A Comparative Perspective of Community Policing in Taiwan and Washington State

This study explores the attitudes and behaviors of Taiwanese police officers regarding community oriented policing (COP) by comparing their attitudes and behaviors with those of officers in Washington State. Data used in the study were collected from 375 Taiwanese line officers assigned to the city of Tainan and 167 American line officers from various police and sheriffs’ departments in Washington State. The study finds that (1) Taiwanese and American officers hold similar opinions of COP’s potential to reduce crime; (2) both groups are similarly involved in implementing the various strategies of COP; yet (3) American officers are more involved in formulating (planning/devising) COP strategies; and (4) are more receptive to citizen involvement in COP; while (5) Taiwanese officers are more receptive to civilian oversight, and (6) are more amenable to applying COP outcomes for evaluative purposes than are their American counterparts. Policy implications and areas for future research are discussed.

Analysis of Factors of Overpricing in Public Procurement: A Study for Low-performing EU Countries

ABSTRACT

The paper deals with the issue of overpricing of public procurement in low-performing EU countries. It examines a uniquely large sample of public procurement in 11 Central and Eastern European countries. Hierarchical regression is used to analyze the factors that influence public contract. Our results indicate that institutional factors have a greater impact on overpricing than individual decisions by the contracting authority. Our analysis for low-performing EU countries provides interesting results and also draws attention to behavior that is not typical of the better established and more advanced EU countries. Our results are particularly important for public policy in each country, as they show the direction of regulatory action in the field of public procurement. The results introduce a debate on the appropriateness of “one size fits all” regulations within the EU.     

《大唐西域记》的文学归属

除史地、宗教、民俗、中外交通等领域外,《大唐西域记》在文学领域的价值也很珍贵。研究《大唐西域记》的文学价值,首先应确定其文学归属。目前,对《大唐西域记》的基本认识主要有游记、行记、传记、报告文学、新闻文学、回忆录等。以上归类认识,各有其归类理由和一定程度的合理性,但均有缺憾:或者因视角单一而无法兼顾《大唐西域记》的其他特质,或者归类间互有重叠而身份难辨,或者会因传统认知对《大唐西域记》的文学价值造成遮蔽。打开视野和思路,跳出文体认识的局限,从《大唐西域记》深湛的宗教性内涵和多样的文学表现这两方面的有机结合出发,将其归入宗教文学(佛教文学)这一大的范畴,是一个较为合适的选择。这样处理,在突显《大唐西域记》自身价值的同时,可为数量众多的同类作品找到一个共同的归属,也为中国文学、东方文学和比较文学拓展出新的研究空间,为促进中外文学和文化交流提供一个典型的范例。同时,《大唐西域记》人文意蕴较为丰富,如伦理观念、生态意识、警示意义、求真精神、理想主义、开放心胸等,将它归入宗教文学,并非是要回归传统的宗教性解读,而应着重发掘、整理和研究其宗教性内涵中有益于当下、有益人的资源,实现其现代意义和价值。     

转型期我国利益整合机制述评

由于市场经济的普遍推广,人民的生活水平确实有了很大的提高。但伴随经济发展的同时,社会阶层、利益群体的分化也日益明显,他们之间因利益的不同而导致的矛盾也正日益凸现出来。严重的利益分化已经对经济、社会发展造成了不利的影响,已成为制约我国和谐社会发展的一个重要因素。近年来,对转型期我国利益整合机制的研究层出不穷。学者试着从各个角度提出一些改进的措施,以弥合这种趋势。     

证据开示制度比较研究──兼评我国民事审判实践中的证据开示

证据开示制度１９世纪始于英国,此后,受到各国重视。各国的证据开示制度都有各自的发展和完善历程。在具体的证据开示范围、方法及限制、制裁等方面也有所不同。我国在审判方式改革中,部分地区试行了庭前证据交换,但也存在不少问题,且有关诉讼体制、法制环境、诉讼观念等运行环境问题,尤其值得深思和研究。     

比较法概念的批判与重构

比较法的概念问题是比较法所有问题中的原点性、基石性问题。比较法学家在这一问题上形成了五种有代表性的观点,但这些观点都存在着各种各样的内在缺陷。本文提出,比较法是一门研究世界总体法律格局及其变化的学科。这一新的比较法概念和模式,可以为比较法开辟了新的发展方向和理论空间。     

Digital Infrastructure for Diversity—On Digital Bookshelf and Google Books

Diversity is a core value of cultural policy, and new global digital conditions for creative industries mean new challenges for diversity at a national level. Internet has become a new infrastructure for services and platforms, and global actors as Google and Amazon are changing the play. This article concerns digitization of books, the collection of the National Library of Norway and cultural policy. The results indicate the National Library's digital collection contributes to diversity in terms of demography, content, dissemination and techno-cultural aspects. For policy makers, libraries and researchers the study demonstrates a national digital service's contribution to expanded diversity.     

改革开放前后党的思想政治教育模式对比研究

人们在认识与研究思想政治教育的过程中,长期贯穿着———＂怎样教育＂、＂如何教育＂及＂用什么教育＂的思维模式。改革开放以前,我们党的思想政治教育主要以阶级教育为基本教育手段,以党内教育和军队教育为着力点,以政治理论灌输和学习运动为核心路径的模式而展开。改革开放以来,党中央在加强和改进思想政治教育的实践中,逐渐形成了由学习教育、辐射全民、典型示范、舆论导向、法制保障和学科建设六种要素构成的一套比较完备的运行模式,实现了党的思想政治教育史上的重大突破与创新。     

知情权与信息获取权——以英美为比较法基础的概念界分

知情权与信息获取权是两个不同的概念,在我国行政法学界有被混淆的倾向。以英美为基础的比较法视野看,两者在逻辑结构、规范表述和制度印证层面,都有着不同的特质。这对概念的界分,已然构成其信息自由立法理念的奠基。以此来反思概念混淆对我国现行《政府信息公开条例》在规范结构、立法理念和制度建构中的可能影响。并以概念界分为契机,指向未来更为完善的政府信息公开立法。
