农业税取消后的县乡政府改革与政府管理创新

取消农业税是落实科学发展观和正确政绩观,构建信用政府、亲民爱政府和有限责任政府的具体举措,是维护农村社会稳定的客观要求。要逐步拆并、整合现有县(区、市)乡(镇),合理配置机构、规范职能。循序渐进,稳妥实施,从减少人员编制,精简机构,提供动力机制和补偿保障机制着手,转变职能、理顺管理体制。     

Transparenz und Kontrolle bei related party transactions: Verträge der Gesellschaft mit ihrem Aufsichtsratsmitglied

Gesch?fte der Gesellschaft mit einem Aufsichtsratsmitglied müssen dem Aufsichtsrat vorgelegt werden und bedürfen seiner Zustimmung. Damit sollen Interessenkonflikte vermieden und Transparenz hergestellt werden. Der Beitrag geht folgenden Fragen nach: Wen trifft die Pflicht zur Information? Wie genau ist der Aufsichtsrat über diese Gesch?fte zu informieren? Welche Stimmverbote bestehen? Welche Konsequenzen k?nnen sich daraus für die Beschlussf?higkeit ergeben? Welche Rechtsfolgen l?st die Nichtbeachtung der gesetzlichen Anforderungen aus? Schlie?lich wird die nicht ausreichend geregelte Situation der Arbeitnehmervertreter untersucht.     

Capacity builders for governance: community-driven reconstruction in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

Community-driven reconstruction (CDR) has become a new paradigm in post-conflict development. It combines infrastructure restoration with introducing good governance at the local level. Recent evaluations show that governance objectives are not easily met and significant change cannot be demonstrated. This paper adds to this argument on the basis of ethnographic research on a CDR programme in eastern DRC. It seeks to find explanations for the lack of demonstrable governance impact in the content and implementation of training. It identifies room for improvement by better adjusting capacity building to locally prevailing accountability mechanisms and by coordinating capacity building with other development programmes.     

司法审级中的信息、组织与治理——从中国传统司法的“上控”与“审转”切入

尽管从表面上看,中国传统司法审级中的上控与审转违反了上诉审的经济学原理,但本文的分析表明,这两种制度的出现实际上来源于古典司法复审的政治治理功能,并且在事实上构成了一种有效率的信息机制与组织替代,回应了古代社会低成本地获取地方治理信息的难题。但这些理论上合理的制度在实际的运行中也产生了许多问题,并且一直存在于当下中国的审级制度之中,其根本的解决进路只能是在国家能力建设基础上超越科层化的制度分工与审级分工。     

Pro-poor budget analysis of Kenya's free primary education policy

This practical note outlines Concern's approach to pro-poor budget analysis using the case of the Kenya Free Primary Education (FPE) policy. Analysis conducted on the outcomes of the FPE policy for Nairobi's urban slum-based poor suggests that the policy is not being implemented evenly within the city. The reasons stem from poor allocation and planning approaches, to political interference and unwillingness of teachers to work in slum-based schools. These have the unintended effect of increasing inequities for the urban poor, the reverse of the policy intention. The note outlines the pitfalls and practicalities of conducting this type of analysis.     

"More In Than Out": Switzerland's Association With Schengen/Dublin Cooperation

From the point of view of modes of governance and constellations of interdependence, EU research policy offers ideal conditions for the flexible inclusion of non‐member states: it is based on transgovernmental coordination through policy networks rather than supranational legislation, it follows scientific rather than political imperatives, and cooperation is in the interest of both the EU and of Switzerland. This article analyses the degree to which these factors have allowed for Switzerland's inclusion into the regulatory and organisational aspects of EU research policy, and highlights the limits of such flexible sectoral integration.     

Swiss Energy Policy and the Challenge of European Governance

The European Union establishes external relations with third countries in different ways. Network governance is considered as an organisational opening that provides for more cooperative flexibility and inclusion. In this article, I examine to what extent network governance enables Switzerland's inclusion in the European energy sector. I argue that, as the network governance of EU energy policy becomes more institutionalized – from the regulatory forums of Florence and Madrid to the European Regulators Group for Electricity and Gas (ERGEG) – Switzerland tends to be excluded. I further argue that this lack of political inclusion is partly compensated by patterns of market governance that favor Swiss firms. Neither network nor market governance, however, is a sufficient form of coordination and traditional options such as bilateral agreements (electricity) and autonomous adaptation (gas) seem inevitable.     

School Governance in Wales

Abstract

This article focuses on the involvement of governors in the governance of schools in Wales. Set within the context of the devolved education system, school governance has gone from being on the margins of interest to centre stage. This reflects a new focus on pupil performance and outcomes and the need for pupils in Wales to be successful internationally. As new regulations come into place in Wales which demand more from governors in relation to promoting school performance and educational achievement, there is a requirement for governors to undertake particular training. Governors will have to decide whether to federate governor arrangements or not in relation to their leadership of schools. Two key themes emerge in this article. First, there is greater control and direction from the centre over governors in how they undertake their governance roles. Second, there is an expectation that governors will collaborate with each other in the governance of schools. Both of these aspects are different from existing governance arrangements and the extent to which pupil outcomes improve will be fundamental to the success of the new regulations.
