后“三农”阶段的新问题

改革开放以来,“三农”问题的性质、内容、形式和特征等都已经发生了很大的、甚至是根本性的变化,由此也产生了后“三农”阶段的一些新问题。首先,政治身份与所有制关系变化的可能前景,是创制农村土地的公共所有制;其次,由于农村基层民主本身必然产生相应的权力,需要创制与城市不同的农村政治体制和民主政治;第三,“三农”平等与否的比较参照是城市,这已经成为事关城乡全局的主要社会矛盾,并在城镇化建设中得到综合而突出的体现;第四,农村发展需要建设新型的现代农业形态,但却存在许多复杂的麻烦和困难;第五,农村的代际转型将持续保有数量巨大且流动不居的后备就业群体。     

论我国地方“官场内生腐败”现象产生的体制性根源

当前我国正处在政治、经济、文化、社会和对外开放全方位的高速转型期,一些地方的权力腐败现象呈现出阶段性“多发、高发、群发”的态势。以阜阳市为代表的皖北地区之所以会发生“全方位的政治生态灾难”,实质是一种整体性和结构性的地方官场内生拓展型权力腐败。究其根源就在于,我国经济体制改革与政治体制改革互相脱节,地方行政体制改革与财政体制改革互相脱节,实行“党内民主”与扩大“基层民主”互相脱节。     

建设服务型执政党——中国共产党巩固执政基础的必由之路

共产党"执政为民"从根本上讲就是利用其所掌握的各种资源"服务于民"。为民服务,是政党生存的基础,是政党政治和社会功能实现的基本途径,是世界政党政治发展的大趋势。建设服务型执政党,是落实执政为民的根本保证。为此,需要转变观念,创新机制,促进党内外民主的互动;需要纯洁党的队伍,增强党的领导干部的责任意识,提高服务能力和执政能力;需要党内生活制度化,党际关系法治化。民主、法治、服务,将是共产党最大的合法性源泉。     

邓小平政治哲学研究述评

通过对近年来国内研究者关于邓小平政治哲学性质的定位、研究对象和内容、方法论特征、理论贡献和研究方法的理论成果进行梳理,可以看出目前邓小平政治哲学研究中存在着四个方面的问题:研究的水平较低;研究的边界不清;生搬硬套其他学科的范畴和框架;缺少对邓小平政治运作和政治实践案例的理证分析。鉴于邓小平政治哲学研究尚处于起步阶段的状况,我们有必要对邓小平政治哲学的进一步研究提出一些建议。     

Politics,Violence and Drugs in Kingston,Jamaica

The involvement of gangs, guns and ganja (marijuana) in Jamaica has, since independence in 1962, largely been confined to the capital, Kingston, and more specifically to the downtown, impoverished sections of the city known locally as the ghetto. This paper examines the characteristics of the ghetto; the context that it provides for political patronage among Kingston's most marginalised citizens; the evolution of certain downtown constituencies into garrison communities; and the separation between politics and drug violence that has marked the last twenty years, as Colombian cocaine has displaced locally‐produced ganja as the key drug to be consumed and traded.     

权威主义及其转型的理论分析

在现代政治学中，权威主义作为一个政治概念，有着不同的理解。作为当今世界实际存在的一种政治形态，权威主义实际上是指介乎极权政治与现代民主政治之间的一种过渡型的政治体制，它既有民主的成分，又有对集权的强制。权威主义一般产生于集权专制统治向民主政治过渡的国家，表现出过渡性、合法性、现代性、实用性等特征，它为经济发展提供稳定的局面，为向民主政治迈进打下了一定基础。政治发展的逻辑与现实决定着权威政治不会作为常态存续下去，应向民主政治转型。     

宪政视域中的多党合作

现代宪政以宪法为设计蓝图,通过控制权力和保障权利来实现政治的民主化、实践政治文明。我国的政党制度———中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度是中国政治民主化的实现方式,在宪政框架下发展、完善这一政党制度对于我国宪政的实现具有重要意义。     

Change or Continuity? The Chilean Elections of 2005/2006

This article examines the electoral campaigns for the Presidency and Congress in Chile in 2005/2006. It looks at the issues in the campaign and at the candidates, and their relations with the political parties. It concludes that the economic and political advances during the Presidency of Ricardo Lagos (2000–2006) provided a very favourable context for the fourth successive Presidential victory for the Concertación alliance since 1990. Although electoral continuity was very marked, there were new features – not least the election of a woman as President. Bachelet’s election is partly the product of social and political change taking Chile in a more liberal direction, and her campaign promised to extend and deepen social rights in Chile.

Policy networks,politics and decentralisation policies in Ghana

Policy‐making is a political process involving a network of actors with varied interests. This article uses policy network as an analytical framework to understand the politics of decentralisation policy‐making in Ghana from the perspective of interactions among interest groups. The article is based on a research study, which utilised semi‐structured interviews and documentary sources in its data collection. It argues that the lack of progress in decentralisation in Ghana can be explained by the politics surrounding government–interest group relations. The article also provides evidence to indicate how varied interests represented within the decentralisation policy networks affected politics and in turn influenced decentralisation policy‐making and outcomes.
