论行政合同与民事合同的区分标准

合同定性的不同 ,直接决定其适用规则与救济渠道的差异。我国现行行政合同与民事合同的区分标准 ,就总体而言 ,偏于抽象 ,操作性不强。西方国家行政合同与民事合同的区别标准多元且具有成文化趋势。借鉴西方经验 ,我国行政合同与民事合同的区分 ,应以合同是否具有公法性质为判断中心 ,以公权力因素与公益因素作为主要判断基准 ,建立多元的具有操作性的规则体系     

公安许可制度改革的系统思考

公安许可是公安机关为了防止危险而实施的一种事前控制机制,属于对社会干预程度较强的、成本较高的抑制性规制手段。对公安许可的过分依赖是形成公安被动型静态管理模式的主要原因,严峻的社会治安形势迫切要求改革现有公安管理模式,提高公安管理效能。因此,我们有必要对公安许可制度改革与公安行政管理以及刑事侦查之间的关系进行系统思考,客观分析公安许可的基本属性,探明公安许可制度改革的可行之路。     

论HIV感染者/AIDS患者的婚姻自主权

政府歧视性对待HIV感染者 /AIDS患者婚姻自主权的法规在一定程度上加剧了社会本就存在对HIVAIDS相关者的羞辱与歧视 .维护社会公共利益成为剥夺HIV感染者 /AIDS患者的婚姻自主权的理由 ,其根源是要求个人人权屈服于政府的干预手段 ,使人权的目标与社会公共利益对立起来。正确的法律选择是尊重HIV感染者 /AIDS患者婚姻自主权 ,采取正确合理的干预措施 ,真正维护社会公共利益。     

西欧公共行政改革评述

司法程序与行政执法

司法程序不仅具有工具的作用,而且还有其自身独立的价值。当前公安机关在行政执法程序中存在的问题主要包括执法方式违法、执法步骤违法以及执法期限违法。     

政商关系:历史与现实

社会现实告诉我们,公共权力与私有资本都必须受到制约。在人类历史上,政商关系先后经历了前资本主义社会权力神化、资本主义社会权力道德化和社会主义社会权力客观化三个阶段。其中,资本主义社会私有资本第一次真正实现了有效地制约公共权力,将其关进了私有资本的笼子里。而我国现在正处于社会主义初级阶段,应当依靠发展社会主义民主政治来制约公共权力,在此基础上,要用公共权力将私有资本关进科学制度的笼子里。

Explaining municipal governance in Kosovo: local agency,credibility and party patronage

ABSTRACT

What can explain the varied effectiveness of internationally led attempts at statebuilding? This article seeks to answer this question by comparing the contrasting trajectories of governance in two municipalities in Kosovo: Hani i Elezit/Elez Han and Kamenica. In Hani i Elezit, evidence suggests that effective and accountable governance is embedded. However, in Kamenica informal and clientelist practices persist and residents are less satisfied with the municipality’s performance. As the nature and extent of internationally led statebuilding has been similar in both municipalities, explaining variation requires an analytical shift to how local leadership interacts with, receives and ultimately shapes statebuilding processes. The data are based on fieldwork from 2012 to 2015. The article focuses on two critical dimensions of statebuilding: capacity building and social accountability. It argues that the impact of externally led statebuilding strategies depends on the orientation of the political leadership of the municipalities. The article identifies features of the political environment, namely credibility and the organization of political parties, which constrain the kind of public-oriented leadership necessary for effective and accountable governance.     

‘Things are not working now’: poverty,food insecurity and perceptions of corruption in urban Malawi

ABSTRACT

Malawi is one of the world's least urbanised countries, but its cities are growing rapidly and poverty in urban Malawi is becoming a prominent political issue. Food insecurity is a widespread manifestation of urban poverty in Africa, especially in informal settlements. This article is based on in-depth interviews with food insecure residents of Lilongwe’s informal settlements who, when asked why they were food insecure, overwhelmingly pointed to the Cashgate corruption scandal as a cause. There have been many political corruption scandals in Malawi, but the Cashgate scandal, which was revealed in September 2013 and reverberated throughout the political culture, has been among the most prominent and consequential of these scandals. The article seeks to contribute to literature on the political dimensions of urban food security in Africa while also presenting a way of understanding corruption from the point of view of vulnerable people whose lives have been directly and indirectly affected.
