县域政府治理绩效的实证研究：公众满意度的视角--基于佛山市 A 区的治理实践

以佛山市 A 区为个案,对如何测量中国县（区）层级的政府治理绩效进行实证探索。在借鉴世界治理指标（WGI)的基础上,构建了一个本土化的地方政府治理绩效指标体系,对 A 区政府的治理绩效水平进行量化评估,并且通过构建一个多元回归模型深入挖掘影响其总体治理水平的相关因素。结果表明：公众对于 A 区政府的总体治理水平处于“一般”到“比较满意”之间;在六个维度的治理绩效中,公众满意度最低的是“腐败控制”和“法治”,最高的是“政府稳定和暴力避免”和“政府有效性”;除了“管制质量”和“政府稳定与暴力避免”之外,其他四个维度的治理绩效对 A 区政府的总体治理水平都具有显著影响,其中,“政府有效性”对总体治理水平的影响最大。     

State as resource,mediator and performer: understanding the local and global politics of gold mining in Kyrgyzstan

The inability of the state to maintain security and the rule of law for the purposes of foreign direct investment and industrial production is often taken as a sign of its weakness. However, such judgments say little about the actual functions of the state for global extraction industries and local political forces which demand their share of the pie. Whilst coercive state power may have decreased since Kyrgyzstan became independent, more important is the fact that the state itself has been transformed under the ruptures of, on the one hand, economic and political liberalization and, on the other, the effects of so-called ‘revolutions' of 2005 and 2010 which led to the wholesale restructuring of national structures of clientelism. Based on ethnographic research conducted in Talas province, documentary sources and interviews with gold mining companies and state officials, the paper investigates the state's shifting roles with respect to Kyrgyzstan's gold mining sector. Firstly, it explores the state as a source of rents for officials who grant and rescind licences in exchange for formal and informal payments from foreign investors, often via offshore vehicles. Secondly, it considers the role of the state as mediator between foreign investors and their access to sites. Finally, it identifies the state as performer of its status as sovereign power despite its inability to prevent uprisings and actually guarantee the promised access to its territory.     

Global Astana: nation branding as a legitimization tool for authoritarian regimes

This paper examines how, in post-Soviet Kazakhstan, both channels of elite and banal nationalism (such as sports and higher education) serve as instruments to promote the country. Through these channels, Kazakhstan is portrayed as an open, dynamic and successful country, an image which is in serious disjuncture with the authoritarian nature of the regime. Taking advantage of massive oil revenues, the government organized a significant OSCE general conference in 2010, while chairing the institution. In addition, it created the Astana professional cycling team, which rapidly became a world leader in the sport. Last but not least, Nazarbayev University, attracting prominent Western scholars, is now designed to make the country compete in the international arena of academic rankings. Domestic and international performances are thus treated as instruments to promote the legitimacy of the state at national and global levels. But this would not be possible without the help of individual actors who actively participate in this process. A close investigation shows that their social capital is based on global connections in various spheres (sports, finance and academia). This paper draws on evidence gathered through qualitative methods of enquiry (participant observation and semi-structured interviews). Finally, Astana is treated as a Latourian actor-network that has its own life and agency, thanks to the global association of various human actors and material objects.

从绩效问责到宏观调控工具--2003-2014年国外政府绩效评估综述

尽管绩效评估在我国各级政府中逐渐成为日常性管理制度,但无论实践界还是理论界都还在利用西方20多年前的旧知识来解决新问题。通过客观德尔菲法对 Web-of-Science 数据库中2003-2014年间的317篇政府绩效评估文献进行“硬聚类”,发现国外近十年政府绩效评估的新规律在于：努力对政府的具体部门进行“体检”式绩效评估,诊断每项具体工作的实际绩效状况;利用“体检结果”促进政府问责进程;对政府绩效“病症”寻找“致病”诱因,试图将高绩效政府当作带动整个社会发展的“政策杠杆”来推动国家走出发展低迷;在大数据时代中将信息当作提升政府绩效的“非物质文化”因素,同时认为信息本身就意味着绩效。     

抽象危险犯的扩张限缩与刑法谦抑性——兼评《刑法修正案(八)》的抽象危险犯立法

《刑法修正案(八)》将危险驾驶罪和生产销售假药罪规定为抽象危险犯,反映了风险社会下刑罚早期化的趋势,与刑法谦抑性发生一定的冲突。应当肯定修正案对抽象危险犯的扩张具有一定的合理性,但其扩张并非无边无界,为防止其过分扩张需要从立法论和解释论两方面对其施加一定的限缩。
