帕斯卡尔的《思想录》与思想的消遣

帕斯卡尔的<思想录>含有丰富的启蒙意义.从神圣与精神大于世俗的权力出发,帕斯卡尔在强力、见解、判断、人性等诸多问题上提出了具有"永恒价值"的政治哲学与伦理学领域的问题.特别是他在人类思想史上第一次从"精神的消遣"接触到"异化"的哲学问题,并且使这个问题具有在后来的卢梭和黑格尔那里更为生活化、更为活泼的意义,使我们回归到一种原始而崭新的哲学谈论方式.

A decade of electoral democracy: continuity,change and crisis in Paraguay⋆

In 1989 President Stroessner was overthrown after almost 35 years in power. This led to a process of transition over the following decade which included elections at presidential, congressional, and municipal levels, as well as a democratic constitution, which guaranteed full political and civil liberties. However, the transition has been complicated by the continued prominence of the same political and military forces that supported Stroessner, and that have proved reluctant to withdraw from power. As a result, instead of representing a complete break with an authoritarian past, the transition has combined elements of continuity and change. This has led to a conservative and faltering transition, characterised by frequent political crises and the lack of socio‐economic reform. This article analyses the major structural and institutional obstacles to the consolidation of democracy in Paraguay. It then brings the reader up to date, by examining the events of 1998/1999, a period in which Paraguay's transition came under the greatest threat, and which revealed both its greatest strengths and weaknesses.     

中国式司法能动主义的政治文化成因——以陕西陇县“能动主义八四司法”模式为中心

司法是一种地方性实践。具有属地性，司法世界主义作为一个命题从本体论和方法论的角度都不能成立。近年来，陕西陇县法院在县委强力推动和上级法院的有力指导下。坚持“三个至上”指导思想，围绕为大局服务，为人民司法的工作主题，继承和发扬马锡五审判方式，积极弘扬人民司法优良传统，主动回应人民群众对法院工作的新需求、新期待，自觉承担社会责任，坚持司法专业化与大众化相结合。探索推行能动主义八四司法模式，建立了一村一法官工作机制，在制度设计中，着眼于定纷止争、维稳促和，不但解决了许多进入诉讼程序后我们可能解决不了、解决不好或解决后难以执行的案件。而且从源头上消除了一大批影响社会和谐稳定的因素。是一个有效的司法经验。     

思想政治工作切忌简单化——论思想政治工作的科学定位

要科学地研究和开展思想政治工作，至少应该在“做谁的工作”、“由谁做工作”　、“做什么工作”和“怎样做工作”等问题上作出正确的回答。我们的一些思想政治工作之　所以苍白无力，往往是因为在这些问题上出现了单向、单干、单纯、单调四种简单化的误区　。而我们走出这些误区，对思想政治工作进行科学化的定位，就必须把握“互动”、“合力　”、“结合”、“渗透”这四大要件。     

政府职能社会化的现实基础与机制建设

政府职能社会化是政府权力向社会的转移,是社会发展的必然趋势。世界各国在处理政府与社会关系问题上,基本上有强政府弱社会、弱政府弱社会、弱政府弱社会、强政府强社会四种模式。经过几十年的改革和发展,我国已经具备了政府职能社会化的政治基础和经济条件,建立公民自主管理和完善公民参与机制是政府职能社会化的基础和保障。     

新农村建设中的社会和谐问题研究（中）

新农村建设中的社会和谐问题研究具有重大意义。新中国成立以来，党和政府先后三次提出新农村建设问题。尽管每次提出的历史背景不同，设定的目标也各有侧重，但都不同程度地促进了我国农村的建设和发展。而随着时代的发展，人的观念和认识问题的角度、方法也有了很大的改变，所以对于这次提出的新农村建设，就只有放在社会和谐的大背景下来思考，才能实现其制定的远大目标，实现中华民族的全面复兴。     

'A Manual of Diplomacy': The Genesis of Satow's Guide to Diplomatic Practice

Often referred to as simply 'Satow', the Guide to Diplomatic Practice stands as a lasting monument to Satow's 'second career' as a scholar of international law and diplomacy. However, there was more to this phase in Satow's life than the Guide's two stout volumes. This article argues that in reconstructing the origins and genesis of this work, Satow's own conception of diplomacy as an historically evolved tool of international politics can be examined much more comprehensively than is possible on the basis on the current fifth edition of the Guide. Moreover, this examination will also offer further insights into the evolution of diplomatic studies as an academic discipline in the early twentieth century.     

An Italian Leitmotiv? Corruption and Competence in the Debates of the Italian Chamber of Deputies (1946–2014)

By making use of an original data-set built based on a codification of all investiture debates of the Italian governments from 1946 to 2014, the paper investigates the main factors that explain the choice of a party to devote its attention to the valence issues of corruption and competence in its legislative speeches. Two classes of hypotheses are tested; the first concentrates on spatial reasons, and the second concentrates on contextual factors. Both sets of factors appear to play a significant role, although no clear temporal trend emerges in party attention over almost seventy years of Italian parliamentary debates.     

Human (In)Security and Democracy in Central America

Human security has increasingly shifted attention to the individual, while the state has become guarantor (or violator) of security given its role in governing the domestic environment. This article examines how variations in regime forms influence security, pointing to the importance of political security in the wider human security framework. To illustrate, the article examines the nature of political security in Central America, a region with weakly democratized states and histories of political violence. The findings suggest a link between democracy and human security that is mediated by state capacity and the ability to control non-state violence against individuals.
