The 9/11 effect: Toward a social science of the terrorist threat

After 9/11, public attitudes on numerous social issues changed. While many studies have examined post-9/11 attitude trends on specific topics, such as civil liberties or war, few have investigated the scope and variety of these effects. Did the events of 9/11 have a brief effect on a limited number of attitudes, or did they produce numerous, long-term changes in the way Americans think, feel and act? Drawing on a broad range of pre-post-9/11 studies, this review essay begins to answer this question by developing a framework for categorizing these effects and distinguishing short-term changes from long-term ones. The framework is intended to help facilitate an interdisciplinary social scientific research agenda on the effects of 9/11 and other terrorist acts. The essay concludes by explaining the social importance of the public's response to terrorism and the need for further research on this topic.     

Colonialism and Civil Society in Africa: The Perspective of Ekeh’s Two Publics

Although it has gained wide currency in the analysis of African politics, civil society remains a “mysterious” concept in need of proper grounding and understanding as an integral part of African social formation. This paper argues that one of the widely acclaimed canonical works in African studies, Peter Ekeh’s theory of colonialism and the two publics in Africa provides one of the most original perspectives for locating and understanding the character of modern civil society as a product of colonialism. In particular, the theory provides an explanation for why primordial attachments have remained fundamental to the structuration of civil society and why state–civil society relations have largely been fractured, instrumentalist, and dialectical in the post-colonial period.

Women,Welfare and Civil Society Organizations: Creating an Alternative Women's Welfare Sphere in Israel

This article examines the phenomenon of Israeli civil society organizations (CSOs) providing services to women as part of the creation of an alternative women's welfare sphere in Israel in recent years, and its influence upon the welfare state and women. The creation and the existence of the women's civil society sphere can be seen as part of a move by the Israeli welfare state towards a liberal‐style economic regime. The article examines the services and mode of operation of fourteen organizations offering welfare, health and educational services to women in Israel, using a qualitative research method. The study identifies four traits characterizing these organizations: their loose connections with the welfare state, the use of sectoral and selective criteria determining eligibility for their services, the mirroring of internal dynamics of the community and its response to gender issues, and the CSOs' holistic, sporadic and unprofessional services. The analysis highlights the gender dimensions of civil society organizations, the characteristics of structure and content of the services they offer, and the role and place of civil society organizations operating parallel to the welfare state. It sheds light on the complex nature of this sphere and its services, which contribute to the empowerment and improvement of women's lives but, simultaneously, strengthen and reinforce their exclusion and marginalization.

民国时期新疆维吾尔族民事司法制度研究

民国时期维吾尔族民事司法制度的总体特征是由二元体系向统一的近代法制嬗变。宗教法庭代表了伊斯兰教法和传统民事习惯对维吾尔族的影响,政府司法机构代表了中央集权以及近代化的法律制度对维吾尔族的影响,两种司法制度并存,相互交织,共同作用于近代维吾尔族民间社会。在新疆法制近代化的进程中,宗教法庭的司法权逐渐削弱,国家司法机关对维吾尔族民事司法领域的影响力起到了主导作用。伊斯兰教法对维吾尔族民事领域影响的逐渐削弱,实际上是继清代宗教法庭失去刑事审判权的延续,这符合历史发展的趋势和方向。

新多边主义视野下的全球治理

随着全球化进程的深化和各种全球性问题的蔓延,民族国家在全球治理中面临越来越多的新挑战,以国家为中心的多边主义治理也不断暴露出内在的局限性,非政府组织、全球公民社会等非国家行为体对全球问题的解决发挥着日益重要的作用,全球治理的紧迫现实呼吁新的多边主义。新多边主义是在多边主义基础上发展起来的,是全球公民社会进行国际合作的产物。虽然新多边主义治理替代多边主义治理并非易事,但是它对全球治理的重构正在缓慢和艰难地向前发展。     

也论自然人民事责任能力——兼论我国《侵权责任法》相关制度的完善

自然人民事责任能力是指自然人对其不法行为所产生的损害后果承担民事责任的资格。狭义的民事责任能力是侵权责任能力以识别能力为一般判断标准、以财产状况为例外标准,但是要对财产标准的适用设定严格的条件限制,具有责任能力的未成年人造成他人损害的,应与监护人一起承担连带责任。
