Is Citizens’ Trust Escalating the Effect of Sound Governance on Citizens’ Satisfaction in Ethiopia?

ABSTRACT

In the context of widespread criticisms to good governance, sound governance is proposed to be a viable alternative. This study examines the effect of sound governance on citizens’ satisfaction with the mediating role of citizens’ trust in the context of Ethiopia. Using a concurrent mixed method design, data were collected from eight key informant interviews besides 175 respondents through questionnaire. The results show the positive link between sound governance, citizens’ trust, and satisfaction. It also reports a partial mediating role of trust into the relationship between sound governance and citizens’ satisfaction.

A Cartography of a Global Civil Society Advocacy Alliance: The Case of the Global Call to Action against Poverty

The last few decades have witnessed the emergence of global civil society advocacy networks as major players in global governance. The Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP) is one of the recent phenomena in this arena and epitomizes high-level involvement of a multiplicity of actors in GCAP, with various multilateral governance institutions, as well as states. This article analyses the origins of GCAP, motivations for its formation, evolution, and operations, with specific references to its structures and architecture. It argues that alliances are very different from ‘normal’ forms of organizations because they are made up of diverse forms of organizations, coming together voluntarily to achieve a specific purpose and therefore are by their very nature complex, unstable, and difficult to co-ordinate. The result of such, within GCAP, is an organization that is somewhat amorphous and exhibits both aspects of anti-systemic protest (in Polanyian terms) as well as a pacifying force (part of the hegemonic historic block in Gramcsian terms). I argue that the loose nature of global civil society alliances is a positive contributor to mass mobilization but causes frustrations in decision-making and actions. This, in effect, calls for a more bureaucratized and institutionalized architecture, albeit with a potential to alienate some constituencies. A key lesson from GCAP's evolution, structures, and strategies, I posit, is that it is not possible to push through individual positions without compromising so as to accommodate others.

New Governance,Green Planning and Sustainability: Tasmania Together and Growing Victoria Together1

Bridgman and Davis (2000:91) have argued that ‘ideally government will have a well developed and widely distributed policy framework, setting out economic, social and environmental objectives’. This article compares and evaluates two such frameworks or plans, Tasmania Together and Growing Victoria Together, in terms of their potential to promote sustainability. It argues that they are very different exercises in new governance, aimed at reconnecting with community priorities and at redirecting macro‐policy setting away from a preoccupation with economic priorities, respectively. Nevertheless, both plans have the capacity to ‘green’ state planning, in Tasmania in terms of more purposeful benchmarks, and in Victoria in terms of enhanced sustainability emphasis in the macro‐policy setting. The article encounters tensions in its review of the plans between deliberation and planning, policy empowerment and policy progress, and policy institutionalisation and politicisation as means of achieving policy change. It finds that whilst Tasmania and Victoria are re‐engaged states that are reinventing state policy, as yet they are failing to meet the governance challenges of sustainability.

关于侦查权控制方式的思考

各个国家对侦查权进行的控制方式大致包括司法授权、司法救济和权利制约等。在我国，对侦查杈缺乏有效的控制，主要的控权方式是侦查机关的内部控制和检察机关的外部制约，对权力的制约基本不具有效用。鉴于此，应完善我国的侦查权控制方式。司法授权目前不具可行性．理性的做法是，建立司法救济制度、完善内部控制、加强检察监督、赋予犯罪嫌疑人更多对抗侦查行为的权利。     

拐卖妇女的社会结构性原因分析——兼论法律控制失败下的标本兼治

在社会结构失衡的情况下，妇女成为“商品”交易对象，这导致妇女被拐卖而非正常性地流动，使法律、政府等控制失效，尤其是，当这些社会结构状态一直维持失衡的情况下，打击拐卖行为只能是治标，根本的解决问题仍然从平衡社会结构这一治本之策开始。     

陕西产业结构变迁对就业的影响分析

产业结构是生产要素在产业部门之间的分配状况及关联方式,它决定了一个国家或地区的经济增长状况,尤其是决定了就业结构的状况。陕西产业结构从整体上讲正朝着合理的方向发展,但就业结构的变动明显滞后于产业结构,并且二者发展不平衡。为了缓解就业形势,陕西应在保证国民经济快速增长的同时,保持第一产业的基础地位,巩固第二产业的支柱地位,积极和大力发展第三产业,调整就业结构。
