增强民主党派民主监督的有效性研究

民主党派民主监督是中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度的一项基本功能,是民主党派政党价值和政治生命的重要体现.在当代中国政治系统和社会生态相互作用的复杂关系中,影响民主党派民主监督有效性的因素众多,其中,制约民主党派民主监督有效性的体制机制、主体客体、法律保障等问题较为突出.对此,必须从多党合作制度建设的现实需要出发,探索解决制约民主党派民主监督有效性的一系列问题,积极开辟民主党派民主监督有效性的实现路径.     

Health information systems,decentralisation and democratic accountability

While decentralisation is a much‐used term in development discourse, there is lack of clarity about how much autonomy should be granted to local agencies in programme implementation. This is particularly the case in the health sector in developing countries where decentralisation has resulted in the primary health centre (PHC) being identified as the focal point for the delivery of basic health services to rural citizens. An important element of primary healthcare reform has been the implementation of health information systems (HIS). These systems primarily account for monies spent to higher levels of administration and funding bodies rather than account for primary healthcare provision to citizens. In this article, we focus on various emergent processes of change that are occurring under the auspices of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in India to strengthen the interface between the PHC and the community. We present a case study of Gumballi PHC in Karnataka, South India. Our findings reveal ways in which these new processes can be supported by conceptualising the HIS as more than a mere reporting tool. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

社会主义民主对传统民主形态的超越

民主是人类历史进入阶级社会之后出现的一种政治现象,其发展经历了古希腊奴隶制民主、资本主义民主和社会主义民主等民主形态。作为人民当家作主的国家制度,社会主义民主是人类历史上新型的民主形态,它既继承了人类历史上民主政治发展积累的积极成果,又与以往的民主形态具有本质的区别,是对传统民主形态的超越。     

现代大学制度架构下高校民主管理

我国现代大学制度的核心是"党委领导、校长行政、教授治学、民主管理"。民主管理是现代大学制度的根基。高校民主管理通过党委领导下的校长负责制、教授治学、学术权力与行政权力协调、教代会制度等形式实现。     

Why Do Citizens Vote Against Their Basic Political Values?

The literature on correct and consistent voting has focused on issue‐opinions and argument‐positions when examining whether vote decisions correspond to individual political preferences. However, the question whether vote decisions align with basic political values has largely been neglected so far. This paper introduces a novel measure named value consistent voting. It finds that, in Switzerland, around 25% jettison their basic political values when deciding on proposals. Using multilevel regression analysis of survey data, this paper investigates the determinants of value consistent voting. Three theoretical approaches are tested; the sophistication, identification and ambivalence hypotheses. The results show that political sophistication and identification foster value consistent voting. Moreover, there is an interaction between education and adhering to the preferred party’s vote recommendation. This finding supports the thesis that highly educated citizens use heuristics most efficiently. However, the more ambivalent people are, the more often they vote against their basic political values.     

和谐社会视野下的民主政治建设与警察权的正确行使

“构建社会主义和谐社会”凸显了警察在构建社会主义和谐社会中的地位和作用。警察与民主政治建设的关系、警察职能的发挥、警察权的行使及对构建社会主义和谐社会的影响等一系列理论问题需要我们探讨,其中民主政治建设是构建社会主义和谐社会的重要内容,而民主政治建设与警察及警察权的行使密切相关,主要表现为：警察是国家民主政治的体现,是民主政治的促进和保障力量;建立法治型警察是社会主义民主政治的基本要求。     

Making citizenship public: identities,practices, and rights at Woodsquat

The common conception of citizenship is that of belonging to a political community, with the ensuing rights and responsibilities of membership. This community tends to be naturalized as the nation-state. However, this location of citizenship needs to be decentred in order to investigate current modes of democratic participation. This paper investigates current sites and practices of citizenship through reflection on a tactical housing squat of an empty department store staged by an urban social movement in Vancouver in 2002, known as ‘Woodsquat’. It uses a social movement perspective to look at citizenship, emphasizing the identities, practices, and locations of democratic engagement over the collective question of how we will live together in these places. From this point of view Woodsquat shows current limits of national citizenship, conceptually and practically, and suggests alternative possibilities for future citizenship practices located in multiple identifications with (political) communities. Moving from this analysis of political participation at Woodsquat attention is brought to the importance of spaces of democratic communication for possibilities of citizenship, where there seems to be a reinforcing relationship between public spheres, social movements, and democracy. Ultimately, then, actions at Woodsquat are argued to be a form of citizenship that emerged within a democratic public.     

探索教职工民主参与高校民主政治建设新形式

让教职工参与学校民主管理是提高高校教学管理水平、加强高校民主政治建设、发挥高校知识分子主人翁精神和责任感的必然要求。为了不断完善民主管理和民主参与机制,北京大学工会在构建和谐校园的进程中开创了"校领导与教职工见面会"制度。这种见面会制度的民主性、互动性、联动性在北京大学的民主管理工作中体现了较强的优势和创新性。
