对农村基层社会管理体制创新的现实思考

农村基层社会管理体制创新是加强和创新社会管理的关键,基层社会管理的水平直接关系到社会管理的效果。本文通过问卷调查和座谈交流等方式,分析了现阶段农村基层社会管理存在的问题及其原因,以建立健全法律法规、理顺基层社会关系等为着力点,提出了创新和完善农村基层社会管理体制的对策建议。     

农村社会管理体制创新的困境及对策

农村社会管理主体权威日渐弱化、"乡政村治"造成权力运行中的体制摩擦、农民组织化程度偏低、社会协同管理意识薄弱等是当前农村社会管理体制中存在的突出问题。因此,在新时期创新农村社会管理体制,应建立并完善农村社会管理多元主体的协调运转机制,建立健全统筹城乡发展的社会流动机制,建立健全农村社会矛盾纠纷预警调处机制,不断完善具有中国特色的农村社会保障机制。     

我国贫富差距现象分析与政府的行为选择

当前，我国贫富差距有逐渐拉大的趋势。正确认识这一现象，对其做出客观的评价，不仅有助于我们厘清政府在其中应该承担的责任，找到调整贫富差距的有效方法，而且对我国进一步深化分配体制改革、全面建成小康社会具有重大的战略意义。     

转型期劳工群体性事件的客观成因

当前,我国正处在一个社会转型期,这一时期的劳工群体性事件呈急剧增加态势。此类事件的频繁爆发有其深刻的客观原因,主要表现在经济、政治和社会三个方面。     

社会心理认知与构建社会主义和谐社会

构建社会主义和谐社会的核心是实现人的和谐,关键是通过认知社会成员的心理状况,及时调整相关政策措施,满足人们的合理需要,解决所存在的社会问题并干预或消解不良社会行为的发生以及通过激励有利于社会发展的社会行为,塑造积极健康的社会心理,在社会心理认知的基础上为构建社会主义和谐社会创造条件。     

浅谈黑社会性质犯罪的社会属性

黑社会性质犯罪作为一种社会存在有其特有的社会属性。它是因果关系最为复杂的社会问题,是社会危害最为严重的刑事犯罪,是影响社会政治稳定的严肃的政治问题。认识黑社会性质犯罪的社会属性,对黑社会性质犯罪进行定性研究,是解决黑社会性质犯罪问题的前提条件。     

法官独立--司法公正之根本前提和司法独立应有之义

法官独立乃司法独立应有之意,对于保障司法公正意义重大.针对目前法官权利、义务不一致,法官权利被侵犯的事情时有发生,重新审视现有法律、法规对于司法独立的规定极为必要.为此,恢复司法独立的本来涵义,从制度上真正实现法官的身份独立、实质独立、外部独立、内部独立,对于加强和改善党的领导,构筑和谐、公正的社会主义社会意义重大.因为只有公正的社会才可能是和谐的社会.     

法治视角的社会信用之构建刍议

社会信用是个人信用、企业的信用和政府信用的有机结合.其中,个人信用是社会信用的基础,企业信用是社会信用的主体,政府信用是社会信用的关键.社会信用缺失不独为个人信用和企业信用的缺失,政府信用缺失及其示范效应更为强烈.尽管个中缘由复杂,但法制及其整合功能的缺失无疑是问题的关键所在.因此,在法治视角下我们应以强化政府信用为重点,以确认和保护个人和企业的信用权为基础,以法治的功能性整合来构建我国的社会信用体系,实现社会信用的良性增长.     

“I am concerned with the future of my children”: the project economy and shifting views of education in a Tibetan pastoral community

Tibetan pastoralists have been subject to large-scale state-led development policies over the past three decades. The provisioning of institutionalized state schooling, in particular, has all along been part and parcel of these development projects, including urbanization and resettlement initiatives. However, for a variety of reasons, the promotion of schooling in Tibetan pastoral areas has been a challenge since the first Maoist efforts in 1950s. By focusing on a case study of a Buddhist monk’s persistent effort to build a primary school in his home village in the eastern region of Tibet in 1990, and on how Tibetan villagers’ views of him and his school project have changed over time, this paper examines the nexus of relationships between schooling, and social and cultural changes in pastoral Tibet. I also aim to relate Tibetan pastoralists’ shifting values of schooling to the larger social and political context, particularly the ubiquitous Chinese xiangmu (project) economy and Tibetan pastoralists’ ever-increasing dependence on the state. This paper argues that although state schooling is highly contested, it has been one of the driving forces of social change in Tibetan pastoral areas today.     

Protest by candlelight: A comparative analysis of candlelight vigils in South Korea

ABSTRACT

Protest activist leaders must make a series of decisions about the strategies they use; one such decision is the choice of tactic or performance, often informed by their cultural historic contentious repertoire. In South Korea's contentious repertoire, the use of candlelight vigils has become an increasingly prevalent form of protest tactic. Candlelight vigils have become an increasingly prominent tactic in South Korea’s repertoire over the last two decades, as evidenced by major candlelight vigils in 2002, 2008, and 2016-2017. In this study, we explore the ways in which candlelight vigils as a protest tactic have evolved over time in South Korea. We notably find that vigils emerged as a left-wing protest tactic in 2002, but right-wing protesters began adopting the tactic during the counter-protests opposing President Park Geun-Hye’s impeachment in 2016–2017 (Taegeukgi Giphoei). Additionally, we find that candlelight vigils drew participants from an increasingly wide swath of society over time and average citizens assumed greater organizational roles. This research not only contributes to the literature on South Korean social movements and civil society, but to understanding candlelight vigils as a distinct form of protest and how contentious repertoires evolve over time more broadly.
