关于列宁的新经济政策理论—评季诺维也夫对列宁主义的阐释

列宁逝世后,季诺维也夫正确地理解和阐释了新经济政策时期列宁关于战略退却的思想,认识到所谓战略退却不是简单地消除战时共产主义的极端行为,不是从战时共产主义退向社会主义,而是退向无产阶级国家中的特殊的“国家资本主义”。关于列宁工农经济联盟的思想,季诺维也夫认为在国内战争时期无产阶级与农民之间的联盟只具有最初步的形式,是所谓粗陋的联盟或者说是“军事联盟”,战争结束后,列宁主张只有建立工农之间的经济联盟,才能实现真正的工农联盟和巩固无产阶级专政。他还正确地阐释了列宁关于利用国家资本主义恢复国民经济的思想和新形势下社会主义与资本主义“谁战胜谁”的阶级路线思想。

谈中国《人口与计划生育法》的里程碑意义

实施人口生育法是人类社会发展到一定历史时期的必然选择。虽然 ,目前还没有出现统一的完整意义上的成熟的人口法 ,但是以调整人口关系某一侧面的单一的人口法规却已经被陆续制定出来。我国人口与计划生育法的颁布 ,标志着人类社会正在经历一次认识自身生命更替的新的社会变革 ,是人口生育行为规范的一次历史性转折。各级政府部门和广大人民群众要适应这一深刻的社会变革对自身提出的相应要求

修复性司法:构建和谐社会的一种路径

和谐的思想观念与修复性司法的“修复理念”相契合,为创设修复性司法制度奠定了丰厚的思想基础;修复性司法对构建和谐社会具有促进作用,可以成为构建和谐社会的一种路径。修复性司法在我国现阶段不应成为一个完全独立的司法制度,更不能完全取代传统刑事司法机制,而应与传统刑事司法机制一起成为统一的刑事司法体制下的既相互独立,又相互协调的两个有机组成部分。

The Future of the Public Service Workforce: A Dialogue

It has been widely suggested that public service delivery of the future will be different to that of today. Added to this, we are currently witnessing significant changes in terms of the nature of work. Taken together these developments signal that we will see transformation in terms of the role of public servants and the public service workforce. Against this background, this paper presents a dialogue on the future of the public service workforce between Helen Dickinson and Helen Sullivan of the Melbourne School of Government, University of Melbourne and Graeme Head, New South Wales Public Service Commissioner. This paper offers insights from academics actively engaged in teaching the future public service workforce and a public service commissioner actively working to make a reality of a vision of the future.     

Advancing Knowledge through Grassroots Experiments: Connecting Culture and Sustainability

Since 2006, hundreds of communities in Canada have produced Integrated Community Sustainability Plans, based on a four-pillar model of sustainability and developed in consultation with residents and stakeholders. These community-based experiments have developed models, knowledge, and insights about the place of culture in local sustainability. Both conceptual thinking and planning practices regarding the role of culture in sustainable communities were at an embryonic stage when these initiatives took place. The discussions, plans, and implementation processes have advanced both theory and “leading edge” practices with regard to culture and community sustainability, illustrating the importance of a robust relationship between research and practice.     

Recidivist criminal behaviour and executive functions: a comparative study

This study sought to analyse the relation between executive functions and criminal recidivism. We assessed a set of cognitive abilities associated with executive functioning in a group of recidivist offenders (n = 19), primary offenders (n = 25) and non-offenders (n = 30). Our results, tested with nonparametric statistics and Monte Carlo method, revealed that there were no executive differences between both groups of offenders but, when compared with non-offenders, the recidivists showed a worse performance in Trail Making Test part B, and the primary offenders presented a significant lower score on Porteus Maze Test Age score. This study suggests that there can be a different pattern of executive functioning deficits associated with the offenders’ criminal record: recidivism may be more related to mental flexibility impairments and primary offenders’ antisocial behaviour may be aggravated by planning deficits.     

The foreign policy and diplomatic attributes of a developmental state: South Africa as case study

With South Africa having declared itself a developmental state, this paper posits that if a developmental state is one that drives development, then the foreign policy of such a state should pursue development as one of its most important goals. Similarly the diplomatic corps of such a state should prioritise economic, commercial, para- and public diplomacy as drivers of diplomacy. In answering the question, ‘What should be the foreign policy and diplomatic attributes of a developmental state?’, the authors, through an exploratory approach, seek to analyse how well the state has fared in achieving this objective. To be a successful developmental state, a strategic capacity should exist and a clear strategic conception of the state's national interest should be formulated. Old paradigms about the role and functions of the diplomatic corps are challenged and a meritocratic diplomatic corps is strongly advocated to support the state's declared developmental goals.
