以构筑公平正义的劳动关系为着力点推动和谐社会建设

和谐社会构建的主要基础之一,是劳动关系的和谐。工会在构建和谐劳动关系过程中,具有重要作用,其基本途径是在协调劳动关系、解决其矛盾中,坚持公平和正义的原则。要以“发展为先,职工为本,基层为重,创新为魂”作为工会工作的理念。     

非正规就业中的劳动关系和工会工作研究

劳动关系的复杂性、多元性、不稳定性和非规范性是影响非正规就业发展和开展工会工作的一个重要因素。对非正规就业中劳动关系的调整,应从实际出发,采取分类完善的办法,从多方面加强对非正规就业者劳动权益的保护。同时,工会应通过制度创新,吸收非正规就业者加入工会,同时针对非正规就业的特点,开展有效工作,保护非正规就业中的劳动者的权益。     

加强基层工会经费管理工作

经费是工会工作运转的生命线,是工会赖依生存和发展的基础,只有做好基层会费收支管理工作,才能保证工会工作的正常运转。     

论我国NGO发展对工会困难职工帮扶工作的影响

近年来我国NGO(尤其是慈善公益类NGO)的蓬勃发展,为社会慈善公益事业的繁荣搭建起有利的平台。而我国工会工作在经济体制转型和国企改革进一步深化的环境下遇到了新的挑战———如何加强困难职工群体的帮扶工作这一现实问题。在现阶段,要解决这一问题,工会在依靠政府支持和自身发展的同时,应该从更加广阔的社会领域中去寻求资源和帮助。而其中的关键就在于要加强工会与NGO(尤其是慈善公益类NGO)的良性互动和合作。

工会学理论的最新发展——全国工会学研究会、中国工人历史与现状研究会2006年年会综述

从法律实施的角度来看,劳动合同法需要基层工会的配合与支持。和谐社会的建设离不开和谐劳动关系的建立,和谐劳动关系的建立同样也需要基层工会的大力支持。工会工作者要坚持以理论创新推动工会工作创新,要坚持走有中国特色的社会主义工会道路。     

守法成本及其控制

守法是法律实施的首要环节,守法程度对国家立法与法律实施有着重要的说明意义.守法行为中的成本支出决定着组织和个人在是否守法问题上的行为选择.从成本支出的视角看,如果把守法看作一项法律义务和法律行为,根据权利义务平等的原则,其中存在着相应的国家义务.立法和相关的制度设计、乃至组织执法过程中,应当充分关注守法与守法成本之间的"反比例关系",通过降低守法成本促进我国的法制建设,推动法治进程.     

Origins and evolution of Maoism in Argentina, 1968–1971

An apparently strange phenomenon in the history of ideas, Maoism was the only new ideological current to emerge in the western Hemisphere after the Second World War. With constant references to popular China, but situated in a local context, Maoism developed as a unique ideology with a particular physiognomy that was forged in the sphere of the political left. In Argentina, the principle organisations that represented it – the Communist Vanguard and the Revolutionary Communist Party – were deeply involved in the class struggles of the industrial proletariat of Córdoba. Following an explication of our understanding of the role of political ideas in labour struggles through the work of the Chilean historical sociologist Tomás Moulian, we describe two foundational phases for these parties: the organisational and ideological. We situate these in the broader context of both the historical development of the working class in Córdoba and the explosive moments of Cordobazo. From here, we assess the tensions and contradictions in these phases and discuss the impact on their efforts to become the ‘vanguard’ party of the working class, thereby showing the importance of tracing the origins and evolution of Maoism for understanding the radical labour history of Córdoba.     

Cost of ruling as a game of tones: The accumulation of bad news and incumbents’ vote loss

An extensive body of research documents how governing parties generally suffer electoral defeats. Varying explanations have been offered, most of which touch upon the liabilities of policy responsibility. Although media coverage is generally acknowledged as one of these liabilities, few empirical studies have examined how news content affect government support. Based on the fact that voters get their information about politics, policies and societal issues from the media, this article studies how the constant stream of negative news influences incumbent support over a 20-year period in Denmark. Modeling a previously untested argument on the cost of ruling, it shows that the accumulation of bad news throughout tenure exerts a substantial effect on government support.     

Promoting customer engagement: A new trend in utility regulation

This paper traces a new development in regulation that encourages utilities to engage more directly with their customers. We make four contributions: First, we perform a comprehensive analysis of how regulators are using customer engagement, and offer a simple model for understanding different customer engagement initiatives. Second, we review assessments of customer engagement. We find that there are no quantitative, empirically robust assessments of the effectiveness of customer engagement as a regulatory tool. Third, we develop two detailed case studies of an energy regulator and a water regulator that are in the forefront of customer engagement efforts. We find that there is no direct link between the engagement strategy used and the economic incentives received by a firm. Finally, we propose a framework for improving the customer engagement process. The new framework relies on microeconomics, modern tools of program evaluation, and supplying the regulated firm with direct incentives to engage with the customer.
