论警检关系的基本特征与发展趋势

尽管世界上几个主要国家的警检关系存在三大模式的分野,但各国警察机关和检察机关之间既存在形式上的分工关系,又具有实质上的合作关系,只不过三大模式的侧重点有所不同而已。大致说来,英美模式的侧重点在审判程序,而大陆模式、中俄模式的侧重点在审前程序。但从一些国家近年来的司法改革看,三大模式在相互吸收的基础上,警检关系开始出现紧密化的发展趋势。     

转型期中国公共领导体制变革与廉政建设

腐败与反腐败是社会政治生活中的一个永恒主题。腐败的存在与公共权力密切相关,作为公共权力运作的核心性规范,公共领导体制直接规定着高层领导者运用权力的方式,影响着社会的腐败与反腐败活动。伴随着社会发展,中国公共领导体制开始现代化转型,从传统型权威和个人魅力型权威向法理型权威转换,其反腐败方略也相应地从注重思想教育和社会运动转向注重制度约束。与此相适应,必须深化公共领导体制改革,以制度创新根治腐败,包括:进行良好的宪政分权,发展直接民主;引入政治竞争,实行政务公开;转变政府职能,推动行政体制改革,规范政府行为;强化监督机制和惩罚机制;加强思想教育和道德约束,提高政府官员的廉洁自律度,等等。     

Acts of Faith: Churches and Political Engagement

Many observers suggest that white evangelical Protestant churches serve to mobilize their members into politics, while others argue that they encourage withdrawal from political life. This paper reconciles these two claims. I hypothesize that the time members of evangelical Protestant denominations spend in service to their church comes at the expense of participation in the wider community, contrary to the way mainline Protestant and Catholic churches foster civic activity among their members. However, I further hypothesize that the tight social networks formed through this intensive church activity can at times facilitate rapid and intense political mobilization. Data from the Citizen Participation Study supports the first hypothesis, while applying King's method of ecological inference to two elections in Alabama supports the second.     

Corporate interests and public affairs: organised business–government relations in EU member states

The internationalisation of economic and political affairs changes the way in which business interests are brought to bear on public policy. This is a global phenomenon but can, in particular, be observed in Europe. The construction of the European Union, the development of the Single Market and the build‐up of the policy institutions to go with it, together change business–government relations profoundly. This paper answers the question of how organised business interests relate to government agencies and political institutions. By using the example of trade associations in the Netherlands and Germany, the paper shows that, despite the internationalisation of public affairs in Europe, the national political level remains strategically important for the representation of business interests. The paper thus argues that changes in European business–government relations are institutionally embedded at both the European and the national level. The implication for future research is that much of the dynamics of economic and political internationalisation materialises within the domestic arrangements of interest politics.

Mexicans react to electoral fraud and political corruption: an assessment of public opinion and voting behavior

Despite various electoral reforms enacted in Mexico between 1988 and 1994, large numbers of Mexicans doubted the honesty of elections and the general integrity of their country's policy making process. Such doubts did not automatically lead, however, to support for opposition parties that called for greater democratization. Rather, voter preferences were largely dependent on judgments about the opposition's viability and competence. Widespread suspicions about fraud and corruption in Mexico did affect electoral outcomes by making it less likely that potential opposition supporters turned out to vote. Data are drawn from seven national public opinion surveys conducted in Mexico in 1986, 1988, 1991, 1994 (3 polls), and 1995.     

从韦勒克、艾金伯勒到伯恩海默至中国学派--比较文学的跨文明研究轨迹

韦勒克、艾金伯勒、伯恩海默以及中国学派等在比较文学学科理论上的相关观点勾勒出了一条比较文学跨文明研究的轨迹,而这条跨文明研究轨迹又是沿着两条思路展开的一是寻求不断地超越狭隘的西方中心主义束缚;二是从异质性和互补性来丰富比较文学的可比性内容.     

刑事被害人国家补偿制度初探

国家补偿制度是国家对被害人合法权益的一种司法保护措施,它不仅体现了国家抚慰被害人的人性化治国理念,也表明了国家自愿承担国家义务的负责态度。国家补偿制度确立的理论主要有三种学说:国家责任说、社会福利说和社会保险说。各国的国家补偿制度因受不同理论思想的影响存在较大差异。从各国的具体制度设置来看,构建国家补偿制度的基本原则主要有:及时补偿原则、优先保护原则和就低不就高原则。确立国家补偿制度应当具备以下几个方面的要件:第一,适用补偿的对象。第二, 申请补偿的条件。第三,补偿审议的机关。第四,补偿范围、金额及方式、补偿程序等。笔者认为,从现在经济层面、认识层面、制度层面等诸方面看,在我国确立被害人国家补偿制度的时机已基本成熟。     

中国妇女参政十年回顾与评估

该文对于1995年至2005年的中国妇女参政进行回顾评估,从四个方面展开:第一,将十年妇女参政置于解放后的历史背景下,描述加强制定性别保障政策的意义和实践。第二,发现女性民主参与对我国公共政策推进的价值。第三,与国际社会妇女参政进行比较,与我国民主党派进行比较,分析这十年妇女参政停滞不前的状况和原因。第四,分析参政女性在权力结构中的边缘地位,认为导致女性政治参与更多表现出的是非权力的外围参与,对公共政策的影响效果有限。

依法行政下的行政许可--以自由裁量权为视角

行政行为的自由裁量权不可忽视或否认,科学的态度是考虑如何将自由裁量权控制在合理范围内.行政许可存在自由裁量权,但应比其他行政行为得到更为严格的控制.而在事前、事中、事后相结合的法律机制中,程序控制更应受到重视.
