公共行政中的公民参与论析

公民参与公共行政是民主发展的要求,在政府层面和公民层面都具有重要意义,也必然对社会和谐产生积极影响。由于历史文化传统和政治民主建设的现状等原因,我国公民参与权还没有得到很好的保护和体现,公民参与公共行政的意识和能力还比较差。公民参与的实现是一个过程,它取决于公民与政府观念的转变和能力的提高、公共组织结构和功能的完善、基层组织自治的发展和公民社会的兴起等因素。     

UN contributions to development thinking and practice

This brief article highlights some major contributions made by the United Nations to development thinking and practice from 1945 to 2000. The term ‘development’ is used here broadly to refer not only to increases in economic growth and per capita income and to structural change, but also to progress in promoting human rights, poverty reduction, employment generation, fairer distribution of the benefits of growth, participation in decision making at different levels, equality of men and women, child development and well-being, and social justice and environmental sustainability. There is first a discussion of the values that have underpinned UN work on development. This is followed by a summary of some key contributions made by the UN system to thinking on development issues. The article concludes with some observations on the ways in which these contributions were made and on strengths and weaknesses of the system in generating development ideas and action.     

法、德民法典文风形成原因探悉——兼与滕毅先生商榷

滕毅先生的文章从文化的角度对法、德民法典文风及其差异形成的原因进行了探讨,但这种探讨有失偏颇。法、德两国民法典文风形成的原因除了可以从文化方面进行探究外,还可以从其他方面来寻找。《法国民法典》文风形成与资产阶级争取城乡平民阶层、启蒙运动的影响以及当时法国法律职业的整体状况等诸多因素有关;而《德国民法典》文风形成则与“德意志国语运动”和德国启蒙运动及资产阶级革命的独特性所导致的德国社会体制的独特性有密切联系。我国民法典的制定过程中应当对这一问题加以重视,以发挥民法典的实际效用。     

CHOOSE TO HUG,NOT HIT*

This article discusses reasonable chastisement of children as a defense by parents to assault charges. It suggests that its continued retention contravenes the rights of children and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It compares developments in various countries, such as the Scandinavian countries and New Zealand, where the defense has been abolished, as compared with the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, where it has been retained. It suggests that its continued retention encourages bullying and violence in schools and in later adult life.

民法典创制与应有权利认知

民法的基本制度是社会物质生活条件中形成的内在法权要求的法律体现 ,是市民社会成员交往的普遍规则。民法典创制必当从认知应有权利这一科学的权利确认起点开始。现代市场经济中生存着广泛的应有权利。我们应当始终坚持“权利本位” ,吸取社会物质生活条件下不断阐发的法权要求 ,构建全新的民事法律制度。民法典创制结构和模式应有利于确认市民社会的应有权利。
