The coastal zone as an administrative entity for governing U.S. marine minerals development

The coastal zone is being promoted as a spatial unit to coordinate and administer offshore minerals development with other coastal uses. Rather than aiding the administration of minerals development , the coastal zone is being used as the reason to block such development. This paper explores the coastal zone concept as an entity for administration. It concludes that just because minerals may be found in a coastal zone does not mean that physical entity is the most appropriate vehicle for administering mineral development. Arbitrariness at to what is included or excluded from a coastal zone as well as many minerals impacts being found outside of the coastal zone militate against such an entity being the sole criterion for decisionmaking. While the coastal zone may be appropriate for some mineral decisions, the choice to implement it must be arrayed against alternative criteria to ensure a high degree of effectiveness and efficiency in those decisions.     

Public budgeting and financial management curriculum reform: A conceptual framework

Public budgeting and financial management (PBFM) education has been undergoing intense scrutiny which can be seen through many professional conferences, journal symposia, and recently, the creation in 1984 of a Task Force on Budgeting and Financial Management Curriculum Reform by the Section on Budgeting and Financial Management of the American Society for Public Administration. This study analyzes pedagogic deficits in PBFM, suggests a comprehensive scope of PBFM, points to some dilemmas in PBFM curriculum design or reform, proposes some models for a curriculum reform, and raises some implementation constraints in each model.     

RISK MANAGEMENT: E-BUSINESS STRATEGY RISK MANAGEMENT

In recent years dynamic internet-based start-ups have captured the public imagination through the creation of revolutionary business models. As we are now seeing, many lack the financial stamina to survive and become profitable. Attention has switched to how established companies are trying to clone these new models to their competitive advantage. However, in the rush to do so, many organizations are making quite fundamental strategic mistakes; mistakes that are often then repeated by others. This may be because they have failed to recognize the need to apply advanced risk management thinking to both the strategic and implementation issues surrounding the E-business imperative.

美国安全应急体制的改革与启示

作为目前世界上安全应急体制发展最为成熟的国家,美国安全应急体制深受各国政府关注和学者重视。以历史唯物观所强调的社会有机体中生产力、生产关系和上层建筑三者之间的相互联系为依据,为美国安全应急体制设立安全应急环境、安全应急理念和安全应急机制三种变量,并以这三种变量之间的相互作用来分析美国安全应急体制改革历程的内在动力和发展趋势,可以发现,美国安全应急体制是在应对核战争所代表的传统安全威胁、自然灾害所代表的民生安全威胁以及恐怖主义攻击所代表的非传统安全威胁的过程中建立和形成的,这一体制的逐步完善也是其中所涉及的环境、理念和机制等三种变量之间相互作用和影响的结果。其改革发展历程的经验表明,美国安全应急体制能够适应安全环境变化而及时调整安全应急理念,并通过制定相关法律法规和完善组织机构来健全安全应急机制,因而具有积极的借鉴作用。但这一体制的发展往往过度依赖客观环境的推动,也会造成应急管理在主观上的防范疏漏,其中失败的教训也应当加以注意。     

地方政府公共服务供给能力:影响因素与实现路径

公共服务均等化是和谐社会的重要内容,而地方政府公共服务供给能力提升是公共服务均等化目标实现的重要保障。传统观点认为,地方经济或财政实力决定地方政府公共服务供给能力,但是,我们认为公民参与、社会组织、信息沟通、电子政务技术等对地方政府公共服务供给能力提升更具影响力。在公共治理理论框架下,本文分析了影响地方政府公共服务供给能力提升的经济、政治与社会综合因素,并在此基础上,提出了系统提升地方政府公共服务供给能力的实现路径。     

论志愿服务的常态化与可持续发展

作为一种推动人类发展和社会进步的高尚行动,志愿服务是爱心、良知、奉献和人性美的一种展现。志愿服务在弥补政府失灵,促进社会和谐与进步,弘扬人类真善美等方面具有积极的作用。我国的志愿服务事业正处于刚刚起步阶段,面临诸多的问题和发展困境,如参与机制不健全、社会参与面不广、人才流动过快、资金匮乏和不足、相关法律及伦理规范缺失、行政化倾向严重、管理体制与机制不健全、服务网络不完备等,严重影响和制约了志愿服务事业的发展。建立和健全志愿服务的长效发展机制,促进志愿服务的常态化与可持续发展,是我国志愿服务事业健康发展的必然要求和战略需要。
