和谐社会之制度正义诉求

一个和谐的社会,其制度必然是具有正义性的。制度正义包括制度本身的正义和制度运行的正义两个层次。在现实历史进程中,对制度正义的诉求,必然要求通过制度创新来实现,同时,对制度正义的诉求也会对制度创新产生积极的意义。因此,我们需要在制度本身的正义和制度运行的正义的指引下,以制度创新为动力,通过深化改革,切实克服影响社会和谐的体制弊端,建立新的社会制度规范,为和谐社会提供新的制度保障。

我国干部人事制度法治化初论

干部人事制度法治化即“干部法治”应是我国干部人事制度领域的基本宪政原则。长期以来,实践中存在将“党管干部”与“干部法治”对立起来的误区,并导致“荐举委任制”大行其道及一系列严重弊端。认真总结我国自实行改革开放以来30年干部人事制度法治化的基本经验,深入研究“干部法治”原则的主要内容、制度安排和实行路径,创建既体现国际先进水平又富有中国特色的干部人事制度,是我国政治体制改革面临的重要任务。

A Preliminary Assessment of Water Institutions in India: An Institutional Design Perspective

Water institutions in India play a crucial role in managing scarce water resources and are central to economic development and poverty alleviation. Designing appropriate institutional mechanisms to allocate scarce water and river flows has been an enormous challenge due to the complex legal, constitutional, and social issues involved. The Indian water sector has been grappling with poor performance and deterioration of public (canal and tank) irrigation systems, high extraction levels of groundwater, and related economic and environmental problems. The objective of this article is to carry out a preliminary assessment of institutional mechanisms available to manage water resources in India. The article surveys various formal and informal institutional arrangements that are used at present and their design features in order to identify those institutions related to superior performance. The analysis indicates that crafting “winning institutions” and the policy frameworks to strengthen them should take into account not only the proven criteria of institutional design but also the changing socioeconomic, political, and cultural factors.

Rebuilding Policy Capacity in the Era of the Fiscal Dividend: A Report from Canada

After two decades of focusing on deficit reduction and restructuring of operations, governments in many areas of the world are once again contemplating new policies and expenditures. In Canada, where budgetary surpluses have recently replaced deficits, the federal government has been asking whether it still has the capacity to make informed choices about new programs. This article examines Canada's recent efforts in rebuilding its policy capacity. It asks, first, to what extent and in what way was policy capacity originally lost. Second, it appraises the adequacy of new policy "networks," consisting of think tanks, consultants and government officials, as "virtual replacements" for former government-controlled advisory bodies, royal commissions, and in-house policy units. Finally, it notes the relative absence of parliamentarians, and even the political executive, from capacity-rebuilding activities, a deficiency that in the long run may undermine the legitimacy and effectiveness of such efforts.

Administrative Justice: A Libertarian Cinderella in Search of an Egalitarian Prince

This article argues that the political significance of the Coalition government's proposed changes to administrative justice, including the abolition of the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council, is in danger of passing unnoticed, despite its potential significance for the Big Society agenda. It suggests that the retrieval of genuine perspective lies in paying closer attention both to the contemporary importance of administrative justice and to the political debates of the 1950s and 1960s, which set opposing views of administrative justice in broadly libertarian and egalitarian contexts respectively. It concludes that the recovery in particular of an egalitarian account of administrative justice is necessary to animate, and rebalance, the debate. Administrative justice might then be perceived as an essential part of a broader political vision and a significant aspect of social justice more ambitiously conceived.

Dissent in Iberia: The ideal points of justices on the Spanish and Portuguese Constitutional Tribunals

In this article, the non‐unanimous decisions of the Portuguese and Spanish Constitutional Tribunals for the periods 1989–2009 and 2000–2009 are analysed. It is shown that judicial dissent can be predicted moderately well on the basis of judicial ideal points along a single dimension. This dimension is equivalent to the left–right cleavage in both Portugal and Spain. The characteristics of the recovered dimension are demonstrated by analysing both the properties of the cases and the properties of the justices who decided them.     

The Religious State in the Sudan: A Preliminary Characterization of the Debacle

The paper outlines some of the factors that have contributed to the regime's disintegration.

我国未来反腐败制度改革的关键:反腐败机构与体制

一个反腐败成功条件的分析框架,应该包括五个必要条件:领导人的政治决心、反腐败法律(立法)、反腐败机构和体制(执法)、反腐败战略、人民大众的支持。我国未来反腐败制度改革的关键是反腐败机构和体制。改革的方案应是纵向垂直、横向整合、授权充分、分步实施。一是对反腐败机构内部进行垂直化改革;二是对反腐败机构进行整合改革;三是通过体制改革和立法对反腐败机构进行充分授权;四是通过体制改革设置与反腐败机构权力对应的外部和内部制约机制;五是对党纪和法律的某些关系做出必要的调整。     

惩防体系的软肋：国企腐败的制度依赖性透视

国企腐败是中国最大的腐败。政治与经济双重体制的逆向挤压是国企腐败高发的动因。一方面,国家对国有企业的监管依旧是以行政化手段为主,自上而下的公权力对国有企业起到决定性作用,而国企正是依赖这种公权力,获得民营企业无法企及的超额垄断利益。另一方面,国有企业具有市场经济主体的属性,在国家监管、社会责任与公益目的极度弱化的情况下,多元化的经济行为和经营方式又成为其谋取私利的重要途径。瓦解国企强势既得利益集团谋利行为在于分类监管。公益性类企业的监管模式应当摒弃市场化监管手段,实行以政府监管为主、社会民主监督为辅助的监督模式;对竞争性国企应确立“非禁即准入”原则,建立国有资产退出机制。从根本上说,国企腐败治理关键在于瓦解国企腐败所依赖的制度环境,以全面改革代替局部改革,以制度创新代替制度修补。
