经济全球化与发展中国家的金融安全

经济全球化加速了世界经济的发展和繁荣,并将继续影响21世纪世界经济和政治格局。在经济全球化进程中,发达国家由于在资金、技术和经济管理等方面占据绝对的优势地位,已成为经济全球化最早的和最主要的推动者,也是最大的受益者。而对发展中国家而言,经济全球化则是一把＂双刃剑＂,它既给发展中国家带来了千载难逢的机遇,也为其带来了严峻的挑战和困扰。本文从经济全球化产生的根源和特征出发,分析了经济全球化对世界经济特别是对发展中国家的影响。在此基础上,提出了我国融入经济全球化大潮的设想。

新公共管理的影响与发展中国家的善治

新公共管理强调政治中个人自由的重要性。发展中国家尤其是转型期国家的政府改革必须在实现公民自由和提高政府效能间达成平衡。新公共管理的理论内核———自由主义的某些方面与发展中国家尤其是转型期国家政府改革的目标的某些冲突可通过自由主义“权宜之计”来缓解。     

东盟国家间领土边界争端的成因及影响

二战后东盟国家之间大都存在着领土边界争端,其实这种争端主要有两种:一种是东盟国家之间的陆上疆界或岛屿主权的争端;另一种是东盟国家之间因海洋资源的获取、领海及大陆架疆界的划分问题而出现的争端.本文认为,东盟国家间所产生的这种领土边界争端的原因主要是"殖民主义的遗产"、历史纠葛和国家之间经济利益的争夺.这种争端不仅给东盟国家之间的关系造成不稳定的影响,而且也影响到东盟的安全协调体制.     

大陆法系国家陪审制度的渊源及特征分析

陪审制度最早源于古西腊时代的梭伦立法,英国被誉为现代陪审制之“母国”。大陆法系国家的陪审制度源于英国,但由于现实国情等因素,大陆法系国家又将移植于英国的陪审制度赋予了自己的特色。大陆法系国家陪审制度与英美法系的陪审团制相比,具有自己的特征:陪审员以个人身份参加案件的审理,陪审员与职业法官具有同等的职权,陪审员在诉讼过程中只参加法庭审理等。     

Institutional Actors in the Brazilian Amazon: Possibilities for NGO and Public Sector Collaboration in Rural Agriculture

Public sector institutions in Amazonian Brazil are experiencing structural reforms, budget cuts, and overburdened missions. Services needed to support appropriate resource use practices by rural farmers are gradually being provided by NGOs where the public sector has failed to provide them. But local NGOs are institutionally weak, and their activities are poorly coordinated with other regional service providers. This article analyzes three models for NGO organization and partnership that were designed outside of the Amazon region, and tests their applicability to the small-farming sector in Pará State in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. With some adaptation, these models can effectively help coordinate three overarching needs in the region: institutional strengthening, regional planning, and improving program effectiveness and efficiency.

African states in international organisations: A comparative analysis

The active participation in international organisations (IOs) is an important condition for the ability of states to exert influence over the content of international norms and rules. Thus, this paper adopts a comparative perspective and examines how active African states are in more than 500 international negotiations and under what conditions they are likely to remain silent. This reveals that diplomatic staff capacities are an essential precondition for active participation, while incentive structures, such as the scope of interests, impact how often states take the floor. An alternative to voicing national interest is to negotiate on behalf of regional organisations or regional groups. This paper shows that especially weaker and smaller African states benefit from regional group membership and use references to them in order to increase their leverage in international negotiations and improve, thereby, their chances to exert influence over the international architecture of rules and norms.     

General Trends and Causes of High Compensation of Government Managers in the OECD Countries

Government managers play a central role in the public administration of countries to support their overall efficiency. The compensation of central government senior managers has received considerable attention in recent years since it has risen in many countries. The public, the media and academia see government senior managers as being overpaid, with salaries increasing in a disproportionate and inequitable way. The literature has analyzed some possible determinants of this socio-administrative issue. However, the political and institutional factors affecting public managers’ compensation are still largely unknown. This study shows that the average compensation of central government senior managers in some OECD countries seems to be positively associated with the average salary of members of parliament (MPs). Furthermore, high compensation of public managers seems to be more frequent in countries with low freedom of expression, of association and of the media, as well as low quality of contract enforcement, property rights and control of corruption. These results may provide fruitful insights into the possible causes of this relation, to support reforms and best practices which can improve the efficiency of the public administration in modern economies.
