关于社会监督的几点思考

党中央提出要"充分发挥各监督主体的积极作用",其中包括要"切实加强社会监督".对此,从这种监督的主体和客体、地位和作用、对策和思路等三方面进行思考,必须准确回答三方面的问题:一是思考社会监督的主客体,解决的是谁来监督和监督谁的问题,即社会监督的主体是社会,而政党、国家(政府)则是社会监督的客体;二是思考社会监督的地位和作用,回答的是为什么监督的问题,相对于政党和国家内部的监督,社会监督是外部监督、自下而上的监督和多数人的监督,更是直接监督和积极监督,人民群众是开展监督的"依靠力量";三是在思考社会监督的对策和思路中,要推进社会主义民主政治建设,落实社会监督.

Making votes count in parliament or government?

Several scholars have sought to elucidate voting strategies in proportional representation (PR) systems. The argument is that the existence of coalition governments forces voters to consider potential alliances and to vote in order to maximize their chances of influencing the outcome. In this paper, we argue that this vision is incomplete as PR, just as single-member district plurality, also creates incentives for voters to desert parties that have little chances of obtaining a seat in their district. We validate this theoretical claim using two different surveys conducted during the 2014 Belgian federal and regional elections. Our results show that both government and district viability have a substantial and distinct effect on vote choice.     

Negotiating justice: legal pluralism and gender-based violence in Liberia

The plural legal system in post-conflict Liberia expresses tensions between modern and customary institutions. This article seeks to understand how Liberians navigate choices in the plural legal system to address gender-based violence cases. By asking how and why people make the choices they do, we highlight how Liberians solve tensions between institutions, by creating flexible categories that allow them to pursue a course of action that does not compromise their ability to access social networks and resources.     

Narrowing the Gap: Explaining the Increasing Competitiveness of the Venezuelan Opposition

This article seeks to explain why electoral support for the Venezuelan opposition has increased substantially, using Venezuelan public opinion survey data from LAPOP and an opt‐in sample collected through the online vote advice application Brújula Presidencial Venezuela. It analyzes why Venezuelans who had either voted for Chávez or abstained in 2006 defected and started to support the opposition in subsequent elections. It proposes several reasons: negative voter evaluations of the economy, concern for public safety, and dissatisfaction with Venezuelan democracy. While the finding that negative policy evaluations boost support for the opposition aligns with theoretical expectations, this study finds a strong relationship between having different evaluations of the quality of democracy and supporting Chávez, which shows that the advocacy of two competing visions of democracy by the incumbent and the opposition also affects voting patterns in Venezuela.     

中国古代秘密侦查方法析评

秘密侦查方法具有其特殊功能,为世界各国所普遍采用。我国古代便产生了广泛而深入的各种秘密侦查方法,其中包括以“侯”侦探,逆用犯罪人;设告密箱;跟踪盯梢和狱内侦查等。古代秘密侦查方法具有其合理内核,也为现代秘密侦查方法提供了相当的启示,如善用现代科技,促进秘密侦查方法的完善;面对我国秘密侦查立法的困境,从秘密侦查启动条件、启动主体、秘密侦查适用对象、实施程序、秘密侦查所获取资料的线索以及证据价值、违法秘密侦查的后果等方面完善我国缺失的秘密侦查立法;根据主体、客体、程序和是否穷尽等要素合理适用秘密侦查手段。

WTO框架之下构建我国技术法规和标准体系的思考

为了消除国际贸易中不合理、不必要的技术性贸易壁垒,TBT与SPS协定应运而生。WTO在鼓励成员方采纳国际标准,或是在科学根据的前提之下制定高于国际标准的同时,WTO/TBT、SPS协议对各国技术法规的制定和实施采取了一系列约束性规定。我国作为世界上最大的发展中国家,完善的技术法规和标准体系对于我国开拓海外市场,促进出口,以及提高国内产品质量,保障消费者利益等都有着十分重要的意义。因此,我国政府相关部门必须结合我国国情,在广泛借鉴并认真研究WTO相关规则的基础上,构建我国的技术法规和标准体系。
