When markets fail to deliver: An examination of the privatization and de‐privatization of water and wastewater services delivery in Hamilton,Canada

Abstract: The emergence of the “New Public Management” (NPM) and its faith in markets led governments to search for alternative methods in the delivery of public services. One of the most popular methods was privatization. The rationale behind the choice of privatization is based on what Charles Wolf describes as “non‐market failure.” This article argues that the market may not be as efficient as its proponents have asserted, especially when there is a monopoly over service delivery. This has been the case in many municipalities, in some developed countries, where privatization of water service delivery has reverted to public delivery. Using the City of Hamilton's experience with its water and wastewater services as an example, the authors' finding is that the nature of the good to be delivered is essential in determining whether the “market” or the “public” provides the best method of service delivery. Sommaire : L'émergence de la Nouvelle gestion publique (NGP) et sa foi dans les marchés ont conduit les gouvernements à rechercher des méthodes de rechange pour la prestation des services publics. L'une des méthodes les plus populaires est la privatisation. La justification du choix de la privatisation est fondée sur ce que Charles Wolf décrit comme un ≪“échec du non marché”≫. L'article fait valoir que le marché pourrait ne pas être aussi efficace que ses adeptes l'ont prétendu, en particulier lorsqu'il existe un monopole dans la prestation des services. Cela fut le cas dans de nombreuses municipalités de certains pays développés, où la privatisation de la prestation de leurs services en eau est repassée à la prestation publique. En prenant comme exemple l'expérience de la ville d'Hamilton concernant ses services d'approvisionnement en eau et d'évacuation des eaux usées, l'article conclut que la nature du produit à livrer est déterminante pour savoir si c'est le “marché” ou le “public” qui fournit la meilleure méthode de prestation de services.     

裴某非医师行医且未取得《医疗机构执业许可证》擅自执业处罚案分析

“打击非法行医”一直是卫生监督监管领域的重点工作之一，因为非法行医者无论从自身行医资质和医疗技术等方面都达不到专业医疗救治水平，而且在急救设备、诊疗设施等方面也实现不了必备的医疗救护保障。本案是扬中市卫生监督所建所以来，历时最长、路途最远、难度最大、取证最繁、争议最多、说理最服的“打非”案件，有许多值得借鉴的地方，特别是调查取证和案件适用，值得大家思考。     

我国商事仲裁制度改革若干建议

随着经济全球化的发展,我国现有仲裁制度的局限与不足日渐明显,需要积极进行改革,包括：应减少对仲裁机构的行政干预,确保其独立的民间地位;借鉴外国相关立法和经验,对仲裁协议作比较宽松的规定及解释;为提高仲裁效率,应赋予临时仲裁相应的法律地位;法院对仲裁的司法干预应不断弱化,而对仲裁的协助应不断加强。     

The Competition for Pupillages at the Bar of England and Wales (2000–2004)1

Fair entry into the legal profession promotes legal legitimacy and the inclusiveness of the administration of justice. This article asks which individual factors predict success in the competition for entry to the Bar of England and Wales. Using data from 2,178 British aspiring barristers, it finds that university attended and attainment at university and in the BVC were the strongest predictors of gaining pupillage. Ethnic minorities were initially disadvantaged in the competition for pupillages, but this became statistically insignificant when taking into account attainment and type of university. However, those aged 30 and above were still disadvantaged in securing pupillages when controlling for attainment and university. The article highlights the challenges of fair selection into a graduate‐entry legal profession. Entry is reliant on the profile of graduates emerging from the prior education system where ascribed characteristics such as ethnicity, attainment, and university type influence opportunities.     

耶路撒冷问题文化探源--对巴以新争端的思考

种种迹象表明,随着巴勒斯坦和以色列双方有关定居点和难民等棘手问题的逐步解决,耶路撒冷归属这一敏感问题将会成为巴以冲突中的新焦点。对耶路撒冷的文化探溯旨在说明:要想真正实现巴以和平,就必须合情合理地解决耶路撒冷问题。要想圆满地解决此问题,既要正视耶路撒冷复杂和动荡的政治历史,还应尊重耶路撒冷人特殊的宗教文化情感,更要兼顾阿拉伯和犹太两个民族的现实利益。要想尽快解决此问题,单靠美国、以色列和阿拉伯国家不行,还必须寻求欧盟、中国、俄罗斯等国际社会多方合作,而非美国单方主导的解决模式。中东和平问题,始于耶路撒冷,还会终于耶路撒冷。     

A reflection on the history of Chinese constitutionalism of last century

The academic circle often attributes frustrations of Chinese constitutionalism to the resistance of traditions. This article is of the opinion that the constitutionalism in modern China failed to be as what its framers expected precisely because of its inability to find motivation from traditions. Only when connecting itself with Chinese traditions can the “flower” of western constitutionalism get rooted in this land. “Li” (rites) is the backbone of Chinese traditions, but the rule by li, as the symbol of Chinese civilization, necessarily finds itself the focus of modern criticism on traditions. Yet, the negation and criticism that lasted for more than a century did not wipe out the imprint of history. Perhaps, in this age of unprecedented stability and easiness, we are more likely to find out the rational part implied in the rule by li as well as its particularity and lasting popularity in China. Rather than blind criticism or refusal, we should reflect, discuss, reconstruct, and rejuvenate the rule by li, and this may be an effective approach for Chinese constitutional reform.     

Pedophile types and treatment perspectives

Pedophiles constitute a heterogeneous group of sex offenders. Direct physiological assessment of sexual arousal has significantly increased our diagnostic skill and capability of monitoring treatment response. Erectile response studies have indicated that the majority of pedophiles and incest offenders show arousal to other paraphilias and frequently to appropriate adult sexual stimuli. Many sexual offenders deny or minimize their problem during initial interviews, but when confronted with laboratory results indicating deviant sexual arousal, they often acknowledge and elaborate on the paraphilia(s). Complete data and diagnoses are crucial in integrating treatment in the cognitive-behavioral paradigm.
