论农村的人情规则模式——以浙东税务场村为经验基础的框架理解

本文的立意在于发现一种不同于人情功能模式的人情规则模式。人情的社会功能与村庄公共性相连，而人情规则与个体性密不可分。笔者认为，人情规则是理解当今农村社会人情现象和村庄社会结构的基础。以浙东农村的社会经验为基础，笔者详细论述了人情中个人主体性的呈现、“请”的机制、人情与社会分化的互动。人情中的个人主体性是理解人情规则和其他人情现象的基础，人情规则是核心，社会分化是与现今人情规则相适应的社会结构特征。

浅谈“轻轻重重”与“宽严相济”

随着西方国家“轻轻重重”两极化刑事政策的确立及我国宽严相济刑事政策的提出,学界对两者相通性的探讨逐渐增多,但对两者区别的研究甚少。在对两者历史沿革、具体内容、价值取向进行比较分析的基础上,可以得出我国刑事政策的理性选择。     

United we stand: Constituency homogeneity and comparative party polarization

We argue that party polarization is a function of parties' distances, their internal homogeneity, and their relative sizes. While existing measures in political science incorporate the first and last feature, party homogeneity is typically neglected. Since virtually all polarization measures in one way or another incorporate distance, we suggest a simple way to adjust distance measures for party homogeneity. We then examine levels and trends of polarization in nine OECD countries using a newly collected data-set which includes left–right party positions based on both expert and mass surveys.     

网络极化现象研究——基于四个中文BBS论坛的内容分析

本文试图把"极化"这一概念引入网络政治传播的考察中,主要针对四个中文BBS论坛(强国深水、猫眼看人、天涯杂谈和新浪杂谈)政治讨论中的极端化态度分布状态进行描述与比较。结果显示,态度极化现象与论坛群体和特定的议题类别紧密相关。其中激进派聚集的论坛更容易出现极化;涉及"政府"的议题更容易在激进的论坛中出现极化,而在温和派占据主流的论坛则呈现非极化状态。同时,发帖积极性越高的ID越容易出现态度极化的现象;而且,网民的意见同质化程度越高,则群体极化的程度也就越高。     

转型期社会分层机制的变迁与问题

当前我国正处于加速转型期,即由传统社会向现代社会、由计划经济体制向市场经济体制过渡的时期。在转型过程中,社会分层机制表现出贫富分化加剧、社会分层机制方面欠公正等一系列问题。鉴于这些问题,社会分层机制应朝着以市场为主体,由市场、政府、民间团体相互配合、共同支配的方向发展。     

论中国传统文化视域的“网络群体极化”

互联网在现代生活中的重要性日益凸显,但互联网上频发的"网络群体极化"带来了一系列的社会问题。中国传统价值观中道德至上,个人价值、权利和自由的缺失是"网络群体极化"的潜在根由,为解决"网络群体极化"问题,建设健康、有序、文明的网络文化,需要加强互联网法治建设。     

Secular geographical polarization in the American South: The case of Texas, 1996–2010

This article uses fine-grained data to demonstrate that, since 1996, the State of Texas has undergone a process of ‘secular geographical polarization’ – a continuous divergence in the geographical bases of its political parties. It is suggested that this process exemplifies a new era of partisan politics in the American South. Analyses of spatial regression models show that the geographical polarization can be partially explained by a tighter link between demographic characteristics and aggregate voting patterns, but that growth in spatial clustering cannot be attributed entirely to demographics. The possibility that spatially-bounded social contexts are affecting partisan change is thus explored. Finally, the article's findings are considered in light of the growing debate about geographical polarization in the American electorate.     

Voting at 16: Intended and unintended consequences of Austria's electoral reform

Several democracies are currently debating whether to lower their legal voting age to 16, but relatively little is known about the long-term consequences of such reforms. We contribute to this debate by studying electoral habit formation among 16-year-old voters in Austria, where the national-level voting age was decreased in 2007. We employ eligibility-based regression discontinuities to evaluate two consequences of the reform. First, we show that eligible 16-year-olds are more likely to vote in future elections. Second, we demonstrate that the political consequences of this reform were not neutral. Newly eligible young voters are more likely to place themselves towards the extremes of the ideological spectrum. We also simulate the cumulative long-term impact on electoral outcomes and argue that the reform was costly for the centrist government parties that initially adopted it.
