发挥乡镇文化站职能服务新农村文化建设

选举权和被选举权,是我国公民基本的权利。然而,在当前我国农村选举参与的过程中,表现出了诸如乡镇政府不当干预、农村派系力量介入、贿选、农民的选举冷漠以及选举程序执行失范等种种问题。为了有效解决以上问题,在文化方面,要建设新型农村文化,提高农民的选举参与水平;引导农民树立正确的选举参与观念;树立正确的家族观。也只有采取以上措施才能解决好农村选举中出现的各种问题,才能保证农村选举的顺利进行,建设社会主义新农村,稳步构建和谐农村,和谐社会。     

以土地整理为载体推进社会主义新农村建设的实践与思考

一、土地整理与建设社会主义新农村的关系 土地整理是指采用工程、生物等措施,对农村地区田、水、路、林、村进行综合整治,从而增加有效耕地面积,提高土地质量和利用率,改善生产、生活条件和生态环境的活动.建设社会主义新农村是中共中央和国务院着眼解决农业、农村和农民"三农"问题作出的一个重大战略部署.土地整理与建设社会主义新农村之间又有什么关系呢?<中共中央关于制定国民经济和社会发展第十一个五年规划的建议>明确提出,建设社会主义新农村的目标是"生产发展、生活宽裕、乡风文明、村容整洁、管理民主".从这建设社会主义新农村的20字方针看,新农村建设既包括生产、生活等硬建设,也包括乡风、民主等软建设.

Coping by nonprofit organizations during the Reagan years

Contrary to expectations that a divested federal role would lead to the demise of nonprofit agencies, the relationship between nonprofit and government sectors in New York at the end of the 1980s was stronger than ever. This article presents longitudinal data for six nonprofit agencies in Rochester, New York, to demonstrate "management by groping along" during the Reagan years, behavior that resulted in increased reliance on state and local governments for funds and programs and in different ways of doing business.     

Perspectives on the architecture of Africa’s underprivileged urban dwellers

The expansion of cities in the developing economies of the world has one major urban corollary: the proliferation of unplanned parts of the cities, identified by a plethora of terminologies including bidonville, favela, ghetto, informal settlement, shantytown, spontaneous settlement, squatter settlement and township. Such urban conurbations are characterised by a unique form of architecture that historians find difficult to define. The fact that these architectural productions are overlooked by the historiography of modern architecture suggests a narrowed class‐oriented reading of the aesthetics engendered by the Modern Movement in architecture. Any paradigm introduced to bridge the existing gap should go beyond questions of construction methods and materials, and demonstrate a thorough understanding of the experiences of everyday life in such habitations, that is, the rise of modernity. This paper argues that the social environments which facilitated the development of the architecture of the underprivileged residents in African cities began in the late nineteenth century, when the great capitalist cities of the world began to emerge and expand. We expand on this position by examining the architectural construction of the underprivileged classes from four perspectives: a new urban culture of building practices; radical solutions proposed and provided by governments and agents of social change; visual and literary commentaries by artists and writers; and a survey of the writings of architectural historians on these themes.     

Social services and deviation from the Bismarckian model in Italy: the absence of a nationwide trend of change

This article analyses the processes of deviation from the Bismarckian welfare model in Italy, with a focus on social assistance. The sector was reformed in 2000, with new service provision functions being assigned to local institutions and the affirmation of a universalistic principle of access. However, an analysis of social expenditure data and a review of the process of implementation of the reform demonstrate that many local governments have been unable to enact the innovation and that a homogeneous nationwide trend of deviation from the Bismarckian tradition is absent. This absence is explained by looking both at the local institutional arrangements that have historically characterized the different Italian territories and at the present relationships among national, regional, and local governments.     

法律边疆地区的纠纷解决与职业系统

本文基于对我国农村地区法律服务状况的访谈和参与观察,通过对职业社会学管辖权冲突理论的改造应用,发现在我国的法律边疆地区,包括律师、基层法律工作者、司法助理员、赤脚律师乃至乡镇干部和村干部在内的各种法律服务提供者构成了一个相互关联的、分化成县城、乡镇、村落三层的法律职业层级系统。这一层级系统内部的劳动分工与互动过程不仅构成了国家与乡土社会之间纠纷解决的传导机制,而且塑造了我国农村地区法律职业的基本样态,是律师业在法律边疆地区发展缓慢的一个根本原因。

Paying nonprofits: Streamlining the new york state system

Many state and local governments now rely on contracts with nonprofit organizations to deliver a broad range of public services. Nonprofits benefit from these contracts but can also experience costly delays in obtaining payment for services delivered. The article describes two laws adopted by New York State to curb these delays. One law deals with slow payment of vouchers. The other addresses the costly problem of delayed delivery of contracts for activities such as child care or services to the disabled where nonprofits cannot stop delivering services without harm to the recipients.
