Herzl's legal and economic views in The Jewish State: A scorecard

This paper compares Theodor Herzl's conception of the legal and economic institutions he envisioned in The Jewish State with those functioning Israel in 1995. His main goal, the establishment of a Jewish state, was achieved, but what has developed is not quite what Herzl expected, due mainly to the enormous burdens of defense. Nevertheless, many of the legal and institutional features of the economy he envisioned are in place, although in altered form.     

'Talking in Fictions': Jennings on Parliament

Sir Ivor Jennings made many ground-breaking contributions to the study of Parliament. Among them are two books written in the 1930s, while Jennings was at the peak of his powers: Parliamentary Reform in 1934, ¹ and Parliament in 1939. ² This essay offers an assessment of Jennings' scholarship on Parliament. It commences with some observations on his method, and this is followed by an outline of the argument in Parliament and an appraisal of the book's originality and ongoing significance. The essay closes with some brief remarks concerning Jennings' Parliamentary Reform .     

消极自由与积极自由理论辩证－－兼论我国社会主义政治文明建设的路径选择

消极自由观和积极自由观各有其理论根源和现实依据 ,也各有其片面性和局限性 ,实现两者的有机结合 ,是实现自由的重要前提和必然要求。就其总体精神气质而言 ,马克思主义的自由观是积极自由的自由观 ,但这并不意味着马克思主义排斥消极自由。特别是在我国已经完成了社会主义革命、建立了社会主义制度 ,并且确立了依法治国这一治国方略的新的历史条件下 ,我们应该根据时代和实践的需要来丰富和发展马克思主义自由观 ,实现消极自由与积极自由的有机结合 ,建设社会主义政治文明。     

经济学视角下公务员行政伦理失范的成因分析

公务员行政伦理失范的本质上是行政权力的异化。经济因素是一切社会现象得以滋生和存在的基础，对各种社会现象具有决定性的力量。因此，借由“路径依赖”原理、“囚徒因境”博弈论、信息不对称理论、人们追求效用最大化的本性和成本一收益原则等经济学视角，可以对中国公务员行政伦理失范的原因进行深层次的探寻。     

课型改革在《西方经济学》教学中的应用

西方经济学的理论性强、知识点多、较为抽象等特点,使得该课程的知识不易被初学者领会和掌握,高职院校经济学教学效果总体上并不理想。针对教学中存在的问题,必须采取教学策略在教学中尝试多种课型的综合运用,不仅要系统传授基础知识,更要重视思维训练和研究、分析等多方面能力的培养。     

Identification and analysis of human remains recovered from wells from the 1991 War in Croatia

From 1996 to the present, the remains of 61 individuals killed during the 1991 War in Croatia were recovered from both dried out and functioning wells. Positive identification was established in 60.7% or 37/61 cases. Remains recovered from the same geographical region but from non-well settings were identified in 77.4% or 1256/1623 cases. The purpose of this paper is to report on the taphonomic, demographic and trauma characteristics of remains recovered from wells and identify factors responsible for the discrepancy in the identification ratios. The age and sex distributions in the well and non-well series were similar, as were the frequencies of recovered personal documents, jewelry and other artifacts. The taphonomic features of the remains were, however, significantly different. Preservation of remains was considerably better in non-well settings (1400/1623 or 86.3% compared to 40/61 or 65.5% in wells). Congruently, commingling of remains was more frequent in wells (26/61 or 42.6% compared to 77/1623 or 4.7% in non-well settings). In bodies recovered from non-well settings the preservation, state and commingling of the remains were strongly correlated with positive identification. None of these features were correlated with the identification of bodies from wells. Instead, identification of remains from wells was significantly affected by the presence or absence of water in the well. As both series have similar frequencies, and identical rankings of identification factors, the reason for the discrepancy in the identification ratios lies in the fact that by themselves, these factors were rarely sufficient for positive identification. In both series the majority of identifications (51.4% in the well, and 58.1% in the non-well series) were established through a combination of biological and non-biological features. The significantly lower identification ratio in the well series resulted from the difficult recovery conditions in wells with significant amounts of water, and the negative effect that water had on the preservation of clothing, personal artifacts and some dental features. Significant differences were also noted in the types and locations of perimortem traumas. There is a significantly higher frequency of entrance gunshot wounds to the back of the head, suggestive of execution style murders, in the well series.     

Participation in Youth Programs as a Catalyst for Negotiation of Family Autonomy with Connection

Current research and theory suggest that the healthy path of autonomy development involves gradual negotiation of adolescents’ independence within a context of continued family connection. This theory-generating study examined the role that adolescents’ participation in youth programs plays in these adolescent-parent negotiations. Qualitative data from high-school-aged youth in 12 programs and from a sub-sample of parents were analyzed employing methods of grounded theory. These analyses suggest that program participation provides a pathway of opportunities for youth to exercise individual choice and develop qualities of self-reliance with parental approval. In turn, parents’ observation of self-reliance in the program and youth's demonstration of these qualities in family interactions can lead to changes in adolescent-parent relationships that provide youth greater family autonomy with connection.

我国经济适用房有限产权制度的法经济学分析

经济适用房有限产权制度是导致经济适用房制度在实施过程中产生诸多弊端的根本原因。在法学意义上,有限产权是一种不完整的产权,产权主体、收益权、处分权以及取得的对价等均受限制。在经济学意义上,有限产权是一种被削弱的产权,排他性和可交易性都受到限制。从法律经济学的视角分析,有限产权的这种安排不仅导致了交易费用的上升,也阻碍了经济适用房外部性内在化的进程。因此,必须对经济适用房的产权关系进行重新界定,才能更好地发挥经济适用房的功能。     

试论人的全面发展——以释放消费潜力为视角

人的全面发展包括能力、社会关系、个性与人的消费需求等方面的发展。中国当前的消费需求潜力巨大,但有待释放。由于各地经济社会发展不平衡,消费者的潜力释放受一系列体制和结构性矛盾的制约,直接影响人的全面发展。因此,释放巨大的消费潜力是人的全面发展的动力,而人的全面发展又是释放消费潜力、促进经济结构优化的目的,二者相辅相成,形成良性循环。     

合肥市出租车市场管制效应及其成因解析——基于转轨国家政府俘获理论的一个解释途径

出租车市场采用何种模式与政府的管制政策关系密切.不同的管制政策产生不同的经营模式,而不同的经营模式带来的后果迥异.其中,因为采用"北京模式"的城市经常发生群体性事件而备受争议,对因管制政策而引起的诸多矛盾和问题学者们更多从利益集团理论进行解释.但作者并不完全认同这种解释.以合肥市出租车市场作为"北京模式"的代表进行分析,通过运用对司机成本和收入的调查所得出的数据以及运用福利经济学理论分析了三大管制政策带来的效应,尤其是进入资格限制和强制挂靠这一管制政策所导致的司机利益向出租车公司的强制转移,然后以转轨国家的政府俘获理论为研究基础,从制度环境、管制政策的不合法和不合理性、出租车公司管理职能的虚置、出租车公司和政府部门之间存在利益链条等方面来论证得出合肥市出租车市场存在政府俘获问题,进而推出采用"北京模式"的其它城市的出租车市场也可能存在政府俘获问题.
