冷战后新保守主义影响美国对华政策的主要手段

美国新保守主义的外交思想及政策具有浓厚的意识形态色彩和强烈的进攻性。冷战后,新保守主义者仍然固守冷战思维,鼓吹“中国威胁论”,主张对华奉行强硬的“遏制政策”。他们通过参与政治实践;操纵媒体、引导舆论;控制国会、影响立法等手段影响政府的对华政策,使布什政府的对华政策具有明显的新保守主义特征。

网络已经成为民意表达的重要渠道,并深刻影响当代中国的社会生活。在立法中引入网络民意,既能有效引导网络舆论,又能充分扩展立法过程的公众参与。但网络民意是否能真实、客观地反映民意,其本身还需要建立有效的甄别机制。

Network Politics,Political Capital,and Democracy

Abstract

Is network politics a good or a bad thing for democracy? Seen from a narrow perspective of democracy the answer is clear. It is a bad thing. However, seen from broader perpsective the answer is more complex since it does not only focus on the preservation of representative democracy but also on the promotion of organizational democracy in civil society and on the enhancement of the citizens' political capital, that is their endowment, empowerment and political identity. The complexity of the relationship between democracy and network politics is apparent in a case study of political decision making in Skanderborg, a small town in Denmark.     

美国在台“特殊利益”的建构

美国在台湾的"特殊利益"--无论是战略利益、经济利益,还是心理方面的相互认同,都在深刻地影响着美台关系的演变和美国对华政策的决策.美国在台"特殊利益"的建构力量主要包括三大方面台湾对美国尤其是美国国会的游说,可以被看作是一种外部信息的输入;美国国内"台湾帮"、或者说"蓝军"的努力,揭示着外部信息内化的过程;思想库与大众媒体的作用,由此外部信息得以普及化.尽管作为输出的美国对华政策带有强烈的美国在台"特殊利益"色彩,但这一建构起来的幻象不仅逐渐遭到"台独"自身的侵蚀,而且因为中国大陆自身的强大而不断得到化解.

Implications of Out-of-School Activities for School Engagement in African American Adolescents

The connection between out-of-school activities and school engagement was examined in 140, 6th through 9th grade African American adolescents. Youth’s out-of-school activities were measured with a series of 7 nightly phone calls and focused on time in structured (homework, academically-oriented, extracurricular/sports) and unstructured (watching television, hanging out with peers) activities. School engagement was assessed during a home interview in terms of affective (school bonding), behavioral (school grades), and cognitive (school self-esteem) dimensions. Regression analyses controlling for parents’ education and youth grade in school showed that more time in extracurricular activities was associated with greater school self-esteem and school bonding. In addition, more time spent on homework was associated with greater school bonding for boys. Conversely, more time watching television was associated with lower school self-esteem and school bonding. Aryn M.
