Japan’s Political Development in the Later Period of the Abe Administration and the Sino-Japanese Relationship

With Shinzo Abe's re-election as the president of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), the LDP regime appears to have entered on a stable trend of long-term governance. This also marks a later phase of the Abe administration has solidified its later phase, following Abe's second rise to power. The supremacy of the LDP and the administration of the basket of economic policies termed Abenomics have produced initial effects, and the overall climate of political opinion in Japan remains largely conservative, all factors favorable the continuance of Abe's regime. A major task in the future to cement AbeJ s political legacy would be amendment of Japan’ s pacifist constitution. Abe’ s political and security policies are likely not to change, namely, the promotion of multilateral cooperation in the US-Japan alliance, a moderate adjustment of Japan's China policy, and a return to utilitarian diplomacy to maximize Japan’s national interests. Thanks to the return of the Sino-Japanese relationship to the right track, the healthy development of bilateral relations depends on the consolidation of the political foundation, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation, and constructively managing and controlling disagreement.

Can Religious Pluralism Influence Governance and Societal Cohesion?

This analysis uncovers the complex interplay of religion,politics,and society in Israel,revealing the intricate dynamics of secular and religious ideologies.The study explores the deep ideological rift between secular and religious communities,a divide that profoundly impacts political stability and policymaking.This division often leads to political crises and reshuffling,with the political system characterized by unstable coalition governments.The research is grounded in the divisions over the state’s spiritual ideology,with significant Orthodox influence shaping policy on education,family law,and cultural affairs.The research shows the profound influence of religious parties on Israeli politics,significantly shaping the country’s policies and ideological direction.Influenced by external factors such as security threats and diplomatic challenges,the dynamic interaction between politics and religion shapes Israeli politics since religious parties advocate for policies that align with their interpretation of Jewish religious law,thereby impacting the role of religion in public policy.The influence of religious politics has led to a discernible shift toward greater religious orthodoxy in public life,driven by the political power of religious parties that prioritize religious values above secular democratic principles.The state’s endorsement of religious education and institutions shapes public policy and societal norms.The analysis examines the influence of religious values in public policy and the dynamic interaction between religious and political spheres,aimed to ensure that religion remains dominant in shaping societal norms and governance.This complex relationship demonstrates the ongoing challenges in balancing religious orthodoxy with secular principles,which poses difficulties and has implications for the stability and cohesion of Israeli society.The urgency and complexity of this task cannot be overstated,as it is crucial for the future of Israeli politics and religious dynamics.

Exploring the Body Politics of Female Teachers from the Perspective of Intersectionality and Agency in Education Locale

This paper explores how the body discourses constructed by patriarchal culture influence individual＇s body viewpoint and form teachers＇ body image in educational fields in gender perspectives of feminisms and the concepts of power and discourse from Foucanlt. At the same time I will also demonstrate that the body politics of women teachers in secondary education do not represent the stable and rigid hierarchy of traditional teacher-student relationship but shape the subjectivity which are deployed and suffused as a capillary action by the disciplines and power relations interwoven by gender, sexuality, class and age throughout the individual＇s cognition and behavior, thus produce self-monitoring in the meantime monitoring others for social function. Finally, I will argue that how the subjectivity under the social structure and cultural norms generates an individual＇s agency of resistance and subversion to existing gender structures through reflectivity in the cracks produced by the collision, fragmentation, consultation within different discourses, and then finds the temporary strategic and political positioning and identity.

The Democratic Simulation of the Public Space and Its Complex Human Relations

The public space is currently the product of a simulation of democracy,the subject of the present investigation.In the phenomenon,social aspects intervene that gestate labor,religious and political activities.The observation of urban behavior in historic centers was handled through the deductive method observing permitted or prohibitive areas of commercialization in the Historic Center of Oaxaca;it shows that it was determined by the reproduction of the urban simulation.The purpose was focused on the exploration of spatial utility and the normative models of urban practices and practices.The results revealed the public space is the product of negotiations that exhibit multiple inequalities:social strata,division of labor,political interests,religious and cultural expressions.Spatial projections are of:expropriation,distribution,donation,and resignation;from a domestic to industrial scale.The democratic simulation and its complex human relations multiplied the creeds and collective rituals,the proliferation of non-legal business and the dispute of the public space.It is concluded that those who administer and enforce civic policies and urban rules should promote solutions for coexistence;as a formative and attitudinal issue in the space that belongs to all of us.

Himalayan Political and Cultural Challenges to Catholic Peacebuilding

The Himalayas exhibit multiple instances and stages of violent armed conflict and political instability.This paper will consider how the political and cultural realities of the Himalayas complexify the Catholic approach to pursuing a sustainable just peace.Peacebuilding emphasizes a holistic approach to conflict transformation,addressing the underlying causes of violence,while considering the goals and motivations of those involved.As a vital component of Catholic social teaching,peacebuilding articulates a comprehensive approach to reduce violence toward a sustainable and just peace that emphasizes human dignity and a common good.Although Catholic peacebuilding institutions attempt to engage at the grassroots,national,and international levels,they can be restricted to local communities in the Himalayas because of political and cultural limitations.Given the importance and plurality of religion,as well as the marginalization of mountain peoples,in the Himalayas,an emphasis on interreligious collaboration to deconstruct oppressive systems of injustice is essential.Despite a problematic colonial past and small minority of Christians in the region,Catholic peacebuilders have demonstrated an ability to contribute when partnering with actors from other faith traditions.Furthermore,Catholic social teaching provides a framework that is helpful to linking political,economic,and social development with efforts toward achieving a just peace.This research will attempt to identify possible opportunities amidst the challenges at the grassroots level and beyond.Catholic peacebuilding,when accounting for the unique challenges of the Himalayas,is one component,among many,that can contribute to local,regional,and global conflict transformation.

The Official Promotion Incentive： A New Re-Estimation and Re-Examination

Based on three major theories, the Chinese local officials＇ promotion incentive could be influenced by economic performances, political relationships, and financial performances. However, there were some researchers focusing on these promotion mechanisms and then they got different outcomes. This paper achieves the goal for exploring the influence factors of officials＇ promotion by using OLS empirical test. From collecting the data of Chinese local officials and cities＇ economic conditions, we find that economic performances and political relationships can have a significant effect on officials＇ promotion, but financial performances cannot have this effect. And the experiences and lesson of this research have some reference for exploration of Chinese local officials＇ promotion incentive.

Subversive Phallus Politicos:Aspects of Manliness and Criticism in Adi Nes’Images of Soldiers

Adi Nes(born in 1966)is a leading Israeli artist in the field of photography,with international recognition.Nes’photography is staged as theatre,with each detail carefully planned during the production process,after comprehensive visual and conceptual research.His photography engages with manliness,political and social injustice,gender,alterity,ethnicity,and religion,and his images express a constant criticism,overt or covert.This article focuses on images from his soldier series produced between 1994 and 2000.Declaring that Israel is a very male-dominated society,Nes’images of the soldiers present them in different ways:sometimes as extremely masculine and even macho,in other photos as mischievous,like a bunch of boys going wild;and in yet other photos as projecting an innocence that elicits the viewer’s compassion.The present study is a comparative one,employing the methodology of classical reception studies,and incorporating an analogy to the ancient Greek concept of the manly warrior,whose body was perceived as reflecting the political ideology of the polis.This concept is summarized in the term“Phallus Politicos”coined by John Jack Winkler,and connects between virility and politics in Ancient Greece.The argument presented here is that while the body and appearance of the warrior in Ancient Greece was consolidated with the Greek polis and its ideals,Nes’images of soldiers manifest a disruption between the soldier and the ideology he serves,and therefore convey subversive messages alongside compassion and emotional solidarity.

亲清政商关系与企业数字化转型

在数字经济时代,数字化转型是企业实现高质量发展的内生要求,而企业的数字化转型离不开政府的引导和支持。基于此,分析检验当前亲清政商关系构建会如何影响微观企业的数字化转型,有助于企业实现高质量发展。利用2016—2020年中国A股传统行业上市公司的年度观察数据研究发现,亲清政商关系对企业数字化转型具有显著的正向影响,即在政商关系越亲清的地区,企业的数字化水平越高,并且这种正向影响在非国有企业中表现得更强。进一步的机制检验表明,亲清政商关系主要通过“市场导向效应”和“资源供给效应”对企业数字化转型发挥积极的促进作用。更具有启发意义的是,主要是政商关系的“亲近化”而不是政商关系的“清白化”助力了企业的数字化转型,而且亲清政商关系能够降低传统政治关联的相关影响。

1942年中共改善国共关系的努力与根据地建设

1941年至1942年,因日军“扫荡”、国民党军事冲突和磨擦等,抗日根据地的建设处于最严重困难时期。中国共产党为渡过难关将改善国共关系纳入考虑范畴,该谋划最终虽不了了之,但中共为配合改善国共关系在根据地采取相应措施,坚持原有根据地而非打出去,切实减轻根据地民众负担;提出抗战胜利的时间表,提振根据地民众胜利的信心;提出与宣传战后建国方针,赢得民众广泛而坚定的支持。中共通过自身努力,使政治主张符合民众利益、愿望和需求,加强根据地建设与民众的联系,深得民心。这些举措扩大了中国共产党政治影响力,也是中共在全民族抗战中中流砥柱作用的鲜明昭示。

两晋时期的君臣关系与忠君道德——兼论忠孝两难时的道德选择

司马氏的两晋(西晋、东晋)经历了统一、战乱、分裂、偏安、篡夺,在整个155年的历史中,君臣关系虽然始终强调君尊臣卑,但其君主除开国的晋武帝相对有为外,多是暗弱君主,特别是偏安江南的东晋更是仰仗王谢等随迁的中原士族和江东原有的士族支持,君臣关系相对宽松,君尊臣卑秩序不很严格。这种君臣关系下的忠君道德,在面对五胡乱华、朝廷更迭的冲击时就表现得多元化和复杂化。特别是晋朝继承了汉代孝治天下的思想,在政治生活中也强调忠孝并重,因此在面对忠孝两难境地时就会出现不一样的道德选择。在中国传统忠德变迁史上,两晋时期的臣子忠君道德具有一定代表性,其双向度的忠以及忠孝两难的道德选择,呈现出传统忠君道德由先秦时期的君仁臣忠向宋明时期的绝对化忠君的嬗变过程。

爱资哈尔在当代埃及的政治参与及其特征和影响

爱资哈尔在历史上长期居于埃及国家政治生活中的重要位置,构建起伊斯兰最高权威和阿拉伯民族象征的双重身份。现代以来,爱资哈尔不断增强的国家认同决定了其以配合政治权威、服务国家利益为己任,日益趋向依附国家政权,经历了从支持阿拉伯社会主义到倾向政治伊斯兰主义,再到倡导伊斯兰中间主义的思想演变,逐渐形成了以爱资哈尔长老为核心的宗教学者参政主体,以伊斯兰教义原则为参政依据,以丰富的社会资源为参政基础,以维护国家统一、社会稳定和引领社会主流价值观为参政目的的独特政治参与方式。爱资哈尔积极参政辅政,致力于社会变革与文化建设,在协调政教关系、推动埃及社会发展、凝聚国家认同、促进社会公平、引领社会舆论、塑造社会主流价值、参与国家治理等诸多方面,发挥了独特且重要的作用,产生了广泛影响。

组织变革情景下领导政治行为对员工变革抵制的双刃剑效应

大量研究表明,在组织变革期间领导行为会对员工变革抵制产生重要影响,但关于领导政治行为对员工变革抵制的潜在影响鲜有探究。本研究基于社会信息加工理论,探讨了组织变革背景下领导政治行为对员工变革抵制的双刃剑作用机制。通过对三个时间点收集的280份问卷数据进行分析,结果表明:在组织变革中,当领导成员交换关系水平低时,领导政治行为会通过增加员工的相对剥夺感而激发其变革抵制;当领导成员交换关系水平高时,领导政治行为会通过提升下属依赖而减弱其变革抵制。本文结论有助于企业管理者辩证看待组织变革中领导政治行为所发挥的作用,并为组织变革管理实践提供有益借鉴。

人工智能赋能思想政治教育的伦理风险及其应对

人工智能赋能思想政治教育是思想政治教育创新发展的必然走向。思想政治教育与人工智能的深度耦合,促进了思想政治教育的精准化与“出场”多元化,提升了思想政治教育的实效性,但随着技术向度的增强与工具理性思维的介入,思想政治教育也面临着不同维度的伦理风险。通过分析人工智能赋能思想政治教育伦理风险的成因发现,人工智能的类人属性不断强化、算法自主性导致的不可预测性不断增加、风险认知与外在保障具有有限性,导致了伦理风险“在场”的必然性。为了规避伦理风险,要以道御术,守正思想政治教育的价值立场;要以情化人,构建柔性的共情共鸣机制;要以法为界,明确人工智能赋能的何以可为。

情境塑造结构:基层社会治理中的党政统合逻辑——基于H市A区社会治安综合治理的考察

党组织在基层社会治理中扮演着引领者和治理者的双重角色,通过党政统合结构引领并嵌入到基层社会治理中。H市A区社会治安综合治理的案例表明,党政统合主要表现在三个方面:组织统合、职能统合及决策统合。由组织制度、任务策略和数字技术构成的社会治理情境及变迁形塑了基层党政统合治理。具体而言,归口管理和社会治安综合治理的组织制度改革,社会治理任务和治理策略的变化,数字技术的嵌入推动着社会治理情境的变迁,并从合法性赋予、客观性要求以及权力性整合三个维度形塑了党政统合结构。党政统合是应对社会治理复杂性和多元复合目标的结构调适,深刻反映了新时代党对社会治理的全面领导及意义。
