工会视角下的职工工资监控体系初探

工资是职工最核心的经济权益.建立和完善工资分配体系,既是市场经济条件下民本政府之基本职责,也是工会作为职工权益"代言人"的应有之义.在我国,尽管广大职工的具体利益和全国人民的总体利益高度一致,但不同时点存在的利益差异也客观存在.工会如何基于共性基础上的差异,建立和完善与职工工资权益密切相关的监控体系已成当务之急.     

论直接选举优于间接选举

从纯技术的角度看,直接选举与间接选举相比而言,在相同的前提下,则直接选举是优于间接选举的。直接选举是现代选举制度的基本原则之一。 中外学者对直接选举的优越性都曾给予了很多关注,约翰·密尔在他的《代议制政府》中就对直接选举与间接选举的优越性作了对比研究,但总的来说,还比较零散。本文对此拟作一探讨。 一、间接选举有直接选举所没有的很多缺陷 间接选举的优势是在于,它通过一个或一个以上的中间选举,对选民的意愿予以过滤,把在参政能力和思想素质方面更     

On studying world order: A plea for systematic inquiry

Conclusion The creation of improved systems of world order requires great care. Alternative configurations may or may not prove more suitable, and each must be painstakingly examined on its own merits. For those of us who are actively concerned with studying about world order, this means the application of a far more rigorous conception of inquiry to our subject. So long as we cannot accept the Leibnizian claim that this is certainly the best of all possible worlds, our search for better ones must certainly be the best of all possible searches. This means that models of world order must be derived from appropriate hypotheses and subjected to the strictures of systematic analysis. World order studies must be treated in accordance with the strict canons of inquiry outlined in this essay. Only then can they begin to develop the highly generalized system of theory that characterizes any science.     

中国工会职能实现过程中的资源需求与制度建设

党中央领导在中国工会十五大上明确提出:"把更多资源和手段赋予工会组织,为工会工作提供更好的环境和条件"。从中国国情和当前的实际出发,为工会工作提供更好的环境和条件,可以从权力资源、法律资源和舆论资源等方面进行拓展,并从制度建设入手对党和政府所赋予的资源和手段的供给、使用和管理加以规范和保障,确保工会职能的充分实现。     

重新审视韦伯的官僚制理论

韦伯对官僚制的研究乃是基于其对现代社会与政治的全面反思.官僚制是指一种无所不在的现代科层现象,它以自身的“理性”特征区别于其他的支配类型,影响着人们的日常生活以及精神状态.同时,韦伯将正当支配类型分为三种并非武断,而是有其理论关切的.通过对官僚制支配与超凡魅力型支配进行对比考察,韦伯从“日常/非日常”的视角揭示了它们所处理的事务在性质上的差异,由此说明了官僚制特有的局限性以及卡里斯玛型权威的必要性.此外,韦伯式的官僚制研究并不是为了生产专业知识,而是为了获得见识,并且帮助人们更好地对事物作出价值判断.     

Debt,democratization, and development in Latin America: How policy can affect global warming

The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis conjectures a nonlinear relationship between pollution and economic growth, such that pollution per capita initially increases as countries economically develop, but then reaches a maximum point before ultimately declining. Much of the EKC literature has focused on testing this basic hypothesis and, in studies that find evidence of an EKC, estimating the “turning point” level of development at which the per capita pollution‐growth relationship changes sign. This approach has not emphasized the policy relevance of specification issues or the potential role of policy variables. This research explores a modified EKC specification which conditions the pollution‐growth relationship on a country's level of debt and degree of democratization. These variables turn out to be significant, implying that different political and economic contexts can shift EKCs and their turning points. These findings suggest that policies to relieve debt burdens and institute political reform, in addition to their usual justifications, also could be used as a strategy to reduce carbon emissions from developing countries. © 2008 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.     

试论邓小平宪政理论及其特点

实行宪政是走向法治国家的必由之路。所谓宪政 ,就是以宪法为前提、以民主政治为核心、以法治为基石、以保障人权为目的的政治形态或政治过程。简言之 ,宪政即由宪法确认和规范的民主政治制度及其实施。为全面理解宪政概念 ,还需注意 :宪法实施是建立宪政的基本途径 ,建立有限政府是宪政的基本精神 ,树立宪法的最高权威是宪政的集中表现 ,实行法治是宪政的基石。邓小平在探索我国民主与法制建设的过程中所作的一系列思考和论述 ,形成了独具中国特色的邓小平宪政理论。在体系上 ,这一理论已构成邓小平理论不可或缺的重要组成部分 ;在实践中 ,…
