Corporate governance reform: the case of Korea

Due partly to the expectations of foreign investors, the reform of corporate governance following the 1997 financial crisis has largely been in line with the Anglo-American outsider model at the expense of Korea's traditional insider model. The increased role of the (equity) market vis-à-vis banks and shareholder activism, NGOs and foreign investors has helped to constrain ‘tunnelling’ by controlling shareholders. While the complicated ownership structures have yet to be resolved, the governance paradigm of chaebols has gradually changed from one dominated by family or controlling shareholders to a system in which the power of professional managers and monitoring of markets have increased substantially.     

Does it matter ‘who governs?’ Governance networks,local economic development policies,and the Great Recession

This study purports to examine whether governance networks influence cities’ use of local economic development policies, specifically business incentives, and if the role of networks changed during the Great Recession. Using American cities that responded to the International City/County Management Association’s Economic Development Survey in 2004 and 2009, hierarchical cluster analysis was employed to identify groups of cities with similar network membership patterns. The results of negative binomial regression models indicate that before the recession, the total number of actors participating in the network played a larger role in the total number of incentives provided by cities as well as the use of tax incentives. This changed in 2009 when network type emerged as the important governance-based determinant of the same variables. The results also suggest that traditional theories of economic development do not hold during times of economic and fail to explain the use of planning and labour incentives.     

政治风险:成因、特征和治理——学习习近平总书记关于防范政治风险的重要论述

党的十八大特别是十九大以来,针对政治建设中存在的突出问题,习近平高瞻远瞩地提出防范政治风险重大命题。这一命题给我们科学把握政治风险的成因、特征和治理指明了方向。国内外发展环境蕴含着的不确定性,成为政治风险萌生的综合成因。政治风险属于非显性风险,具有隐蔽性、多源性、致命性和长期性特征,但政治风险并不等同于政治危机。如果治理得当,我们仍可把风险压力及时转化为发展动力。政治风险的治理关键要以制度建设为总抓手,不断推进风险治理现代化,实现政治权威、政治能力和政治活力的有机统一。习近平相关重要论述,为我们今后防范化解政治风险提供了基本原则和重要遵循。     

使基层协商民主更好的运转起来——观念更新、利益兼容与治理绩效累积的三位一体

经过长期的演化与发展,基层协商民主已经成为了地方治理中的常态,制度化的痕迹日渐明晰。然而,基层协商民主的实践存在着分化,差异在于制度化的程度,制度形成的规则是否成为了基层协商民主日常生活的一部分,成为生活习惯与生活方式。进一步理顺基层协商民主的内在联系,发挥基层协商民主的作用,拓宽基层协商民主的实践空间,需要回到基层协商民主成长的制度化路径,挖掘正式规则与非正式规则中的某些要素。因此,有必要建构基于价值导向、政策执行与结果绩效相统一的基层协商民主三位一体模型机制,强调观念更新、利益兼容、治理绩效累积是协商民主有效推进基层治理的结构性原因,使得基层协商民主更加有效地运转并朝着更加成熟定型的方向发展。     

新时代中国国家治理的六维认知

新时代中国国家治理现代化的学术研究经由党的十八届三中全会开题、十九大定调、十九届四中全会谋篇布局,三个历史节点高潮迭起,党的十九届五中全会的胜利召开则标志着中国国家治理研究进入了深化发展阶段。在时空压缩与双化叠加的大背景下,深入理解“中国之治”内生性演化的历史底色、创造性转化的时代新色、现代性生成的本体特色、原创性深化的价值本色、自主性优化的实践成色和发展性更化的战略亮色,有利于廓清和加深对中国国家治理现代化的基本理论认知,进一步深化治理研究和提升国家治理认知力,既是持续推进国家治理体系与治理能力现代化的内在规定,也是加速推动国家治理效能得到新提升的现实要求。     

Fostering political leadership for the demographic dividend in Africa: relevant cultural values

A foremost challenge to the realisation of the accelerated economic growth of the demographic dividend in Africa remains the commitment of the region’s political leadership to creating the enabling contexts to maximise the potential of its youthful population. This viewpoint considers three critical African cultural mores – the reverence-for-posterity norm; leader-as-community-proxy culture; and the elder tradition – that offer unique levers for fostering political leadership for the demographic dividend in Africa. Strategies for successfully tapping these cultural traditions require further research.     

Towards universal health coverage in Zambia: impediments and opportunities

Universal health coverage has been given a prominent place in the post-2015 global development agenda, but there are concerns over its feasibility in low- and middle-income countries. This article assesses successive Zambian governments’ efforts to achieve this agenda. We discuss the recent restructuring of health governance to support policies that re-emphasise the social determinants of health and health equity. This includes a new Ministry of Community Development and Mother and Child Health alongside the Ministry of Health. We argue that recent innovations in policy and practice need to be extended to include ministries which focus on economic development.     

Supporting farmer participation in formal seed systems: lessons from Tharaka,Kenya

This article examines contemporary challenges of formal seed sector participation for resource-poor farmers in Tharaka and engages in a wider discussion of national seed policy and formal seed sector development in Kenya. While many farmers reported utilising modern seed varieties developed by the formal seed sector, the majority of these were introduced through seed aid and maintained through seed saving, supporting seed system integration strategies. Building on these findings, the article discusses ways in which national seed policy in Kenya might be refined to better meet national and regional development goals focused on decreasing the incidence of hunger and poverty.     

试论跨国社会运动的特点及其对当代国际格局演变的影响

冷战之后迅速勃兴的新一轮跨国社会运动,出现了运动范围的全球化、社会诉求的多样性、组织形式的网络化以及运动目标的去革命化等特征,这些都与以往的跨国社会运动形成很大区别。更为重要的是,当代跨国社会运动通过不断地冲击着国家在国际格局中的垄断地位,推动非国家行为体走向全球治理的前台,促使国际格局向着多元化的方向不断发展,以及促进国际规范结构的重构而推动着当代国际格局的演变。
