垂直管理体制的行政法研究

垂直管理体制,作为我国政府行政体制改革进程中一种重要的机构组织形式和调节中央与地方关系的常态手段,其运行属于行政组织法规制的内容。垂直管理部门的设立与变更,以及垂直管理机构与上级职能机构和地方政府的关系应当在法律规范的框架内运行。对于垂直管理的模式,应当有相关法律法规或者是规范性的文件进行指导,并对其进行后续行政监督。

The Management of Citizen Participation in Taiwan: A Case Study of Taipei City Government's Citizen Complaints System

Abstract

Citizen participation is one of the core values of democracy. Democratization means an increase in citizen participation in public affairs. However, the issue of democratization is rarely studied in the field of public administration. In this article, we use the Taipei City Government (TCG) Citizen Complaints System to illustrate some tensions relating to citizen participation in a newly democratizing country. We interviewed the TCG officials to piece together the puzzle of how the citizen complaints system works. Furthermore, we conducted a survey on how each channel and media is used by citizens to file their complaints. Then, we focused on the development of the Taipei City Mayor's e‐mail box to see how the tension between participation and cost is handled by utilizing newly emerging information technology. We then evaluate these developments in terms of publicity, accessibility, and accountability suggested by Senevirante and Cracknell (Seneviratne, M.; Cracknell, S. Consumer complaints in public sector services. Public Admin. 1988, 66, 181–193). Accordingly, we propose suggestions for improvement from these three aspects for TCG and other governments as well to establish a citizen complaints system that substantiates democracy.     

元代以来地方行政价值实现的审视--结合“公共管理模型”与“地方行政史例”

基于Christopher Hood公共管理三重价值的视角,选取元以降（元、明、清、民国）四个历史单元为案例,审视和比较其地方行政的演化轨迹、横纵架构和运行成效。尝试一个“西方当代公共管理理论”和“中国古代地方行政实践”相结合的独特研究路径,结合“管理模型”和“史料分析”,构建一个地方行政价值实现的框架模型（LAVAM）,探究地方行政的纵向组织层级、横向权力统分与公共管理三重价值——公正、效率、稳健之间的联系与规律,以现代公共管理理论和研究方法剖析元以降地方行政历史演化的客观规律和内在逻辑,启迪地方行政改革与央地关系探索“,以今审古”“、以古鉴今”。     

Make or buy on the Russian railway? Coase,Williamson, and Tsar Nicholas II

There is a growing consensus among economists that the most procompetitive strategy for restructuring public utility enterprises includes complete vertical separation of the network or grid portion of a sector from other parts of the sector where competition is to be created. Although exceptions to this rule are readily granted, it is generally considered that any alternative strategy may pay a high cost in terms of discriminatory access to the grid by non-integrated entrants into the new competitive sector. This consensus is somewhat surprising in light of the simultaneous growth of transactions cost economics, with its emphasis on the benefits of close vertical relationships—including vertical integration—in the face of complexity, unforeseeable contingencies, and problems with contract law enforcement. These issues are considered in the context of a Russian railways restructuring plan which may, or may not, involve complete vertical separation.

An optimal anti-drug law enforcement policy

This article presents a model for a drug law enforcement policy whose objective is harm reduction, including the net cost of law enforcement, social harm and surplus of agents. We consider a vertically organized distribution system with two levels, traffickers and retailers. The two questions concern which type of sellers have to be prosecuted and which law enforcement policy should be implemented that is, the probability of being caught and the severity of the punishment. We show that a trafficker-oriented law enforcement regime can avoid counter-productive policies. Moreover, decriminalization or depenalization is optimal under some conditions depending on the relationship between social harm and consumption.     

韩国电力市场化改革探析

为了克服垂直一体化公有垄断经营的韩国电力体制的缺陷,在电力工业高速发展的同时,韩国政府从电力民营化和电力工业结构调整两个方面推进了电力市场化改革。并在此过程中,明确了电力市场化改革目标,制定了详细而切实可行的改革计划。虽然韩国电力市场化改革取得了巨大成就,但也存在一些问题,需要随着改革的深入加以完善。     

The Personal Sources of Responsiveness. Introduction to a Special Section

Responsiveness is a core value in democratic politics. Individual legislators are important mechanisms for implementing this concern in real‐world settings and thus facilitating responsive government. This introduction to the special section on this topic starts out by highlighting the special relevance of individual legislators in this regard and by sketching important theoretical considerations that emerge from the political science literature on this issue. In its main part, it summarizes the key findings of the contributions in relation to its main theme, namely the personal sources of responsiveness. We end with a short conclusion that reflects on possible tensions between responsiveness and the personalization of representative systems.
