In Circle: A Healthy Relationship,Domestic Violence,and HIV Intervention for African American Couples

While marriage and healthy relationship education has grown, limited interventions have been developed specifically to support the development and flourishing of African American couples. African Americans are also disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS and are more likely to experience lethality and serious injury due to domestic violence compared to Whites. Despite this, African American couples have been resilient and managed to thrive in relationships. Little has been done to capture these strategies, build on cultural strengths, and design an intervention specifically crafted for this population. This article describes an intervention “In Circle” developed, implemented, and evaluated for African American couples to support healthy relationship and healthy marriage education. The intervention is based on an Ancient Egyptian value system and undergirded by three integrated theoretical perspectives. The article also includes implications for practice and research.     

Hesitant Madams in a Global City: Japanese Expat Wives and their Global Householding in Hong Kong

Care work, once a sanctioned labor of love, is increasingly commodified in transnational contexts. The picture of migrant women shouldering the housework and child care of local professonal women may seem like a mutually beneficial arrangement—matching the “needs” of the haves and have-nots—, but the global care chain ultimately works to maintain the traditional gendered division of labor as well as global inequality. To this trend of globalization of care work, Japan has been an exception; however, how much longer it will be so is now in a question, as the government paves the way for importing domestic labor from abroad. This article focuses on Japanese expat wives in Hong Kong in order to locate Japanese women vis-à-vis the global care chain. The narrative analysis on how they decide whether to hire a domestic worker in their home away from home highlights the sociopolitical nature of their supposedly private choices. Some drew on cultural ideal of wifehood and motherhood to rationalize their choice while others referred to racialized or even overtly racist and classist images of foreign domestic workers. A few women spoke against the system itself, showing awareness of its inherent social injustice. All such narratives are never purely personal; their decisions and the rationalization behind them sustain the prevailing discourses of gender, race, ethnicity, culture, and class, which, in turn, envelop their attempts at global householding.

农民工与城市发展

80年代中后期,随着经济改革和经济结构的变化,中国大批的农村剩余劳动力开始自发地、大规模地、跨地区流向大中城市,形成一股无法抗拒的"民工潮"。大批的农民工进城就业对促进城市的发展,尤其是经济发展起到了重要作用,但同时也给城市的管理带来了压力。如何全面正确的认识农民工问题,引导他们在城市合理有序的流动已成为亟待解决的问题。     

农民工社会保障机制问题探讨

农民工作为当今社会特殊的弱势群体,他们的社会保障机制还很不健全,这不仅表现在他们的社会保障程度低,而且还表现在实施效果不佳。为了更好地发挥农民工的作用,需要建立和完善农民工社会保障机制。首先,要为农民工的社会保障扫清障碍,进行系列改革;其次,要建立农村社会保障体制。     

论人力资本投资与健康城市建设

从人力资本投资角度研究健康城市建设,我们发现,健康城市建设与人力资本投资是一种相辅相成的关系。一方面,健康城市建设具有增进人力资本的巨大功能,健康城市的宗旨、过程和具体指标都起到了增加人力资本存量的客观效果;另一方面,人力资本投资推动了健康城市建设,对教育、医疗保健、劳动力流动等方面的投资是健康城市建设的先决条件。因此,必须优化人力资本投资的主体结构、类别结构、地区结构和城乡结构,推进健康城市建设。     

印度对中国崛起的认知

在中印共同崛起的大背景下,探究印度对中国崛起的认知尤为必要。通过皮尤＂全球态度调查＂项目的数据可见印度对中国崛起的认知呈现＂负面＂态势。究其原因,在个人层面,印度公众对中国的无知与冷漠以及某些媒体记者对中国的歪曲报道直接造成这一结果;在国家层面,中印之间在边界争端、西藏问题、中印巴和中美印这四个关键议题上存在分歧,而这些敏感的议题又通过媒体的肆意渲染而影响印度公众对中国崛起的认知;印度公众对中国崛起的认知源于中印之间存在的＂安全困境＂。     

论经济人的理性冲突及行为目标

基于经济人假设的传统经济理论认为人们具有完全理性能力,但现实中行为人的决策理性程度.经常处于完全理性与有限理性两种情境的转换之中.从研究范式和最终行为目标两个视角来看,完全理性情境下人们遵循最优化原则追求决策收益的最大化;而有限理性情境下则遵循决策收益和过程的满意原则.基于经济人的行为心理及认知能力来分析,追求主观幸福感最大化才是人类经济行为的最终唯一目标.建立于行为经济人基础上的经济发展理论与实践.才是一个国家和地区以人为本、和谐发展的必然要求.     

当代中国转型社会新生代农民工的基本问题

从改革开放至今,随着农村劳动力开始大规模地向城市转移,农民工内部也出现了代际变化,新生代农民工逐渐成为农民工的主体,并在我国社会主义转型过程中发挥着重要的作用。与父辈们不同,他们希望能更好地融人城市,享受与城市居民一样的就业、保险、医疗、教育等方面的平等待遇。因此,本文从新生代农民工的特点出发,寻找出其利益诉求的新变化及困境,从而探索由国家、政府、企业、个人、社会团体所共同组建的多方权益保障机制,切实维护新生代农民工的合法权益。
