在现代化进程中完善行政首长问责制的对策与建议

近年来,一批政府高级官员因工作不力或在重大安全事故和责任事故中负有责任而被罢官去职。在对行政首长的问责实践中,普遍存在这样一些问题：行政首长的职权配置和行使规则问题;行政首长个人承担责任的具体方式和范围问题等的法律规定不明确、不具体。这导致在实践中,对行政首长的问责出现权利与责任不相适应的问题,行政首长对什么事负责,在什么情况下对行政首长问责等。另外,目前行政首长问责主体的单一化也不利于行政首长问责的有效实施;与行政首长承担的责任相对应,惩治措施不到位。因此,建立适合我国国情的行政首长问责制,对切实推动行政体制改革和政治体制改革的进程,建立社会主义民主政治制度下的责任政府等,都具有重要的理论价值和现实意义。     

胡适与蒋介石:文化异同与思想纠葛

胡适与蒋介石,一个是五四新文化运动中的风云人物,另一个是1928年至1949年10月以前中国的最高执政者;一个是世界主义者,另一个是民族主义者。他们既承传旧学,又容纳新潮,彼此以反共为合作的政治基础,但又因"民主"与"专制"的不同理念而发生冲突:胡适一心要在中国移植美国式的政治体系,主张言论自由与民主宪政,而蒋介石则认为这是在唱"民主自由高调",如果照此办理"则必断送国脉矣"。由于受中西文化的不同影响,在他们的政治交往中可谓摩擦不断,但终究没有公开决裂。究其缘由,大致有如下三点:一、胡对蒋的批评与讽谏是以支持为前提的;二、蒋在内心虽对胡颇为反感,但在行为方式上仍有相当程度的包容;三、蒋不满美国干预中国内政,但又急需争取美援,他十分清楚,胡的背后有美国支持,故对胡适不得不适度地妥协。     

新时期高校思想政治教育的价值取向及未来视野

当前,我国正处在一个改革创新、多元文化不断冲突融合的新时代,高校思想政治教育正面临着更加复杂而多元的文化价值选择和新的挑战。因此,未来一段时期,思想政治教育社会价值的主要内容是培育大学生的政治认同,而个体价值的主要内容则是在大学生中开展公民教育,这是社会主义核心价值体系的根本要求和题中之义。     

Citizens and/or consumers: mutations in the construction of concepts and practices of school choice

Recent research on school choice highlights the tendency among some White, middle‐class parents to engage with discourses of community responsibility and ethnic diversity as part of their responsibility and duty as choosers and who therefore exercise choice in ways that undercut the individualistic and self‐interested character framing governmental discourses and rationalities around choice. This article contributes to these debates through making visible the ways in which some mothers articulate and combine meanings and practices of choice that register contrasting and sometimes contradictory notions of active and responsible parenting. Drawing on data from a group of mothers of diverse social class and racial backgrounds, I explore how some mothers negotiate their school choice around a number of intersecting positions and relations that work across, as well as within, formulations of public–private, collective–individual, citizen–consumer, political–commercial. Through a consideration of the relationships in practice between these diverse elements, this article questions the analytic value of distinctions between citizen and consumer, community and individual as framings for understanding the motivations and aspirations shaping some mothers' school choices.     

学校场域中公民人格的文化建构

人是文化的产物,公民人格的生成需要适宜的文化环境。在学校教育中,公民人格的建构遭遇着文化阻隔,表现为惟上惟权的价值取向对人的自主性的抑制、学校"差序格局"对学校公共性的侵蚀、学校人际互动的"私德"对"公德"的僭越等。学校场域中的公民人格建构应厘清教育价值,提升人的自主性;构建实践共同体,增强学校的公共性;划清"私德"的疆界,培育人的公共理性。     

政治家人格特征与领导行为的研究述评

20世纪 70年代以来 ,西方政治心理学有关人格与政治行为的研究从公民转移到政治家 ,主要从认知方式、动机与领导绩效、一般人格特征与行为方式等探讨了政治家的人格特征对其领导行为的影响 ,取得了重要进展。最近的研究表现出两个基本趋势 :一是力图将公民的人格与政治家的人格特征联系起来进行综合研究 ;二是改变了过去对政治行为的宽泛理解 ,而集中探讨政治家的人格特征对选民投票行为的影响。

元代太医院使群体特点研究

元代太医院是总全国医事管理的最高行政机构，其最高行政长官为“太医院使”，也称“太医院大使”或“太医院院使”。他们作为元代医政的最高管理者，直接参与相关医药管理制度的制定与执行，在元代医政管理中起着非常重要的作用。但与历代主持医事管理的官员相比，元代太医院使数量之大，政治地位之高都远远超过历代，他们作为一个特殊的群体在备受蒙古大汗们欣赏和宠信的同时形成了许多群体特点。而以往学者对此内容研究甚少。笔者不揣谫陋，略抒管见如此，不当之处，敬祈方家教正。

略论傅玄的"直"与"曲"

西晋作家傅玄素以刚直清正著称,但在魏晋易代特殊环境下,其人格发生扭曲,多逢迎机变而少忠义节操.这既与时代思想有关,也取决于他与司马氏集团的特殊关系,形成了儒道结合的二重人格模式.

'Celebrating Families': an Inclusive Model of Family-Centred Training

This article describes an innovative week of training days, entitled 'Celebrating Families', which took place at Sunfield, Worcestershire, in July 2002. The week, for and around families of children with special needs, arose from a shared vision and philosophy held by three host organisations. Representatives of all three organisations have contributed to this article. Barry Carpenter is chief executive of Sunfield, an independent school which provides education and care for children with severe and complex learning needs, and Sally Conway is the school's co-ordinator of family services. Mandy Addenbrooke is currently working as an independent consultant in communication and autistic spectrum disorders, and, at the time of the training week described here, was regional development officer for Contact a Family in the West Midlands. Elizabeth Attfield is children's services training and advisory officer for Autism West Midlands.
The week of events was underpinned by the notion of the self-defined, extended family. T he format and content of the week were designed to highlight and celebrate the vital roles that extended family members play in supporting one another, and in educating professionals. Workshops and a conference were planned to explore common themes and illuminate unique contributions, and family members were actively involved as 'trainers' as well as delegates. Outcomes were highly positive. Evaluations from participants not only validated the inclusive training model, but also inspired a series of further events for families at Sunfield during 2003 and 2004. 'Celebrating Families' week delivered a clear message: families of children with special needs must be recognised, involved and celebrated.     

State of rhetoric: neoliberal discourses for education in state of the state addresses and gubernatorial press releases

ABSTRACT

Policy elites use rhetoric in speeches and press releases to provide framing that is intended to influence public opinion. These rhetorical events can be treated as instances in which speech usefully promotes particular discourses. Indeed, elected officials are able to influence how individuals think about problems and solutions through speeches and press releases. Two important rhetorical events in which political elites advance frames for social issues are annual state of the state addresses (SoSA) given by U.S. governors and gubernatorial press releases that inform media reporting about state policy. This study employed policy discourse and rhetorical analyses to examine SoSAs and press releases as rhetorical events within the context of educational policy. Our findings show that governors framed the roles of state government, governors, and educational stakeholders within a discourse that perpetuates a neoliberal version of education. In this framing, governors situated education’s purpose as being workforce and economic development, ignoring its role in addressing social issues and preparing informed, engaged participants for democratic society. Given that individuals make decisions about how to address social issues and understand public institutions based on framing provided by political elites, these findings raise implications for state educational policies and the public purposes of education.     

WOMEN PRESIDENTS DEFINE THE COLLEGE CULTURE THROUGH STORY

The concept of the leader's need to leave a record so that others know that she was present at a community college at a given point in time, working on behalf of the communities she served, is the theme of this article, which consists of stories from the lives of seven current and former community college chief executive officers, Vivian B. Blevins, Pamila Fisher, Sylvia Ramos, Carol Tatsey-Murray, Jerry Sue Thornton, Carolyn G. Williams, and Parker Williams give accounts of how they came to their positions as chief executive officers, the challenges and joys of that work, and the legacies they hope to leave. Their accounts as academic laborers are important tools for exploring the meaning of their roles and the roles of those they serve, for educating the uninitiated in the mission of the community college, and for reinforcing the value of that mission to the lives of community college students past, present, and future.
