建筑业伙伴关系模式及其制度规制研究

伙伴关系模式组织是一种介于企业和市场的中间组织形态,主要依靠伙伴协议方式进行制约和协调,项目内外环境的不确定性和伙伴组织的脆弱性使得项目伙伴关系模式更加依赖伙伴成员间的相互信任来保障伙伴关系模式的稳定运作。从社会资本角度分析了构建伙伴关系模式的动因,系统分析了伙伴关系模式的内涵、组织特征,在此基础上对伙伴关系模式中信任理论作了分析,提出实施伙伴管理模式需要的制度安排。     

Families and family study in international perspective

Many changes are occurring in the world's families. Some observers feel that the changes are destructive, whereas others see them as leading to new opportunities and understanding. Issues in international family studies include regional limitations and the various aspects of doing research cross‐culturally. Knowledge regarding certain categories of families, inheritance, and the social psychology of families is incomplete. There are, however, some universals and universal or worldwide changes, including movement toward individual partner choice, more divorces, lower fertility, and greater opportunities for women.

基于不完全契约的PPP项目合伙模式刍议

近年来, PPP模式在我国公共基础设施建设领域应用日益广泛,然而频频出现PPP项目“叫好不叫座”的现象。PPP项目存在着周期长、风险大、参与方众多等特点,需从契约的不完全性、项目的多主体性以及合作伙伴的有限理性出发,引入PPP项目合伙模式。共同的目标、沟通与合作、共享利益、共担风险是PPP项目合作伙伴关系的重要特征,建立有效的激励与约束、沟通与合作、监督与协调、利益共享与风险共担机制是PPP项目合作伙伴关系模式顺利运行的关键。在PPP项目合伙模式的运行过程中,伙伴工作团队应恰当地运用四大机制,最大限度地保证该模式运行的畅通性与有效性。

Rearranging the Puzzle: Working Systemically with Stepfamilies when Parents Re‐partner

This paper develops a systemically informed tool‐kit of therapeutic ideas for working with stepfamilies. First, systemic thinking is applied to the stepfamily context, and compared to traditional stepfamily lenses. Second, an integrative frame is used to incorporate a range of systemic therapeutic practices, to match four specific stepfamily issues. These practices are demonstrated through a fictional clinical vignette weaved throughout the paper. Finally, the challenge of being flexible in integrating theory is discussed.     

Forming relationships in Australia: Qualitative insights into a process important to human wellbeing

Drawing on in-depth interviews conducted during 2002–03 for the Australian Family Formation Decisions (AFFD) Project, this paper probes the relationship formation experiences of 115 women, men and couples of family-forming age living in eastern Australia. Contemporary relationship formation is characterized by a mixture of ambivalence and resignation to having limited control over the process on the one hand (if it happens it happens), and urgency on the other, especially among women seeking to fulfil maternal ambitions in their thirties after prioritizing other things earlier in their adult lives. For most the process of partnering involves trial and error, with timing — finding someone whose expectations of a relationship match one's own — posing a major challenge. It gives rise to a common phenomenon, the ‘too soon syndrome’, where relationships with many positive attributes are abandoned because one party perceives the other as too keen to ‘settle down’, and/or himself or herself as not ready to do so. The paper also examines impediments to partnering, including traditional ones like shyness; negative trial-and-error experiences; the demands of study and career establishment; pursuit of agendas emphasizing travel and enjoyment; sole parenthood; and parental marriage breakdown. A framework is provided by Beck's (1992) concept of reflexive modernization, and his associated proposition that life has become highly individualized with an emphasis on creating do-it-yourself biographies.     

The future of Australia’s Indigenous Population, 2011–61

Existing projections of Australia’s Indigenous Population suffer from a number of limitations: problematic input data, unsatisfactory projection model design, and poor forecast performance. The aim of this study was to create a new model for projecting that population that better represents the demographic processes at work, and that makes use of a newly available data source on identification change. A new projection model is presented that explicitly incorporates ethnic-identification change, and mixed (Indigenous/Non-Indigenous) partnering and childbearing. It is a composite static–dynamic model which takes a multi-state form where data allow. The model was used to produce projections for the 2011–61 period. Rapid growth of the Indigenous Population is expected, with population momentum, identification change, and mixed partnering and childbearing shown to contribute more to growth than above-replacement fertility and increasing life expectancy. The future growth of Australia’s Indigenous Population is thus intimately connected to its interaction with the Non-Indigenous Population.
