Shifting linkages in ethnic mobilization: the case of RMDSZ and the Hungarians in Transylvania

The Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ) has been the most stable actor in the Romanian party system over the past two decades. However, in this article, we argue that beyond this apparent stability, the linkages between RMDSZ and its voters have undergone a gradual, yet significant shift. The ethnic block voting of Transylvanian Hungarians was closely connected to the concept of a self-standing and parallel “Minority Society,” and to the practices of institution building that the minority elites engaged in in the early 1990s. However, since its first participation in the Romanian government in 1996, RMDSZ has gradually departed from this strategy, a phenomenon that was also closely connected to a process of elite change within the organization. The present RMDSZ leadership puts less and less emphasis on policy programs that could reinforce the institutional system of the minority; consequently, it is unable (and unwilling) to organizationally integrate the community activists of the minority society who previously had played a key role in the process of (electoral) mobilization. At the rhetorical level, RMDSZ did not abandon the goal of building a parallel Hungarian minority society, but in its linkages to the Hungarian electorate, clientelistic exchanges have become predominant.     

Urban Regeneration Policy from the Integrated Urban Development Model in the European Union: an Analytical Approach Based on the Study of Spanish Cities

For several years, local governments have been tackling new challenges related to the regeneration of their cities within the physical sphere, as well as in their economic and social aspects. This task is developed in accordance with what has been called the Integrated Urban Development Model, understanding the integrated nature of this approach not only in terms of the spheres of public policy involved, but also in relation to their management. In this paper, this management is analysed in terms of the development of mechanisms for New Local Governance and New Public Management (NPM). Using Spanish municipalities as a case study, this paper develops an analytical tool for the analysis of this model of urban intervention within the European context, paying close attention to the development of mechanisms for New Local Governance from a multilevel perspective, as well as the development of mechanisms for NPM.     

The emergence of regulatory regionalism: transnational networks and the diffusion of regulatory agencies within regions

The regulatory regionalism approach has increasingly claimed that a new mode of regional governance is emerging globally. Regional policy regimes, developed in broad social and economic territorial areas, affect the internal transformation of the state. The authors plan to provide comprehensive empirical evidence about the emergence of worldwide regulatory regionalism by identifying how regulatory agencies have diffused very successfully within the regional level in recent decades. The paper aims to identify, using an original methodological design, the ways in which such diffusion of agencies occurred, as this may have theoretical relevance for the study of regulatory regionalism. The authors' hypothesis suggests that transnational political interactions in each regional cluster triggered agency diffusion, contributing to the development of the regulatory state within the countries of each region. To test this hypothesis, the authors employed a data set of regulatory agencies including the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), and most Asian and Latin American countries (+59) from 1950 to 2007, for 15 sectors related to finance, risks, utility and competition. Bayesian data analysis was used to estimate the parameters of interest.

毛泽东与过渡时期总路线的提出:几个重要关节点的再考察

关于毛泽东提出过渡时期总路线的原因和过程,学术界已有很深人的研究,但对提出过程中的几个重要关节点,如：为什么说毛泽东在1952年9月24日中央书记处会议上的讲话提出了“从现在开始过渡”的新设想?过渡时期总路线的基本轮廓是何时形成的?1953年6月政治局会议讨论的是什么文件?毛泽东的讲话都涉及哪些内容?通过国家资本主义改造资本主义商业的政策是何时确定下来的?在从建设新民主主义到实行过渡时期总路线的理论转换中,中央领导人之间有何认识上的差异?这些具体而又重要的问题,仍有进一步考察的必要。对此作出说明和某些史实上的补充、订正,有助于认识的细化和深化。     

论亚洲经济一体化

在市场力量和各国政府的推动下,亚洲的区域合作与经济一体化正在蓬勃开展,不仅是东亚地区,南亚、中亚、西亚地区的经济一体化也出现良好的发展势头,同时还出现了跨次区域经济一体化趋势。本文论述了亚洲经济一体化的发展现状,着重分析了东盟、中国、日本、韩国和印度的区域经济一体化战略,并勾画了“泛亚洲经济共同体”蓝图。目前,亚洲经济一体化的显著特点是各种形式、各种范围的区域合作机制并存,这一局面仍将继续。     

德国网络言论自由保护与立法规制及其对我国的启示

随着网络日益成为人们生活中的重要元素,网络言论自由的保护与立法规制也成为法律视野中的重要问题。德国在网络言论自由的保护上延续了宪法对言论自由的保护,但同时颁布了《多元媒体法》进行专门的立法规制。从与美国的网络言论规制比较来看,这是由网络言论的双重属性决定的,也与德国在网络言论保护上的价值取向和传统言论自由保护的方式有关。我国应从此两个方面入手,结合自身特点,实现网络言论自由的保护和立法规制。     

“十四五”及更长一段时期高校毕业生等青年劳动力供需趋势研究

青年劳动力的供给与需求情况是分析青年就业问题的关键。研究使用第七次全国人口普查数据、《中国劳动统计年鉴》数据和《中国教育统计年鉴》数据,对“十四五”及更长一段时期我国青年劳动力供给和分行业的新增劳动力需求情况进行了分析。研究发现：2010年以来,我国高校毕业生数量呈现扩张趋势,供给不断增加;预测结果显示,从当前到2035年,我国劳动力市场将面临供大于求的非均衡态势,特别是高校毕业生数量增多和扩招积压效应叠加,高校毕业生等青年群体就业压力将进一步凸显。研究建议,可以从增强人岗匹配度、优化就业条件、加强就业帮扶、积极引导青年投身乡村振兴等4个方面化解供给冲击和结构矛盾,促进广大高校毕业生等青年群体实现高质量充分就业。     

论公安机关执行力

公安机关执行力是完成战略任务所需要的系统化的能力,现阶段集中体现为快速反应、实际作战和依法办事能力。执行力在公安机关具有特殊重要性,是新型警务运行机制的核心取向。提升公安机关执行力,构建新型警务运行机制,要从打造执行力组织、改进执行流程、建立执行文化、提高执行主体素质、消除执行障碍、创设执行工具出发,综合采取优化组织架构、推行执法管理新模式、改善警务运行环境、加强民警实战培训、增进同步协调和激发工作活力等措施。
