由中国人民大学民商事法律科学研究中心、最高人民法院、人民法院出版社共同主办、《判解研究》丛书编辑部和山东省济南市中级人民法院协办的第五届法官与学者对话论坛暨亲属法新问题与新展望研讨会于2008年9月在济南举行。本次论坛,将学者的理论创新与法官的实践经验相结合,围绕着"亲属法新问题与新展望"这一主题,就以下几个热点与难点问题进行深入探讨:夫妻共同财产的物权法规则适用问题;无效婚姻制度在适用中的疑难问题;《婚姻法》第46条在适用中的疑难问题;同性恋、准婚姻关系等法律适用问题。     

Kinship Guardianship,Adoption, and Foster Care: Outcomes from a U.S. National Sample

Using data from a national longitudinal survey of children referred to child protective services (NSCAW II), this article compares behavioral, child/caregiver relationship, and school performance outcomes for children residing in kinship and nonkinship settings. Up to three waves of data were gathered for each child. The analysis sample comprises 4,202 children and 10,881 observations. Two sets of regressions were completed. One represents family living settings using child-mean centered predictors while the other does so with dummy-coded variables. An advantage of the child-mean centered predictors is that omitted variables that vary between children but that are constant within each child do not introduce bias. The regressions using dummy-coded variables evidenced, on balance, somewhat better outcomes for kinship settings than for nonkinship ones. Good outcomes in these regressions were found for kinship adoption. Results with the child-mean centered regressions were more equivocal, though perhaps still favored kinship settings. Limitations and policy recommendations conclude the article.     

When the chickens come home to roost: The long-term impact of party positions on religious voting

Despite the widespread secularisation of West European societies, research has only found mixed evidence of a decline in the influence of religion on people's electoral preferences. A relatively recent line of inquiry has adopted a ‘top-down’ approach to this problem, arguing that the impact of religion not only depends on structural social changes, but also on parties’ convergence on moral issues. Drawing upon this ‘top-down’ approach and the ‘impressionable years’ model, this article argues that parties’ political strategies aimed at (de-)mobilising social cleavages have a lasting effect on voters’ party preferences. Using nine rounds of the European Social Survey for 19 West European countries, I find the impact of religiosity on voting for the centre-right (Conservative and Christian Democratic parties) to be significantly smaller for voters who were exposed during emerging adulthood (aged 15–25) to a centre-right party that adopted similar positions on moral issues to those of its main competitors. These findings have important implications because they highlight the role of generational replacement in bringing about electoral change, even when this is prompted by parties’ strategic choices.     

外国的定量犯罪学

定量犯罪学是指对犯罪学领域相关问题的定量研究,有“简单”定量研究和“复杂”定量研究之分。就澳大拉西亚（澳大利亚和新西兰）、大不列颠联合王国、瑞典和荷兰等国家的定量犯罪学来看,定量研究方法广泛地渗透于犯罪学的各个研究领域。但是,定量研究的醒目领域在欧洲各地区并不相同,研究水平也有高低之分,发展趋势也有所不同。这主要根源于各国定量犯罪学的研究传统、研究背景、研究活动的资助体制等方面的实际情况不可能完全相同,由此呈现出多元化特征。     

右翼民粹主义崛起背景下再论英国的市场社会主义思潮--对话英国著名学者戴维·麦克莱伦教授北大核心SSCI

20多年前,“为了公共利益而以强有力的方式控制和调节市场”的市场社会主义曾在英国得到热烈的讨论。在当下经济全球化出现变局、新自由主义面临危机并向民粹主义转化的大背景下,再论市场社会主义,就具有了更深的理论内涵和更直接的实践批判价值。本文以与英国著名马克思主义研究者戴维·麦克莱伦的直接对话为基础,就英美新自由主义因放纵金融资本而自我否定的必然性、民粹主义的崛起及其困局、市场社会主义对英美等国的理论和实践价值等议题,评析了麦克莱伦教授的最新观点。
