论中共党史学研究范式的转换

作为一门政治性很强的历史学科———中共党史始终保持着与时俱进的理论品格。以"三个代表"重要思想阐释中国共产党历史,既突破了传统的以"革命史"为主导的中共党史学研究范式,又固化、更新了20世纪80年代以来的以社会现代化为中心、以解放和发展生产力为主线的中共党史学研究范式,从而使中共党史学呈现出全新的研究路径。     

试论全球化与党的建设的现代化

全球化是当今世界最显著的一个时代特征,它不仅改变着世界经济、政治格局,而且也影响着中国现代化建设的历史进程.在当前,全球化对中国共产党自身建设的现代化也产生了深刻的影响,因此,党的现代化建设已成为新时期党的建设的一项十分迫切的任务.     

论中国共产党政策创新的模式与体制

政策创新是中国共产党最基本的创新行为 ,也是加强和改进党的领导的重要途径。中国共产党的历史就是不断进行政策创新的历史。在科学理论指导下的经验升华模式是中国共产党政策创新的基本模式 ,民主政治是中国共产党政策创新体制的根本特征。探讨中国共产党政策创新模式和体制 ,对于在新的历史条件下党的政策创新具有重要的指导意义     

试论党的现代化

对中国共产党历史经验的三次重要总结

试论中国共产党执政模式的变迁--一种体制视角的分析框架

执政模式是特定社会条件下的所有执政方式的有机复合体。中国共产党自1949年执政以来主要经历了三种执政模式:体制外执政模式、替代型执政模式和准体制内执政模式(双重体制执政模式)。只有对我党在特定的历史分期所实行的不同执政模式的特征、成因以及优缺点进行详细的阐释,才能增进对党的执政规律的认识与把握。     

把握执政普遍规律:深化中国共产党执政规律认识的前提

"三个代表"重要思想为全党提出了研究共产党执政规律的任务。潜心研究此问题不难发现,执政规律也有普遍、个别之分。在整个执政规律体系中,共产党执政规律显然属于执政的个别规律,在此之外,还有着更为宏观的、为所有执政者执政集团执政党所必须遵循的执政普遍规律。作为执政的共产党,既应该研究执政的个别规律,也应该研究执政的普遍规律,并且对相应的研究成果给予重视和借鉴,以达到加强自己的执政能力建设的目的。

Contrast and Foundation of the Public Oversight Roles of the U.S. Government Accountability Office and the U.K. National Audit Office

This paper examines and compares, according to the New Public Management approach, the U.S. watchdog, the Government Accountability Office, in its ability to oversee and call to account the executive branch of government, and its U.K. counterpart, the National Audit Office. Results of this examination indicate that the Government Accountability Office is more effective than its U.K. counterpart. Its greater effectiveness is attributable to the fact that it derives its powers and legitimacy from a written constitution; in contrast, in the United Kingdom there is no equivalent document defining the relationship between the state and the citizenry. As a consequence, the powers, duties, and self-perception of the National Audit Office are significantly weaker and more mutable than those of the Government Accountability Office.     

党的理论思想史精华论要--写在中共80周年和千年之际

纵观中共 80年历史和三代领导集体 ,我们会发现一条贯穿始终的基本法则 ,我们也应该总结出 80年来最基本的属于精髓和灵魂的东西 ,这就是主观与客观相一致。无论人们多么想超越现实 ,无论虚拟世界多么惟妙惟肖 ,但人毕竟不能拐着自己的头发脱离地球 (鲁迅语 ) ,不能靠精神恋爱生孩子 (列宁语 )。所谓主客观不断相一致就是“天人合一” ,即主观的外化物化与客观的内化人化 ,也就是合规律性与合目的性的统一。用当下的话说就是虚拟性与现实性的统一以及人与自然 (生态 )的和谐发展。或者叫解放思想实事求是。这是中共 80年实践活动的根本经验和思想理论精华 ,也是对唯物论历史观基本规律的理论贡献和发展创新。同时又是具有元理论性的认识规律的规律即“求是”之“是”。为了永远坚持科学理论的指导 ,对党的宝贵历史经验必须作出科学的时代的总结 ,才能世世代代永续相传。     

大革命与土地革命时期我党的学风经验

在大革命中,由于中共还处于幼年的不成熟阶段,对于马列主义的理论掌握得不够准确、完整,对中国革命的特点尚缺乏深刻的认识,还不善于将马列主义理论同中国革命的实际结合起来,即没有完全掌握和运用马克思主义学风。因此,在革命的紧要关头,党的领导机关没有能够领导全党巩固和发展革命的胜利成果,反而采取一再的妥协退让政策,使革命遭到失败。在土地革命战争时期,以毛泽东为代表的中国共产党人在反复实践的基础上,发扬了马克思主义的优良学风,把马克思主义理论与中国革命的实际相结合,逐步探索出了一条比较符合中国实际的土地革命路线和政策,使党在工农武装割据的条件下发展壮大起来。

The Institutionalization of the U.S. Supreme Court

In pursuing their goals, members of the U.S. Supreme Court areaffected by their institutional setting. How has that institutionalenvironment changed over time and what have been the politicalconsequences of those changes? Despite considerable analysisof the institutional dynamics of legislatures and executives,political scientists have been slow to bring time series techniquesto the study of the Supreme Court, and as a result much lessis known about its evolutionary path. Measuring a variety oforganizational characteristics, I construct an index of theinstitutionalization of the Supreme Court from 1790 to 1996.This indicator suggests that the integration of the Court intothe system of federal policy making has better enabled the justicesto satisfy their objectives. To demonstrate this empirically,I test a series of error correction models of judicial influence,each of which confirms that the nature of the Supreme Court'scharacter has had considerable implications for the scope ofthe justices' legal and political impact. These results underscorethe need for judicial scholars to examine the Court's policymaking in longitudinal perspective.

Urban policy perspectives in the U.S.A.: An extension of the Yarmolinsky option

Building on a suggestion by Adam Yarmolinsky that the Federal American government insure the equity that homeowners have developed in their property, we suggest some additional elements which would make a more complete urban policy package. Educational opportunity is seen as a critical element in property value within the American context and any scheme such as Yarmolinsky suggests needs to take into account the fact that house price reflects heavily the general judgment of the quality of the school to which that residence has access. Hence, a stabilization of the housing market is heavily dependent upon an equalization of educational opportunity. Two ideas to this end are suggested. One, the school parity adjustment, would grant funds directly to the school district, generally in inverse proportion to the assessed property valuation, and consistent with the funding required for a quality education. The second notion, the urban tax credit would help to rectify the desirability of suburban locations for parents of school age children by giving them tax credits for living in the city, and in effect, equalizing the subsidy which the government already provides suburban dwellers through insuring the school-inflated value of their property through Mortgage Insurance.
