公诉案件被害人诉讼地位重新定位的必要性分析

在不同的历史时期、不同的社会形态以及不同的国度里,公诉案件被害人的诉讼地位差异很大,然而被害人在刑事诉讼中的当事人地位,已成为国际刑事诉讼发达程度的标志之一.所以,确立公诉案件被害人当事人的诉讼地位已是国际刑事法学界的共识.本文从比较分析的角度,阐述了公诉案件被害人诉讼地位在不同历史时期的变迁,公诉案件被害人诉讼地位的国度差异,着重分析了我国对公诉案件被害人诉讼地位重新定位的必要性.     

“经济人”:一种研究范式的革新与局限

公共选择理论的“经济人”研究范式主要包括经济人假设、交易政治学和方法论的个人主义三部分。通过对这种范式的私益内涵分析和利弊分析,指出其在革新传统政治学研究方法的同时也具有自身不可克服的局限。借鉴“经济人”研究范式对我国政治学乃至经济学研究都具有重要的方法论意义。     

网络空间与公共领域实践

以哈贝马斯的"公共领域"为理论基础,从网络空间的特质出发分析了网络空间成为公共领域的潜质,并进一步指出由于进入网络空间受经济、知识等门槛限制,以及网络空间语言霸权、数字鸿沟等面向所造成的不平等,仍制约着网络空间成为公共领域的可能。     

Assessing the Playing Field: A Prospective Longitudinal Study of Internet Sports Gambling Behavior

Internet gambling is growing rapidly, as is concern about its possible effect on the public’s health. This paper reports the results of the first prospective longitudinal study of actual Internet sports gambling behavior during eight study months. Data include recorded fixed-odds bets on the outcome of sporting contests and live-action bets on the outcome of events within contests for 40,499 Internet sports gambling service subscribers who enrolled during February 2005. We tracked the following primary gambling behaviors: daily totals of the number of bets made, money bet, and money won. We transformed these variables into measures of gambling involvement. We analyzed behavior for both fixed-odds and live-action bets. The median betting behavior of the 39,719 fixed-odds bettors was to place 2.5 bets of €4 (approximately $5.3 US) every fourth day during the median 4 months from first to last bet. This typical pattern incurred a loss of 29% of the amount wagered. The median betting behavior of the 24,794 live-action bettors was to place 2.8 wagers of €4 every fourth day during the median duration of 6 weeks at a loss of 18% of the amount wagered. We also examined the behavior of empirically determined groups of heavily involved bettors whose activity exceeded that of 99% of the sample.     

Does the availability of child care influence the employment of mothers? Findings from western Germany

There is a vast empirical literature investigating the effects of child care costson female employment. Day-care costs are usually treated as a reduction infemale wages and are supposed to reduce a woman's propensity to participatein the labor market. In this paper we argue that an analysis of the effects ofchild care on the employment of mothers in Germany should focus on theavailability rather than the affordability of care, due to peculiarities of theGerman day-care regime. Our empirical findings cast doubt on the effectivenessof the current German day-care regime. Specifically, we question the extent towhich it enables mothers to participate in the labor market.     

Developing critical and empathic capabilities in intercultural education through the VaKE approach

One of the core goals of intercultural education is to develop critical and empathic reflection on social justice, particularly as related to humanistic choices and how individuals can counteract exclusion. The present article analyses the Values and Knowledge Education (VaKE) approach, which is aimed at raising awareness about implicit value-oriented priorities in decision-making. Through the Human Development and Capability Approach, the applicability of VaKE’s didactic principles is analysed in relation to young people’s perspectives on resettlement in Europe. The VaKE method was used at a 2013 summer camp in Austria with a culturally diverse group of young Europeans who were presented with a dilemma story that highlighted the complex issue of providing assistance to asylum seekers. The participants engaged in various knowledge and moral viability checks that enabled them to engage with opposing arguments. The participants evidenced critical reflection and self-scrutiny, as well as affiliation and empathic imagination, regarding problems that are encountered by asylum seekers.     

Revisiting the relationship between public relations and marketing: Encroachment and social media

Although public relations and marketing trade presses regularly discuss the conflict between the functions (e.g., Ecker, 2013; Havartin, 2013), academic researchers focused on the issue primarily in the 1980s and 1990s. The drop in public relations and marketing encroachment research does not parallel a drop in encroachment in practice, especially in light of today’s social media environment. In fact, historic tension between public relations and marketing intensified with the incorporation of social media into communication efforts. This paper updates the study of encroachment by reviewing the historical views of the topic, proposes ways that social media use has intensified issues related to role encroachment between public relations and marketing professionals, and outlines questions to guide future study of these topics.     

Crisis perceptions,relationship, and communicative behaviors of employees: Internal public segmentation approach

This study examines when and why employees engage in external communicative behaviors during the periods of a corporate crisis. Combining a cross-situational factor (i.e., pre-crisis relationship quality) and a situational factor (i.e., crisis-specific perceptions), this study segments internal publics to understand employees’ motivations of becoming advocates for or adversaries of their organization. The results of an online survey demonstrated that employees’ pre-crisis relationship to their organization plays a critical role in encouraging them to advocate for their company; meanwhile, their crisis-perception—whether they feel fewer constraints in solving a crisis—is more likely to make them share negative information externally. Segmented groups of employees with high levels of both relationship and activeness are most likely to engage in both positive and negative external communication behaviors. Theoretical and practical implications for public relations and internal crisis communication are suggested.     

公共政策价值合法性危机探析

公共政策价值指向是政策科学的元范畴,是理解与研究公共政策的阿基米德点。公共政策作为政治系统的输出,其自身蕴藏着社会共同的善(common good)、正义(公正)和效率三重价值向度和价值指归。然而,日常的政策活动往往隐藏着一定的政策价值合法性危机,作为政策价值危机的降解途径,善治、多中心公众参与和竞争性政策体制不失为降解乃至消解公共政策价值合法性危机的一剂良方。     

互联网之火：网络舆情和时代焦虑 ——从南京的突发事件谈起

社会转型时期各种矛盾凸显激化,以门为表征的突发事件集中爆发。这其中,互联网既是真相披露者,也是情绪煽动者;既有为建构所必须的解构,也有勇猛不能掩饰的粗暴。十几年来,互联网不断颁布新的尺度,强迫传统媒体调整竞合,从而逐渐形成新的传播语境,宣告新的价值体系。在新语境下,精英与草根的位格关系和互动结构,都发生了颠覆式的变化。他们之间的话语冲突源自于精英对网络的隔膜和草根的群体盲目,这种双重误区,使得社会焦虑指数交替升级,政府与群众、草根与精英、中心与边缘之间不断发生进退博弈,比照自适。网络话语的冲突也正是时代焦虑的媒体映像,网络舆情既是民意的自然体现,也可为官方决策提供参考。
