Implications of Subsidiarity for the Care of Older People in Germany

This paper examines definitions and origins of the principle of subsidiarity and its application to welfare systems of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) with particular reference to the care of older people. The German corporatist welfare system is influenced by conservative views about status relations and Catholic teachings on family responsibilities. Since unification of Germany in 1990 new care systems based on the principle of subsidiarity have been imposed in eastern Germany. The FRG's social insurance system based on entitlement benefits those fully employed, while women and marginalized groups with low status in the labour market are poorly covered by insurance and may have to rely on stigmatizing means-tested social welfare based on subsidiarity. Access to pluralist, fragmented care services depends on eligibility for funding through insurance or social welfare or else on ability to pay. Social care is poorly developed because of the emphasis on insurance and the medical model as well as on the principles of subsidiarity and self help which place an explicit duty on the family, mainly women, to care.

The Right of Young People to be Heard

In 1993 the New Zealand Government ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It placed a reservation against Article 32 maintaining that legislation of a minimum age for entry into employment would not be in the best interests of children. The Government is reconsidering this reservation. Article 12 of the Convention provides for states to involve children in legislation that affects them. In a survey funded by the Department of Labour to find out more about young workers (Gasson, Linsell, Gasson, & Mundy‐McPherson, 2003) we asked school students whether they thought the Government should legislate a minimum age for employment. Most did not. I argue that the Government should seriously consider children's views even when they conflict with the views of agencies whose intent is to promote the best interests of children.

Mainstreaming Equality: Implications of the Provision of Support at Home for Majority and Minority Ethnic Older People

This paper explores the potential impact and practical difficulties of mainstreaming equalities in support at home for minority and majority ethnic older people, drawing on two linked empirical research projects. Social care providers have long faced difficulties in catering for diversity of need. Recently, diversity within minority ethnic groups has increased, and there is now a statutory duty to promote equality. Research findings illustrate the complexity of exclusionary processes, with particular reference to the example of health care. There is a gap between the high‐level commitment to mainstreaming equality and people's lived experiences. Autonomy and choice are central to community care legislation, policy and practice guidance, but in reality, the research shows that choices are limited for both minority and majority older people. More user‐focused approaches and grassroots involvement may offer ways forward, despite some limitations of current models. In conclusion, the potentiality of a broad mainstreaming equality perspective is highlighted, but challenges include a need for a more grounded approach, better engagement with user groups and a need to focus on understanding issues of implementation.     

古印度吠陀时代之业论

业,是印度宗教哲学最重要的观念之一。本文指出,在《梨俱吠陀》、《阿闼陀吠陀》、《梵书》中,＂业＂一词虽系就献祭或一般行为而言,但业报积存、天堂地狱等说法,已逐步形成。至奥义书,明确指出善恶行为会有相对应的结果,影响来生的命运;人如能与梵合一,可永恒不朽,否则不断转生。由此可见,业报轮回说已十分成熟,并成为梵我理论的有机组成部分;而业报转移和临终一念决定转世去向的说法,亦见于《奥义书》。凡此种种,皆应为佛学研究者所注意。     

Access to justice for Aboriginal People in the Northern Territory

This article discusses research in the Northern Territory on Aboriginal civil and family law needs. It is based on focus group discussions and interviews with legal services providers and other associated organisations. The article argues that key areas of legal need involve discrimination, housing, child protection, social security, credit/debt and consumer law problems. It further argues that welfare conditionality, particularly as embodied in the NT Intervention and subsequent Stronger Futures policies, has exacerbated the need for legal assistance and advocacy for Aboriginal people.

中国古代复古思潮的时间性考察

一般说到"复古"就是回到古代,返回到过去时间.这种理解是基于一种现代线性时间观亦即自然进化论而发的.实际上,中国古代屡次出现的复古现象是与古人的时闻意识相贯通的.复古观念不一定就是历史的倒退,其时间性的依据表现在以下两方面:一是人们对过去时间的美好建构;二是中国古代带有意识形态性的循环时间观.事实上,古人很少是纯粹为了过去而过去,他们每一句言论都是着眼于当下和未来而发的.复古只是一个旗号,是出于正名的需要,其真实的动机是为了"通今".
