“We really don’t want to move,but...”: identity and strategy in the internationalisation of industrial R&;D

In Norway, as in many other high-cost OECD countries in a geographical and cultural periphery, policy-makers seem to have given up attempts at attracting large numbers of foreign R&D investments. Instead, a major focus of innovation policies is to help companies internationalise yet with an aim to maintain or even increase their level of R&D and other innovation activities nationally. Based on case studies of eight Norwegian companies and their motives for and experiences with internationalisation of R&D, this article questions this policy. From the perspective of the companies, many factors explain how, why and where they carry out their R&D activities.      

From British subjects to Australian values: a citizenship-building approach to Australia–Asia relations

Australia–Asia relations are inextricably bound up with the development of notions of statehood and citizenship. The argument advanced here is that the way a state acts within the international community markedly determines how it relates to its own citizens. Here we suggest that the continuing and politically resonant idea of Australia as a ‘middle power’ is a crucial thread that links the international and national dimensions of citizenship building. From the very beginning of Federation, the contingent sovereignty of the new Australian Commonwealth in the imperial order became necessarily entangled with debate over national political institutions and citizenship building. Long after the end of the British Empire, the notion of middle power politics has determined the nature and shape of citizenship building. These statecraft projects of ‘citizenship building’ are profoundly shaped, determined and reinforced by the institutions and policies of regional engagement. We explore this framework through three critical junctures of domestic and external policy: 1. the emergence of dominion status on the basis of a common racial and cultural identity within the empire in the first half of the century;

2. the developing notion of a good international citizen during the Hawke and Keating period;

3. the invocation of Australian values by John Howard.

     

群体性纠纷的构成与法院司法政策的选择

就中国法院处理群体性纠纷的司法政策，学界存在大相径庭的评价。通过观察我国当前群体性纠纷的构成，可以发现，我国群体性纠纷呈现明显的多元化特征，各类纠纷对于纠纷处理机制的要求和对法院的挑战也不同。而无论是法院现行司法政策的设计还是学者对此种司法政策的批评，莫不体现了一种一元化的思维方式。在未来的制度建设和理论研究当中，需要摈弃这种思维方式，倡导一种“类型化处理”的思路。     

我国高校学生权利探讨

在我国高等教育实行成本补偿政策后，高校内部管理行为开始进入司法审查的视野。坚持依法治校、依法执教、完善高校管理、保护学生合法权利已成为社会关注的热点，也成为高校亟待解决的问题。高校学生的权利应包括：公法上的权利和私法上的权利。     

发挥各级行政学院在公务员培训中的主阵地作用——关于贯彻落实《公务员法》的思考

根据《公务员法》的有关规定“专门的公务员培训机构”就是各级行政学院，我国省以下的各级行政学院（学校）均是挂靠各级党校，而各级党校历来就是培训、轮训各级干部的权威教育机构，各级行政学院（学校）无论在权威性方面，还是在师资、设备、培训成本等方面，都是最具优势的公务员培训机构。     

论公用企业滥用垄断力行为

随着人民生活水平的提高和社会经济的迅猛发展,公用企业在向社会提供服务过程中存在的诸多问题越来越受到人们的关注,其中倍受争议的就是公用企业滥用垄断力问题。对公用企业垄断力的获得方式以及公用企业滥用垄断力行为的内含、特征、主要表现形式及其危害性的认识,是正确判断和有效规制该种行为的重要前提。     

论公安边防部队领导干部问责制的完善

公安边防部队领导干部问责以提高领导干部的责任意识和法治意识、预防事故为目标,已逐渐走上了法制化轨道,它相对于地方党政领导干部问责制有其特殊之处。因而有必要在借鉴地方党政领导干部问责制相关研究的同时,根据公安边防部队自身特点寻找出更为合适的完善措施。     

科学发展观与公共财政

科学发展观是我国政府的一种执政理念和施政原则。公共财政是政府的分配行为，其直接体现了政府的意志。科学安排公共财政是落实、支撑与强化政府科学发展观的直接体现。因此，探讨科学发展观问题，从财政角度进行分析是非常必要的。本文在对公共财政基本内涵进行阐述之后，分析了科学发展观与公共财政之间的关系，最后就如何运用科学发展观统领公共财政提出了几点建议。     

行政伦理价值向度的校正

行政伦理的内在价值向度对于公共行政的实施以及行政文明的发展和行政体制的改革都具有重要的导向、规范、激励乃至终极眷注的作用,已成为行政伦理建设中一个带有根本性的重要课题。以往关于行政伦理价值向度的观点,或者局限于公共行政的工具价值,或者偏重于某一单一的价值原则,使得公共行政或者失去理性价值,或者局限于片面价值。因此,只有构建多维的行政伦理价值体系,才能保证公共行政的科学合理。     

试论登记的效力——从一起财产分割案件谈起

登记的效力,外国立法例有登记要件主义、登记对抗主义和托伦斯登记制度三种不同观点。登记是物权变动的要件,具有公示、公信和警示作用。我国法律采取了登记要件主义,但对于登记的范围应加以具体规定。物权变动应与原因行为相区别。动产登记采登记对抗主义。
