Pursuing Chinese Studies Amidst Identity Politics in Malaysia

This paper seeks to analyze the development of three aspects of Chinese Studies, namely Sinology, China Studies, and Chinese Overseas Studies in Malaysia. Each aspect corresponds to different levels of looking at China: civilizational, state, and ethnic. It also examines how identity politics in Malaysia shapes the development of these fields and how these fields created different images of China. Sinology depoliticizes China and presents the magnificent Chinese culture as a positive element in Malaysian nation-building project. Chinese Overseas Studies de-centers China and examines the multiple identities of the Chinese people. China Studies were officially pursued under the agendas of inter-civilizational dialogue and friendship between China and Malaysia.     

非法人社团的独立财产权——以工会的独立财产权为中心

非法人社团虽然不具有法人资格,但在某种意义上,并不影响其享有独立的财产权,这一点,对于具有社会公共职能的社团而言,更具有现实价值。工会作为协调劳资关系,保护劳动者权益的重要社团,其独立财产权的享有是其生存和发展的根本所在。这充分表明,不具有法人资格的工会组织也可以准用独立财产权规则。这种准用得到了大陆法和英美法的理论和制度的支持。     

Putting the Cart before the Horse: Accountability or Performance?

Conventional wisdom argues that a good set of performance measures builds accountability and that improved accountability generates better productivity in the organisation. By way of an analysis of a case study in one inland Chinese county, this article shows that the assumed relationship between performance and accountability is more rhetoric than real. In practice, the implementation of performance measurement in local China leads to an accountability paradox, in which enhanced accountability tends to hinder the improvement of government productivity. The implementation of the Chinese target-based responsibility system risks boosting the short term accountability of public employees while undermining the long term productivity of government agencies. With the deepening of China's market-oriented reform, this choice appears to put the cart before the horse.     

试析消极自由观所面临的问题

消极自由观的实质是对“消极自由”原则的坚决捍卫,其排斥对自由实现条件以及享有自由的个体的背景的追问。消极自由原则的优先性遮蔽了“积极自由”对“消极自由”的必要性,遮蔽了人的存在背景,遮蔽了人的差异性。

公共危机中的非政府组织功能分析——以"厦门PX事件"为例

在公共危机中,非政府组织应该发挥参与、中介、预警、监督和服务功能,但在现实中却出现了严重的功能缺位现象.这主要是由于非政府组织与政府组织、企业缺乏良性互动,公民社会发展不充分,其自身发展面临困境,制约了功能的发挥.当前,应该通过构建非政府组织与政府组织的良性互动关系,推动非政府组织与企业的积极合作及加强公民社会文化建设和非政府组织自身建设,充分发挥非政府组织在应对公共危机中的应有功能.     

Decentralised governance and empowerment of county governments in China: betting on the weak or the strong?

Decentralised economic development initiatives empowering local governments have gained currency in both developed and developing contexts. The empowerment of county governments in China is a case in point. This study uses difference-in-differences (DID) and the fixed-effects model with panel data (1997–2008) in counties in Zhejiang Province to empirically investigate the different impacts of the empowerment reform on county economies and fiscal revenue (FR). The results reveal that the reform has not promoted county economies as expected but has significantly increased FR. The reform has had a larger impact on less developed counties than on developed ones, which suggests a positive outcome of this decentralisation policy in China with regard to revenue generation. This study on county empowerment in Zhejiang Province provides some policy implications for other regions in China or developing countries.

反劫持谈判战术误区(下)

警方用政府的强大优势所构成的强力资源来硬性地逼迫谈判者让步,并且要以对方绝对服从的模式来单一化地解决当前的劫持危机,事实证明这是反劫持致命伤,必然成为现场反劫持行动引发流血事件、导致人财两空的一个缘由。
