关于自由的思考——重温贝拉米《重新思考自由主义》

在当今世界，大概没有哪个政治家会公开否认热爱自由是人的本质之一，或者也可以说，人类的文明史就是一部人类摆脱各种奴役状态、追求自由的历史。然而，正如卢梭所说，人生而自由，却无处不在桎梏之中。为何人的本性与人的追求会形成这样一个悖论，     

对公民行政知情权的法理分析

一、国外公民行政知情权的比较分析 瑞典是一个十分重视出版自由、表达自由和信息自由的国家。是通过指定信息公开制度来保障公民行政知情权的发源地，是世界上最早通过确立新闻出版自由和政府文件公开制度来间接保障公民行政知情权的国家。不同于制定单一宪法法典的模式的国家，瑞典宪法由四部宪法性法律组成：

把握你的情感周期

在日常生活中，我们不难发现这样的现象：同样一个人，有时候和蔼可亲，有时候则不近人情。对这种现象，人们总归结于心境的原因；其实，其深层的心理机制，就是维也纳大学赛柏特博士所揭示的个体“情感周期”，     

失踪人是否可以继承他人财产，失踪人的财产是否可以被他人继承？

问：我的一位亲属在大地震中失踪，我想问一下，失踪人能否继承他人的财产．他的财产可否被他人继承？ 答：失踪是公民离开自．己的住所后没有任何音信而处于下落不明的状态。我国《民法通则》第二十条规定：“公民下落不明满2年的，利害关系人可以向人民法院申请宣告失踪”。     

不讲效率的公民（下）

亚里士多德把幸福定义为“完满的幸福（eudaimonia）”，意思是和身体快感相对的具体精神状态。在区分奴隶和自由公民时，亚里士多德说一个自由人必须能够独立于必需品法则，否则，他就不是自由的。如果一个人工作生产是为了消费，而消费是为了更多地生产的恶性循环，很难说他是自由的。     

只想好好活着

“再也不能这样活，再也不能这样过……”记得2006年的春节，我一个人在书房里任由这首歌一遍又一遍地敲打心灵。脑子里闪现着自己一个个十分落魄的镜头。我抽着烟，烟雾缭绕，一如我迷茫困苦的心境。我近乎绝望地体会着自己在现实中以卵击石的苍凉和悲哀。

网络背景下公民言论自由权行使问题

言论自由权是宪法赋予我们每个人的权利,网络的出现为言论自由的实现提供了新的环境,丰富了言论自由权的内涵,可与此同时也带来了一些问题,如何正确运用自由权,恰当地行使权利成为了每个公民都应当关注的问题。权利和义务是两个关系很密切的话题,公民在行使权利的时候,也一定要遵守相应的义务,自由的边界是他人的自由。通过对网络环境中公民言论自由权行使现状的探究,可以更好地认识言论自由权的边界,认识到出现的问题背后的深层因素,这样就可以保证言论自由权被正确合理地行使。     

公民的新闻自由与新闻记者的权利

宪法规定公民有言论,出版自由的权利．而新闻自由权是公民行使宪法所保障的言论自由权的重要形式：记者作为公民,必然享有这一权利。但是,新闻自由并不是指记者的新闻自由．新闻记者把寻求、获取、传播信息作为自己的职业,是为了使广大公民更好地实现自己的言论、出版、新闻自由等权利。     

Reproductions of global security: accounting for the private security household

ABSTRACT

This article shows how private security households exist at the nexus of two foundational logics of contemporary warfare—militarism and neoliberalism. The celebration of neoliberalism and normalization of militarism allow the private security industry to draw upon the labor of eager contractors and their supportive spouses. This article develops a feminist analysis of the role of the private security household in global security assemblages. In what ways are households connected to the outsourcing of security work to Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs), and how are these connections gendered? Through interviews with female spouses of former UK Special Air Services soldiers, now private security contractors, we demonstrate how the household is both silenced and yet indispensable to how PMSCs operate and how liberal states conduct war. These spouses supported the transition from military service to private security work, managed the household, and planned their careers or sacrificed them to accommodate their husband’s security work. Their gendered labor was conditioned by former military life but animated by neoliberal market logics. For the most part, the women we interviewed normalized the militarized values of their husband’s work and celebrated the freedom and financial rewards this type of security work brought.     

Social security and part-time employment

"The author examines social security provisions that constitute obstacles to part-time employment before considering a number of measures that could be taken to make the schemes more flexible and hence promote part-time employment both as a means of meeting the needs of many workers and as a form of work sharing that can help to combat unemployment." The geographical focus is on developed countries, with an emphasis on Europe.     

Public support for social security

This article reports the results of a nationally representative survey of 1,209 Americans that examines their support for Social Security and six other major social welfare programs. It probes the extent to which members of the public are willing to demonstrate their support, the differences in support among population subgroups, and the extent to which perceptions of Social Security and Social Security recipients predict overall support for Social Security. The authors find high levels of support among members of the public, including a willingness both to write letters to congress members and to pay higher taxes. Some groups of citizens—especially blacks and those who classify themselves as liberals—are more supportive than others, but the differences are not great and contribute little toward explaining the variance in support. The perceptions that the program makes a worthwhile contribution to society and that recipients have no alternative sources of income other than Social Security contribute the most toward predicting overall support for Social Security.
