党校在繁荣发展哲学社会科学中的作用

在当前各种思潮相互激荡、信仰危机日益凸显的情况下,哲学社会科学所担负的任务将更加艰巨,而党校独特的政治、人才、系统优势使其成为推动哲学社会科学繁荣发展的重要力量。因此,党校应主动适应新形势、新任务的要求,通过以下三个方面发挥自身优势,为繁荣发展哲学社会科学作出新贡献：一是加强哲学社会科学研究,发挥＂思想库＂作用;二是加强教研人才队伍建设,发挥＂生力军＂作用;三是大力提高教学培训质量,发挥＂主阵地＂作用。

论危险驾驶罪的行为构成

危险驾驶罪包括两种行为:在道路上醉酒驾驶机动车和驾驶机动车追逐竞驶。醉驾是抽象危险犯,只要实施醉酒驾驶行为,立法就推定危险状态已经存在,彰显的是行为无价值。我国刑法的醉驾归属于形式犯,而非实质犯。在道路上驾驶机动车追逐竞驶,情节恶劣的,是具体的危险犯,突出的是结果无价值。     

Unionization and Restrictions on Foreign Direct Investment

Although inward foreign direct investment (FDI) has many benefits for a country as a whole, like trade, it is a source of competition for producers in the host country, with concomitant effects on labor markets. The entrance of foreign multinationals increases demand for skilled labor at the expense of unskilled labor, and also increases the elasticity of demand for labor because multinationals are able to shift production across borders. This raises the question of whether or not labor has an impact on policy toward inward FDI. I suggest that organized labor is a key determinant of the influence of labor on inward FDI restrictions. Not only do unions mitigate the collective action problem facing labor, but unionized workers, regardless of skill level, have incentives to support restrictions on inward FDI because rising elasticity of demand restricts bargaining power. I expect that higher levels of unionization will lead to greater restrictions on inward FDI. I find support for this hypothesis in an analysis of U.S. industry-level formal restrictions on inward FDI between 1981 and 2000. Industry skill intensity, a proxy for the distributional consequences of FDI for labor, does not explain variation in barriers to inward FDI, suggesting that the confluence of interests and influence is necessary for labor to influence policy.     

The Theory of Good Law in the Turning Period of Society——the Idea of Good Law from Mao Zedong’s How Shangyang Established Credit

In the era to comprehensively advance the rule of law, the good law theory in Mao Zedong’s article How Shangyang Established Credit has important theoretical and practical significance. It is argued in Mao’s article that the law is a tool to seek happiness for the people. Good law is to punish the wicked and protect the people, reinforce the prosperity of the country, establish prestige and save resources. The standard of legislation is in that the public accept and abide by the law. However, a good law is not to be immediately accepted by people and the state power is usually necessary to work as the medium and function with critical force in which the breakthrough point is found and the critical point is set so that the people are enlightened to promote the establishing and realization of the good law.     

Unveiling the Third Force: Toward Transitional Justice in the USA and South Africa, 1973–1994

This study compares the American and South African security responses to perceived communist-inspired insurgencies—the American Indian Movement in the USA and the United Democratic Front/African National Congress in South Africa. In each instance, the governments employed third force techniques by utilizing surrogates, informants, provocateurs, and hit squads. As a result, these official entities became complicit in the criminal political violence that ravaged the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Rand townships between 1973 and 1994. This study also examines how investigative commissions in each country endeavored to expose official misconduct and hold these agencies accountable for their actions. Despite the differences in the scale of each insurgency as well as the overall purpose of each counterinsurgency campaign, this article finds common ground in the rationale, implementation, and effects of the security responses in each country.
