Managing Government Integrity under Hierarchy: anti-corruption efforts in local China

In contrast to the early campaign style anti-corruption strategy based on nationwide uniformity, disparate local integrity initiatives and programs have proliferated in China in recent years. Local innovation in managing government integrity has been encouraged by the Center. Drawing on the author's fieldwork in Guangdong, this article investigates the rationale behind such development and addresses the question of why the central leadership has become receptive to local initiatives in cadre management, an area where political conformity was deemed necessary by an authoritarian regime. It suggests that the strategic adjustment testifies to the institutional failure of the earlier anti-corruption regime that manifested in, inter alia, an acute agency loss problem. The emerging approach to integrity management nevertheless has paradoxical institutional roots. It indicates some new thinking by the central authorities on holding local governments responsible for integrity management. Just as clearly, the adjustment is also driven by the Center's concern about losing control and its desire to ‘manage’ government integrity under hierarchy.     

Corruption and marketization: Formal and informal rules in Chinese public procurement

The relationship between market liberalization and corruption has attracted scholarly attention in recent years. Conventional wisdom holds that increased economic marketization reduces corruption. China, however, provides evidence to the contrary; corruption has grown as its market‐oriented reforms progress. This paradoxical co‐development of the market and corruption begs the intriguing questions of how corruption has survived marketization and what explains the failure of government regulation. Extending the conceptual framework of institutional theory about formal and informal rules, and using public procurement in China as an example, this article shows that formal tendering rules and regulations may be modified, circumvented, or replaced by informal ones which facilitate corruption. The article identifies four corruption schemes through which procurement actors may distort competition processes and mechanisms under the guise of formal rules. Consequently, public procurement in China displays the structural outlook of market competition, but not its essential substance.     

绿色GDP核算与山西可持续发展

山西经济结构为重型结构,资源与环境问题非常突出。文章通过对山西绿色GDP核算的研究,提出山西可持续发展的对策:树立绿色GDP的理念,转变经济增长方式;建立完善山西资源开发和环境损耗的经济补偿机制;以绿色GDP促进循环经济发展;将绿色GDP纳入干部的考核体系中。     

应用降落PCR检测减蛋综合征病毒的研究

根据已发表的减蛋综合征病毒 (EDSV)核苷酸序列设计了 1对扩增长度为 1 .1kb左右的引物 ,采取降落PCR对EDSV gDNA进行扩增。结果 ,从 2份EDSV鸭胚尿囊液、3份人工感染鸡输卵管组织液的核酸抽提物中 ,均扩增出与设计大小完全一致的目的片段 ,而对照样品的扩增均为阴性 ,该方法最低可检测到 32pg的EDSV gDNA。表明该降落PCR用于检测EDSV特异性和敏感性均较强 ,可用于减蛋综合征的诊断     

再论沉默权

沉默权是犯罪嫌疑人和被告人特有的对来自官方的提问拒绝回答或者保持沉默的权利,在上个世纪90年代我国修改《刑事诉讼法》和签署《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》前后,这一问题曾经引起法学理论界和实务界的广泛讨论,但时至今日,沉默权在刑事诉讼中的定位依然模糊。本文在总结学界观点的同时提出若干构想,故曰“再论”。     

网络虚拟财产的法律属性及保护浅探

网络虚拟财产具备许多与现实财产相同的属性和特征,可认定为财产。它具有虚拟性、价值性和现实性,这种财产也应该得到法律保护。但是,虚拟财产只有与现实的社会关系发生具有法律意义的联系时,才能切实进入法律调整的范畴。     

WTO与中国行政救济制度范围的扩大

我国已加入WTO有关的行政行为也应与WTO的规则相适应。对行政权力进行有效监督和控制的行政救济制度的改革,就显得尤为重要。我国的行政复议范围及司法救济范围应确立“司法最终救济”的原则,不断扩大司法审查的范围,从而最大限度的与WTO的规则相接轨。     

论国共合作的利益基础

在中国的近现代史上,国民党和共产党是影响最大的两个政党。共产党是代表广大人民的根本利益,是无产阶级和中华民族的先锋队。国民党代表大地主、大资产阶级的利益,是官僚资产阶级的政党。两个如此阶级基础和性质完全不同甚至一度不共戴天的政党却在历史上实现了两次合作。究其内部原因是两党出于自身利益的追求。当时共同的强大敌人的存在,威胁着他们各自目标和各自利益的实现。在同样的历史条件下必然会造成大体一致的政治目标。既然合作有利于各自目标和各自利益的实现,合作的前提条件自然就应运产生,合作的共同基础得到建立,合作成为历…     

牦牛β-干扰素基因的克隆与表达

提取经植物血凝素(PHA)诱导培养的牦牛外周血淋巴细胞总RNA,采用RT-PCR技术扩增并克隆了牦牛IFN-β基因,经PCR和酶切鉴定及测序分析,再克隆到pGEX-4T-1质粒载体中,构建了原核表达重组载体,经IPTG诱导表达重组蛋白,可表达约41 ku的牦牛IFN-β融合蛋白,主要以包涵体形式存在。序列分析结果表明,牦牛IFN-β基因ORF为498 bp,与乳牛IFN-β参考序列的同源性高达98.6%,与猪、马、猫、人IFN-β基因的同源性分别为72.5%、68.9%、66.1%和63.5%,而与狗、鼠、鸡等动物的同源性均不超过25%;分子遗传进化树分析也表明,牦牛与乳牛IFN-β基因的亲缘关系最近,而与鼠、狗、鸡等的亲缘关系较远,说明IFN-β基因有种属差异性。
