Beveridge at Eighty: Learning the Right Lessons

The eightieth anniversary of the Beveridge inquiry is a timely moment to consider how the landmark report is used within contemporary UK politics. Calls for a ‘new Beveridge’ reflect a desire for a rupture with the past and the creation of a radical new welfare consensus. But this reflects a misunderstanding: Beveridge's approach was organic in nature, building on decades of experimentation, politically contested rather than consensual, and intellectually pluralist rather than moored to a single ideological worldview. The real insight Beveridge offers us today flows not from his substantive agenda—which was rooted in a particular set of historic circumstances—but as an approach to securing social reform. Successful welfare advances over the last generation have drawn on these ‘Beveridgean instincts’. Rather than calling for a new twenty-first century blueprint to be handed down from above, reformers should build on experimentation and successful incremental change, from within the UK and abroad.     

论政府购买公共服务的保证责任

政府购买公共服务是公私协力的表现,是担保国家理论在行政法中的具体化。透过担保国家理论、公私协力背景分析政府购买公共服务的行政法属性,政府保证责任作为政府购买公共服务的责任转型,有其宪法渊源与民事责任阙如的现实需求。基于保障社会公众以合理的价格持续、均等地获得质高价优的公共服务之目的,政府保证责任可以类型化为监督责任、管制责任、接管责任,其内容体现为保证有限竞争、质量与价格供给、持续与均等供给以及公共服务的信息公开与公众参与。可以通过行政规制、契约治理及信用监管等措施,促进政府保证责任的最终实现。     

Internships and the State Government Human Resources Crisis

State governments face massive retirements over the next few years. Since internships have been a significant source of bright new blood, we examine what all fifty states are doing with internships. Some exemplary programs were found, but the typical state intern program serves only a few unpaid students, supervisors receive no special training, and no tracking is done to see whether interns stay in state service or what their contributions are. While many states blame stringencies, the budgets involved are comparatively modest and potential benefits significant. We propose an action agenda for state governments and the public administration community.

Re-conceptualizing State Responsibility:Human Security Protection,Confl icts and Governance

Different from the perspective of traditional national security, human securityis an essential component of non-traditional security. Human security is influenced bymulti-dimensional factors. Human security will be threatened if one or more of thesedimensional factors get twisted. Such threats, once accumulated to a certain level, maytrigger a confl ict. While some factors may have a low correlation with confl ict, some otherfactors may have a multiplying effect in triggering the confl ict. Further, confl ict may betriggered by a single factor or multiple factors. Poor governance may lead to escalationof confl icts. Deep understanding of triggering effects and their correlation with confl ictsis essential to addressing the root causes and the management of conflicts effectively.Concepts of human security, state responsibility of protection and neo-interventionismhave been developed in succession. Though the people-centered security framework drawsglobal attention, it should be recognized that there is no international consensus on anoptimal type of governance. However, according to the Charter of the United Nations, theprimary responsibilities of human security protection should be rested on the governmentof a state. The principle of sovereignty remains the fundamental principle of internationalrelations, which should be the guiding principle for addressing human security issues.

试析斯考契波的“国家自主性”理论

“国家自主性”是20世纪70年代以来兴起的概念,它表明国家重新进入政治研究的核心视野中。西达?斯考契波（Theda Skocpol）的国家自主性理论是在对非马克思主义国家观、马克思主义国家观以及新马克思主义国家观批判的基础上来进行构建的。其以现实主义、结构主义和历史主义的视角,在宏观层面剖析出国家的强制性特征、国家利益以及国家能力等要素,从而证明国家具有“潜在自主性”。斯考契波打破了传统国家研究的社会中心主义视角,将国家作为自主实体的研究推向了新的高度。     

经济发达地区福利结构差异的政治经济分析——以辽宁、浙江和广东三省为例

1994年中国分税制改革后不同区域的福利水平和福利模式逐渐趋异。例如,辽宁省在财政支出中社会保障类福利支出较高而教育类福利支出较低,浙江省的教育福利类支出较高而社会保障类支出较低,广东省对于这两类福利支出的比例都偏低。福利支出结构的差异源自于这三个省份不同的经济发展模式和政商关系。作为理性行为者的地方官员,为了推进地区GDP(晋升指标)增长和扩大税收,会在福利支出的结构上跟随当地主体类型企业的福利偏好。     

福利行政中行政相对人违法研究

福利行政中行政相对人违法是指政府行政系统在为公众提供行政救助以及其他社会福利的法律行为中行政相对人违反行政法规范和行政法典则的情形.其行为表现主要有：消极履行劳动义务、虚构困境信息、获取非法利益、阻滞权利人获取权益、侵害福利设施等.原因是多方面而深层次的,基于此,必须通过构建新的行政法体系来矫正行政相对人的违法行为,即强化宪法中的义务理念、建构福利行政法体系、量化福利行政的各项指标、建立新型行政违法制裁机制.
