Livelihood recovery after disaster

A lack of monitoring and evaluation on the outcomes of livelihood recovery programming has typified many post-disaster recovery initiatives. This article uses a case study of the 2006 Yogyakarta, Indonesia earthquake to analyse longer-term impacts of livelihood programming after disaster. The article includes an overview of the programming implemented in five case study villages and the perspectives of impacted populations on the livelihood interventions. Results indicate the importance of longer-term programming, early interventions, local leadership, and an integrative strategy focusing on replacing assets, providing capital and credit to jumpstart entrepreneurial activities, capacity and skills building, and developing markets and networks.     

Management not models: adaptability,responsiveness, and a few lessons from football

Despite a swathe of critiques of logframes and other blueprint approaches to development over the last 30 years, most aid infrastructure continues to concentrate on the design and subsequent implementation of closed models. This article does not propose an alternative to blueprints, but challenges the inflexibility of their implementation, which is inadequate given the complex nature of social change. It proposes a supplementary management and learning approach which enables implementers to be dynamic, adaptive, and responsive to problems and opportunities. Emphasising the role of donors, the paper presents a case study of one donor-led programme in Bangladesh doing just this.     

论经济法的基本价值取向

经济法的价值具有多元性 ,但当其多元价值发生冲突时 ,经济法应当以效益作为其基本价值。以效益作为经济法的基本价值不仅具有坚实的理论基础 ,而且体现在经济法的具体制度中。经济法效益价值可以通过经济立法、经济执法和经济司法等途径得以实现 ,并与经济法其他价值存在连动互补关系     

论宪法基本权利条款在私法上的效力

传统的观念认为:宪法对权利的保障通常只是约束国家和国家机关,对私人领域的效力是间接的,不具有直接的法律效力,宪法的基本权利规范具有原则性,且无制裁性规定,不能在私法上直接适用。但“理论是灰色的,而生活之树常青”,本文立足于对国外相关理论的分析,对我国社会现实、法律观念及宪法规范的梳理,探讨我国确认基本权利私法效力的必要性、合宪性。     

有效性限度:政府作用的再认识

政府在经济和社会的持续发展中的作用是有效的,但政府自身的缺陷使得这种有效性具有了一定的限度。政府作用的这种限度表现为政府作用范围、政府赖以存在和发展的资源以及制定和执行公共政策的实际效果有限。政府作用有效性限度决定了有效政府的前提是有限政府。     

企业目标激励有效性分析

目标激励是当前企业使用频率较高的激励方法之一。这种激励方法有条件适用性,它们会影响职工积极性、主动性和创造性的发挥和管理的效率。目标激励的有效性主要取决于以下因素:目标的合理性;人们的参与程度;组织环境和工作特性;管理者的管理作风;分权程度;员工的素质和能力。     

论商法在中国社会主义市场经济法律体系中的地位和作用

在我国社会主义市场经济法律体系中,民法是前置性法律,经济法是保障性法律,而商法则是市场运行法,特殊的功能成就其不可替代的独立地位。商法产生于市场经济并且直接服务于市场经济,两者具有深刻的依存关系,以效益为契合点,通过反映市场经济内在要求的技术性规范,保障市场主体营利自由,进而促进社会财富的增加,实践的品格使其具有高度灵活性。现代市场经济立法主要表现为商事立法,没有健全的商法制度,就没有完备的社会主义市场经济法律体系。在经济危机频繁爆发的当今世界,我国商事法律制度的建设依然任重而道远,需要理性面对法律部门功能纯化、法律移植合理化和商事习惯法律化等问题。     

Examining Police Effectiveness as a Precursor to Legitimacy and Cooperation with Police

Numerous studies by Tyler and colleagues, as well as other scholars, support a normative, process model to account for variation in the public’s cooperation with police in the USA and other developed nations. However, a recent study in Ghana suggests that in developing countries fraught with high levels of violent crime and corruption, cooperation may instead be accounted for by a utilitarian, rational-choice model. Our study examines whether public cooperation with police in the developing nation of Trinidad and Tobago is associated with the process model or rational-choice model. Using in-person structured interviews with residents, we examined whether victims’ decisions to report to police were related to individuals’ perceptions about police effectiveness or police legitimacy. We found support for the process model. We discuss possible explanations for the divergence with Tankebe’s research in Ghana and suggest avenues for future research.     

CNKI中关于“干部教育培训组织管理有效性”的研究

制度有效性测度解析——基于制度经济学的视角

如何确定制度的有效性是制度经济学必须回答的问题。文章提出制度有效性的判定原则应包括制度的效率、制度的正义性和制度的增益性三个方面,并根据经济学的分析原理建构了一个界定制度有效性的测度模型。通过对制度有效性的研究,使我们对于制度内涵的把握和理解更加深刻。
