International Rule of Law and Rule of Law Construction in China

The rule of law has international as well as domestic attributes, so it can be divided into two levels: the domestic rule of law and the international rule of law. Using the thinking behind the international rule of law to build the rule of law in China is both necessary and inevitable. China should put into practice the idea of the international rule of law at the institutional and the governance levels, and should at the same time participate in the UN’s rule of law activities and in international rule-making, thereby extending its rule of law discourse power and influence in the international sphere.     

Peer violence in foster care: a review of the research evidence

Whilst a small amount of research has been undertaken on peer violence in residential settings, very little is known about peer violence in foster care. This paper reviews the published research since 1995 about the nature and extent of peer violence in foster care and interventions for preventing and managing these negative peer interactions. The evidence indicates that young people in foster care can be the instigators and recipients of peer violence, but the limited number of studies found means that conclusions cannot be drawn about the extent of the problem. There is some evidence about the impact of this type of violence on young people and fostering households. However, there remain gaps in the evidence about the full extent of all forms of exploitation and violence that are experienced and instigated by young people in foster care, the circumstances in which it takes place, the young people affected and its co‐occurrence with other difficulties. Critically, young people's views were largely absent from included studies, an important area that requires further research.     

Has Family Policy Come of Age? A Decade Review of the State of U.S. Family Policy in the 1990s

Family policy has come of age in the 1990s, yet it has not achieved a status commensurate with that of economic or environmental policy. Because family policy has been difficult to define, this review proposes an explicit definition of the term family policy and a companion implicit term, a family perspective in policy making It updates the rationale for family policy, arguing that family commitment at its core is particularly consequential in an individualistic market economy with a small social safety net. It chronicles recent developments including philanthropic commitments, state and federal policy initiatives, and the use of research to inform family policy making. Selected family policy issues including family and work conflict, long-term care, family poverty, and marriage, are overviewed. The paper concludes with developments during the decade in theory, methods, and dissemination that hold the potential for capitalizing on the current popularity of families as a theme in policy making.

All Shook Up: Sexuality of Mid- to Later Life Married Couples

The authors integrate theoretical work on the performance of gender with a life course perspective to frame an analysis of in-depth interviews with 17 long-term married couples. The findings indicated that couples' sexual experiences are characterized by change over time, yet that change is shaped by the intersection of gender and age. Midlife couples (ages 50 - 69) were distressed by changes in their sex lives likely because they impede couples from performing gendered sexuality. The source of this distress stems from age-related physical changes; however, it manifests in different ways for husbands and wives. In contrast, later life couples (ages 70 - 86) were more likely to emphasize the importance of emotional intimacy over sex as they age. Marital sex is a source of conflict for many midlife couples because of husbands' and wives' incongruent experiences, but later life husbands and wives tend to have more congruent experiences of marital sex.

从彰显到消失:集体主义时期的家庭劳动(1949-1966)

集体主义时期,为追求经济超速发展实行高积累低消费"以生产为中心"的发展策略。国家有意识地把性别化分工编织进大生产体制,由妇女无酬承担起绝大部分的再生产职责。国家对于妇女的家内劳动并非完全"看不见",而是努力对家务劳动进行理论化,以确立家务劳动及其承担者在社会主义生产体制中的位置。女工、农妇、职工家属/家属工三个妇女群体与生产的关系决定了国家对于她们家内劳动的不同态度以及她们的政治地位。     

凉山平坝彝族丧葬文化变迁的斜向性结构研究——以喜德大石头和冕宁漫水湾为个案

凉山平坝彝族主要指居住在安宁河流域平坝地区、以种植水稻为生、汉化程度较高的那部分彝族。由于与汉族接触较多,他们在语言、服饰、习俗等方面受汉文化的影响也较深。本文主要以喜德大石头和冕宁漫水湾平坝彝族的丧葬习俗为调查研究对象,在田野调查的基础上,揭示所发生的文化变迁及其影响,并认为:平坝彝族葬俗的变迁并不是单一方面所发生的文化变化,体现出的是文化叠合与文化选择的特质。
