Corporate policy entrepreneurship and cross-boundary strategies: How a private corporation champions mobile healthcare payment innovation in China?

The private nature of corporate actors does not necessarily preclude them from contributing to public interest. When business strategies and genuine public motivation are favorably aligned, corporate actors from the private sector can also drive public sector innovations. For a private corporation, policy entrepreneurship inherently entails crossing not only the public–private boundary but also various policy domains. This study formulates five propositions to characterize the cross-boundary strategies of corporate policy entrepreneurship, a distinct form of policy entrepreneurship in a developing authoritarian state. The case study of mobile healthcare payment innovation in China finds that the corporate entrepreneur used a series of cross-boundary strategies adeptly that eventually made the innovation not only adopted in one locality but also rapidly diffused nationwide. These strategies were not used in isolation or in a pure stepwise fashion but appeared to be recursive and interactive, suggesting the dynamic nature of corporate policy entrepreneurship in a multilevel governance system. More studies could be done to further examine strategies and processes of other forms of policy entrepreneurship in various national and sectoral settings.     

中国崛起与全球安全治理转型

中国崛起与全球安全治理转型是21世纪初国际关系领域两个备受瞩目的全球性现象。文章以全球安全治理体系中的安全制度安排和安全规范设定为主要分析路径,以全球政治安全治理和全球经济安全治理为主要分析单元。一方面,自二战结束以来全球安全治理体系可分为"单边全球主义"和"全球单边主义"两个阶段,并且每一阶段的全球安全治理体系均可分解为政治制度、经济制度、政治规范和经济规范四个领域;另一方面,运用比较研究法,对各个时期全球安全治理体系在上述四个领域所体现出来的差异性进行剖析,可以发现,这种差异性集中表现为正在进行中的全球安全治理体系转型,崛起的中国在此次转型过程中开始发挥参与者、建设者和贡献者的作用。在传统全球安全治理体系陷入危机之时,中国崛起在相关领域所带来的制度效应和规范效应正在逐渐潜移默化地嵌入到全球安全治理体系中,中国的政策和实践也将相应日益形成规范化的趋势。     

制度变迁理论视角下的公安教育改革

公安教育改革是公安教育为适应新时期公安工作特点而进行的体制变革,其目标是提高公安教育有效供给。制度变迁理论是新制度经济学的核心理论,通过此理论可以从动力因素、主体选择、变迁路径等角度审视公安教育改革的进程,论证公安教育改革的内在机理。     

事业单位法人设立登记制度法律问题透视

事业单位是由单一的主体即国家举办的服务于特定社会公益目标而设立的公共服务机构,事业单位的国家登记制度必要性不充分,宜改为备案和公告制度。对于有的事业单位一方面被事业单位登记部门认定为事业单位法人,一方面又被工商行政管理部门认定为企业法人的“双重法人”现象,应该随着事业单位改革的深入得以消除。

从区域内贸易视角透视东北亚经济合作机制

从区域内贸易视角考察东北亚合作机制化的经济基础,同时分析区域内贸易具体特征作用于制度化合作的相关机制,有助于探寻东北亚区域合作滞后的深层原因。东北亚目前区域经济关联下各国的分散化利益诉求,很难在统一的制度性框架内实现。区域内贸易增长机制的生产—消费双重困境,又使区外力量必然成为干扰东北亚合作机制构建的因素。加强区域合作、进而扩大区内国家间的共同经济利益,可能成为破解东北亚"安全困境"的重要途径。     

略论司法鉴定中四项制度的完善——以审判实践为视角

司法鉴定是确保诉讼证据真实、合法、有效的重要手段,是诉讼科学化的客观需要,在诉讼过程中起着辅助实现司法公正、高效和权威的积极作用。然而司法实践中,司法鉴定面临鉴定人出庭率低、鉴定期限长、鉴定收费尚需规范、司法鉴定技术受限等客观问题。对此,除法院应作自身的改革之外,还需要统一鉴定法律依据,鉴定机构提高工作效率、完善鉴定人出庭制度、统一鉴定标准,密切与法院的配合。

Can markets be expected to prevent themselves from self‐destruction?

Even if competitive markets have shown themselves to be the most efficient organizational form for creating economic efficiency, the question of how they can avoid destructive influence from agents with opportunistic motives remains unresolved. Different institutional approaches have argued that to be efficient, markets need to be embedded in a set of formal and informal institutions. Because such institutions will in the long run make all market agents better off, they are labeled efficient institutions. Contrary to what is argued in neoclassical economics, it is unlikely that such institutions will be created endogenously by market agents because the institutions are to be understood as genuine public goods. Moreover, if such institutions have been established, we should expect market agents to face a collective action problem when sustaining them, leading to the destruction of the institutions. The conclusion is that if left to themselves, markets should be understood as inherently self‐destructive.
