我国第三方政府绩效评价组织的自律实现问题探析

政府绩效评价作为一种评价和改进政府绩效的实用工具,已经被广泛地应用于当今世界各国政府治理实践中。经过长期的探索与实践,目前已形成了多种评价模式,其中第三方评价依靠其自身人才、理论和技术方面的优势,在政府绩效评价中占据极其重要的地位。本文主要针对我国第三方政府绩效评价起步较晚以及缺乏相关评价机制的现状,从组织自律的相关概念出发,提出了在构建责任和效能政府过程中,如何发挥我国第三方政府绩效评价组织自律机制作用的设想。     

The factor structure of the Reckless Behavior Questionnaire

In this study, the relative fits of three different factor-structure models of adolescent reckless behavior were examined using the Reckless Behavior Questionnaire (RBQ) with individual samples of college and high school students. Both one- and two-factor models were found to be satisfactory representations of the RBQ with both samples. In order to test the construct validity of the one- and two-factor models, relations between instruments generally associated with reckless behavior were examined by gender. Using the two-factor model, gender differences were found for both the college and high school samples; thus, it was determined to be the more parsimonious fit of the data given previous research supporting gender differences. Findings are discussed in terms of current conceptualizations of factor patterns of adolescent problem behavior and implications for future investigations.B.A. from Oberlin College, and M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from University of Virginia.

From one participant cohort to another: Surveying inter-generational political incubation in an Indian University

Several recent studies propose that political choices of Indian youth can hardly be distinguished from those of their parents in many respects. Contrary to this well-established understanding, this article shows that when set apart from the spheres of family and work, students in a flagship Indian university—mostly in the social sciences and humanities—gradually transform their political attitudes in light of prolonged exposure to a campus environment. Through combining ethnographic study with the analysis of a survey of political attitudes of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, we show that time spent in situ fosters participation to political activities, increases chances of joining a student organization and make students more likely to identify themselves as politically radical. The class and caste background of students, on the other hand, are not strongly associated with political attitudes, showing the integrative nature of politicization on the JNU campus.     

Temporary legislation,better regulation,and experimentalist governance: An empirical study

This article presents the findings of an extensive multi‐method empirical study that explored the relationship between temporary legislation, better regulation, and experimentalist governance. Temporary (or “sunset”) legislation – statutory provisions enacted for a limited time and set to expire unless their validity is extended – is often hailed as a key tool for promoting experimental and better regulation. Despite the importance of temporary legislation and the burgeoning theoretical scholarship on the subject, there is still a dearth of empirical studies about how temporary legislation is used in practice. The lack of empirical evidence creates a lacuna in at least three areas of theoretical scholarship, concerning temporary legislation, better regulation, and experimentalist governance. This paper is a first step to fill this gap.     

通过市场机制实现政府公共管理职能问题研究——以深圳市西乡街道为例

在城市化进程中,我国各级政府面临如何更有效地提供优质的公共服务和管理的问题。2008年以来,深圳市宝安区西乡街道在辖区内探索公私合作进行城市街区公共管理的新模式,这一新举措的最大特点在于通过市场机制实现政府公共管理职能。本文拟在介绍这一改革具体过程的基础上,分析政府公共管理职能市场运行的理论合理性、实践必要性、合法性及正当性,并对其进一步完善及推广进行讨论,以期对我国城市管理机制创新提供有益的借鉴。     

环境应急管理机构:使命、境遇及改革

突发环境事件应急管理是各级环境保护行政主管部门的一项重要职责,这项职责目前由国家和一些地方环境保护行政主管部门所属的环境应急与事故调查中心承担。按照有关规定并从现实运行情况看,作为事业单位设置的环境应急与事故调查中心面临着其自身难以突破的困境。本文在剖析其定位、明确其归类的基础上,按照中央关于行政管理体制改革的精神,研究环境应急与事故调查中心的改革问题。
