权威、权益、权衡：当代中国公民的政策参与

从长远来看,社会和经济的发展会带来公民政策参与的扩大。而从理论与现实考量,不适度的政策参与带来失序和无效,只有适度的公民参与才有利于政策过程的顺利实施。而这种适度的把握来自于公民政策参与,政府权威与公民权益的权衡,权衡的真正本意在于追求公民政策参与的有序性和有效性。     

关于强奸罪取证难问题的探讨

强奸案的取证难一直是检察机关探讨的问题,我们审查证据认定事实的时候,既不能让真正的罪犯逃脱惩罚,也不能让无辜的好人遭受冤枉,这一切都有待于证据的有效性。     

票据新抗辩理论评介

在德国兴起的新抗辩理论以权利外观理论为基准,对票据抗辩重新进行分类,即在从前的物的抗辩和人的抗辩之外,再承认一种独立类型的抗辩——有效性抗辩。新抗辩理论体现了对票据抗辩的正当性认识,使抗辩理论有所完善,显示了抗辩理论的发展方向,但是新抗辩理论自身仍存在一定的局限,因此,应辩证地看待这种新抗辩理论。     

文本·实践·语境:公诉证据标准的现代性诊断

公诉证据标准与其他配套制度机制一同维护着公诉权的合法性与有效性。一方面,在理论上,公诉证据标准并非一个独立的论题;另一方面,在比较法上,当今中外刑诉制度中的公诉证据标准也没有高下之分,均必须遵从公诉权的合法性与有效性之逻辑。西方法治国家的公诉证据标准辅证了这一制度逻辑。反观我国,当前承担公诉权合法性功能的配套制度机制尚不健全,导致公诉权的合法性只能依赖于较高程度的公诉证据标准和较强程度的犯罪控制能力。在此意义上,理论界对我国现行公诉证据标准过高的批评,似乎未中要害,急于降低我国当前的公诉证据标准,不仅缺乏程序制度基础,而且会挫动公诉权的有效性,并最终损及公诉权的合法性。     

切实增强党性教育的针对性和有效性

增强党性教育的针对性和有效性,是干部教育培训工作的永恒主题。针对性和有效性是相互联系的,要达到有效性,必须先研究针对性。因此,需要把握＂党要什么＂的根本方向,需要着眼＂干部是什么＂的任务要求,需要发挥＂我们有什么＂的独特优势,需要创新＂我们怎么干＂的培训方法。干部学院要根据中央确定的办学要求和功能定位,发扬传统,发挥优势,发展特色,充分发挥其党性教育的独特作用,促进干部树立正确的世界观、人生观、价值观。     

The lost 1990s? Personal reflections on a history of participatory technology development

This article traces a history of agricultural participatory research, largely from the author's personal experience. Participatory research in the 1970s was mostly led by disciplinary scientists, and characterised by innovative activities and open academic debate, with some recognition that policy and development practice was a political process. The 1980s saw a shift to learning from past experience, and a participatory mainstream developed, seeking methods for scaling up. Meanwhile, others sought to understand and influence policy and institutional change in their political and cultural contexts, and to keep open the academic debates. The author considers the 1990s as ‘lost years’, during which mainstream participatory practitioners became inward-looking development generalists, not so interested in learning from others outside their paradigm. The late 2000s provide a chance to re-recognise the political and cultural embeddedness of science and technology; re-introduce strong, widely based disciplines; and learn from past activities that resulted in positive development outcomes (planned or unplanned).     

反腐倡廉教育制度有效性发挥的约束与对策

随着改革开放的深入推进和社会主义市场经济的不断发展，腐败有了更加隐蔽化、高科技化和国际化倾向，对如何深层次发挥反腐倡廉教育制度的有效性，提出了新的更高的要求。现阶段教育方法陈旧、教育观念滞后和缺乏系统性、统一性等问题严重制约着反腐倡廉教育制度有效性的发挥，因此应该将提高教育对象参与廉政建设的能动性作为出发点，依靠群众，注重方法的科学性与实用性，在增强执行力的基础上不断提高自身防腐拒变的能力，从而形成防腐倡廉教育制度的长效机制。     

What could Development Studies be?

Over the past 10–15 years there has been an expansion of interest in the subject of Development Studies (DS). There are now significantly more taught courses focused on DS, and research funds are booming. However, over the same period, DS has faced sustained critiques about its essential nature. This has led us to ask: what is Development Studies? And what could or should it be?     

International volunteering for development and sustainability: outdated paternalism or a radical response to globalisation?

This article discusses the history and evolution of international volunteer-sending agencies and volunteers as a response not only to symptoms but also to causes of global poverty and inequality. It considers how international volunteers might be defined, what makes their role different from other forms of overseas development assistance (particularly their contribution to capacity development), and the positives and negatives that may accompany those differences. It also reflects on international volunteers' suitability as contributors in the transition to a globally more ecologically sustainable state, presenting some insights from volunteers and other stakeholders.
