美国环境公益诉讼的借鉴与启示

20世纪60年代的美国环境公益诉讼对环保法的发展起到了巨大的推动作用。环境公益诉讼作为一种新型的诉讼模式,专门适用于环境保护领域。同传统的诉讼形式相比,环境公益诉讼在原告资格、诉讼范围、诉讼请求等方面均有很大的不同。然而这种新的诉讼模式却能够很好地提供了公民参与和监督政府行为的途径。鉴于此,我国建立环境公益诉讼具有一定的必要性和可行性。     

Making Sense of Citizen Diplomats: The People of Duluth, Minnesota, as International Actors

What is citizen diplomacy and how do we assess its significance? These are important questions because of the recent upsurge in international activity of this kind, and because how we answer them says a great deal about how we "do IR." By examining citizen diplomacy in Duluth, Minnesota, this paper offers a typology of citizen diplomats organized around the ideas of who or what they are representing and to whom. Assessing the significance of citizen diplomacy is a more difficult problem since individuals tend to generate a priori answers to it based on our respective theoretical orientations to IR as a whole. As a solution to this problem, the paper proposes a "diplomatic" approach which focuses on both the representation of differences to one another and the professional commitment which diplomats have to maintaining the practices and institutions which make such relations possible.

论公民教育的内在机理

公民教育与民主息息相关，其实质是协调个人与政府、社会的关系，是实现个体政治社会化、法律社会化与道德社会化的过程。公民教育作为一个系统性的过程，由多种要素构成，其中社会环境是外在于公民教育的构成要素，教育主体、教育目标与内容以及教育方法与途径是内在于公民教育的构成要素。这些要素对公民教育的实施具有重要影响。我国在实施公民教育时应注重公民教育体系的构建、公民教育目标与内容的细化、公民教育课程的开发以及教材的编制。

Subculture,Gang Involvement,and Delinquency: A Study of Incarcerated Youth in China

The purpose of this study is to examine youth gang phenomena in China employing a two-step approach. The first step is to apply the delinquent subculture perspective to the explanation of variation in gang involvement; the second is to investigate the relationship between youth gang involvement and self-reported delinquency. The data for the study were collected from face-to-face interviews conducted with adjudicated youth offenders incarcerated in a province-run juvenile prison. Structural equation modeling is used to assess the direct and indirect effects of delinquent subculture exposure and gang involvement on three outcome variables of delinquency. The primary finding is that exposure to a subculture of violence is indeed a significant predictor of gang involvement. Importantly, gang involvement is significantly correlated with both violent offending and drug offending.

关于人大公民旁听制度的思考

人大公民旁听制度是各级人大在工作程序上实现的一次创新和突破,是对人大行使宪法和法律所赋予的权力实行的在场监督。公民通过旁听这一“直接民主”的形式,参与到立法机关立法工作实施的“现场”,这无疑是增强人大工作民主性和科学性的重要途径。目前,我国人大公民旁听制度在实施中存在问题,今后在实践中要不断改进和完善这一制度,提高公民参与旁听的积极性。     

Improving caregiver attendance at forensic service users’ psychiatric clinic appointments

In Singapore, families play an important role caring for mentally disordered offenders. They are particularly important in cases where courts oblige psychiatric assessment, because they provide corroborating information not otherwise volunteered. However, their attendance is generally low. Our quality improvement project sought to increase caregiver attendance at outpatient visits. We followed WHO guidelines for quality improvement, determined the root cause of poor attendance, and devised three Plan–Do–Study–Act cycles over six weeks in late 2013. We followed their impact for 12 months. Case managers and medical social workers implemented three strategies to address issues of poor communication and awareness, which led to poor attendance. Prior to our project, caregivers attended 47% of outpatient visits. Following the implementation of our strategies, rates rose to 70%, sustained over the 12 following months. The entire case management department adopted our strategies. Simple changes to standard operating procedures improved the rate of caregiver attendance at follow-up appointments.
