Religion and National Identity in America and Europe

America and Europe have had very different religious experiences, and these differences have continuing consequences. In America, the preponderance of Reform Protestantism gave rise to religious and political pluralism, a religious marketplace, and the continuing vitality of the churches. In Europe, the dominance of state churches gave rise to the eventual rejection of these churches and religions when the traditional political and social authorities were rejected, particularly by the Generation of 1968. However, Europe’s extreme secularization has rendered it confused and ineffective in dealing with the new religious challenge posed by Muslim immigrant communities.

从“外力拉动”到“双轮驱动”——转型期中国农业农村发展的战略调整与制度创新

“以城带乡、以工促农”的统筹城乡发展战略虽然较大程度地改变了“城乡二元结构”,却仍然是建立在城市中心主义之上的,它客观上固化了农村的边缘地位。在城市大幅扩张、农村劳动力大量转移、城市出现“消化不良”症状的背景下,统筹城乡发展需要在继续保持外力拉动的基础上着力激活农村内在动力,消除“村际阻隔”和“产权缺陷”,通过促进农村内部产权自由流转、建立农地农房储备制度等途径,着力构建大农村内部市场和弹性城市化机制,实现统筹城乡“外力拉动”和“内源发展”并行的“双轮驱动”。这种战略调整和制度安排既可以改变农村资源资本化不足带来的发展动力不够的现状,又可以避免农村土地私有化带来的巨大社会风险。     

农村宗族研究：亟待实现范式转换——基于赣州、岳平两地农村社区发展理事会建设实践的分析

基于江西赣州和湖北岳平两地农村社区建设的经验分析,本文发现理事会在改造并利用农村宗族势力的过程中创新了基层民主实践机制,以多元民主相结合的方式,有效解决了代表性难题、决策机制难题,以及农民的参与程度问题,构建了一个治理“钉子户”的高效机制。理事会在实践中重构了农民“公”“私”认同的序列谱,具备了“国家授权的合法性与农民自发的认同感”的双重权力属性,既利用了传统的宗族资源,又避免了介入地方“公务”时的不合法困境,推进了两地以自然村为单位的社区建设。鉴于农村宗族的基础性结构已经发生了历史性巨变,本文认为当前农村宗族研究亟待实现从革命范式向改良范式的转变,逐步探索建立一种受保护的社会自治权的协商式增长机制,使农村宗族最终成为一种有益于地方社会秩序整合的建设性力量。     

From lack of status to contract: assessing the French Pacte Civil de Solidarité

It has been suggested that the nature of marriage could be varied by private contract. In France a similar effect has been achieved by allowing couples to enter into an institution delimited by law but regulated by contract. Thousands of cohabiting couples have chosen to register a Pacte Civil de Solidarité . This suggests a strong desire for a real alternative to marriage and raises important issues about commitment in modern relationships. It is speculated that PaCS is likely to rank below marriage but above cohabitation in terms of relationship quality, stability and protection of the weaker party.     

The Street‐Level Response to Relationship Breakdown: A Lesson for National Policy?

In January 2001, the Government announced its intention to repeal the divorce reforms contained in the Family Law Act 1996. The ‘story’ of the Act is largely one of compromise: between a backward‐looking idealism, casting divorce law in the role of supporting marriage, and a more forward‐facing pragmatism, accepting the necessity of engaging with social reality. The result was legislation that sought both to save and end marriages – although a key reason for proposing the Act's repeal was an alleged failure to save marriages. This national approach to relationship breakdown contrasts sharply with that at ‘street‐level’, where work aims to provide a service catering to the diversity of modern family life. The apparent success of this approach prompts the question of whether there are lessons for national policy. Drawing on a series of interviews with national policy‐makers and street‐level workers, this paper compares national and local perspectives and suggests that a new mind‐set and approach, akin to that operating on the ground, is needed at national level if workable divorce law reform is to be achieved.     

当代中国政治改革与发展的体制资源--对地方官员的一项初步分析

对政治改革和建设的态度,地方官员队伍已有着越来越强的独立思考,要求政治改革的期望与压力日益强烈,但他们认同于现行的基本政治框架,对政治改革渐进性的认识与理性程度已明显增强.这说明,在地方层面的现行正式体制中,政治改革的体制资源与动力基础已越来越强.     

改革开放40年我国刑法立法的发展及其完善

改革开放40年间,我国刑法立法经历了国际化与本土化相结合的发展过程。世界刑法立法观念的趋同化和刑法立法制度的一体化是我国刑法立法发展的外部力量,而社会治安形势的变迁、法治建设整体水平的提高和国民权利意识的提升是促进我国刑法立法发展的内部因素。在改革与开放的内外因素作用下,我国刑法立法经历了起步、扩张和完善的不同阶段,实现了刑法立法理念由注重秩序价值走向秩序与自由价值并重,刑法立法模式由分散走向统一,刑法立法内容由单一走向综合,刑法立法技术由粗疏走向精细。未来我国刑法立法应当紧密结合改革开放全面深化的需要,坚持科学化和人道化的立法发展方向,不断推进刑法立法制度和措施的发展完善。     

Family Court Enhancement Project: Improving Access to Justice

In 2013, Minnesota's Fourth Judicial District was one of four courts in the country selected by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women to receive a Family Court Enhancement Project (FCEP) grant, a multiyear demonstration initiative designed to build the capacity of court systems and partner stakeholders to improve child custody decision making in cases involving domestic violence. The FCEP enabled the project sites to explore, implement, and assess new and innovative court and noncourt procedures and practices. This article is an exploration of the outcomes of this project.
