Cooperation-benefit and social mobilization： The basement of harmonious society

As a goal pursued by human beings, a harmonious society can be constructed through a bottom to up social construction mechanism and top to bottom social mobilization mechanism. A healthy social construction mechanism can promote social wealth and allocate it impartially by jointing production of member of society and cooperation-benefit. At the same time, a good social mobilization mechanism, on the other way, makes the members of society reach a harmonious consensus by social mobilization and social civilization. In order to create these two types of mechanisms, public administrators need to develop mechanisms to promote cooperation and develop cooperation productivity. These mechanisms include social trust mechanism, information sharing mechanism, supervision and restraining mechanism and the mechanism for the distribution of interests.     

An overview: A new era of tax enforcement – from “big stick” to responsive regulation

Recent developments in regulation and tax administration in Australia inspired this article on tax compliance and responsive regulation. This article analyzes the economics of crime and compliance as the dominant approach to tax enforcement of the past three and a half decades. It evaluates the key advantages and disadvantages of the economic approach as well as its application to tax. The article then explores responsive regulation as an alternative method that draws on the economic paradigm but also supplements this approach with other theories, particularly those involving identity, conflict escalation, and procedural justice. Building on this analysis and a case study of Australian investors in mass marketed tax schemes, the article suggests that the broader, more balanced, and closely tailored method of regulating responsively may enable regulators to draw on the advantages of the economic model while alleviating some of its drawbacks. Responsive regulation may therefore constitute a superior method for regulating compliance.     

Two hypotheses about the emergence of a post-national European model of citizenship

Citizenship is not just a status (defined by a set of rights and obligations), it is also an identity that expresses membership in a political community. It also has a substantive political dimension of active participation in the public sphere. Traditionally, collective identity and the membership dimensions of citizenship have been seen as intrinsic to the nation-state. The processes of globalization that have undermined the sovereignty of the nation-state make it necessary to reconceptualize citizenship in light of a ‘post-national’ framework. At the same time, however, the ‘culturalization’ of the social and the ‘multiculturalization’ of societies are putting into question the homogeneity of a collective identity. According to a recent hypothesis, a new post-national model of citizenship is emerging, one of European construction. In seeking to explore this position, the paper advances two additional hypotheses: (i) EU policy-making and governance are likely to foster a post-national European civil society with multi-level citizenship participation; and (ii) European anti-discrimination regulations are likely to accelerate the emergence of an alternative model to multiculturalism that can address differences within a universal framework of rights.     

论农村全面建设小康社会指标体系的构建

农村全面建设小康社会指标体系的构建是全面建设小康社会实践不可回避的问题,对于农村小康社会这样的复杂的复合系统,目前还不可能用几个指标来描述系统的状态和变化,因而需通过建立指标体系来描述系统的发展状况。根据对全面建设小康社会内涵、目标、任务的理解,指标体系分为总系统、子系统和个体指标三个层次。农村全面建设小康社会总目标是总系统;第二层次分别由经济发展、社会进步、政治民主、生活质量、生态环境五个子系统组成;对应子系统五个截面选择设立22项个体指标为第三个层次。子系统间的相互联系构成了体系结构。通过定性与定量相结合的研究与分析确定指标权重,可以初步构建起农村全面建设小康社会指标体系。
