马克斯·韦伯与教育社会学研究

在韦伯的社会学中,各个分支社会学之间存在着有机的关联,宗教、政治、经济、法律、教育混成一体,很难区分出中心和边缘。也正因如此,论述韦伯的教育社会学,就绝非是在描述韦伯社会学中一些处在边缘的非体系性的有关教育的散论,我们更应看到的是它内含着丰富的问题意识和思想性。在“韦伯的教育社会学”层面,我们可以讨论韦伯就教育究竟著述了些什么;在“韦伯式的教育社会学”层面,我们可以着重探讨后人在韦伯的理论和方法论的影响下进行了怎样的教育社会学研究;在“韦伯的社会学与教育”层面,要讨论的是,从韦伯的社会学原著中,或者从有关韦伯社会学的研究中,我们可以发掘出什么样的具有深层次启发意义的教育研究命题。     

论刑法中的国家机关工作人员

为探寻刑法中“国家机关工作人员”正当而科学的判断标准,我们提出了关于“国家机关工作人员”本质的“公职论”,探讨了“公职论”的法理根基与政治学基础,并进行了“国家机关工作人员”的刑法学释义与分类。     

均势和平论剖析

均势是个理论内涵丰富,实践操作复杂的国际战略,从近代以来它一直为西方政治家、战略家和外交家所推崇,因为他们相信均势能够给“自然状态”下的国际社会带来和平愿景。本文对国际国内学术界关于和平与均势的定义、特征、分类以及均势的功用等方面所取得的研究成果进行梳理,对国际关系理论范式关于均势与和平互动解读的得失作一个客观性评价。     

论“国际社会”的意识形态性——兼论我国国际话语权的提升

作为国际政治领域的重要概念,“国际社会”具有两面性。从表面上看,“国际社会”是国际行为体之间开展合作的场域,应建构和维护国际秩序的公平正义,因而在国际交往中不应以意识形态为标准和以意识形态划线;从本质上看,“国际社会”是国际行为体开展国家利益和意识形态博弈的重要场域,具有强烈的意识形态性。“国际社会”意识形态性的关键是国际话语权,其实质是国家(或国际社会成员)的国际利益。从意识形态的角度考察“国际社会”,有利于看清“国际社会”的本质,这对于深入理解国际热点问题和国际舆论的实质,特别是对于我国国际话语权的建设与提升,具有重要意义。     

Note passing as gendered practices of public ambiguity in a hyper‐masculine organization

This article explores a surprising and seemingly mundane organizational practice: passing notes during professional meetings. Based on 34 in‐depth interviews with women in a hyper‐masculine organization — the Israeli military — this study focuses on what I term gendered practices of public ambiguity. It demonstrates how these practices shed light on three interrelated paths to power at work: (i) practices of public intimacy between men; (ii) practices of women's degradation by men; and (iii) practices of recognition claims by women. The tension between the publicity inherent in the routine passing of notes and the ambiguity of their contents calls for a more nuanced theorization of gendered power practices, which transcends the accepted dichotomy of doing and undoing gender, reproducing or challenging the symbolic gender order. The findings show that gendered micro‐practices can become polysemic symbolic spaces in which women redirect the flow of power, if only temporarily and locally, and turn it into a multidirectional and multi‐agentic resource. The conceptual contribution of these findings is discussed in terms of the positioning of women in hyper‐masculine environments as pragmatic subjects who (re‐)construct mechanisms of power out of the restricted repertoire available to them.     

The Leverage of Protest: Market,Media, and Reputational Disruption in Social Movement Success

How do social movements gain concessions from large corporations? The ability of protests to attain leverage by imposing disruption costs on their targets is widely assumed but less often tested. In this article, we assess the ability of protests to attain concessions by disrupting three broad sources of interest to firm officials: maximizing shareholder value, gaining positive media, and fostering a well-reputed image. In contrast to the body of research on the benefits to movements from shaping media discourses and damaging the reputations of their targets, we find that only market disruption provides protests with leverage. We show this through statistical analyses of an original database of protests against large corporations in the United States over five years, 2005–2009. This study advances social movement and organizational research by demonstrating the ways in which the interests of large corporations provide insurgents with means of attaining leverage over their targets. It also speaks to the broad debate over the importance of disrupting the material versus symbolic interests of movement targets. Our results suggest that when it comes to obtaining concessions from large corporations, it is material disruption and not symbolic disruption that provides movements with leverage.     

博士招生的制度意义和社会反思

考试制度给人们以公平正义的理念,但目前我国博士招生中所存在的一些问题引起了人们的质疑与思考。博士招生究竟应如何定位,如何能真正达到社会公众所期待的“实体公正”与“程序公正”?这是当前要解决的关键问题。本文从博士培养的目标入手,考究传统招生中的笔试与面试之弊端,提出在有机结合笔试和面试的同时应采取有效措施防止弊端发生,以增进博士选拔制度的公信力。     

公共权力异化的预防与遏制

公共权力在本质上来源于人民,以管理公共事务,维护公共利益为基本价值取向.当前公共权力异化是一个突出的问题,其后果相当严重.因此,必须加强预防和遏制,从物质、文化、伦理、制度等方面,来保障公共权力能够良性运行.     

关于我国权力机关行政法制监督的思考

行政法制监督作为一种法律制度,是依法行政和行政法制化的重要内容。权力机关作为国家行政法制监督的主体,其对行政的监督是行政法制监督的重要方面。我国的权力机关是指全国人民代表大会和地方各级人民代表大会。它在我国现行的行政法制监督中发挥着巨大作用,但随着社会主义民主法制的运行和市场经济的发展,权力机关的行政法制监督也呈现出不足和弊端。
