论我国民法上的公共利益——以合同法为中心

公共利益在法律上是一个开放的不确定概念,相当于传统民法中的公序良俗原则,具有一般条款的性质,属于＂法内漏洞＂。对于这一漏洞,必须根据宪法所确立的基本权利（对第三人的效力）来填补。合同法和物权法对公共利益的界定方式和着眼点是不同的。在合同法上,公共利益的类型化既不必要,也不可能。但在物权法上,公共利益的类型化既是可行的,也是必要的。     

我是谁?:流动少年的多元身份认同

在社会环境急剧变迁的当今中国社会,个体的认同不再是赋予和给定的,而处在不断的解构和建构的过程中。本文通过对北京市"城中村"流动少年多元身份认同的定性与定量研究,发现在城乡身份方面,大多数流动少年认为自己是"农村人",但同时也出现了"城市化了的"流动少年。流动少年的籍贯身份并不是确定无疑的,它受到情境和文化等多元因素的影响。而在社会表征性身份方面,流动少年并不认同"农民工子女"称谓,对"流动人口子女"身份也提出了质疑。多元异质的流动少年群体可以统合在"外地人"的社会范畴身份之中。     

妇女权益的恒久追求——1996～2006社会党妇女国际历次会议关于妇女权益保障综述

1996～2006年间,社会党妇女国际先后召开30余次会议,核心议题定位于消除社会上任何损害妇女权益的行为,争取妇女在普遍原则、发展、平等方面的权益。社会党妇女国际认为,新自由主义的勃兴及其治国理念的实施、教育资源缺少、传统社会的惯性思维等造成了妇女在暴力、性虐待、失业、童工、疾病、移民等问题上面临权益受损的严峻挑战。保障妇女权益的主要路经是:提高妇女的教育层次、经济地位、技术经验和卫生保健水平;完善保障妇女权益的国内法律法规和国际公约;充分发挥联合国、社会党国际及其成员党、各国政府的协调作用,整合世界资源,等等。     

我国社会和谐稳定的时序分析及模拟预警——运用社会指标理论和方法施行前馈控制可能性探索

根据中共十六届四中全会明确提出要“建立健全社会预警体系”的要求,我们尝试建立了一套对社会和谐稳定进行监测评估的预警指标体系。根据这一指标体系,采集了1985-2002年的有关数据,对社会和谐稳定状况进行了时间序列分析,以此来印证我们曾经经历的社会过程和本指标体系的实证效果,以期能够为各级政府提供一种预警工具,从而增强对社会和谐稳定的前馈控制能力。     

Patterns within prejudice: antisemitism in the United States in the 1940s

ABSTRACT

Ziege compares two field studies on ethnocentrism, racism and antisemitism among American workers during the Second World War: ‘Antisemitism among American Labor’ (1945) by the Frankfurt Institute of Social Research (ISR) in exile and Wartime Shipyard (1947) by Katherine Archibald at the University of California at Berkeley. The former was a large-scale team project headed by Friedrich Pollock, Theodor W. Adorno and Paul Massing, who had at their disposal a large number of fieldworkers as well as the support of the trade unions. Archibald worked in complete isolation. Yet, in spite of this and major differences in design and theory, the European Marxists and the American liberal came to similar conclusions: hostility towards Jews at that time had to be analysed in connection with hostility towards other groups (including women, Blacks, labourers from the American South and other ethnic and social minorities) and within the context of the war and the Holocaust. While aware of the innovations achieved in research by means of public opinion polls, both studies were pioneering in their ambition to improve on quantitative research by means of non-quantitative procedures and qualitative-participatory observation. Ziege links these studies to a third study, The Authoritarian Personality (1950), conducted by the ISR, particularly Adorno, which poses the question of how relevant the ISR's critical theory was for the innovations achieved in studies of prejudice, when Archibald's study, which eschewed social theory, arrived at similar conclusions regarding antisemitism.     

马来西亚华教运动与华人权益争取——以政治社会学为视角

社会运动自20世纪60年代兴起以来,已成为广大公民争取自身权益,表达利益诉求的重要管道。马来西亚华教运动的形成有其制度根源,在几十年的斗争过程中也积累了一定的经验,能为广大的海外华人及少数族裔争取自身权益提供一定的借鉴意义。虽然马来西亚华教运动在争取华人权益方面发挥了一定作用,但效果有限。这就要求少数族裔除了通过社会运动的方式争取权益外,更要积极培育及鼓励本族群的参政热情,提升本族群的政治话语权,或与国内其他少数族裔形成合力,以形成具有实质影响力的压力集团来影响政府政策的制定。     

Life-cycle effects on social pressure to vote

Recent scholarship reveals social pressure can compel citizens to conform to social norms like voting in elections. In this study, we investigate heterogeneity in the impact of social pressure to vote. We find that age, a key demographic characteristic, moderates the impact of social pressure. Using evidence from a large-scale randomized field experiment conducted in August 2006, we show that older voters are significantly more responsive to social pressure compared to younger voters. Given the emerging consensus that social pressure can be marshaled effectively to stimulate voting in elections, such investigations yield critical insights of both practical and theoretical significance.     

A mixed blessing for the left? Early voting,turnout and election outcomes in Norway

Is there a relationship between turnout and election outcomes? Although this is a classic topic in political science, most studies on multiparty systems have important theoretical and empirical shortcomings. First, we argue that the proper implication of the theoretical argument that underpins research on the turnout-vote nexus is that high levels of turnout should typically benefit both traditional social democratic parties and parties of the radical right relative to other types of parties, including not only those of the traditional right, but also ‘left-libertarian’ parties. Second, few have studied the relationship between turnout and election outcomes with a research design that is appropriate for causal inference. In our empirical study, our identification strategy is to exploit a Norwegian reform of early voting rules as an exogenous source of variation in turnout. Our theoretical expectations are largely borne out in our empirical results.     

法律的社会控制指导下社会治理模式探析——以新疆社会综合治理为例简

随着社会的发展,法律逐渐演变为调整社会关系最有力的手段.社会控制存在三个子系统：控制决策机构、社会和环境,三者之间存在着顺馈和反馈的信息传递关系.新疆社会综合治理是一个复杂的过程,法律的社会控制应由外在社会控制向内在社会控制即心理控制转变,转变的关键是塑造新疆少数民族群众的国家认同感.构建法律社会控制模型,将其运用于新疆社会的综合治理,为新疆社会和谐稳定的实现提供一种崭新的思路.     

Justice as freedom,fairness, compassion,and utilitarianism: How my life experiences shaped my views of justice

This essay lays out my definition of justice and traces the origins of its conception. I identify and discuss very specific life experiences and how they have affected my understanding of justice. Specific incidents include early childhood experiences, key events in adolescence, and the most important episodes from early adulthood. I examine my own family conditions and early relationships and consider the influences of certain television shows and music in childhood and adolescence. I also discuss the effects of various educational experiences. The culmination of these life experiences was the emergence of a very strong sense of justice, reciprocity, and compassion for others, particularly for the least powerful and most vulnerable in our midst. These experiences in essence pushed me into the field of criminal justice and into the worlds of academia and social justice activism. They also allowed me finally to see my mission in life and to understand how all my life experiences have shaped my sense of justice.
