突破传统经济发展方式的体制障碍——建设服务型政府的意义和对策

传统的经济发展方式要实现根本性转变,必须与政府体制改革和服务型政府建设相辅相成。服务型政府建设有利于突破传统经济发展方式的体制障碍,提高政府公信力,重塑政府形象,更好地发挥政府在推进经济发展方式转变上的积极引导作用,有利于把发展社会事业和改善民生作为转变发展方式、扩大国内需求的重要着力点。因此,建设服务型政府必须牢固树立＂以人为本＂、以服务为核心的行政理念,以转变职能为核心,以依法行政、公开透明为准则,以＂大部制改革＂和＂公共财政＂打造为推手,建立以基本公共服务为导向的政府绩效评价体系,为经济发展方式的转变提供切实的体制保障。     

论经济危机下竞争政策和产业政策的协调——兼评我国十大产业调整和振兴规划

2008年8月,《中华人民共和国反垄断法》（以下简称“反垄断法”）开始实施,我国竞争法体系初步形成,此时正是竞争政策发展的重要时机。经济危机全面爆发后,我国先是宣布四万亿救市计划,又先后颁布了各重点产业振兴规划。竞争政策与产业政策如何协调本就是一热点话题,如今在经济危机的背景之下,更是难以作出决断。竞争政策与产业政策既存在共同的最终价值目标,相互影响,又存在不同的具体目标和作用机制。以美国和日本在经济危机时的对策为借鉴,我国目前应实施积极的产业政策,竞争政策应适当放松,但其优先地位不可动摇。

Law enforcement access to personal data originally collected by private parties: Missing data subjects' safeguards in directive 2016/680?

Access by law enforcement authorities to personal data initially collected by private parties for commercial or operational purposes is very common, as shown by the transparency reports of new technology companies on law enforcement requests. From a data protection perspective, the scenario of law enforcement access is not necessarily well taken into account. The adoption of the new data protection framework offers the opportunity to assess whether the new ‘police’ Directive, which regulates the processing of personal data for law enforcement purposes, offers sufficient safeguards to individuals. To make this assessment, provisions contained in Directive 2016/680 are tested against the standards established by the ECJ in Digital Rights Ireland and Tele2 Sverige on the retention of data and their further access and use by police authorities. The analysis reveals that Directive 2016/680 does not contain the safeguards identified in the case law. The paper further assesses the role and efficiency of the principle of purpose limitation as a safeguard against repurposing in a law enforcement context. Last, solutions to overcome the shortcomings of Directive 2016/680 are examined in conclusion.     

Continuing Revolt of the Urban Chinese Voters: The Case of Kepong

Abstract

Since the 2008 Malaysian general election the Chinese vote has swung overwhelmingly to the opposition, and this trend has continued in the 2013 general election. When announcing the results of the 2013 general election, Prime Minister Najib labelled it as a ‘Chinese tsunami’. Taking the case of Kepong, this article attempts to explain the reasons for the urban Chinese voters’ continuing support for the Democratic Action Party.     

Mega-Regional Trade Deals in the Asia-Pacific: Choosing Between the TPP and RCEP?

The emergence of “mega-regional” trade agreements has recently become the most significant trade policy issue in the Asia-Pacific. Since 2010, governments in the region have launched negotiations for two new trade agreements: the United States-led Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the ASEAN-led Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Differentiated by their membership, scope and level of ambition, the TPP and RCEP embody competing visions for how the Asia-Pacific trade system should evolve, and regional governments must now make choices over which initiative better serves their economic and political interests. This article explores the trade policy choice posed by these mega-regional trade negotiations, reviewing the evolution of the Asia-Pacific trade system, the recent emergence of the TPP and RCEP, and the competitive dynamics inherent in the development of the two proposals. It argues that four key considerations (trade policy ambition, the role of ASEAN, US-China geopolitical rivalry and defensive concerns) will be of key importance in informing regional governments’ decisions as the TPP and RCEP move towards completion in 2015.     

Prison Recruitment as a Policy Tool of Local Economic Development: A Critical Evaluation

Like the sports franchises and foreign auto plants that preceded them, state and local governments are touting prisons as the latest means of economic miracle‐making, often for small towns and communities that are economically depressed. The building of prisons is supposedly tied to the development of a just, fair, and rational criminal justice policy in a civil democratic society. Prison building has positive and negative social and political consequences for these communities. This critical essay explores some of these consequences in light of the literature on prison siting, the experiences of communities and prisoners, and relevant statistical data in the public domain. It also offers an alternative framework for evaluating prison recruitment as a strategy for local economic development.
