中国共产党领导的多党合作制度不容置疑——对邓小平多党合作理论的再认识

我们之所以必须坚持中国共产党领导的多党合作这一政党制度,不仅是历史的必然选择,更重要的是因为这一政党制度具有六大比较优势。在新时期,经济结构多元,新的阶层涌现,社会矛盾复杂,一党制是没有出路的。在全面建设小康社会的新的历史时期,必须集中全人类的智慧,整合全社会的力量;决不允许出现自由主义,不能发生无政府主义。在新时期,中国的社会、政治、文化、经济现状是不允许实行多党竞争制度的,优势党执政下的有序民主,即中国共产党领导的多党合作制度是比较符合中国特色的政党制度。     

Institutional Regimes for Sustainable Collective Housing Stocks

The influence of public policy, property rights and contracts on the sustainability of residential buildings remains largely unknown. This research will use the analytical framework of the housing institutional regime to study the sustainability over time of the housing stock. We aim to produce an inventory of the housing institutional regime in Switzerland, a comparison with the German and Catalan regimes, and policy suggestions to achieve a better sustainability of the housing stock.     

中日韩比较优势模式的变化特征及其启示

区域经济一体化和双边或多边FTA的建设和发展,是当前国际经济体系变革中的主要趋势之一。中日韩合作以及三国间双边、多边FTA建设,也是当前三国政界和学界探讨的重点和焦点课题。为此,有必要研究三国出口结构的变化,以及由此引起的比较优势模式的变化。基于中日韩三国的出口结构的变化,利用相关系数和显性比较优势指数RCA,可以系统考察三国间的比较优势模式变化的趋势及其特征。根据中日韩三国间的贸易特征,我国在制定相应对策时,应根据相关国家的政策倾向积极采取有针对性的政策及措施。

法治理念下的职务犯罪侦查模式

职务犯罪侦查制度是一项重要的刑事司法制度。中国特色社会主义法律体系的形成必将推动职务犯罪侦查模式的革新与完善,促使检察机关查办职务犯罪理念向“由证到供”型方式转变。当前职务犯罪呈现的新特征凸显适用特殊侦查措施侦破案件的必要性,并迫切要求立法上的支持与完善。     

The Failure of Presidentialism in Central Asia

Institutional design can impact the dynamics of power relations in Central Asian states. Majoritarianism and the rigidity of the fixed terms of presidential systems are amplified by the personalist regimes of Central Asia, often leading to instability. A parliamentary system may reduce the political repression of these regimes by decreasing the stakes in each particular election. It may also increase stability due to the higher flexibility of the system. The effectiveness of the parliamentary system, however, depends largely on the existence of strong cohesive parties.     

Citizens versus Parties: Explaining Institutional Change in German Local Government, 1989–2008

Abstract

From 1989 to 2008, local governments in Germany have experienced ‘massive’ institutional change. Local constitutions have been altered in all German states giving citizens more say in local politics, while at the same time reducing local parties' influence. The paper first describes the changes according to two analytical models of local democracy. It then tries to explain the institutional change as a process of diffusion in a federal state. Three questions are answered in the explanatory part: Why did some forerunner states start with the reforms at the beginning of the 1990s and not earlier? Why did the reforms continue in other states although there was no general pressure from above? And why did some states continue with the reforms while others did not? In the first part of the paper the changes are described quantitatively while a qualitative approach is used in the explanatory part. The analyses show that the beginning of the reforms is related to ‘massive political failure’ while further reforms are a result of rational learning by different actors (large parties, small parties, non-governmental actors) depending on different means of reform. Based on these results we forecast a continuation of the reforms in the next years leading to a convergence of citizen-oriented local government all over Germany.     

An empirical analysis of municipal choice in Portugal

Processes of European integration and growing consumer scrutiny of public services have served to place the spotlight on the traditional French model of public/private interaction in the urban services domain. This article discusses recent debates within France of the institutionalised approach to local public/private partnership, and presents case study evidence from three urban agglomerations of a possible divergence from this approach. Drawing on the work of French academic, Dominique Lorrain, whose historical institutionalist accounts of the French model are perhaps the most comprehensive and best known, the article develops two hypotheses of institutional change, one from the historical institutionalist perspective of institutional stability and persistence, and the other from an explicitly sociological perspective, which emphasises the legitimating benefits of following appropriate rules of conduct. It argues that further studying the French model as an institution offers valuable empirical insight into processes of institutional change and persistence.
