周恩来与池田大作友情的基础

周恩来与池田大作的会见,是1974年12月5日在北京305医院进行的。这时的周恩来已重病在身,不是他想见的朋友是难以安排会见的。这之前,池田大作对周恩来心仪已久;而周恩来早在60年代初就已开始关心创价学会和担任创价学会会长的池田大作,他指示:一定要想办法建立同创价学会之间的渠道,一定要和他们交朋友。这之后,在池田大作的关心下,创价大学校园内先后植下了周樱、周夫妇樱。周恩来逝世后,池田大作成为在日本乃至     

清末民初"国民外交"一词的形成及其含义述论

清末民初＂国民外交＂一词的提出,既是中国人民在严重的民族危机下寻求自强独立的现实需要,在一定程度上也是受到了日本的影响,将本意为国家外交的＂national diplomacy＂译为＂国民外交＂。中国的＂国民外交＂概念的内涵主要表现为三个方面：一是将人民主权思想应用于外交领域,含有视外交为国民的外交,政府应尊重民意办理外交的意思;二是指国民可通过国会参与外交,以舆论监督外交,将自己的意志反映贯彻于外交事务;三是通过国际民间交往增进友谊,进而改善邦交,促进世界和平。虽然今天的＂国民外交＂概念主要是从国际民间交往的外交意义上来说的,但不容忽视其原来政府外交须尊重民意,而国民有权监督政府外交的含义所具有的现实借鉴作用。     

Everyday peace capture: Nationalism and the dynamics of peace after violent conflict

Nationalism is arguably one of the most detrimental peace‐breaking factors in conflict‐affected societies. This article examines how ethno‐nationalist elites, subterranean movements, and ordinary people can become blockages to sustainable peace and reconciliation after violent conflict. It argues that peacebuilding and state‐building imposed from outside as conflict transformation approaches without acceptable peace settlement and resolute solution of the disputes among parties in conflict risk enabling the co‐optation of power‐sharing arrangements by ethno‐nationalist elites, contestation of peace and reconciliation by subterranean mono‐ethnic movements, and the occurrence of vernacular peace‐breaking acts. This negative mutation of nationalism not only harms peace, justice, and development but also undermines the rights and needs of distinct identity groups. Under these conditions, escaping the nationalism trap in conflict‐affected societies requires seeking political change through post‐ethnic politics and reconciliation through everyday pacifist acts undertaken by the affected communities themselves. The article draws on Kosovo to illustrate empirically the dynamics of peace‐breaking and practices of everyday nationalism. It seeks to bridge debates on nationalism and post‐conflict peacebuilding and offer alternative pathways for rethinking strategies of peace in divided societies.     

Accountability without democracy: evidence from Confucian accountability

This article argues that the dominant democratic model of political accountability is shown to have been unduly centred on rights, institutionalisation, and punishment. Drawing inspiration from Confucian classics, this article proposes an alternative model of political accountability in which ethical norms and moral sentiments play crucial roles. Based on a structural analysis of accountability, the comparison between democratic accountability and Confucian accountability demonstrates two implications: first, recognition of the ample resource of accountability in Confucian tradition challenges the idea that the notion of accountability is simply a Western or democratic concept which has no root in Confucian societies; second, as an intellectual tradition and practical wisdom, some of the Confucian insights, reconstructed and applied to modern society, may well have the capacity to address contemporary issues more productively, especially in the domain of democratic deficits, than the dominant liberal approach.     

The long road to religious toleration: Emeric Crucé predecessor of the enlightenment

ABSTRACT

Le Nouveau Cynée has been neglected and little cited by Anglo-American historians of political thought, and its author, Emeric Crucé, considered a secondary figure and nearly forgotten. Why is he largely ignored if his book offers the broadest notion of toleration of its time, along with new and original proposals to make peace and organize the world without distinction as to religion and race? Indeed, his peace plan compared with Sully’s, Saint-Pierre’s or Leibniz’s was the only one not addressed exclusively to Christians, but which incorporated all kinds of people, no matter what their religion was. And he did so at a time when the Turks were considered by Christian kings to be their natural enemies, since their threat to Christianity was constant. Besides, his concept of toleration goes beyond that of the so-called champions of toleration of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries such as Locke, Pierre Bayle, Voltaire, Rousseau or Kant. Thus, he can be regarded, along with Spinoza, as one of the most tolerant authors prior to Enlightenment.

热战、冷战、冷和:美国全球扩张的战略反思

发展与扩张是美国国策的一条主线。“热战”、“冷战”与“冷和”则是美国基于国内经济与社会发展而对全球扩张的依序相循的三段路径。反法西斯战争是全世界人民的胜利,美国却是世界胜局的最大受益。二次战后初期以来,美国挑起“冷战”,以“经济分流”与“民主工程”令苏联解体,使自身处于一超独大的世界之位。在“冷和”条件下,美国对发展中国家推进“改造工程”,则是其对全球扩张的新目标。三内生互动的解读,有益于人们的深度战略反思。     

建立健全民主监督机制进一步发展我国的多党合作制度

发挥民主党派的监督作用,是发展社会主义民主政治、坚持和完善社会主义民主制度的必然要求,也是改革和完善党的领导方式与执政方式的一个重要方面。我国多党合作和政治协商制度的不断完善,能够使民主党派通过合法而有效的途径和方式,经常地和多方面地对执政党实行民主监督。各民主党派只有不断加强自身建设,才能更好地发挥监督的优势、提高民主监督的水平。
