有关官员财产申报观点的评析

官员的个人财产隐私权应让位于带有公共利益性质的公众知情权已经是学界达成的共识。但是，官员财产申报制度程序上的粗漏、执行力度的薄弱、司法追究的缺乏使得我国的该项制度基本上流于形式。基于对学界出现的“条件不足”、“时机成熟”、“自上而下”、“自下而上”等几种关于官员财产申报制度的观点进行客观分析可知，其建设和推广不可能一蹴而就，但也绝不能以配套制度尚未完善为由而停滞不前，不是条件不足，也不是时机不成熟，利害关系才是关键。因此，应以公共利益为先，本着崇高的公共服务精神，尽快将官员财产申报制推广开来，落到实处。     

Nationalism and the Rise of Peru's General Velasco

Velasco's brand of military nationalism marked a real break from the orientation of the majority of Peruvian military regimes, which were pro‐United States and espoused limited government. Many attempts have been made to explain this outcome, but the release of documents from British and United States archives clarify certain issues. Above all, Velasco's use of the nationalist card enabled him to win over decisive support from both the military and political society. This support gave him sufficient leverage to consolidate his personal position, which he did before launching a major programme of domestic property expropriation.     

潜在利益集团的规制理论:演进与重构

通过梳理传统利益集团规制理论的演进脉络,指出迄今为止的利益集团理论仍然存在几个不足,尤其缺乏对潜在利益集团的研究,规制经济学家也认为潜在利益集团没有政治影响力而将其排除于规制模型分析之外。文章试图阐明一种潜在利益集团视角下的政府规制模型,从理论上论证潜在的个体消费者如何解决集体行动困境问题,即如何完成个体利益的组织、表达和反馈等政治行动,这些问题的回答使利益集团理论从经济学回到政治学。最后提出潜在利益集团视角下政府规制的政策含义及其重点研究的四大主题。     

三种服务型政府观比较

当下中国学界与政界主要存在着三种服务型政府观,即基于政府价值理念的内涵定位和适应后工业社会治理要求的服务型政府观;基于政府价值理念的内涵定位和主要借鉴工业社会治理经验的服务型政府观;基于政府职能结构的内涵定位和主要借鉴工业社会治理经验的服务型政府观。它们在服务型政府的本质内涵、主要特征、兴起动因、理论基础等方面的阐释与定位都不尽相同。就目前所产生的实际效果而言,第一种服务型政府观理论目标相当宏大高远,但实践响应比较困难;第二种服务型政府观理论契合学界主流观点,但实践响应比较一般;第三种服务型政府观理论契合政界近期工作,且实践响应也较明显。梳理和比较这些不同的服务型政府观应当是推进和深化服务型政府研究的必要环节和重要任务。     

The Effects of Local Government Consolidation on Turnout: Evidence from a Quasi‐Experiment in Switzerland

In the last decades, municipal mergers have been one major element of local government reforms in Switzerland and beyond. In this article, we describe and analyze the political effects of this development. We use a quasi‐experimental setting to test the impact of municipal mergers on electoral participation. We find that in merged municipalities, the decrease in turnout is significantly stronger than in non‐merged municipalities. Further, the effect is more pronounced in relatively small localities. There is a temporal dimension to this effect—that is, turnout drops mainly in the first election after the first merger, but not so much after the second or third merger. Hence, the study provides a skeptical yet differentiated perspective on the democratic consequences of municipal mergers and points to further research avenues to develop a more comprehensive understanding of local government consolidation.     

我国机关事务集中统一管理改革的理论与实践分析

改革开放以来,我国机关事务管理变革工作经历了初步探索、全面改革和深化改革三个时期。我国机关事务管理经不断改革已经取得很大进步,但仍面临管理职能分散化、部门利益分割化等碎片化困境,因此我们应树立机关事务整体性治理理念,构建跨部门协同的集中统一治理体系。调研湖北省、山西省、江西省等地机关事务集中统一管理实践发现,集中统一管理具有优势也面临诸多挑战。未来机关事务管理应增强保障与服务职能,打造服务型组织;提高管理与运营能力,打造高效型组织;健全监督与问责机制,打造责任型组织。     

“放管服”改革的行政法意义及其完善

与先前行政审批制度改革相比,党的十八大以来大力推进的"放管服"改革更加强调权力调整的动态性、整体性、系统性,其对于优化政府职责、转变监管方式、深入推进国家治理体系和能力现代化具有明显的积极意义。但此轮"放管服"改革依然沿袭了行政审批制度改革的运动化、政策化思路,并不完全符合法治政府建设的基本要求。从职权法定、监管工具的动态调整、优化公共服务的基本法则三个方面,"放管服"改革的行政法意义和合法性风险可以得到更加清晰的呈现。要提升"放管服"改革的法治品性,需要以《行政许可法》的有效实施为核心,通过设立专门的社会化的"放管服"改革委员会、激活行政许可评价制度、引入更广泛的专家和社会参与、完善试验改革的授权制度、优化规制工具分析评价制度几个方面来实现。     

中国政府原理的集权之维:历史与现代化

所有的政治活动都有集权或分权的因素,当分权或集权具有系统性、结构性的特征时,分权或集权便超越了工具性的含义,具有制度安排的性质,或被称为分权政府,或被称为集权政府.西方的封建主义产生的分权体制,后经资产阶级革命用自由主义和代议制原则改造和创建了现代分权制衡的政府结构,分权的学说和分权政府由此被视为"永恒的规律".中国的...

Is a Federal European Constitution for an Enlarged European Union Necessary? Some Preliminary Suggestions using Public Choice Analysis

In order to guarantee a further successful functioning of the enlarged European Union a Federal European Constitution is proposed. Six basic elements of a future European federal constitution are developed: the European commission should be turned into a European government and the European legislation should consist of a two chamber system with full responsibility over all federal items. Three further key elements are the subsidiarity principle, federalism and the secession right, which are best suited to limiting the domain of the central European authority to which certain tasks are given, such as defense, foreign and environmental policy. Another important feature is direct democracy, which provides the possibility for European voters to participate actively in political decision making, to break political and interest group cartels, and to prevent an unwanted shifting of responsibilities from EU member states to the European federal level.
