和谐社会构建过程中的民主政治建设

现代民主政治作为人类政治智慧的结晶和现代文明的标志对和谐社会的构建意义重大。民主政治是程序政治、透明政治、宽容政治、法治政治。它为和谐社会提供了必须的制度基础。改革开放以来,社会主义民主政治建设取得了巨大成就,但在构建和谐社会的今天仍然存在一些问题。我们要把握好解决问题的着眼点,找到解决问题的有效路径。在和谐社会的构建过程中发挥民主政治的重要作用,使民主政治与和谐社会相得益彰。     

Connecting the gendered door: women, violence and doorwork

This paper explores the emerging role of women who work as 'bouncers', or doorstaff, in the night-time economy and examines how the cultural capital of the female bouncer is connected to the methods utilized to control licensed premises. It is drawn from a study that combined ethnographic observations and interviews in five major UK cities which explored a diverse range of issues such as gendered bodies, femininities and violence; the changing needs of the night-time economy in the UK and the experiences of women engaged in 'non-traditional' occupations. In this paper, we draw on interview data with one particular category of female door staff; women who share similar histories of exposure to violence and violent cultures, and we examine how their experiential knowledge of violence equips them with the resources to 'work the doors'. Our attention focuses on this group of women, who we refer to as 'The Connected', and examine how they are 'doing gender' when they negotiate violence 'on the door'     

The changing practice of eating: evidence from UK time diaries, 1975 and 2000

This paper examines some central themes about change in consumption behaviour through an empirical investigation of the practice of eating. It analyses patterns of food consumption in the UK using time diary data from 1975 and 2000. The practice of eating is decomposed into four component activities which are used to explore systematically the inter-relationships between social processes - such as commodification and temporal fragmentation - and ways of providing and consuming food. It charts the expansion of eating out, the degree to which it substitutes for other eating activities, and the implications of its development for social relations and the temporal organization of daily life. Analysis reveals that food consumption continues to be differentiated along established lines of social division, although the content of those divisions has changed and varies across components of the practice. Increasing commodification of the food chain is documented, but without appearing to have a corrosive impact on household organization or social relationships. While tendencies indicative of temporal fragmentation are revealed, counter-tendencies exist which suggest that the practice of eating is resilient to many forms of external pressure. Finally, the application of a practice-based analytical approach permits critical evaluation of theories of social transformation.     

How Satisfied are Spouses with their Leisure Time? Evidence from Europe

This paper first identifies the determinants of spouses’ satisfaction levels within the household with respect to their leisure time and, secondly, characterizes whether their preferences have some degree of altruistic or egoistic character in regard to this particular satisfaction. To that end, it formulates a theoretical framework from the collective family model whose stochastic formulations are estimated for 14 EU countries. The general empirical results first reveal that the presence of children has a significantly negative impact on the leisure satisfaction of both spouses. Then, increases in individual incomes lead to lower own leisure satisfaction levels. Both husbands and wives show egoistic behavior with respect to the labor and non-labor incomes (wage rate) of their respective spouses’ satisfaction levels.

Multivariate process dispersion monitoring without subgrouping

The memory-type adaptive and non-adaptive control charts are among the best control charts for detecting small-to-moderate changes in the process parameter(s). In this paper, we propose the Crosier CUSUM (CCUSUM), EWMA, adaptive CCUSUM (ACCUSUM) and adaptive EWMA (AEWMA) charts for efficiently monitoring the changes in the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal process without subgrouping. Using extensive Monte Carlo simulations, the length characteristics of these control charts are computed. It turns out that the ACCUSUM and AEWMA charts perform uniformly and substantially better than the CCUSUM and EWMA charts when detecting a range of shift sizes in the covariance matrix. Moreover, the AEWMA chart outperforms the ACCUSUM chart. A real dataset is used to explain the implementation of the proposed control charts.     

论我国朝鲜族加入中华民族大家庭的历史过程

我国朝鲜族加入中华民族大家庭的历史过程,始于清代,经民国、伪满、解放战争时期,直至中华人民共和国成立,最后成为我国公民。在这一过程中,朝鲜族人民与其他民族一道,在开发东北边疆和反帝反封建斗争中,患难与共,结成了深厚的友谊和不可分割的关系。朝鲜族人民不断吸收中华民族的优秀文化,逐步发展成为当之无愧的我国56个民族之一。     

公共决策失误的根源探析

剖析公共决策失误,可从决策因素、决策过程和决策体制三个方面入手。决策因素包含决策主体和决策情境,前者构成决策的价值取向,后者则提供决策的事实前提;造成决策失误的主体因素,主要是主体利益与主体价值观;在决策过程中,决策问题的界定出现偏差、决策目标确立不当、决策方案脱离实际、方案选择缺乏科学性等可造成决策失误;从公共决策体制来看,集权决策体制比分权决策体制、个人决策模式特别是个人专断的决策体制比集体决策模式发生决策失误的可能性要大,在分权决策体制和集体决策模式中,因决策程序不当也可造成决策失误。     

现代化发展的失衡与危机--阿根廷"新自由主义"改革的再思考

1989-2001年阿根廷的"新自由主义"改革历程,证明了经济与政治的不均衡发展是导致发展中国家陷入现代化困境的重要因素之一;经济现代化具有天然的不均衡性,国家必须实现政治发展,以政治上的均衡手段,即通过提供更加完整、更加充盈、公正的均衡性公共物品,消除或减轻经济现代化 的不均衡后果,引导经济现代化的正确发展方向.     

通货膨胀目标制--一个可能的最优货币政策操作规则

相机抉择的货币政策由于时间非一致性而具有通货膨胀倾向,经济学者为解决时间非一致性问题设计了各种方案,通货膨胀目标制就是其中之一。其优越性主要有:1.有效降低通货膨胀倾向;2.能兼顾灵活性和可信度;3.具有可操作性,一些西方国家已经采用该制度并且效果不错。实践证明,通货膨胀目标制可能是未来的最优货币操作规则。
