期女记者的出现及其形象的建构。首先考察她们是如何、为何被媒体呈现为“交际花”，以及她们如何应对并重建作为“无冕皇后”的职业身份。其次分析这一现象的成因，即女记者的职业性质对传统性别规范的挑战，引发男性文人对重新定义性别角色的担忧和焦虑；她们采取“去性别化”的话语策略，强调自身的职业素养和社会功能，则是为了建构起性别中立的职业认同。     

新生代农民工与城乡统筹的内在逻辑及耦合路径

新农村建设和新型城镇化既是中国农村发展的两大主题，也是驱动中国城乡统筹发展及现代化建设的两个巨轮。愿意返乡创业的新生代农民工是新农村建设的内生动力，实现返乡新生代农民工在县域城镇的市民化梦想则是新型城镇化的重要标尺。政府创造条件响应其诉求，是城乡统筹的实践突破和人文回归。
