Governance without a state: Can it work?

In this article we explore how much state is necessary to make governance work. We begin by clarifying concepts of governance and the “shadow of hierarchy” and we follow this clarification with a brief overview of empirical findings on governance research in developed countries. We then discuss the dilemmas for governance in areas of limited statehood, where political institutions are too weak to hierarchically adopt and enforce collectively binding rules. While prospects for effective policymaking appear to be rather bleak in these areas, we argue that governance research has consistently overlooked the existence of functional equivalents to the shadow of hierarchy. We assert that governance with(out) government can work even in the absence of a strong shadow of hierarchy, we identify functional equivalents to the shadow of hierarchy, and we discuss to what extent they can help overcome issues of legitimacy and effectiveness in areas of limited statehood.     

治安管理处罚中引入社区服务令制度可行性研究

随着行刑社会化、行刑轻缓化及恢复性司法理论的不断发展,社区服务令制度得到国际社会的广泛认同,并被很多国家引入作为针对轻罪的行刑方法。社区服务令制度不仅在刑事司法领域具有重要的制度价值,在行政处罚领域也有大可为之处。当前,可行之处是将社区服务令制度纳入治安管理处罚领域,需要对其在概念上重新进行界定,在此基础上构建一套符合我国国情的社区服务令制度。     

浅谈工资集体协商的形式化倾向

保证职工的合理报酬,是建立和谐稳定劳动关系的关键环节。但由于种种原因,目前的工资集体协商制度还存在较严重的形式化倾向。工会组织是建立工资集体协商制度、协调和发展和谐劳动关系的推行者和执行者,在工作中无疑应该注意消除这种形式化倾向。

当前治安案件查处中存在的问题及对策

随着国家法制化进程的进一步加快,维护公平正义的社会呼声日趋强烈。公安机关在计划经济条件下形成的办理治安案件模式的弊端日渐彰显,尤其是在程序方面。因违反治安管理行为引起的矛盾和纠纷如果不能得到妥善解决,就有可能激化发展为治安事件或更为严重的犯罪活动。文章针对这些问题,进行了较为深刻的剖析,并提出了提高办理治安案件质量、规范执法行为、强化公安执法保障的切实可行的对策。     

Strengthening Green Global Governance in a Disparate World SocietyWould a World Environment Organisation Benefit the South?

The debate on the advantages and disadvantages of upgrading the United Nations Environment Programme to a 'world environment organisation' (WEO) has gained momentum in both academe and politics. This article contends that a WEO would further the interests especially of developing countries, because it would provide them, first, a high-level forum to unite their individual bargaining power against the major industrialised countries. Second, a WEO would assist Southern efforts to garner international support for environmental programmes in regions and sectors that are increasingly bypassed by economic globalisation. Third, a WEO would create a locus to politically institutionalise the influence of non-governmental lobbyists in a way that increases the balance of opinions and perspectives. The article then addresses special challenges and caveats for developing countries in the upcoming negotiation process, in particular whether an upgraded UNEP would address only 'global' issues, thus absolving the international community from assisting developing countries in mitigating the more pressing local environmental issues in the South; whether the new body would have powerful sanctioning mechanisms, which might disproportionally affect developing countries; and what decision-making procedures the new body would have.

论公安校园文化的综合设置

大学校园文化是高校长期形成的、表现出特定人文内涵的客观精神和生成环境,是主导文化之外的文化活动与现象。它主要包含以校园环境布局、建筑雕塑等有形内容为主体的物质文化和以学风、校风、学术气氛、学校社团活动等精神层面内容为主体的精神文化两方面内容。由于公安校园文化在情操的陶冶、作风的培养、知识能力的提高、创新意识的强化等诸多方面都有积极的促进作用,因而,必须就校园物质景观、学风建设、校园文化活动的开展等方面,对校园文化建设进行综合设置,使其在公安教育和人才培养方面产生更大的合力。

论刑法中的牵连关系

牵连关系是一个客观的范畴。对于牵连关系的认定 ,折衷说不是合适的选择。牵连关系的判断是具体的个别的判断。方法与目的型牵连关系的判断标准是 :一行为与另一构成行为事实间有内在的质的一致性 ,且二者有服务与被服务的关系。原因结果型牵连关系的判断标准是 :两个行为之间有事实上的引起与被引起的关系。方法行为与结果行为可以是不具有独立构成的刑法意义上的危害行为
