托克维尔的帝国思想探析

托克维尔一方面是一位著名的自由主义思想家,另一方面他非常热心地支持当时法国在海外——特别是北非阿尔及利亚地区——的殖民和扩张政策,这一"矛盾"即所谓托克维尔的"阿尔及利亚问题"。如何解决这一问题是近年来托克维尔研究领域关注的热点之一,主流的以詹妮弗·皮茨(Jennifer Pitts)为代表的"自由帝国主义"论者认为,托克维尔的帝国立场在最终的意义上与其严肃的政治理论不相契合。这一解释角度具有很大的缺陷。事实上,有充分的证据表明,在托克维尔自身的思想中,自由和帝国二者之间并没有那么大的矛盾,而这二者的结合更应该促使我们重新思考托克维尔的自由概念,而不是简单地认为这是一个错误。

中华帝国衰落的文化根源及其启示

从文化的角度看,中华帝国的衰落在宋明理学提出"存天理、灭人欲"的社会核心价值观之时,就已经注定了衰败的结局。至于什么时候衰落以及什么历史机遇促使其衰落,这仅仅是一个历史际遇问题。从这一角度来思考中华民族的伟大复兴,思考中国特色社会主义核心价值观的构建,也许能够找到更加深刻的答案。

E-government gateway project and authentication： The case of Turkey

Parallel to the advancements in information and communication technologies, certain risks and security problems also arise, one of which is the authentication problem. In order to control who can have access to information sources, it is of utmost importance to develop an advanced authentication mechanism. It is through this mechanism that one can protect personal information, and prevent unauthorized access to the information or services provided. Likewise, this mechanism can block unauthorized persons to change or release information that is not public. All the work being undertaken in this field can be named as access control. The concept of authentication is among those concepts that have been studied for a long time in Turkey in the context of rapidly growing e-transformation efforts. In the process of e-transformation, the transformation circle is completed by first defining the concept of modeling business processes, followed by the formation of automation process, and lastly, providing services in electronic medium.     

Innovation with public administration in Turkey

Public administration can play an important role in achieving a sustainable global competition level for this country through innovative services （Ozhaseki, 2006, p. 29）, to which there is a rising demand in the name of competition, globalization and new necessities of the society （Tosun, 2006, p. 19）.

To start with, organizational leadership, collaboration and good communication are needed to enable joint development of innovation, for example, to increase computer and information literacy, access to the Internet, and demonstrate the value of using the Internet （OECD, 2006, pp. 6, 9） Financial incentives for developing innovation by public organizations to share their solutions could also be considered.
