Distributive justice: Theory and research

The concept of distributive justice and the theoretical and empirical work conducted on it during the past two decades are examined. Three questions provide the structure for this examination: (i) What are fundamental conceptual dimensions of distributive justice and the specific substantive issues to which they are related? (ii) What central questions has recent work on distributive justice addressed? and (iii) What are the most important emerging issues on which work in the near-term future should focus? Much of the theory and research examined in the paper is social psychological in nature, but reference is made to related work in related disciplines, particularly sociology and philosophy.

Straining without training? Capacity-related problems facing African election executives and officials

This article argues that the empowerment of election officials and executives is usually overlooked, understated or simply ignored; yet elections cannot be conducted without plans in place to improve their efficiency and effectiveness; especially through training. As one of the foremost mechanisms for improving elections, training is crucial to organisational performance enhancement. However, training for election officials and executives is fairly new in many African countries. Generally incorporated in generic university or vocational institute courses globally, training is usually offered as a special tailor-made module for polling officials in western countries. Even then, it rarely covers the severe conditions election officials regularly face, especially in Africa. This article examines these issues based on a review of the extant literature, conceptual and theoretical reflection on election management, and practical interaction with some election authorities who participated as trainees in the Unisa Management of Democratic Elections in Africa (MDEA) course (2012–2014). The article concludes that the training of election officials and executives poses challenges for Africa; partly because some election management bodies (EMBs) prefer to “strain” rather than effectively train their members to ensure sustainable performance, and partly because others prefer short-term irrelevant training that undermines their organisational goals. These hurdles need to be overcome if Africa is to address its election-related challenges.

试论旅游资源羡余现象

羡余现象是2004年金颖若从信息科学引入到旅游研究中的。在此之前和之后都有学者对处于劣势地位的旅游资源进行过理论探讨及实证研究,某些理论观点同对旅游资源羡余的认识有殊途同归的效果。文章结合目前相关研究进展,对旅游资源羡余概念的界定、特性、类型及转变为非羡余旅游资源的途径做了进一步分析,以便更深入的阐释羡余现象,并以期指导地区羡余旅游资源的蜕变。     

中国共产党制度资源系统的层次架构与运作模式

制度是一个由不同要素构成的系统,绝不仅仅是一些规则的集成与组合。要对中国共产党制度资源系统有一个较为全面的把握,就要求我们从静态和动态两个方面对其加以审视,即一方面从静态上把握制度资源系统的层次架构,另一方面从动态上把握制度系统是如何运作的,并在此基础上把握中国共产党制度资源系统有效运作的要求。
