Skilled hands,strong spirits: a century of building trade history,by Grace Palladino

When a hired thug hurled acid in the face of the prominent newspaper columnist, Victor Riesel, in 1956, the attack left him permanently blind. The incident appeared to dramatically vindicate Riesel's repeated warnings about the dangerous power of labor racketeers and it helped spur the creation of the largest ever congressional investigation into union corruption, the McClellan Committee hearings (1957–1959). This article raises important questions about the accepted version of why this attack occurred and what it meant. It uses recently released documents from the FBI as well as records from the McClellan Committee's staff. The article also suggests that several governmental bodies, including the FBI and the US Attorney's Office, played a role in furthering the public's misunderstanding of this episode. In so doing it offers a new understanding about how the issue of union corruption came to assume an important place on the nation's political agenda in this era.

村社区干部贪腐现象及其预防对策——以M市城乡结合部为例

我国城市化进程中出现了大量的城乡结合部地带,受特殊的历史、社会、经济等因素影响,这一区域矛盾非常复杂,治理难度较大。尤其是在土地征迁、经合社10%留用地项目建设、"三资"管理等方面频频发生的基层干部贪腐现象,不仅直接损害了村民(社区居民)的利益,而且严重影响了党群关系和政治信任,成为城乡结合部稳定和发展的一大障碍。预防村(社区)基层干部的腐败,一要强化村(社区)务公开,对"三资"管理实行"钱账双代理"制度;二要加强村民(社区居民)的监督权、罢免权,让群众积极参与到村级(社区)公共事务管理当中来;三要规范程序标准,营造公开透明拆迁环境;四要加大查处力度,发挥惩戒威慑功能。     

新中国成立初腐败发生源的政治生态学分析

新中国成立后,腐败现象和行为并没有伴随新政权和新社会的建立而彻底消失,反而由于受到权力运行外环境社会变革中的某些不成熟和不完善的环节、部分,以及权力运行体系自身内环境中隐藏的风险的双重作用,一度相当"猖獗"。这些特殊化劣变生态因子的滋生,说明了新中国成立初反腐斗争的艰巨性、复杂性,以及反腐败所取得的成绩来之不易;同时也表明,政府反腐败政治体系的构建不是"一劳永逸"的,必须在科学分析和把握具体政治生态环境特征的基础上实行"与时俱进"。     

法治思维下的福利与反腐

随着中央反腐力度不断加大,逢节送礼的不正之风受到极大遏制。与此同时,一些传统的职工节日福利也被取消,这引发了广泛的争议:有人认为不该借反腐之名拿掉职工福利,也有人认为"反腐不反职工福利"是特权思想在作怪,是打着民意的旗号为腐败行为辩护。应当确立福利的合理范畴,区分福利腐败与正常福利的界限,使薪酬和福利设计摆脱暧昧、灰色的性质,改变福利随意发放和定位不清的现状。福利腐败的治理必须运用法治思维依法进行,必须坚持公开、公平、公正原则,必须注意区别对象、合情合理。通过具体的规章制度管理好福利,是治标;最终实现福利的法治化、正规化、制度化,则是治本。     

Fear,greed, or garage sale? The analysis of military expenditure in East Asia

This paper examines the determinants of military expenditures in eight East Asian countries from 1983 to 1993. In a pooled cross-sectional time-series analysis, it finds that the security threats (either external or internal) have not been a factor in determining the governments' defence burdens. Instead, economic and bureaucratic budgetary factors are better predictors of their defence decision-making. Military corruption and subsidized defence industries are the main domestic elements driving up the budgets; but this bureaucratic 'irrationality' is checked and balanced by economic rationality, for the defence burdens generally correlate with the availability of economic resources.

The International Crime Business Survey: Findings from Nine Central–Eastern European Cities

The important findings of the International Crime Victim Survey (ICVS) have led the organisers to attempt to expand the scope of research to address the problem of victimisation of businesses through a specific international survey. Further to a first international survey in eight countries in 1994, the questionnaire was revised to focus in particular on the issues of corruption, fraud and extortion. The International Crime Business Survey (ICBS) was conducted in nine central–eastern European capital cities in 2000. The article presents a comparative analysis of experiences and attitudes of businesses in central–eastern Europe, where possible with reference to comparable information collected through the international households survey (ICVS) in the same cities and at the same time. Although there is great potential in this type of international research, too few resources are involved in analysing the results and looking at possible policy implications.The opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarly reflect the views of the United Nations
