提高执政能力夯实执政基础

大连市地税局党组认真学习党的十六届四中全会《决定》,紧密结合新形式下党赋予税务机关的重大责任,深入分析基层党组织在执政能力建设上存在的问题,深刻认识到在新形势下,必须提高党的执政能力,夯实执政基础,才能更好地履行执政使命。     

以正当程序理念构建中国的刑事侦查制度

正当程序作为一条重要的法治理念和宪法性准则,正在逐步成为各国构建刑事诉讼程序过程中共同的价值取向。正当程序在美国被发扬光大,因此正当程序的理念渗透在英美国家刑事侦查程序的每一个环节中。最主要的体现是司法权对侦查权的制约、犯罪嫌疑人的沉默权及广泛的律师参与权等方面。考察我国有关刑事侦查程序的立法和执法实践,与正当程序的要求还有相当的差距。适当引入正当程序原则,对我国现行的刑事侦查制度的正当化改造有十分重要的现实意义。据此,完善侦查监督体系,强化犯罪嫌疑人的各项权利保障,实行逮捕和审前羁押相分离,以及建立非法证据的排除规则等方面,理应成为构建中国刑事侦查制度的主要内容。     

税改后如何发展农村公益事业

我国农村税费改革开始后,农村公益事业发展出现了新的严重困难,表现为农村公益事业缺乏投入,且无 组织机构管理协调。农村公益事业发展必须寻找新的出路。从社会主义现代化建设的要求看,农村公益事业发展的目标 模式应是城乡公益事业一体化。在现阶段,公共财政应对农村公益事业发展实施重点倾斜的政策,并把农村义务教育和 公共卫生防疫体系建设作为支出重点。同时,要积极探索发展农村公益事业的新机制,多渠道筹措发展资金。     

基层政府绩效评估的探索及其启示——以福建省福州市鼓楼区为个案

实证研究是政府绩效评估的本质特征和内在要求,但实证研究又是目前我国政府绩效评估的薄弱环节。福建省福州市鼓楼区作为基层政府在绩效评估方面的探索,对于推进我国基层政府绩效评估的实践进程具有现实意义。其具体做法是:整合评估,规范绩效评估的程序和方法;从实际出发,建立比较科学、客观、公正的绩效评估指标体系;注重评估结果的运用,努力发挥绩效评估的导向作用;开展绩效评估,推进了政府自身建设和管理创新。针对评估中存在问题可供选择的改进思路是:强化绩效评估的科学性和执行力;强化政府绩效评估问责制;建立电子政务绩效评估机制;构建应急管理绩效评估体系。可供借鉴的经验和体会有:进一步树立和强化政府绩效意识,努力提高行政效能;绩效评估指标的设置应围绕贯彻落实科学发展观,体现全面协调可持续发展的要求;不断完善绩效评估机制,实现政府绩效评估的法制化与规范化;建立健全绩效评估主体体系,实现评估主体的多元化;注重绩效评估结果的管理与运用,发挥好绩效评估的激励作用。     

Cycles in Politics: Wavelet Analysis of Political Time Series

Spectral analysis and ARMA models have been the most common weapons of choice for the detection of cycles in political time series. Controversies about cycles, however, tend to revolve around an issue that both techniques are badly equipped to address: the possibility of irregular cycles without fixed periodicity throughout the entire time series. This has led to two main consequences. On the one hand, proponents of cyclical theories have often dismissed established statistical techniques. On the other hand, proponents of established techniques have dismissed the possibility of cycles without fixed periodicity. Wavelets allow the detection of transient and coexisting cycles and structural breaks in periodicity. In this article, we present the tools of wavelet analysis and apply them to the study of two lingering puzzles in the political science literature: the existence of cycles in election returns in the United States and in the severity of major power wars.     

The nationalization of electoral cycles in the United States: a wavelet analysis

We take a new look at electoral sectionalism and dynamic nationalization in presidential elections. We treat this problem as one of synchronism of electoral cycles, which we estimate by using wavelets. After providing a self-contained introduction to wavelet analysis, we use it to assess the degree and the dynamics of electoral synchronization in the United States. We determine clusters of states where electoral swings have been more and less in sync with each other and with the national cycle. Then, we analyze how the degree of synchronism of electoral cycles has changed through time, answering questions as to when, to what extent, and where has a tendency towards a “universality of political trends” in presidential elections been more strongly felt. We present evidence strongly in favor of an increase in the dynamic nationalization of presidential elections taking place since the 1950s, largely associated with a convergence in most (but not all) Southern states.     

试论中关村抽象行政行为听证制度

中关村抽象行政行为的听证制度是指所辖中关村科技园区的行政组织在制定适用于中关村科技园区的规范性文件时听取行政管理相对人意见的一种制度.中关村抽象行政行为听证有着一系列的功能,建立这样的制度有其必要性与可行性,在具体操作时要遵循一定的程序规则与适用范围.     

关于加强福建监狱系统领导班子建设的调研报告

为深人了解和掌握监所领导班子建设情况，总结经验、查找不足、指导工作、推动发展，福建省监狱管理局从4月初至5月底，组成监所领导班子建设调研组，选择龙岩、泉州、清流监狱和建新医院四个不同类型的单位，就领导班子建设若干问题进行了专题调研，在全面掌握、综合分析的基础上形成了调研报告。
