政府信息公开行政诉讼有关问题研究

正确适用《政府信息公开条例》,依法审理政府信息公开行政案件,对于推进服务型政府建设、保障社会公众的知情权具有重要意义。但是,作为一种新类型案件,政府信息公开案件在司法实践中争议颇多,而政府信息的界定、政府信息公开例外情形的把握、政府信息公开案件的裁判方式和诉权滥用的防范应对等问题尤为值得关注,司法审查层面须有判断标准和合理应对。     

试析行政协调机制——以行政服务中心为视角

制造业与生产性服务业的产业互动及空间集聚研究

基于我国各地区制造业和生产性服务业增加值的数据,通过引入产业互动比率,对制造业和生产性服务业的产业互动与集聚进行分析。研究结果显示,在制造业和生产性服务业的整体集聚水平稳定增长及两者存在较为明显互动的背景下,制造业的空间集聚指数与制造业和生产性服务业的互动程度之间呈正相关关系,生产性服务业的空间集聚指数与制造业和生产性服务业的互动程度之间也呈正相关关系。这说明制造业与生产性服务业互动机制作用有利于两者空间集聚。两者的互动作用越强,其空间集聚现象越明显。     

Civil Liberties and the Korean War

This article addresses the unsuccessful attempts to suppress free speech during the Korean War, and in particular explains the attempts to silence three reporters of alleged atrocities by United Nations forces. In the absence of carefully targeted legislation, the three individuals – Alan Winnington (a journalist), Monica Felton (a women's movement activist) and Jack Gaster (a solicitor) ‐ were threatened with or investigated for prosecution for treason or sedition, and Winnington was unable to renew his passport until 1968. Drawing heavily on archival sources (including MI5 files, which unusually fail to redact the identity of one of the lawyers who was reporting to Special Branch about Gaster's activities), the article explores the threat to civil liberties from the administrative as well as the legislative and the judicial power of the state. The article concludes by drawing contemporary parallels, and highlighting the continuing relevance of the writings of Winnington, Felton and Gaster.     

The Cybercrime Convention Committee's 2017 Guidance Note on Production Orders: Unilateralist transborder access to electronic evidence promoted via soft law

This article provides a critical analysis of the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention Committee's Guidance Note of Production Orders, published on 1 March 2017. The article looks at the legal controversies surrounding production orders with a cross-border element. It explains the Guidance Note's background and origins, the basic provisions in the Cybercrime Convention allowing the law enforcement authorities to order and obtain certain information and discusses the requirements that follow from the relevant provisions of the Convention. This analysis is complemented by four critical remarks on the way the Guidance Note pushes the boundaries of acceptable treaty interpretation on the necessity of the Guidance Note, its position in regard to extraterritorial enforcement jurisdiction and sovereignty, its reticence towards fundamental rights and its refusal to define or clarify the important notion of “subscriber information”. The article argues that unilateralism is not a solution. Instead of soft law plumbing, what is needed is an agreement between sovereign states checked by their constituencies.

How responsible is 'responsive' government?

The work of John Rohr focuses primarily upon the constitutional dimension of the work of public servants, most particularly, but not exclusively, career civil servants employed in central government. In stressing public service ethics as a form of constitutional practice Rohr's aim is to help reinforce the legitimate role of career public servants in government and to remind practising public bureaucrats (and academics and politicians) of the nobility of the 'administrative vocation' of state service, a somewhat daunting task in today's political climate. In this article I examine Rohr's work to see what ethical light it might throw upon recent and ongoing political attempts to make the British public administration more 'responsive'. I do so, first, by outlining the main themes of Rohr's work and their location within the US constitutional tradition. I then proceed to discuss the extent to which they translate into other constitutional contexts. Finally, I attempt to put Rohr's work to use in discussing aspects of civil service reform in Britain under recent Conservative administrations and that of the present New Labour government.
