Graduation and Deepening: An Ambitious Post-2012 Climate Policy Scenario

In the second commitment period 2013–2017, the Kyoto Protocol structure is strengthened considerably. The current Annex B countries agree to reduction targets averaging 23% reductions from 1990 level. This induces non-Annex B countries to take up emissions targets according to a multi-tiered graduation system. Graduation is undertaken according to thresholds defined by per capita GDP and emissions. Compared to the current Annex B, coverage of emissions by absolute caps would increase by about 25%; large low-income countries such as India and China do not graduate. Therefore, large emitters above 50 million t. p.a. can utilise a policy-based Clean Development Mechanism. Sinks of all types – terrestrial, marine and geological can be used. To achieve this policy scenario, voter pressure due to extreme meteorological events and a coordination of all progressive forces in the international climate negotiations are necessary. Moreover, a judicious combination of carrots and sticks has to be developed to entice Non-Annex B countries to graduate.

农村公共产品多元合作供给绩效的影响因素

农村公共产品供给绩效一直不高,农村公共产品的多元合作供给方式并没有根本缓解农村公共产品的供需矛盾。改善农村公共产品多元合作供给绩效的首要问题就是剖析其影响因素,探索促进合作关系顺利、稳定运行的因素和措施。针对此问题,文章在界定农村公共产品多元合作供给及供给绩效的基础上,以农村公共产品多元合作供给关系的演进过程为切入点,探讨如何促进合作关系的演进,并从中提炼能够形成稳定的合作关系、改善多元合作供给绩效的要素和路径,最后提出能够保证农村公共产品多元合作供给绩效实现的对策建议,以期为农村公共产品供给实践提供理论参考。     

浅析中国公共文化服务理论研究中存在的问题

作为一种新生的理论,中国的公共文化服务理论研究刚刚起步,在当前国内的公共文化服务理论构建中,还存在一些问题,主要表现在:地方性的个案研究较多,系统性的宏观理论研究较少;国内公共文化服务理论的研究水平明显落后于公共文化服务的建设实践;西方成熟文化理论与中国公共文化建设实践的初级阶段存在某种程度的不对称等。面对这些问题,在今后的研究中,应更加注重本土化研究和系统性研究。     

风险社会中刑事司法程序若干问题的思考

在风险社会中,科技发展也促进了犯罪形势的变化,刑法理论在某些方面已经作了一定改变。基于刑事一体化的考虑,刑事司法程序也应作出相应变化。“9·11”事件对传统刑事司法程序理念冲击很大,刑事程序中科技证据的运用和刑事公益诉讼的完善,应引起一定的关注。     

后现代、刑事和解及公共政策

＂后现代＂是对肇始于启蒙时代,以总体性思维和理性主义为标志的＂现代＂的反思和反动。刑事和解则是多元视角中的一种平等对话机制,和后现代有着天然的联系。后现代以公共政策为中介,对刑事和解进行自我限以求在国家刑法主导,刑罚在场的情况下实现和解目标。中国刑法应当认真面对后现代思潮,使刑法呈现出人文学科应有的风貌,并积极促进刑法理论变革以回应社会实践之需要。     

循环经济法视野下公众参与机制及其保障

公众参与推动循环经济发展是一个诱致性制度变迁过程。循环经济法视野下公众参与机制的基本要素有三个方面：公民参与的环境权;政府公开有关资源环境和生态的信息;健全的非政府组织。根据循环经济公众参与机制的基本要素和当前我国循环经济公众参与的现状与不足,从确保公民可实施的环境权、扩大循环经济信息的“公开性”及“透明度”、促进非政府组织参与资源环境及生态管理、优化公众参与的平台和程序等方面构建了公众参与循环经济的支持保障机制。     

论公共危机管理中的公民参与

目前,我国政府公共危机管理中的公民参与处于较低水平、面临许多困境,因此,应该通过多种途径扩大公民有序参与公共危机管理的渠道,规范公民有序参与公共危机管理的行为,最终形成政府与公民、媒体、非政府组织等等良性互动的合作模式,最大限度地降低公共危机事件造成的损害。     

Community acceptance of recycled water: can we inoculate the public against scare campaigns?

Without improved water resource management, it is predicted that water shortages will affect two‐thirds of humanity by 2025. One solution that has traditionally faced fierce public resistance is recycled waste water. This study investigates the extent to which public communication strategies can influence community acceptance of recycled water, using the framework of Inoculation Theory. A four‐phase experimental design was conducted. Participants completed an initial questionnaire and were then randomly assigned to a control group, a manipulation check group or a treatment group. A final follow‐up survey measured changes in the dependent variable: stated likelihood of using recycled water for different uses. Results indicate that communication strategies based on Inoculation Theory are limited in their effectiveness for this product category. Findings do, however, identify a clear recency effect, indicating that continuous public communications are key to ensuring that community scare campaigns do not prevent implementation of water augmentation projects. This study differs from previous applications of Inoculation Theory because of the challenges associated with marketing a monopoly commodity, which is a necessity to support life. This empirical study uses fictional marketing stimuli to test the theory in a context, which is growing in global importance. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
