略论加强对权力的制约和监督

加强对权力的制约和监督,必须以"三个代表"重要思想为指导,坚持人民当家作主原则、权力制衡原则、依法治权原则以及党的领导原则。加强权力运作中的制约和监督,重在制度建设和机制创新。一是必须建立制约有效的权力运作机制;二是必须完善权力运作过程中的民主监督制度。

Social Influence and the Power of Minorities: An Analysis of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Communist Manifesto</Emphasis>

In this paper, we investigate the strategies that a minority uses to exert direct influence toward social change through the qualitative analysis of a document that has prompted people toward collective action and change, namely the Communist Manifesto. To inform and guide the qualitative analysis, a social psychological model of social influence was used (G. Mugny, The Power of Minorities, Academic Press, London, 1982). According to this model, in order for minorities to exert influence it is important to target those in the majority that, although perhaps numerous, are powerless. The minority needs to create and maintain an antagonism with the powerful majority while, simultaneously, it needs to boost the identity of the powerless majority and to invent itself as the group that can guide them to overthrow the powerful. The analysis suggests that the minority follows three strategies: (a) The declaration of a world vision suggesting a system of categorization that objectifies power relations and creates different targets for influence and for conflict; (b) The construction of the minoritys identity as a particular group that is part but prototypical of the target of influence–the population; (c) The creation and maintenance of relations of antagonism with that part of the majority that holds the power. This enables the minority to avoid being portrayed as deviants, enables them to stand as equals to the majority, and creates the impression that the minority has the potential to overthrow the powerful majority from its position.     

Intergroup Biases as a Function of Reflected Status Appraisals and Support for Legitimizing Ideologies: Evidence from the USA and Israel

Theory and research suggest that members of high-status groups feel more positively about their own group than members of low-status groups feel about their group. The studies presented here test two hypotheses derived from this general idea (1) that members of high-status groups will show greater bias in favor of the in-group when they believe that others perceive the status difference between their group and relevant low-status groups to be larger; and (2) that this relationship will be stronger when high-status group members also endorse ideologies legitimizing their privileged status. However, because low group status may have self-protective properties, it was hypothesized that imputed status differences would not relate to out-group bias among low-status group members, regardless of ideology endorsement. Two studies—using samples from the United States and Israel, respectively—provided clear support for these hypotheses. Implications for the study of both intergroup biases and legitimizing ideologies are discussed.     

毛泽东执政党思想作风忧患意识

毛泽东执政党思想作风忧患意识,立足于中国共产党的历史与现状,强调坚持执政为民,就必须坚持与发扬谦虚谨慎、不骄不躁的作风;立足于党的庄严使命和社会重任,强调要坚持执政兴邦,就必须保持和发扬艰苦奋斗的作风;立足于反腐蚀、经受执政考验,强调保持党的政治本色,就必须要特别警惕资产阶级思想的侵蚀,防止自身蜕化变质。其在运用及价值实现方面把握了三个关键性问题:注重反思历史、审视现实与坚持、发扬党的优良作风的高度统一:注重加强党的思想作风建设与体现党的性质、宗旨的高度统一;注重拒腐防变、勤政廉政与确保党不变质、国不变色的高度统一。     

对公安机关处置群体性事件工作的思考

公安机关作为维护稳定的主力军,积极预防、妥善处置群体性事件,责无旁贷。但是,群体性事件所包含的内容十分广泛,其性质、表现形式、社会危害性都不尽相同,需要采取的措施也不一样。就公安机关的职责权限而言,重点是积极预防、妥善处置群体性事性。     

正确认识和运用公共权力

公共生活和公共利益是公共权力产生的基础。公共权力具有公共性、权威性、腐蚀性和扩张性的特点。公共权力的滥用、悬置、缺位和错位是公共权力侵害公民权利的主要原因,对公共权力的制约是保证公共权力正确运用的前提。     

紧急状态下公民基本权利的限制与保障

在紧急状态下,国家必须行使紧急权力以维护公共利益,恢复社会秩序,因此紧急权力对公民基本权利作一定的限制是必要的,但由于国家权力的扩张性使然,必须同时对紧急权力加以限制,以使对公民基本权利的限制保持在合理限度内,这样才能真正使公民的权利得到保障.     

侦查权性质刍议

对于刑事诉讼中侦查职能的定位与侦查权的性质,我国学术界存在着不同的认识。文章首先从侦查权的概念入手,通过对侦查权基本特征的比较分析,明确侦查权的行政属性,在此基础上对我国侦查权的司法控制作一宏观上的建构,以规范我国侦查权的行使,从而达到惩罚犯罪与保障人权的最佳平衡。     

Will the Government Catch the Wind?

The government's Renewable Obligation system aims to supply 10 per cent of UK electricity from renewable sources by 2010. Although the headlines suggest that planning controversies hamper these objectives, by the summer of 2004 enough capacity had been given planning consent to supply 4 per cent of UK electricity from new renewable energy sources. Enough renewable capacity to supply 7 per cent of UK electricity from renewables will probably be operational by 2010. The bulk of this is coming from onshore wind power, especially based in Scotland, and also offshore wind power. The offshore schemes are more expensive and need additional support outside the Renewable Obligation. The Conservatives have promised to bring in planning curbs for onshore wind power. There is pressure for more nuclear power, but this is likely to be impossible to finance without a very large subsidy from the Department of Trade and Industry.
