农村基层党组织在贫困村村民自治中面临的挑战及对策——湖南省35个贫困村的调查与思考

根据党章和《村组法》规定,农村基层党组织在村民自治活动中具有核心领导地位是不可质疑的,然而,当众多专家学者着重研究如何处理农村基层党组织和群众性自治组织的关系时,在部分贫困村却是另外一种境况:由于经济不发达等原因,基层党组织的核心领导地位被严重削弱,村民自治组织也呈涣散状态。文中从农村集体经济、党的自身建设、后备干部培养等方面提出了贫困村村民自治存在的主要问题,并提出了相关的应对措施。

邓小平社会主义理论的方法论原则

本文从两个角度分析邓小平社会主义理论的方法论原则:第一,科学性与价值性相统一的方法论原则。邓小平从信念论、本质论、实践论和认识论的角度,全面阐释了科学性与价值性相统一的社会主义原则。第二,矛盾普遍性与特殊性相统一的方法论原则。在二者关系上存在辩证思维方式和形而上学思维方式,由此得出两种不同的矛盾普遍性——具体普遍性和抽象普遍性。邓小平运用具体普遍性的思维方式考察中国实际,创立了建设有中国特色社会主义的理论。

农村基层党组织的现状、挑战及应对之策

改革开放以来,农村基层党组织在贯彻落实党的方针政策,组织和带领群众脱贫致富,维护农村稳定中发挥了重要作用,取得了不小成绩。但由于受市场经济冲击等因素的影响,一些农村的基层党组织失去原有的号召力、领导力,党的先进性、纯洁性难以得到充分体现。为此,要采取发展壮大集体经济,夯实基层党组织执政能力的物质基础;建立健全机制,夯实基层党组织执政能力的组织基础;坚持务实为民,夯实基层党组织执政能力的群众基础;加大教育培训力度,夯实基层党组织执政能力的思想基础等措施,加强基层党组织建设,进一步发挥基层党组织在建设美丽乡村中的核心作用。

Putting Electronic Voting under the Microscope

Electronic voting entered the political arena some years ago, with some countries advocating its use, some countries trialling and then abandoning it and yet others preferring to preserve the status quo of paper‐and‐pencil voting within a voting booth. In this paper we present the pros and cons of electronic voting and propose a set of characteristics we think electronic voting systems should exhibit. We then briefly review some pertinent concerns, issues and worries. We conclude by introducing the Handivote system, an electronic voting system that supports voting by means of SMS messaging, and explain how it measures up in terms of our own specified characteristics.

The IT Experience: An Example of Change in the Federal Workforce

Abstract

The information technology, or “IT,” functional area has been examined in some detail. This article summarizes the manpower reductions that have occurred in IT and displays the demographic impact (experience, age, educational level, race and gender mix) of these reductions. The author suggests that similar changes may be anticipated, or may have already occurred, in other functional areas that experience personnel reductions. He also reviews some of the management challenges this poses.     

Beyond for or against? Multi-option alternatives to a corrective referendum

Referendums commonly offer a binary choice between supporting and rejecting proposed legislation. Binary designs benefit from simplicity and guarantee a majority result, but also provoke voting biases and interpretation challenges. Referendum designs offering multiple policy alternatives provide a different approach which could alleviate binary referendum challenges whilst maintaining the aggregative benefits. Offering more than two options, however, raises new challenges in designing the referendum process and obtaining majority results. This article uses survey data collected on a corrective referendum held in the Netherlands in 2018 to compare the challenges faced by binary and multi-option referendum designs respectively. The analysis demonstrates how the multi-option design empowers voters in expressing their preferences and delivers more detailed and constructive referendum results. Building on the survey data, the article subsequently discusses the challenges of extending choice and concludes that alternative voting methods can mitigate some of these challenges.
