Impossible Jobs or Impossible Tasks? Client Volatility and Frontline Policing Practice in Urban Riots

Various public administration jobs are described as “impossible,” meaning that they have an unpopular or illegitimate client base, stakeholders have conflicting values, and leaders and their agency's mission are continually questioned. Although this framework is widely used, it has also become overgeneralized. The authors propose three theoretical extensions to understanding impossible jobs based on findings from a three‐year multimethod study of riot policing. First, a distinction can be drawn between impossible jobs and impossible tasks. Second, the relationship between impossible jobs and street‐level bureaucracy is clarified; the case of riot police shows that some street‐level bureaucrats face impossible tasks. Third, the authors show that the conceptualization of the client base has been overly static—in some situations, the client base fractures, or grows rapidly, and legitimacy can change in real time.

‘Lenin Lives’: Or Does He? Symbols and the Transition from Socialism

Symbols play an important role in the politics of all societies, especially at times of regime change when the symbols of the former regime are subject to three types of process: co-optation, contestation, and disavowal. An important symbol in post-communist Russia has been the body of Vladimir Lenin and, in particular, debate over whether it should remain in the mausoleum where it currently lies or whether it should be buried. Public opinion poll data throw some light on this, and enable us to evaluate the role that Lenin's body plays in contemporary politics in terms of notions of identity, legitimation, chronology and morality.     

Engaging in Small Talk: Nanotechnology Policy and Dialogue Processes in the UK and Australia

This article discusses the phenomena of nanotechnology, and notes that despite high investment levels for global research and development, the public presently understands neither the implications of this emerging technology nor how it might be best governed. It considers the notion of the public interest and its place in the public policy cycle, and notes some of the specific challenges posed by this new technology. Adopting a comparative jurisdictional approach, this article maps a range of policy and dialogue activities currently underway within the United Kingdom and Australia and concludes that policy dialogue is an essential component of public policy development for all emerging technologies. While the Australian government is currently beginning this process, compared to countries such as the United Kingdom, such efforts here are still embryonic. A fuller engagement in wide‐ranging public debate is suggested as a part of protecting the public interest.     

《物权法》与法治政府行为理念的塑造

《物权法》的制定和出台是我国法治建设中的大事,它对法治政府行为理念将产生的影响表现在:确立国家、集体和私人财产权的平等保护观念,保障市场经济主体平等参与竞争;增强私有财产的保护意识,维系公益与私益的恰当平衡,构建完善的控权和权利救济机制;倡导高效利民的服务理念,精简机构,提高效率,积极履行职责,提供优质服务;深化对有限管制的具体认识,转变管理方式,从传统上的微观、直接管理转向宏观、间接管理。     

非政府组织工作人员受贿问题研究

现代社会的发展和公共行政改革的深入,赋予了非政府组织在国家和社会事务管理活动中的重要地位,其工作人员利用职务之便,实施的收受财物为他人谋取利益的行为,具备受贿的性质。由于现行法律规制的缺漏,导致了理论和实践上的困惑。考察并借鉴国外有关受贿犯罪立法规定的合理之处,结合我国刑事司法实际的需要,建议增设以非政府组织工作人员为规制对象的受贿罪名,进一步完善受贿犯罪立法。
