Smart and secure borders through automated border control systems in the EU? The views of political stakeholders in the Member States

The European Commission launched the “Smart Borders” policy process in 2011 to enhance border security in the European Union (EU) using technologisation and harmonisation. This includes the use of automated border control (ABC) systems. The Member States crucially shape the process, weighing security technologies and costs, privacy and rights, and further institutional choices. We examine the views of political stakeholders in four Member States by conducting a systematic empirical and comparative study unprecedented in the existing, political-theory-inspired research. In our Q methodological experiments, political stakeholders in Finland, Romania, Spain and the UK rank-ordered a sample of statements on Smart Borders, ABC and harmonisation. The factor analysis of the results yielded three main views: the first criticising ABC as a security technology, the second welcoming the security gains of automation and the third opposing harmonised border control. While impeding harmonisation, the results offer a consensus facilitating common policy.     

论WTO决策机制

WTO的决策机制是指WTO对有关事项诸如条文的解释、修改、义务的豁免以及接受新成员、贸易争端的解决等作出决定的机制。WTO的决策机制十分重要,因为它直接涉及到与这些事项相关的各成员的权利与义务。从WTO决策机制与国家主权、协商一致机制和投票表决机制三个方面进行了分析,并指出了WTO决策机制的缺陷与不足,旨在为WTO决策机制的改进与完善作出努力。     

论我国核心预算机构之构建

整个预算过程中,在行政机关内部确立核心的预算机构,对预算编制和预算执行具有重要意义。应当重视非行政机关预算案的编制问题,应将财政体制改革提升到政治体制改革的高度,整合财政部和国家发改委的职能,确立起核心预算机构,实现预算过程与政策过程的统一,保证预算权力运转的统一性、权威性,推动预算法治的实现。     

公司共同决策法律制度研究——以“职工满意度”为视角

职工参与共同决策是公司资本民主化和管理民主化的主要实现途径,起源于德国共同体文化的这一制度旨在保护职工权益、协调企业中劳资关系.寻找两者利益的平衡点,通过对不同企业的探索性调研,借助职工满意评价工具分析共同决策制度实施与职工满意之间的联系,探索我国公司法共同决策制度的引入模式.     

政府决策失误的责任追究探讨

政府决策是政府行使国家管理职能的有效工具和手段,它在国家政治、经济、文化、外交领域发挥着巨大的作用。然而“政府决策失误”一旦酿成,轻则会给国家和人民造成重大财产损失,重则会造成人员伤亡。有权力即有责任,问责“政府决策失误”是建立责任政府和构建和谐社会的必然要求。     

刑事政策与刑法适用

广义刑事政策并不限于直接以防止犯罪为目的的刑罚制度,还包括间接的与预防犯罪相关的各种社会政策,区分为刑事惩罚政策和社会预防政策两项基本内容.刑事政策有很强的实践性、具体性和精确性,表现为一种具体的公共决策;作为一个开放性的有机整体,刑事政策是一个预防和控制犯罪的系统,因此,应具备一体化思想.     

紧急状态下的公安行政决策

紧急状态下的公安行政决策不具备常规决策的基本条件。在这类决策中 ,决策者应着重考虑“解决问题的可能性”及“事态的急迫性”两个因素。由于决策者面临的决策要素的“初始”状态不同 ,可能选择的决策策略也不同。在公安紧急决策中 ,决策者要根据决策要素的变化随时更改自己的策略选择以求得理性地实现决策目标。     

Examining the Construct Validity of the Original and Revised JBS: A Cross-Validation of Sample and Method

Factor analysis is a statistical technique that can provide an understanding of construct validity. Previous research examining the factor structure of the Juror Bias Scale (JBS) has uncovered problems in the scale's assessment of the constructs of probability of commission (PC) and reasonable doubt (RD). We here reevaluate the scale's constructs to better our understanding of the pretrial biases involved in the juror decision-making process. Importantly, previous findings have been limited to college student samples and trial material that has involved rape evidence. This study examines the construct validity of the JBS in a sample of 617 jury-eligible adults drawn from the community, and the predictive validity of the JBS is examined across 3 distinct trial scenarios. The results parallel earlier findings, indicating that although RD is a tenable and useful construct affecting juror decision-making, PC may be a less relevant pretrial bias. We therefore suggest that future research emphasize alternative constructs, such as confidence and cynicism in the criminal justice system.     

宏观调控权配置原则论

宏观调控权的配置事关宏观调控的效果。要合理配置宏观调控权,就必须确定宏观调控权配置的原则。宏观调控权的配置包括横向配置与纵向配置。横向配置指宏观调控权在中央国家机关之间的分配;纵向配置指宏观调控权在中央与地方国家机关之间的分配。由于宏观调控是事关国民经济全局性的重大事务,因此,宏观调控决策权的配置应实行集权原则,由中央国家机关独享;而宏观调控执行权的配置应实行分权原则,由中央政府与地方省级政府在各自的职能范围内分享。
