以人为本的深层解读

以人为本的提出是对发展与代价进行反思的结果。以人为本作为一种现代思维方式,就是对人的主体地位、目的地位与主体作用的肯定,把尊重人、解放人、依靠人、为了人和塑造人的价值取向落实到社会实践中。在社会主义市场经济条件下贯彻“以人为本”必然要求“能力本位”。从思维方式转变的视角研究以人为本,必须辩证处理人与自然、人与社会、人与组织、人与他人的关系。

The effect of social status on women's age at first childbirth in the late seventeenth- to early eighteenth-century Korea

While records on historical population are available and do exist, the fact that they are so limited in nature is a critical problem. We applied the method of family reconstitution to a Korean household register to deal with these limitations. Based on family reconstitution from five successive registers, we calculated women's age at first childbirth for each social status in two ways: “observed woman's age” at first childbirth = woman's current age–age of her first child, and “estimated woman's age” at first childbirth, which uses linear regression analysis on the basis of positive association between women's age and the age of their firstborn. Our results shed light on the effects of social status and cultural factors on the age at which women in pre-industrial Korea bore their first child.     

Ferrets in the Caribbean: Britain,Grenada and the Curious Case of the Armoured Cars

Abstract

When the Marxist-Leninist New Jewel Movement seized power in Grenada in March 1979 they set about securing and defending their ‘revolution’ against the threat of a countercoup organised by the deposed Prime Minister Eric Gairy. Military aid was quick to arrive from expected allies, namely Cuba and Guyana. Grenadian Prime Minister Maurice Bishop also requested arms from Britain and the United States. The People’s Revolutionary Government’s (PRG’s) ties to Cuba and evasiveness over election plans ruled out the US providing any support. Britain remained more open-minded about the PRG’s intentions. Using recently declassified British government documents, this article will examine London’s deliberations over supplying armoured cars to Grenada. It argues that Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials focused on the bigger picture of steering the PRG away from Cuba at the cost of considering how the sale of the armoured cars to the PRG would appear to a wider audience and that the PRG’s increasingly authoritarian behaviour ultimately vetoed the sale.     

Coming in from the Cold: Grenada and Cuba since 1983

Abstract

The Grenada Revolution’s radical course was stamped by the bold turn to Cuba in April 1979. Cuban commitment to Maurice Bishop’s regime was crucial to its consolidation. In 1983 counter-revolution and invasion ruptured Grenada–Cuba ties and damaged Havana’s relations with Caribbean Community states. Since the demise of the Cold War, Havana’s survival strategy has prioritised regional integration and cooperation in the Americas. In the Anglophone Caribbean, Grenada has been at the centre of this rapprochement since 1993. Despite Washington’s disapproval, Grenada champions expanded ties with socialist Cuba. The rekindled alliance brings tangible mutual benefits and validates the strategy of South–South cooperation advocated by Maurice Bishop’s People’s Revolutionary Government and New Jewel Movement.     

地方人大对政府工作监督存在的问题及原因分析

人民代表大会监督是维护人民民主的有效手段和建设法制国家的根本前提。我国的人民代表大会制度建立以来,不断在实践中发展,对政府的监督制度不断完善,对政府的监督工作日益加强,监督权的行使收到了明显成效。然而,地方人大的监督工作同宪法和法律赋予的职权相比,还是有一定的差距,对政府监督的现状也不能完全达到建设法制国家的要求。其主要原因在于地方人大对政府工作监督的诸多关系不协调,对政府工作监督存在制度缺失,以及在这项工作中自身存在问题等。
