推动产业技术体系变革实现县域经济的可持续发展

县域经济是我国国民经济的重要组成部分,从本质上说,县域经济也是“三农”经济。改革开放以来,县域经济获得了快速发展,但这种发展却往往伴随着资源耗竭与环境破坏。要实现我国县域经济的可持续发展,必须推动县域经济产业技术体系变革。通过对国外可持续经济理论的分析,结合我国县域经济发展现状,提出将科技进步视为实现可持续性县域经济的第一推动力;以现代技术改造传统县域经济产业;以生态产业园区建设为中心,构筑县域经济发展新平台;以行政立法,经济杠杆等手段,激发县域经济体系中的中小企业的创新意识,环境保护意识的县域经济可持续发展战略。     

新中国成立以来基层社会犯罪治理的历史图景与法理——以浙江龙泉为例

县域治理在国家治理中居于基础地位,而基层社会的犯罪治理直接关系着国家的长久治安。以浙江龙泉为例,纵观新中国成立后基层社会犯罪治理的发展历程,其治理模式大致经历了"全能主义治理""综合治理""合作式治理模式转型"等三种类型的更替。犯罪治理的变革主要表现为治理主体、治理方式、治理内容与治理模式的变化。70余年来,基层社会犯罪治理一些特有的机制得以延续,成为了当前犯罪治理的基本特征与经验,主要包括国家主导与地方探索、正式制度与非正式制度的综合运用、常规治理与运动式治理并存三个方面。未来,应当创新社会治理,推动犯罪治理的良性运行。     

A spatial analysis of county-level outcomes in US Presidential elections: 1988–2000

This paper identifies spatial patterns of county-level presidential election outcomes from 1988 to 2000, and tests the retrospective (reward–punishment) and issue–priority models of voting behavior within the context of county-level geographical clusters. Based on our spatial analyses, we find that: the geographical concentration of the partisan vote has increased at both the global and regional scales. Globally, counties have become more likely to be clustered with similar counties in terms of their partisan support. Regionally, Democrats have increasingly received more votes from the East and the urban areas than Republican candidates while the opposite is true in the West and the rural areas. The regression analyses also support aspects of the issue–priority model of voting behavior, while the retrospective theory is confirmed only for 1996.     

Land and agricultural commercialisation in Meru County,Kenya: evidence from three models*

What are the relative pros and cons of different pathways of agricultural commercialisation in Africa? This paper examines aspects of three commercial farming cases, each of which represents one of the three most dominant models of commercial agriculture – small-scale outgrowers, medium-size commercial farms and a large estate – in the high-potential area of Meru County in Kenya. The paper provides a comparative perspective across the cases, examining their outcomes in terms of land relations, labour, livelihoods and local economic linkages. The study used a mixed-methods approach, including a household survey and a range of qualitative methods including detailed life histories. We find diverse dynamics across our cases: increasing land consolidation spurred by the rising class of commercial coffee farmers, but also land fragmentation as a result of population pressure and prevalence of inheritance as a pathway to land acquisition in the case of horticultural outgrowers. The plantation generates relatively better paid employment for permanent skilled workers, while the commercial farms create employment for casualised, insecure and poorly paid seasonal labour. These labour regimes are highly gendered. The outgrowers combine family and hired labour. Across the three cases, farmers diversify income between on-farm and off-farm sources. The commercial and outgrower farms are dynamically integrated into the local economy, while the estate is less so. These features of the three models generate processes of social differentiation, which are reshaping the agrarian structure and rural economy in Meru County.

关于缓解县乡财政困难的思考

近年来县乡财政形势严峻,收支矛盾尖锐、债务负担沉重、虚收与财政风险等问题十分突出。缓解县乡财政困难根本在于县域经济持续快速健康发展,内在动力是不断深化改革:加大结构调整力度,强化收入监管力度,完善现行的“分税制”财政体制,加快地方公共财政体系建设,大力推进县乡机构改革和事业单位改革。
