Asylum,welfare and civil society: a case study in civil repair

This paper examines a civil society challenge to UK government legislation withdrawing welfare support from asylum seekers who do not claim on entry to the country. Drawing on the work of Habermas and Alexander, it considers the role of the courts as a deliberative space and elaborates the scope for civil repair in the case of a group rendered marginal by the law. In so doing, it also suggests how links could be made with the broadened conception of citizenship proposed by Isin and Turner.     

中国化妆品动物试验立法完善——与欧盟立法比较

对化妆品进行安全性评价及数据分析，离不开动物试验。欧盟最早通过立法规范化妆品动物试验，对他国相关立法具有重要的指导和借鉴意义。中国作为世界第三大化妆品市场，如果不禁止化妆品动物试验，不仅将面临化妆品动物福利贸易壁垒，而且无法进口未经动物试验的化妆品。中国应通过立法鼓励化妆品生产商使用动物“替代方法”研发新产品，并逐步禁止化妆品动物试验。     

论西方福利法治国的成因

福利法治国在西方的产生与发展,既有深刻的历史根源、社会背景和经济动因,又是各种社会思潮、政治经济学说的兴起与争鸣所致;既有战争及偶然性因素的推动,又是市场经济发展到一定阶段的必然结果;既受国际关系和世界格局变化的影响,又经各国具体情况、文化传统等个性因素的塑造。其中,不容忽视的是,市场失灵是福利国产生的社会背景,建构论理性主义是福利国产生的知识困境,而民主的悖论则是其发生的制度原因。上述综合因素长期发酵、整合的结果导致了现代福利国家如牛负重、危机四伏。     

德国家政服务法律制度研究

随着我国经济社会的持续发展,家政服务已然发展成为了一个蓬勃的产业。但是,调整家政服务的法律制度却凤毛麟角,法学理论界也少有对此问题的深入分析。德国作为世界上最发达国家之一,其在劳动法律制度方面享有盛誉,因此对于德国有关家政服务法律制度进行综合考察应该是能够为我国建立一套科学的家政服务法律制度提供借鉴经验的。     

经济发达地区福利结构差异的政治经济分析——以辽宁、浙江和广东三省为例

1994年中国分税制改革后不同区域的福利水平和福利模式逐渐趋异。例如,辽宁省在财政支出中社会保障类福利支出较高而教育类福利支出较低,浙江省的教育福利类支出较高而社会保障类支出较低,广东省对于这两类福利支出的比例都偏低。福利支出结构的差异源自于这三个省份不同的经济发展模式和政商关系。作为理性行为者的地方官员,为了推进地区GDP(晋升指标)增长和扩大税收,会在福利支出的结构上跟随当地主体类型企业的福利偏好。     

市场经济条件下社会福利的定位、改革与发展探究

在社会、宏观经济结构发生变动的情况下,我国社会福利制度面临结构性调整,目标、性质、功能、内容有待重新定位,“社区福利”、“混合福利”已经显现。作者在文中提出了社会福利层次论,现实的选择应在中观层次推行福利制度建设、实现制度整合,寻求政府行为与市场行为的均衡点,建立“两权分离、管办分开、法人办理、竞争经营”的新福利事业体制。     

Economic Reform and Social Change in China: Past, Present, and Future of the Economic State

China's socioeconomic crisis before 1978 and its success over the past two decades can be viewed as a zigzag process of politicization and depoliticization of the economic state. By summarizing the Chinese experience, this article shows the importance of a specific pattern of general public policy (GPP) in determining the nature of a policy system. China's economic and serialized reforms since 1978 are reviewed in order to illuminate the current situation and future direction of the nation. The changes have undermined the economic state by creating a trend of de-economicization in the Chinese government. If economic reform and social change are to continue smoothly, another transfer of state emphasis to more balanced development is required.     

关于我国公共管理体系建设进程中经济公益诉讼问题的思考

建立健全以公民权利为本位的社会主义民主法制制度是建设公开、公平、公正、透明的公共管理体系的必由之路。随着市场经济的快速发展,与社会公共利益密切相关的经济法纠纷案件日趋复杂,引入经济公益诉讼制度,不仅可以从理论上对社会主义民主法制制度予以完善,而且具有重大的实践意义。本文从经济公益诉讼的启动主体、适案范围、配套保障措施方面提出了关于构建我国经济公益诉讼制度的几点设想。     

The wage share and government job creation in Sweden, 1900–2016

ABSTRACT

This investigation explores the long-run relationship between the wage share in the non-construction private sector and government efforts to create jobs in public services and construction of infrastructure and houses, in Sweden in 1900 to 2016. In the present article, it is argued that the creation of employment with generous wages by the Swedish government has increased the bargaining power of workers outside of these sectors, thus raising the wage share, up to about 1980. Correspondingly, retrenchment from such policy has been detrimental for the wage share in recent decades. This argument is supported by the results of cointegration tests, estimation of long-run and short-run, speed of adjustment, coefficients, as well as by Impulse-response functions. While government consumption is often found to be an important determinant for the wage share, earlier research has neglected the full labor market effect of government job creation associated with an expansion of the welfare state. Sweden is an ideal case for studying the impact of welfare policy on the wage share, since it has been one of the most extensive welfare states and simultaneously has been one of the most egalitarian countries in the world.
