腐败与反腐败的文化维度——学习十七届六中全会《决定》

反腐败既是一场政治斗争,也是一场文化斗争;既要把腐败分子挖出来绳之以法,也要下大气力去改变那种"笑贫不笑贪"的腐败文化,在全体公民中营造廉洁光荣、腐败可耻的文化氛围。当前,我国反腐败斗争的一个突出难题在于,面对传统与现实的挑战,反腐倡廉的社会文化资源相当短缺。因此,加强廉政文化建设,将反腐败提升到反腐败文化的高度,是当前反腐败斗争中的一个重大基础性课题。     

腐败根源的深层理论探究

腐败是与权力相伴生的一种社会现象,权力与腐败有着深层次的关系,腐败是权力非公共运作的必然结果,权力主体的自利性、权力本身的可获利性及运作过程中的失控,是产生腐败的深层理论根源。     

民主监督:提高执政党执政能力的基础

Popular Interpretations of ‘Corruption’ and their Partisan Consequences

Using a large six-city exit poll from 2000, we examine popular judgments of what constitutes “political corruption” in the United States. We find two distinct evaluative dimensions: corruption understood as lawbreaking, and corruption as favoritism. These judgments are heavily conditioned by the voter’s socioeconomic background and are politically consequential. Subjective understandings of “corruption” shape perceptions of how much corruption actually exists in government. Furthermore, and more importantly, these normative assessments play a significant part in voting decisions. Individuals who judged illegal activities such as bribe-taking to be “corrupt” were more inclined to back one of the major party candidates in 2000; those who believed that favoritism in politics was “corrupt” (e.g., an official recommending an unemployed friend for a government job) were more likely to vote for Al Gore or Ralph Nader.     

Critical success factors for modernising public financial management information systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina

This article identifies a number of critical factors that have contributed to the successful implementation of a public financial management information system in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The information system, funded by USAID and implemented by Emerging Markets Group from 1999 to 2004, has revolutionised accounting practices and has contributed to a more transparent and effective public sector. This article describes the project's context and purpose, its main features, challenges and obstacles. It continues by outlining the critical success factors that have contributed to the success of the project in a challenging environment. The project was implemented in a rather unique environment since it was initiated not long after the end of the civil war and the creation of the Republic of BiH. The Republic of BiH inherited the former socialist Yugoslavian payment systems. There were no adequate public financial management systems in place, and the project team could essentially start from scratch. The project team designed and implemented an accrual accounting system, and unlike the situation in many countries, relieved the government from having to transform their financial management system from cash‐based accounting to accrual accounting.

试论中国腐败产生的根源及其遏制

中国腐败产生的具体原因是新旧体制转轨,市场机制不完善;相应的法律法规建设滞后及执法中存在问题;权力缺乏有效的监督与制约。强化对权力的制约、规范公共权力的运作是遏制腐败、加强廉政建设的根本途径。     

反腐败必须加强廉政文化建设

反腐败,既是一场政治斗争,也是一场文化斗争。当前,我国反腐败斗争的一个突出难题在于,面对传统与现实的挑战,反腐倡廉的社会文化资源相当短缺。因此,加强廉政文化建设,是新世纪我国反腐败斗争的一个重大的基础性课题。     

腐败概念的泛化与界定

分析腐败概念的传统内涵及其演变是研究腐败概念泛化的前提。腐败概念的泛化是指腐败内涵模糊化、腐败外延扩大化,其具有一定的危害,应在权力的视角下重新界定腐败的概念及其基本内涵。
