基于电子证件的政府公共服务信息资源共享

随着电子身份证、电子护照、电子驾照等电子证件成为日益重要的公众个人信息的载体,并借助于电子政务基础网络和不断完善的管理体系和应用功能,电子证件日渐成为公共服务信息资源的新载体和公共服务的新趋势。本文根据政府公共服务信息资源共享的理论和RFID技术的特点,提出了基于电子证件的公共服务信息平台的技术框架体系,实现RFID技术、证件管理与政府公共服务信息资源管理三者的松耦合紧集成,并结合"大连市电子房产证信息服务平台"案例说明了框架的适用性和科学性。文章最后对推进电子证件在政府公共服务信息资源共享的制约因素和对策也进行了初步的分析和探讨。     

公共部门人力资源管理的理论与实践前沿问题探讨

行政信访影响公共政策的作用机制分析

随着社会建设的深化和行政信访的发展,信访制度形成了从信息收集到政策问题察觉,从沟通协调到决策方案评估,从政策宣传到促进政策调整的一系列作用机制,因此对公共政策发挥着重要影响和作用。与此同时,从社会管理有效实施、社会矛盾有效解决和社会纠纷有效定止来看,行政信访对于公共政策的影响和作用机制尚需进一步优化健全,其作用力度和深度尚需进一步强化完善。社会管理和社会发展是一项长期的系统工程,行政信访的政策功效实现及其发挥,根本上在于信访制度本身的完善以及相关机制的配套和优化。     

Political Dynasties in the UK House of Commons: The Null Effect of Narrow Electoral Selection

Does power persist within families? This article considers whether members of the UK House of Commons with longer legislative careers after 1832 were more likely to establish a political dynasty. Tenure can create opportunities to promote relatives. A regression discontinuity design for re‐election races helps to rule out the confounding influence of inheritable traits. There is no evidence for a causal effect of tenure length on establishing or continuing a dynasty. Established families may have constrained further dynasty development, explaining the null result of tenure.     

Some Thoughts about the Roles, Responsibilities and Future Scope of Auditors-General

This article treats Auditors-General in a generic sense, but focuses on those institutions developed out of the Westminster system of government which undertake financial statement or regularity audits as well as performance or value for money or efficiency-type audits. The audit offices included are those at both federal and state levels in Australia, the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and New Zealand.
The article is in two parts. The first selectively addresses perceived roles and responsibilities arising out of parliamentary legislation, debates and reviews or inquiries, Auditor-General reports, papers or similar contributions by academic and other interested commentators. The second deals with the future scope for influence, focusing mainly on possible contributions to the improved performance of the public sector including that of audit offices themselves. The latter recognises that auditors-general are very much part of the governance framework within which they operate. While they might be able to influence its development, the framework largely dictates their role, responsibilities and possible scope for action. Reflecting on that framework beyond the next few years might be an inviting conceptual exercise but is unlikely to add much value.     

Regulating markets: Marketing regulation

This article discusses the interrelationship between the role of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in regulating business behaviour and the role of the ACCC in dealing with the political environment. To do this I use a strategy framework of analysis.
