Does Coproduction of Public Services Support Government's Social Equity Goals? The Case of U.S. State Parks

The growing phenomenon of government-supporting charities prompts the question of whether these institutions help or hinder public values of equity in service access. Logit and tobit regression analysis using multiple data sources from the California and Florida state parks systems compares public parks with and without supporting “friends” groups. The results suggest that while parks philanthropy has produced real benefits in rallying citizen support for improved public spaces, it also introduces some distributional consequences that policy makers should not ignore. Namely, a philanthropic failure hypothesis is supported whereby wealthier Florida counties with greater income inequality are more likely to benefit from a charity supporting a nearby state park. Finding no similar result in California, the authors conclude that the association between community wealth and park charity presence may also depend on state characteristics such as the funding structure of each state park system, not just community wealth differences.

国家赔偿责任的民法基础

历史上盛行国家无不法行为能力理论,据此国家不对其公务员履行职务时的侵权行为承担责任,公务员要自己承担赔偿责任。随着法治国家观念的确立,国家开始代替其公务员向受害人承担赔偿责任,即所谓的代位责任。也有国家确立了国家的直接赔偿责任,即自己责任。但无一例外,国家的赔偿义务均建立在民法基础上,以全额赔偿为原则。我国国家赔偿制度确立了独一无二的"个人不赔,国家不全赔"的赔偿模式,偏离了赔偿法所固有的民法属性,无法良好保护受害人。而其根源则在于欠缺对国家赔偿责任的历史与本质的全面理解。有鉴于此,应尽快修订《国家赔偿法》,确立国家的全额赔偿责任,更好地服务法治国家的建设。     

延安时期新秧歌运动与政治象征的实践逻辑

政治实践可以理解为政治现实的象征化和政治象征的日常化两个环节的持续互动。在延安时期的新秧歌运动中,通过"旧瓶装新酒"的策略使政治现实通过新秧歌予以表达,对刘志仁式秧歌的典型塑造促使象征性权力的生成,最终进一步实现新秧歌在民众中得以日常生活化,契合了延安时期政治文化发展的内在要求。

宏观审慎监管中的中央银行角色定位

20世纪80年代以来,特别是1997年亚洲金融危机之后,传统金融监管理论和实践屡屡受到挑战与质疑。各国学者和政策制定者逐渐认识到,与传统微观审慎监管相比,宏观审慎监管才是防范和化解金融风险的有力工具。在宏观审慎监管政策实践中,首要问题是明确监管主体。目前,尽管中央银行在各国宏观审慎监管实践中的政策地位不尽相同,但均扮演着重要角色,可以概括为决策者、主导者和参与者三种模式,且各具优缺点。本文从宏观审慎监管政策与货币政策协调性视角出发,通过两种政策的辩证关系分析和国际经验借鉴,探讨了中国人民银行以主导者角色参与宏观审慎监管政策制定和执行的可行性及面临的困难。

18世纪来华传教士对中国古代修辞学的传播 ——以马若瑟《汉语札记》为例

在晚明耶稣来华会士中,最早向西方世界介绍中国古代汉语修辞学知识的是清初来华法国耶稣会士马若瑟.他1728年完成的代表作《汉语札记》是世界上首部同时论述汉语文言和白话的语法书,在西方汉语研究历史上影响深远;不仅如此,该书还第一次较为系统地梳理了古汉语的文体和修辞知识,在中国古代修辞学理论的西方传播史上具有不可忽视的开创性意义.《汉语札记》不受缚于西方古典修辞法,借鉴中国古代语文学研究成果,受南宋学者陈骙的影响,写作中也参考了陈骙的修辞学专著《文则》,对古汉语文体风格及修辞特点进行了论述、归纳和总结.
