我国行政审批范围的规范化

加入WTO，我国政府必须进行行政审批制度改革，以规范市场准入，优化投资环境。行政审批范围的设定是确定行政审批其他相关内容的基础。本文分析了我国行政审批范围设定存在的问题及其原因，探讨我国行政审批范围设定的原则，从而提出规范行政审批范围的对策。     

国际竞争力及其评价方法综述

全球化浪潮推动着国际竞争日趋复杂激烈。一个国家国际竞争力的强弱已经成为该国综合国力变化的决定性因素。20世纪70年代以来，对于国际竞争力的研究一直是国内外关注的焦点。随着研究的不断深入，国际竞争力理论获得了很大进展。国际竞争力的内涵日益丰富，还出现了从不同角度、不同层次对国际竞争力进行的许多分类。同时，评价一国国际竞争力的方法也取得了积极的成果。比较常用的方法主要有WEF评价法、IMD评价法、出口数据评价法和标杆测定评价法等。     

义务冲突研究

义务冲突作为排除犯罪性事由之一种在西方刑法学界是一个颇有争议的领域,我国学界对此则涉足甚少。在研究方法上,尤其是我国刑法学界对此多作静态意义的研究,没有从符合构成要件行为与排除犯罪性事由这种立体动态的关系中对其进行思考,我们愿稍作尝试。

Security, Capacity and Post-Market Reforms: Public Management Change in 2003

Public sector change in 2003 was a product of external demands and internal pressures for improvement. The specific areas addressed are responses to security threats in the international environment; strengthening internal capacity, particularly through whole-of-government approaches; and fine-tuning the public management model in part through readjustments to the centre-agency relationship and greater emphasis on horizontal structures and processes.
This is the ninth year an administrative essay has been published in the journal since 1996. Earlier chronicles include: J. Stewart 55(1) 1996; S. Prasser 56(1) 1997; J. Homeshaw 57(3) 1998; J. Moon 58(2) 1999; J. Curtin 59(1) 2000; C. Broughton and J. Chalmers 60(1) 2001; N. Miragliotta 61(1) 2002; and J. Nettercote 62(1) 2003.
In this issue two chronicles are published — the first, by John Halligan and Jill Adams, focuses on external security and internal capacity building. The second assessment by Scott Prasser takes a different view of compliant management, poor decisions and reactive change.     

'Designing Better Health Care in the South': A Case Study of Unsuccessful Transformational Change in Public Sector Health Service Reform

This article presents a case study of a project known as 'Designing Better Health Care in the South' that attempted to transform four separately incorporated health services in southern Adelaide into a single regional health service. The project's efforts are examined using Kotter's (1996) model of the preconditions for transformational change in organisations and the areas in which it met or failed to meet these preconditions are analysed, using results from an evaluation that was commenced during the course of the attempted reform. The article provides valuable insights into an attempted major change by four public sector health organisations and the facilitators and barriers to such change. It also examines the way in which forces beyond the control of individual public sector agencies can significantly impact on attempts to implement organisational change in response to an identified need. This case study offers a rare glimpse into the micro detail of health care reform processes that are so widespread in contemporary health services but which are rarely systematically evaluated.     

The risky business of public–private partnerships

Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are now a common strand of third way government policy, with better efficiency promised from the private funding of public infrastructure through the transfer of risks to private parties. This paper aims to investigate, on an empirical basis, the realities of risk transfers in PPPs and compare this experience against both the rhetoric of project proponents and the formal contract conditions. The paper outlines some conceptual frameworks underpinning PPPs and establishes the notions of risk shifting and risk sharing. The range of typical risks encountered in infrastructure projects is specially considered, and differences to traditional project delivery arrangements are articulated. Some empirical experience on the transfer of risks under PPPs is then outlined through a case study. This analysis shows the extent to which risks were shifted to the private parties as planned, or whether risks remained with government. It is argued that while commercial risks were largely well managed, governance risks were not. It is critical to understand better the nature of risk transfers in PPPs in view of the large financial implications of these deals along with long contract terms.     

积极参与经济全球化是二十一世纪中国的必然选择

随着经济全球化和我国入世后开放型经济的进一步发展,我国与世界经济的联系日益紧密,这既为我们全面建设小康社会提供了的利条件,同时也产生了新的不确定性和风险。在当前世界经济复苏乏力、中东动荡、美国一强独大、反全球化声音不绝于耳的时候,我们应当怎么办。对此,我认为继续积极参与经济全球化是本世纪中国的必然选择,或者说只有更加积极地参与经济全球化,才能实现我国全面建设小康社会的战略目标。
