Measuring and managing ‘state fragility’: the production of statistics by the World Bank,Timor-Leste and the g7+

Indicators are currently being widely used in international policy making to substantiate analyses and justify decisions on the basis of their alleged scientific objectivity. This article analyses the role of indicators and statistics in the labelling and managing of ‘fragile states’, examining the powerful consequences of these classifications but also discussing the untraceable nature of numbers and the difficulties in attributing ownership of numerical claims and assigning responsibility for their many unforeseen impacts. Focusing on the education sector in Timor-Leste and on the World Bank’s Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (cpia) programme, the article shows how accountability and ownership are negotiated within the context of the g7+ group of self-labelled ‘fragile states’, encouraging an examination of the power relations involved.     

Intellectual Property Counterfeiting and Piracy – Response of Small Commonwealth Jurisdictions∗

This article provides an analysis of some recent developments relating to Constitutional law in Jamaica, including the legal issues arising from tied elections and the dual nationality of parliamentarians. It also discusses a case relating to the failure to incorporate the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime (the Palermo Convention). In this case, though the Palermo Convention contemplates investigations by agents of one country on the territory of another for certain crimes, one state party found it was unable to carry out such investigations on the territory of another. Although the latter country, a CARICOM member state, was also a party to the Convention, it had not enacted the required implementing legislation     

What can a party say? How parties' communication can influence voters' issue ownership perceptions

Research has documented that issue ownership is an important aspect of voter behaviour. Therefore, issue ownership is an important asset for parties and one that they might try to improve on in order to enhance their electoral chances. Using survey experiments on a representative sample of Danish voters, the paper investigates what messages a party can convey to voters in order to improve its issue ownership – communicating its emphasis on the issue, its position on the issue, its links to the issue constituency, or its performance on the issue – across both valence and position issues. The results show the effectiveness of the latter two communication strategies thereby documenting that parties through their communication may affect voters' perceptions of their issue handling competencies.     

Issues of local ownership in Kosovo’s security sector

Local ownership represents an overarching concept in international development. However, its core principles have been occasionally neglected in the practice of state-building such as in the case of Kosovo. This paper explores relations between the international community and local actors in the process of Kosovo security sector development after 2008, when the country declared its independence. This article finds that externally-driven models were imposed in some phases of security sector development. The actions of the international community disregarded the local context and created distrust by the local actors. The study relies on extensive face-to-face interviews with relevant national and international stakeholders, a public opinion survey with a sample of 1102 respondents, focus group and personal observation.     

西北干旱地区农村集蓄雨水的所有权困境及路径分析

西北干旱地区缺乏地下水和地表水资源,降水资源不丰富并且年分布不均,所以把有限的降水集蓄起来加以有效利用就成为解决当地农民生产和生活用水的重要途径和手段。实践中通过集蓄利用雨水已取得了显著成效。现实中已经出现了集蓄雨水的买卖问题,尽快明确这部分水的所有权性质已经成为当务之急。然而,对集蓄雨水所有权主体归属及集蓄雨水工程的所有权主体界定等一系列问题在学术界和法律实务中却较少关注,如果不能很好地解决这些问题,将会影响甚至阻碍西部干旱地区农村集蓄雨水工作的进一步发展。     

“公司多边治理“质疑——兼论“公司利益相关者论“之法理缺陷

"公司利益相关者论"自传入我国后,对我国公司治理理论产生了较大影响,有学者在其基础上提出了"公司多边治理"的概念,用以重塑我国公司治理结构.然而,因缺乏相应的法理学基础以及在市场经济中的不可行性,目前把"多边治理"引入我国公司治理领域非但不能促进公司长远发展和保护社会利益,结果只能是适得其反.     

土地租赁论

土地所有权与使用权的分离已成为事实,但如何有偿取得土地使用权?依《土地管理法实施条例》第29条规定,分为土地使用权出让、土地租赁、作价出资或者入股三种方式。实践中往往采取以土地使用权出让为主,土地租赁为辅的模式,但是从土地使用权出让理论的形成历史以及其他国家的法律规定来看,土地使用权出让就是土地租赁,我国应在今后的立法中抛弃土地使用权出让的理论,采用土地出租的理论,避免重复立法。
