Controlling the flow: Security, exclusivity, and criminal intelligence in Ontario

This paper examines security networks in a context where security is increasingly regarded as a problem of intelligence. Data are derived from interviews with officers in criminal intelligence units in Ontario, Canada. A conceptual framework is developed to understand the limits of security intelligence within an emerging security network paradigm, focussing on the normative dimensions governing security networking, and the mechanisms and technologies limiting information deployment among public security agencies. Despite efforts to address security through the sharing of actionable information, security intelligence maintains an exclusive value. Technologies of control promoting this exclusivity also function to prevent intelligence from becoming common knowledge. Because of its limited value, intelligence is ill-suited for export into security governance writ large.     

澳门公务员绩效评核指标体系分析及其借鉴

有效的绩效考核有赖于一套科学可行的绩效考核指标体系.指标体系的构建一直是公务员绩效考核中的难点与重点.主要采取实地调查法与文献研究法对澳门公务员绩效评核指标体系的构建与完善进行了系统的研究,侧重考察了新评核指标体系的指标设定、指标权重的设计、衡量等级标准的规定以及评核结果等次的设置,希望为我国内地公务员绩效考核指标体系的构建、绩效考核制度的改革与完善提供经验借鉴.主要得出以下结论:一是职务分析是科学合理地进行绩效考核系统设计的前提,必须把绩效考核建立在规范的职务分析的基础上,根据不同岗位的绩效目标和绩效标准来进行有针对性的绩效考核.二是在进行指标体系设计时,要动态地制定绩效考核目标;要对绩效考核目标进行逐层分解,在分解的基础上形成二级或二级以上的考核指标;指标权重的设计要具体考察不同岗位的工作性质和职务要求,尽可能地使权重的分布吻合岗位的特征和绩效目标;绩效考核标准的设计要具体明晰,具有可操作性.     

论股东提案权制度

在所有权与经营权分离的现代公司制度中,股东大会往往成为控股股东压制中小股东的工具。完善的股东提案权制度是中小股东参与公司管理和维护利益的一种有效途径。股东提案权的缘起、股东提案权的理论基础和现实意义、股东提案权的具体内容以及我国股东提案权制度的不足与完善。     

政府绩效评估模式的选择策略

人们的政治价值很大程度上是民族传统政治文化浸润的产物,观念传统和制度结构演进的路径依赖会不断强化绩效评估价值的中国特色。我国政府绩效评估模式的选择策略应体现:顾客至上的原则;公共责任的原则;匹配优化的原则。中国政府绩效评估模式选择过程中必须要注意处理好:政府绩效与施政成本之间的关系;评估标准的价值统一性与评估指标差异性之间的关系;评估主体的依附性与独立性之间关系。     

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.     

新型网络服务提供者的定性与责任建构——兼评阿里云服务器案

对于云服务器租赁等新型网络服务提供者而言,应当灵活地理解《侵权责任法》第36条中所述的"通知删除"规则。因为该类网络服务提供者对于他人通过其提供服务所传递的信息及内容,并无实际控制或影响的能力,一概地要求其断开所提供服务,可能有违"手段-目的"应合比例性的要求。当然,权利人发出的通知应当满足必要的构成要件。若因其不当行使通知权利,也应受到必要的惩罚。根据阶段不同,对新型网络服务提供者也有不同的责任要求,具体而言:其在事前应履行必要审查义务,在事中应主动判断通知内容并确定可以采取的适当必要措施,而在事后视其过错程度承担相应的责任。

Does it matter ‘who governs?’ Governance networks,local economic development policies,and the Great Recession

This study purports to examine whether governance networks influence cities’ use of local economic development policies, specifically business incentives, and if the role of networks changed during the Great Recession. Using American cities that responded to the International City/County Management Association’s Economic Development Survey in 2004 and 2009, hierarchical cluster analysis was employed to identify groups of cities with similar network membership patterns. The results of negative binomial regression models indicate that before the recession, the total number of actors participating in the network played a larger role in the total number of incentives provided by cities as well as the use of tax incentives. This changed in 2009 when network type emerged as the important governance-based determinant of the same variables. The results also suggest that traditional theories of economic development do not hold during times of economic and fail to explain the use of planning and labour incentives.     

Supporting farmer participation in formal seed systems: lessons from Tharaka,Kenya

This article examines contemporary challenges of formal seed sector participation for resource-poor farmers in Tharaka and engages in a wider discussion of national seed policy and formal seed sector development in Kenya. While many farmers reported utilising modern seed varieties developed by the formal seed sector, the majority of these were introduced through seed aid and maintained through seed saving, supporting seed system integration strategies. Building on these findings, the article discusses ways in which national seed policy in Kenya might be refined to better meet national and regional development goals focused on decreasing the incidence of hunger and poverty.
