Campaigns Matter: How Voters Become Knowledgeable and Efficacious During Election Campaigns

Election campaigns are more than simple competitions for votes; they also represent an opportunity for voters to become politically knowledgeable and engaged. Using a large-scale Web panel (N ≈ 5,000), we track the development of political knowledge, internal efficacy, and external efficacy among voters during the 2011 Danish parliamentary election campaign. Over the course of the campaign, the electorate’s political knowledge increases, and these gains are found across genders, generations, and educational groups, narrowing the knowledge gap within the electorate. Furthermore, internal and external efficacy increase over the course of the campaign, with gains found across different demographic groups, particularly narrowing the gaps in internal efficacy. The news media play a crucial role, as increased knowledge and efficacy are partly driven by media use, although tabloids actually decrease external efficacy. The findings suggest that positive campaign effects are universal across various media and party systems.     

恐怖、帝国神话和资本过程

后冷战时代,有一种观点认为,在和平和发展这个主题之外,恐怖和帝国构成了全球化的一个副主题.孱弱的恐怖活动以庞大的资本帝国为攻击目标,资本帝国以反恐为工具,二者在全球化过程中相互对抗,是全球体系的腐败区域所孳生的孪生物.从这个角度看,恐怖和帝国在本质上都是失败者.全球性本体的生成和全球社会的确立是全球化所要到达的终极目的地,而恐怖和帝国必将在到达这一目的地的过程中最终消亡     

当前我国行业收入差距的现状与特征

行业收入差距不断扩大是我国当前劳动力市场的一个重要特征。原因在于各行业职工工资增长速度不同。这与行业垄断性经营有关。因此,要缩小行业收入差距就要最大限度地消除经济运行中的垄断性经营。     

Gendered Solutions to the Care Gap Issue in Iceland

Iceland has for some years enjoyed an international reputation as one of the most gender-equal societies in the world. It has also received a fair amount of international attention for an innovative approach to making parental leave compatible with gender equality by dividing the period into three equally long parts with non-transferable periods reserved for both parents. Still, there is a fairly long period that needs bridging from when parental leave ends and public day-care for children begins. During this intervening period parents have to find their own solution for childcare. We interviewed Icelandic parents about their use of parental leave and the bridging of the care gap period and argue that this gap is a major hindrance in the realization of the gender equality goals of the law on parental leave. We also note that unequal division of parental leave is generally not considered to violate the ideal of gender equality.

Crisis Management Europe: An Integrated Regional Research and Training Program

This article describes the Crisis Management (CM) Europe program that seeks to produce scientific knowledge that can be used also in order to train practitioners to cope more effectively with national and regional crises. Initiated in 1997 with a focus on the Baltic Sea area, the program has recently been broadened to cover all of Europe. The program documents and analyzes specific cases of national and regional crises. It relies upon a contextually grounded process tracing strategy for case reconstruction and dissection derived from relevant literatures in political science, psychology, and organizational sociology. To facilitate comparison and cumulation of case findings, a systematic four-step research procedure has been developed. Ten analytical themes of potential interest to both scholars and practitioners are identified as targets for structured focused comparison. More than a hundred cases have been studied by researchers working in research teams based in many European countries. Training tools have been successfully deployed in training practitioners from more than a dozen countries. An ongoing dialogue between academics and practitioners from across the Continent promises to make a contribution toward bridging the gap between these two different communities.     

现代性与个体化

个体化是现代社会的重要特征，由工业社会而引发的现代性与传统社会的“断裂”，不仅导致了个体为自己而活的愿望日渐强烈，也引发了风险社会的到来，因为个体化一方面使个体成为权利和责任相对称的主体，但另一方面也将承担责任的风险推向了个体。为了应对个体化给我们的生活方式所带来的影响，我们需要在个体本位主义的基础上，激活公民权，促进公民社会的形成。     

海南省行业工资差异的演变及其影响因素的实证分析

该文以海南1993-2011年行业工资数据为基础，分析了行业工资的演变及不同行业工资的影响因素。研究显示，海南省行业工资差距的扩大呈先缓后急的态势，高工资行业基本为金融、交仓邮、信计软这三类。而批零、住宿餐饮以及农林牧渔业基本上一直居于末尾，尤其是后者；而无论是高收入或低收入行业，垄断程度均是行业工资的显著影响因素，且多数行业垄断程度均是根本性的影响因素。在农业、采矿、制造、建筑、交通运输等劳动技能要求较高的行业，劳动生产率是其工资的显著影响因素；而人力资本水平对行业工资的影响因行业而异，对金融、房地产等行业工资的影响是显著的，甚至是关键的。
