CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN SAUDI ARABIA: A STUDY OF THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR

The effects of Arab Spring led to widespread dissent among Saudi citizens, culminating in governmental fear of civil revolt. Thus, the Ministry of Labour introduced many developmental policies such as localisation, women employment that aimed to develop the country and satisfy the needs of citizens to offset rising inflation. These policies were said to be in the best interests of Saudi citizens. This study has therefore intended to investigate the extent to which the Ministry of Labour engaged and consulted with its citizens prior to the introduction of those policies. This study found that Saudi citizens participated via social dialogues, together, social media and digital communication in democratic governance. However, there is a gap in the perceptions of the Saudi elite and citizens regarding the significance of citizen participation in Saudi governance. It was discussed that complete democratic governance cannot be adopted due to autocratic nature of Saudi Arabia.     

Bureaucratic discretion,social equity,and the administrative legitimacy dilemma: Complications of New Public Service

Bureaucratic discretion continues to be one of a public administrator's primary powers while at the same time being one of their most controversial. Used in a positive way, bureaucratic discretion can enhance social equity; however, this practice can create administrative legitimacy dilemmas. As such, this paper conceptually discusses the theoretical position of public administrators that contributes to their engagement in legitimacy dilemmas, which is further complicated by the tenets of New Public Service. We argue that if public administrators are engaged in authentic interactions with the public and use their discretion to reflect the interests of the public, then they are engaged in truly democratic governance. We place this argument in the context of achieving social equity and highlight an avoided question in public administration. Finally, recommendations for future research are offered as a means progressing the social equity agenda in public administration.     

习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想研究方法初探——基于2012—2020年CNKI收录文献的计量分析

通过文献计量分析方法研究表明,当前理论界对习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的绝大多数研究采用了规范研究方法,在习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的理论溯源、框架体系等方面研究取得了重要成果,但同时也存在严重忽视实证研究方法、研究的学理性不强等不足。研究习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想,要在解决好"研究什么""为谁研究""怎么研究"这三个基本问题的基础上,打开学科边界,以马克思主义为原点,以新时代中国特色社会主义伟大实践为基点,以跨学科交叉的研究方法为支点,找准理论研究、实践对策与阐释宣传的结合点,构建规范研究、定量实证研究、定性实证研究三种研究方法相互促进的习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想研究体系。     

设立投资仲裁上诉机制的路径选择

目前,各国就投资仲裁上诉机制改革提交给联合国国际贸易法委员会第三工作组的建议主要有两种模式,分别是设立多边投资法院上诉机制和设立常设多边上诉机制。相对于多边投资法院,常设多边上诉机制更具有正当性与可行性。常设多边上诉机制对仲裁裁决一致性、可预测性和正确性的保障依托于具体规则的建立。一方面,上诉机制的审查范围应涵盖法律适用和事实认定错误以及程序性错误,以确保全面实现上诉机制的纠错功能;另一方面,应将事实认定上的错误限于“明显错误”,以提高仲裁效率。虽然遵循先例尚未成为国际仲裁实践的一般性原则,不能要求常设多边上诉机构在仲裁裁决中遵循既往裁决以提高裁决的一致性、连贯性和可预测性,但是WTO司法实践中发展形成的事实上的遵循先例也可以被常设多边上诉机制所借鉴。     

Older people’s conceptualisation of poverty and their experiences of government programmes in Uganda

This article explores older people’s understandings of poverty and analyses their experience of government policies for fighting poverty. It employed qualitative methods, including focus group discussions and key informant interviews. A total of 120 older people in two districts in Uganda participated in the study. Based on thematic analysis and observation of non-verbal communication, older people’s perspectives on poverty included a wide range of deprivations in their household. Findings reveal that there is a lack of legislation support and effective information for old people to demand accountability or influence policy strategies to address poverty. Despite the difficult living conditions of older people in poverty, the majority live independent lives, are self-reliant and use a variety of strategies to address poverty. Therefore, there is a need for scrutiny to ensure that poverty alleviation support reaches those who need it most.     

“发展”话语下的韩国新村运动

本文结合韩国学者对新农村运动的众多类研究,试图指出韩国新村运动是顺应西方“发展”话语的产物。而这套在西方形成的话语体系,在韩国的新村运动中落实,实际上经过了两次“本土化”的过程。第一次是总统朴正熙采取了拉平城乡差距的发展方略;但这个策略欲图实现的目的,却在韩国传统乡村的社会结构中加以实施的时候遭到了扭曲。因此,韩国新村运动也是“发展”本身无法完全自上而上取得成功的典型个案。     

Manifestos and elections in Ghana's Fourth Republic

Debate continues over the factors that influence electoral outcomes or voter behaviour and alignment in elections all over the world. Several factors have been noted, including the manifestos of political parties. In spite of the potential influence of the party manifesto, several comparative and empirical studies on elections in Ghana have paid little or no attention to manifestos in determining the electoral outcomes of political parties in the Fourth Republic.This paper makes a contribution to the debate by examining how manifestos have influenced the electoral chances of the two main political parties which have been in and out of government in Ghana since the inception of the Fourth Republic, namely, the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party. Analysis covers the five elections held in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008. Specifically, it discusses not only the ability of the manifestos to shape policy debate but also to some extent, influence electoral outcomes. The paper concludes with some lessons learned.     

The New World Order: A Deconstruction of the Nation-State and a Disaggregation of the “Mixed Political Economy”

The structure of the New World Order and its corresponding functions are becoming apparent. First, there will be a deconstruction of the nation-state. It will be bisected as power shifts to higher “macro-regional” levels on the one hand and lower “micro-regional” levels on the other. Second, there will be a disaggregation of the mixed political economy. It will be bifurcated as socialism is used at upper levels of human aggregation to alleviate pollution and as capitalism is used at lower levels to alleviate poverty.
