走向共赢的格局:中国环境治理与地方政府跨区域合作

多年以来跨界的环境污染得不到有效的解决,已经成为中国环境治理上一个反复发作的顽症.究其原因主要在于现行行政体制的"分割性".因此,地方政府间建立跨区域合作机制不仅必要,而且是可能的.各级政府之间的"环境共治"是中国未来环境保护体系的一个发展主轴.而观念创新与区域认同意识的强化、中央政府的主动性与支持、政府间的协调与合作组织的建立、法制的保障与境外管辖权的试行,是本文对如何就环境治理进行跨区域合作的一些建议.这种环境治理的跨区域合作是一种"新区域合作主义"。     

A study of the effects of a Micelle Encapsulator Fire Suppression Agent on dynamic headspace analysis of fire debris samples

The effects of a Micelle Encapsulator Fire Suppression Agent (F-500, Hazard Control Technologies Inc., Fayetteville, Georgia) on the routine analysis of fire debris samples by Gas Chromatography (GC) were studied. When mixed with water the product can be used in the suppression of Class A and Class B fires. Laboratory tests were performed to determine whether or not the product has any effect on the analysis for ignitable liquids by GC, in particular for gasoline, medium petroleum distillates. and heavy petroleum distillates. Test burns were suppressed using either the micelle encapsulator or water and samples collected from these burns were analyzed. The results of analysis show that use of the micelle encapsulator at a fire scene may affect the chromatographic data obtained from samples collected by the investigator. However, the effect does not prevent the identification of common ignitable liquids in fire debris samples.     

Crafting village democracy in China: The roles, networking, and strategies of provincial elites

There is no obvious and direct correlation between the provincial level of economic development and democratic level of village elections. There is a great disparity in the level of rural democratization and the implementation of village self-governance among and within provinces. The modernization model alone cannot explain why village elections work well in some provinces but not in others. This paper looks at the political elite’s ongoing efforts at provincial level to conduct village elections and implement village self-governance in rural China. These efforts include the strategies for crafting village democracy employed by provincial elites: elite cooperation, local legislature, political responsibility, political programming, and the art of balancing party leadership and village elections. He has published extensively on China’s village elections and local governance. He is author and coauthor of several books. His current research interests include the development of non-state, local governance, and political participation. The author gratefully acknowledges the anonymous reviewers, Professor He Baogang of Deakin University and Professor Zhong Yang of University of Tennessee for their suggestions on an earlier draft. My special thanks to Professor Joseph Fewsmith of Boston University, Professor Tan Qingshan of Cleveland State University, and three anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments, as well as to East Asian Institute of National University of Singapore for providing support for this research.     

中国加入WTO与政务公开制度之构建

WTO透明度原则必将要求并推动我国政务公开制度的构建和完善。政务公开对保护公民基本权利,发展社会主义民主政治,消除腐败,创造公平公正、廉洁透明的发展环境等有着举足轻重的作用。与有关国家相比,我国的政务公开制度还比较落后。"入世"加速了我国市民社会的成熟和发展,行政观念的转变,社会信息化程度的提高,对构建完善我国政务公开制度提出了迫切要求。要借"入世"契机,培植法治社会价值理念,加速政务公开制度创新。

赖声川戏剧中的台湾外省人形象及身份认同

赖声川在有关台湾外省人形象的剧作中,呈现了外省人第二代在身份认同上的心路历程。这些外省人形象,折射出他们从最初承继父辈的大中华观念,至意识到这种观念的现实障碍,再从两代人不同的生命体验出发,重新思考、调整对自身处境的认知,理性地容纳对台湾的在地情怀和对大陆的民族血缘、中华文化的精神传承。对此客观、准确的解读有助于我们对台湾社会的一个重要侧面之理解,为理解和把握两岸关系提供有益的启示。
