人口密集场所恐怖事件处置研究

爆炸和人质劫持是人口密集场所恐怖事件的主要类型,对人口密集场所恐怖事件的处置应遵循正确的危机管理过程方法:建立实时的动态指挥体系及格式化的处置模式,采取妥当的现场处置与救援措施,加强对媒体的正确管理与引导,实现与媒体的良性互动,充分凸现人本理念,正确把握紧急状态下的人权保障问题。     

涉外群体性事件的预防与处置

涉外群体性事件具有涉外性、政治性、敏感性和复杂性等特点。当前,涉外群体性事件呈数量增多、地域更广、领域更宽、突发性更强、受操纵性更高的发展趋势。在防范和处置涉外群体性事件的过程中,应该考虑坚持三个原则,既维护主权与维护稳定相结合的原则、预警防范与果断处置相结合的原则、讲究策略与依法查处相结合的原则;应该把握三个重点:一是防止因对外国人的管理不到位,出现失控、漏管;二是防止因执法不到位,出现矛盾激化和被人操纵、利用;三是防止因预案准备不到位,出现事态严重化和失控。

To be or not to be Charlie Hebdo: ritual patterns of opinion formation in the social networks

The social sciences have mostly focused on the formation of social opinions from a semantic point of view: given a certain semantic field, interviews, statistics, and other analytical instruments are commonly deployed in order to map the distribution of views, their evolution, their conflicts and their agreements. Socio-semiotics, social semiotics, and the other semiotic branches that bear on social inquiry have contributed to the effort by providing semiotic grids of categorization. These grids too, however, have been mostly related to semantic contents circulating through societies and their cultures. The present article pursues a different hypothesis. After briefly recalling the events of 7–9 January 2015 in the Parisian area, the article seeks to survey and map the syntax of progressive differentiation of opinions circulating in the social networks about such events. Some patterns are identified and semiotically described: (1) cleavage; (2) comparative relativizing; (3) blurring sarcasm; (4) anonymity; (5) unfocused responsibility; (6) conspiracy thought. A new semiotic square is created to visually display these patterns, their positions, their relations, and their evolution.     

构建依法化解群体性事件纠纷机制的思考[1]

群体性事件是在经济转型期各种社会矛盾相互碰撞集中爆发的外在形式,其主要分为因经济发展不平衡、政治诉求难以满足和经济利益冲突转化为政治诉求引发的群体性事件等三种类型。国际社会有着成熟的处置群体性纠纷的方法和经验,在借鉴相关经验的基础上,应当通过建立社会调解机制、新型社会组织参与机制和信访运行机制,探索构建我国群体性事件的纠纷解决机制。     

政府在环境纠纷处理中的角色回归与职能矫正

我国经济高速发展30多年,环境欠账积弊日深,随着公众环境意识的提升,因环境问题而引发的群体性事件不断增多且形势日益严峻,不容忽视。环境群体性事件不断发生或得不到很好解决的根本原因在于地方政府在环境治理中的角色偏差和职能错位。要杜绝因政府角色偏差和职能错位导致的合谋行为,就必须加强监管,矫正政府在环境群体性事件中的角色偏差,进一步将职能从经济职能转移到社会服务上来,以保障环境群体性事件的解决和环境治理的效果。     

负面网络涉警事件研究

近年来,负面网络涉警事件日益增多,呈现不确定性、虚拟性、炒作性、延伸性等特征,各级公安部门应汇聚各方力量,进行网络舆情监测预警;成立专门队伍,引导网络涉警事件发展;搭建警民互动平台,依法合理处理诉求;探索措施,完善反馈评估制度;注重专项培训,提高警察素质;创新英模宣传机制,提升警察公共形象。     

Political crises,strategic choices,and terrorism: The rise and fall of the Uruguayan Tupamaros

In this article we offer a first attempt at providing a set of universal grading criteria for determining on what basis, and how far, an item of discursive content can be considered “terroristic.” In doing so, we draw loosely on the existing COPINE scale for child abuse images. The scale described in the article is not intended to reflect actual risk of engagement in terrorist violence, nor is it intended to have evidential validity in relation to offenses in certain jurisdictions relating to “terrorist publications.” Rather, by formalising assumptions which seem already to be latent in the literature on terrorist use of the Internet, it aspires to serve as a starting point for a more methodologically coherent approach to relationships between content—particularly online content—and terrorism.     

Religious Rage: A Quantitative Analysis of the Intensity of Religious Conflicts

ABSTRACT

The conventional wisdom that religious conflicts are more intense than other types of conflicts is tested in this study using a cross-sectional time series analysis. The statistical test evaluates the intensity of 278 territorial conflict phases in the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo, Norway (PRIO) Armed Conflict Dataset. The results indicate support for the assumption that religious conflicts are more intense than other types of conflicts; however, the relationship disappears when the relevance of religion is taken into account. Furthermore, this study evaluates the relationship of conflict intensity with the type of religion involved in the conflict and determines that no religion exhibits a significantly higher or lower intensity than the others.     

The Internet: A Virtual Training Camp?

This study aims to investigate how Al Qaeda uses the Internet for military training and preparation. What kind of training material is available on jihadi webpages, who produces it, and for what purpose? The article argues that in spite of a vast amount of training-related literature online, there have been few organized efforts by Al Qaeda to train their followers by way of the Internet. The Internet is per today not a “virtual training camp” organized from above, but rather a resource bank maintained and accessed largely by self-radicalized sympathizers.
