"信访权"之宪法定位

我国宪法并无信访权的规定,但一般认为,信访制度的宪法依据是宪法第41条,是公民宪法赋予的建议权、申诉权的具体体现。然而从实践和宪法权利理论出发,有必要对信访权加以分解,分为政治性权利和非政治性权利,从代议机构监督和制衡行政权的高度加强信访制度建设,推进我国宪政制度的完善。     

中德成人教育的若干比较与认识

建国55年来,中国成人教育取得的成就令人瞩目.与继续教育十分成熟发达的联邦德国相比,我国成人教育与其有若干基本共同点,但在管理模式、教学组织与内容、从业人员结构及教育经费筹措等方面存在重要差别.加快我国成人教育的发展,必须调整现有成人教育结构,改革现行成人教育管理体制,完善终身教育体系,广泛运用现代网络技术,加强成人教育研究的咨询与信息统计交流.     

中美国家应急管理机制比较研究

针对学术界在国家应急管理机制研究方面缺乏全面比较分析的问题,文章运用比较分析方法研究了中美两国国家应急管理机制在组织机构、行动程序与法律保障三个方面的差异。通过研究提出,中国国家应急管理机制应在“设立应急管理协调机构”、“提高应急管理行动的计划性”、“制定应急管理纲领性法律”三个方面加以改进的建议。     

社会主义思想史视角下的近代墨学复兴

近代墨学复兴经历了三个阶段,是一个相当复杂的过程。在中国社会主义思想史视域中,其彰显出的文化主体性问题,作为深层的民族“精神道统”,成为中国社会主义现代化建设“合法性”的终极体现。     

被遮蔽的"文革"叙事--从《玫瑰门》评论小史谈起

<玫瑰门>是铁凝20世纪80年代后期一部以"文革"为背景的重要作品,但从<玫瑰门>的评论小史可以看到,80年代后半期以来,评论界对"文革"主题的忽略与遮蔽是普遍的.其中对抽象人性的偏爱,导致评论界对铁凝等一些小说家揭开"文革"政治对人性阴暗面的催生和放大,与人性固有之丑陋的合谋真相这一努力,大多视而不见.这一情形与80年代中期开始形成的当代文学观密不可分,也与"瞻前"而非"顾后"的社会文化心理有着内在的联系.     

略论中国古代冠礼的教育功能

冠礼,是给跨入成年人行列的20岁男子加冠以示成年的礼仪,在魏晋以前备受重视,被称为"礼之始",有相当繁琐的礼仪.冠礼的功能众多,教育是其中最重要的功能之一.文章重点论述了冠礼教育的目的、内容、过程、主客体及方法,并对冠礼的教育功能做了客观评价,认为它在提高全民族的文化素质、礼仪水平,增强团体成员的社会、家庭责任感等方面都有积极的作用.     

20世纪中国电视剧发展的分期及特征

从20世纪50年代到20世纪末,中国电视剧经历了一个由诞生到发展、繁荣的艰难历程。20世纪80年代中期以前的20多年可分为初创期、停滞期、复苏期和发展期;20世纪80年代中期到20世纪末可分为成熟期和繁荣期。从中可以见出其受社会外部影响和内部规律制约的情形,有助于推动中国电视剧艺术的进一步繁荣。     

Silphids in urban forests: Diversity and function

Many ecologists have examined the process of how urbanization reduces biological diversity but rarely have its ecological consequences been assessed. We studied forest-dwelling burying beetles (Coleoptera: Silphidae)—a guild of insects that requires carrion to complete their life cycles—along an urban-rural gradient of land use in Maryland. Our objective was to determine how forest fragmentation associated with urbanization affects (1) beetle community diversity and structure and (2) the ecological function provided by these insects, that is, decomposition of vertebrate carcasses. Forest fragmentation strongly reduced burying beetle diversity and abundance, and did so far more pervasively than urbanization of the surrounding landscape. The likelihood that beetles interred experimental baits was a direct, positive function of burying beetle diversity. We conclude that loss of burying beetle diversity resulting from forest fragmentation could have important ecological consequences in urban forests.     

How culture influences foreign trade: evidence from the U.S. and China

Using a gravity model of trade and the U.S. and Chinese panel data, I present evidence that supports the views that linguistic links have become more important in foreign trade than geographical proximity and that linguistic influence on trade is more significant in China than in the U.S. The estimated result based on a broad panel of economies shows little overall relation between religious similarity and foreign trade in both the U.S. and China. But there is an indication that the religious dissimilarity tends to retard foreign trade with poor countries and regions and to encourage foreign trade with richer places. I also found that, although religious retardation on foreign trade is more significant in China than in the U.S., religious dissimilarity tends to retard the US export more than that of China; by contrast, it tends to retard the Chinese import more than that of the U.S. At last, the socio-economic implications of the estimated results are discussed.
