我国林权纠纷解决机制及其完善

解决林权纠纷是新时期集体林权制度改革的必要前提和重要保障。我国在法理和实践层面都存在着林权纠纷的多元化解决机制,包括民间性、行政性和司法性纠纷解决机制。但这些机制在观念认知、制度安排和方式方法上都还存在诸多问题,当前迫切需要加强多元化、法治化和专业化建设。     

抽象人格权与人格权体系之构建杨立新

当今的人格权法中出现了一般人格权、人格商业利用权以及自我决定权等。这些非具体人格权的产生是对具体人格权的补充性发展,而非体系构建的产物,因而由其与具体人格权共同构成的人格权体系内部产生了矛盾。传统民法注重对外在人格和内在人格的保护,对此通过具体人格权制度予以实现,但对于处于人格核心地位的意志自由则欠缺保护。意志决定自由是人格的本质,决定了人的人格个性和人格发展,民法应当予以保护。抽象人格权就是对于意志自由的保护。它包括自我决定权、一般人格权和人格商业利用权。抽象人格权在人格权体系中的地位是具体人格权的权能,同时具有一定的独立性。由抽象人格权与具体人格权构成完整的人格权体系,对意志自由、内在人格和外在人格提供全面的保护,并且可以解决具体人格权与各种非具体人格权之间的矛盾。     

近年来公共管理理论研究回顾与展望

新世纪以来,随着欧美各国政府公共管理改革的深入推进,公共管理理论研究进入第六波发展浪潮。当前,公共管理研究呈现出新的理念与发展趋势,主要表现在:研究视野从新公共管理(NPM)转向新公共治理(NPG);研究重心从强调管理要素转向公共要素;行动主体转向科层制与市场的结合体———网络。展望后危机时代,全球公共管理发展将面临系列共同挑战,出现新的主题与研究方向:全球化3.0时代的比较公共管理和全球公共管理研究;处理全球复杂公共事务问题的协同治理和网络治理;Web2.0信息技术时代的数字治理等。     

我国行政服务中心网上联合审批研究——基于整体政府理论的分析

网上联合审批是地方政府行政服务中心探索流程再造、实现一站式审批的重要项目;然而,网上公共服务面临的碎片化问题是我国电子政务向纵深发展的困境,也是提高地方政府服务能力面临的棘手问题。作为回应政府治理碎片化问题而诞生的整体政府理论为我国网上联审提供了突破性思路。今后,在将相关部门整合在一个办事大厅采用电子办公的基础上,需要加强网络和审批的整合,对于文化以及社会力量的整合,方能使电子政务真正实现以服务公民为宗旨。     

Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Movers Scale in a French-Canadian Population

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study that draws upon a collaborative research strategy and has two main objectives: 1) Translating and adapting into French the Measure of Victim Empowerment Related to Safety (MOVERS scale) (Goodman et al. Psychology of Violence, 5(4), 355-366, 2015a); 2) Validating the French version of the MOVERS scale in a population of French-Canadian women receiving shelter services. The French-Canadian MOVERS (FCM) was administered to 189 women receiving shelter services in the province of Québec (Canada). The factorial structure, reliability and validity of the FCM were tested. This paper highlights that the FCM replicates the three dimensions found in the original version (Goodman et al. Psychology of Violence, 5(4), 355-366, 2015a), displays significant correlations with measures of depression, anxiety and stress, self-esteem, perceived social support, satisfaction with life and self-efficacy, and has overall good reliability estimates. The FCM is a valid and reliable scale to assess safety-related empowerment among women receiving shelter services. Furthermore, the scale provides interesting opportunities to shelter workers, which will be discussed in the paper.

     

The Welfare Conventions Approach: A Comparative Perspective on Social Impact Bonds

Abstract

The Social Impact Bond (SIB) is a new funding mechanism for welfare programs. It is supposed to create savings for the public sector from which private returns can be deducted. Presented as a purely technical solution, SIBs discard their political morality. The Welfare Convention Approach (WCA) is designed for studying SIBs as disputed and versatile welfare apparatuses. It is claimed that elements from diverse historical welfare conventions (the philanthropic, communitarian, civic, market, full employment, entrepreneurial, financial, and behavioral) reveal the diverse institutional conflicts and compromises of SIBs at the time they are implemented. In so doing, the WCA informs comparative research on SIBs.     

Gender Differences in Worry About a Terrorist Attack: A Cross-National Examination of Individual- and National-Level Factors

Prior research has found gender to be associated with worry about crime and terrorism. We used World Values Survey data to assess gender differences in worry about terrorism across 54 nations. Analyses also examined the influence of individual- and national-level factors. Women were significantly more worried about terrorism in 22 of the 54 nations. Men in Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and New Zealand were significantly more worried about terrorism than women. Individuals were more likely to worry about terrorism as the nation’s average mortality count in terrorist incidents increased. Policy implications and directions for future research are discussed.     

Bio-Kraftstoff, Nachhaltigkeit, Boden- und Naturschutz

Um ihr Klimapaket und die damit verbundenen Ziele im Bereich der erneuerbaren Energien umzusetzen, hat die Europ?ische Kommission eine Richtlinie zur F?rderung der Nutzung von Energie aus erneuerbaren Quellen vorgeschlagen. Um den Richtlinienentwurf rankt sich – auch noch zur Zeit – eine breite noch nicht abgeschlossene Diskussion, in deren Rahmen unter anderem Bedenken gegen die F?rderung von Energiepflanzen, die als nachhaltig deklariert wird, ge?u?ert werden, da blühende Kulturlandschaften dadurch verschandelt werden. Der Beitrag besch?ftigt sich mit der politischen und rechtlichen Diskussion des Richtlinien-Entwurfs.
