和谐社会公民政治参与权的法治保障

公民政治参与权是指公民依法享有的由宪法和法律确认,受宪法和法律保障和限制,通过一定方式参与国家政治活动,并影响国家政治构成、决策、进程、结果,而不受他人非法干涉、侵犯和剥夺的权利。我国已形成保障公民政治参与权的法律制度,但也存在一些不足。进一步加强社会主义法治建设,对扩大公民有序政治参与,保障人民当家作主,建设法治国家,构建和谐社会都具有十分重要意义。     

论我国对外连带保证案件的法律适用问题——以诉讼时效为例

关于对外连带保证案件的法律适用,我国审判实践尚无统一的做法。本文以诉讼时效的法律适用为例,认为如果涉案保证经过审批的,其法律适用应尊重当事人的意思自治,未经审批的,则应以直接适用法为由适用我国内地法处理,而且,此种区分将导致在诉讼时效问题上法律适用的不同。     

Good management,sound finances,and social responsibility: Two decades of U.S. corporate insider perspectives on reputation and the bottom line

Perceptions of corporate reputation were gathered exclusively from U.S. executives, directors, and financial analysts, referred to herein as corporate insiders.     

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme: A Policy Solution to Rural Poverty in India?

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was developed by the Indian government to reduce rural poverty through 100 days of guaranteed employment per year. Using focus group methods, we explore whether this scheme has provided rights' based social protection through guaranteed employment for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Odisha. We found that the experiences of participating in MGNREGA varied depending on how MGNREGA wages compared to market wages in the region, as well as local implementation of the program. Although MGNREGA offered some basic employment for marginalized groups, it did not provide substantial help to the most vulnerable. However, there was some evidence of small but significant shifts in labour relations. Higher wages, more opportunities for work, better implementation and a greater recognition of the caregiving responsibilities of women will be required for this policy to fully meet its goals.

Reflections on a meta-analysis: Crystallizing thinking about SCCT

This article provides my reflections and comments on the meta-analysis of situational crisis communication theory (SCCT) presented in this issue. The meta-analysis helps to crystallize strengths and weaknesses of SCCT and the research generated by the theory. No theory is perfect and every theory has limitations/boundaries. The meta-analysis helps to identify the boundaries for SCCT helping to understand when the theory works and when there are better options for informing crisis communication. By reflecting on the extant research, we can plot the direction for future research utilizing SCCT.     

社会主义法治理念在检察工作中的深化与拓展——以检察文化建设为视角

社会主义法治理念是检察文化建设的根本指针,检察文化是社会主义法治理念的有效载体,两者互为依存,相互促进。社会主义法治理念在检察工作中深化与拓展的最终归宿是:符合社会主义法治理念核心要求的检察文化的形成。社会主义法治理念在检察工作中深化与拓展的基本路径是通过检察文化建设实现司法理念从宏观层面向微观层面的转化,即打击犯罪与保障人权相统一、程序正义与实体正义相统一、协作与监督相统一、法律效果与社会效果相统一、案件数量与案件质量相统一。     

Trains,chains, blame,and elephant appeal: A case study of the public relations significance of Mary the Elephant

Using the media coverage of the hanging of Mary the Elephant, the purposes of this article are to discuss the major implications of the press agentry model of public relations, the impact of corporate decisions on the reputation of its surrounding community, and how the values related to societal issues such as animal cruelty change over time. Findings reveal that public pressure, intense police attention, and the counsel of a master press agent led the circus owner to make the decision to hang Mary and ultimately adulterate the reputation of the town of Erwin, Tennessee indefinitely.     

Examining the interplay of an organization's prior reputation,CEO's visibility,and immediate response to a crisis

In one of only a few crisis communication research studies taking a relational approach, examining the effects of a company's prior reputation in publics’ responses to a given crisis situation, Lyons and Cameron (2004) found that both reputation and response profoundly affected publics’ attitude and behavioral intentions toward an organization involved in a crisis situation, using hypothetical, fictitious organizations and crises. Using actual organizations and crises, our research team designed a 2 (reputation: good vs. bad) × 2 (crisis response: apologetic vs. defensive) × 2 (CEO visibility in immediate crisis response: visible vs. invisible) within-subjects experiment (N = 102) to examine the variances in stakeholders’ attitudes and behavioral intentions toward a company after being exposed to online video that delivered a corporate crisis response. Findings were counter-intuitive: a defensive response to a crisis is as acceptable to crisis stakeholders as an apologetic response if the CEO is visible (or audible) in the response and if the pre-crisis company-stakeholder reputation is positive. Good reputation, defensive crisis response and CEO visibility in immediate response to a crisis resulted in the best stakeholder attitudes and purchase intentions.
