收入平等的制度基础:主体行为的视角

制度广义上包括个体的思想意识和政府的政策规定。缓解收入不平等,既应注重微观个体的意识重构,又应侧重政府层面的政策设计,因此,从主体行为的角度分析收入分配结构的调整和经济发展方式的转变是一种涉及制度基础的、追根溯源式的创新性尝试。文章的观点是:第一,缓解收入不平等应遵循一种“合理有效的平等机制”,即经济个体都可以而且应该充分利用其所拥有的和可获得的资源禀赋,去实现自由发展;第二,在不同收入阶层中,低收入者既应合理地看待不平等现象,又应通过积极努力以实现向上流动;高收入者则应有效地降低社会阶层间的心理割裂,同时又应主动地补偿低收入者的资源耗损;第三,政府应设计并遵循“合理有效的平等机制”,应搭建经济个体充分发挥资源禀赋的发展平台。     

什么样的“闹大”成功了?--基于40个案例的定性比较分析

社会中层出不穷的"闹大"是公共治理状况的一面"镜子",也是转型时期政策议程建构的重要路径。本文采用清晰集定性比较分析(csQCA),对2003-2019年发生的40个"闹大"案例进行比较研究。研究结果表明,上级(层)政府支持是"闹大"成功的必要条件。推动"闹大"成功的充分条件组合共有八种,可具体归纳为制度框架使用模式、集体施压模式、专家引导模式和暴力强推模式等四种解释模型。公民"闹大"成功是多个条件组合的结果,在核心条件发挥基础作用的前提下,适当的辅助条件更容易触发政策议程,推动问题解决。文章为公民"闹大"的行动逻辑提供了新的因果解释机制,也为理解形形色色的"闹大"现象提供了新的理论工具。     

德国宪法史上的一次二元民主制探索及其思想意义

作为十一月革命产物的魏玛制宪面临着两难困境,革命后的国际国内政治环境倒逼德国民主化,然而,无论“作为政治观念的民主”还是“作为统治形式的民主”,在德国都缺少历史与社会根基,魏玛制宪能依凭的民主传统与思想资源非常单薄。以民主主义政治理论家普罗伊斯为灵魂人物的制宪者代表德国人民作出一个根本政治决断,即为了德国免于苏维埃化就必须立即建立以议会民主制为根基的“人民国家”。为回应国内反议会民主制的强大政治意见,制宪者又引入全民公投与直选总统这两种准民粹主义民主制。魏玛宪法由此呈现出古典代议制民主与民粹主义民主并置的二元民主制模式。这个模式被认为是魏玛宪法的结构性缺陷和德国首个民主共和政体失败的宪制原因之一。德国宪制史上经历的民主制度与民主思想争锋,作为产生了世界性正反历史影响的典型事态,对当代思考宪法与议会制民主、民粹式民主、防御性民主的复杂关系,界定民主宪制的规范语义场依旧有镜鉴意义。

Prisons or Problem-Solving: Does the Public Support Specialty Courts?

ABSTRACT

Recently, “problem-solving” courts have been developed as an alternative to imprisonment. They are often called “specialty” courts because they process and divert into treatment programs offenders who are seen as different from the general criminal population, such as those with mental health or drug problems, those who are homeless or veterans, and those who engage in domestic violence. Based on a 2017 national survey of 1,000 respondents, the current study examines overall public support for rehabilitation as a goal of corrections and then focuses specifically on support for different types of specialty courts. The analysis reveals that the American public endorses not only the rehabilitative ideal but also the use of problem-solving courts. Further, with only minimal variation, strong support for these courts appears to exist regardless of political orientation and sociodemographic characteristics.

Applying Moral Foundations Theory to the Explanation of Capital Jurors’ Sentencing Decisions

Abstract

This study applies moral foundations theory to capital juror decision making. We hypothesized that binding moral foundations would predict death qualification and punitive sentencing decisions, whereas individualizing moral foundations would be associated with juror disqualification and a leniency effect. Additionally, we considered whether moral foundations can explain differences in death penalty application between conservatives and liberals. Respondents from two independent samples participated in a mock-juror task in which the circumstances of a hypothetical defendant’s case varied. Results revealed moral foundations were strong predictors of death qualification. The binding and individualizing foundations were related to sentencing decisions in the expected ways. Supporting our contention that moral foundations operate differently across different types of cases, heterogeneity in the effects of moral foundations was observed. Finally, we found support for the hypothesis that the relationship between sentencing decisions and conservatism would be attenuated by moral foundations.
