What is the opposite of corruption?

Corruption has turned out to be difficult to define and what should be counted as the opposite to corruption remains widely disputed. If the goal for a post-conflict society is not only to become democratic and prevent a return to violence but also to reduce systemic corruption, we need to know what it is that should be fought and how the opposite to systemic corruption should be conceptualised. To define the opposite to corruption, choices have to be made along four conceptual dimensions. These are universalism vs relativism, uni- vs multidimensionality, normative vs empirical and whether the definition should relate to political procedures or policy substance. As a result of this conceptual analysis, it is argued, a universal, one-dimensional, normative and procedural definition should be preferred. The suggested definition is that of impartiality as the basic norm for the implementation of laws and policies. This conceptual analysis ends with a discussion of why such a norm has historically and in the contemporary world been hard to achieve and why it is especially problematic in post-conflict societies.     

Social networks versus technical networks： How different social interaction patterns effect information system utilization in the organizations？

Improvements in information and communication technologies have reshaped production and consumption relations during the post-modern era. Societies have tried to adapt themselves to the requirements of new knowledge-based economy. It has also become vital for the organizations to meet the needs of knowledge society. Whether they are public or private, organizations play key roles in the transformation processes of the societies and economies. It is important for the organizations not only to use the latest information technologies, but also create social structures, which can ease information flow throughout the organization. Social network studies that are quite different from traditional approaches in sociology can be very useful tools to understand arid manipulate organizational networks. The results of several research activities have shown that actors use their social connections to reach information, resources and possible opportunities （Garguilo ＆ Benassi, 2000）. It is not enough to use advanced information technologies in an organization to build an effective knowledge distribution system regarding the social network perspective, it is required to understand the patterns of social interactions between actors and to find a fit between technical structure and social structure for effective knowledge-based organizational design. Structural holes theory （Butt, 1992） emphasized the importance of brokerage roles of the actors in a social network. Structural holes are unconnected actors （individuals, groups or organizations） in a social network （Burt, 1992）. If there are numerous structural holes in an organization, there will also be quite a number of brokerage opportunities for some actors in the organizational networks. Brokers are the bridges and gatekeepers who are controlling information flow in the organizations. It is vitally important to explore brokerage patterns in an organizational network for an effective knowledge based design. This study is a conceptual framework aiming at bringing an explanation to socially created information flow structures in the organizations by using structural holes theory.     

试论国际法的“公共物品”属性

国际法是国际关系的产物,它反映了各国的共同利,体现了各国的共同意志,是指导国家对外交往、和平解决国际争端的共同规范.国际法规范的非竞争性、非排他性特点,使之具有"公共物品"的属性,是实现全球治理、维护世界和平与发展的重要保障.     

从the “DG Harmony”案看英美法下海上危险货物托运人归责原则之演进

从the＂DG Harmony＂案中美国联邦第二巡回上诉法院的轰动性判决入手,对英美法有关海上危险货物运输下托运人归责原则和承托双方责任分担的相关立法和司法实践的演进作一梳理,即从《海牙规则》与美国COGSA1936前普通法和一般海事原则下托运人严格责任的确立,到对《海牙规则》及COGSA1936相关条款下托运人严格责任的解析,再到以the＂DG Harmony＂案为代表的英美目前司法实践对突破托运人严格责任的探索。在此梳理的基础上,总结概括出目前英美法下裁判海上危险货物运输纠纷的思路与原则。这种以托运人严格责任原则为基础,以通过＂知识权衡＂与因果分析确定的＂未能提醒＂的过失责任原则为补充的思路,对中国的立法和司法实践具有一定的借鉴意义。     

商品销售中立行为的帮助之可罚性探究

商品销售行为的特殊在于,由其具有的业务性、日常性、匿名交易性、反复继续性、可取代性等所体现出来的中立性,使行为本身没有制造、增加不被法所允许的危险,故应否定帮助行为的存在,否定帮助犯的成立。不管对方是否具有购买的形式上的资格,从规范的保护目的考虑,在知悉对方的犯罪意图时,销售违禁品的行为丧失中立的性质,成立帮助犯;销售具有一定危险性的日常使用的物品,也恶用于犯罪的,应由使用者自我答责,应否定帮助犯的成立;销售一般用于日常生活或生产的物品,即使知悉购买者的犯罪意图也不构成犯罪。

公共物品多中心供给模式探究

公共物品的复杂性向单中心供给模式提出了挑战;公共物品多中心供给模式正是在此基础上发展起来的,多中心内含着参与主体相互独立、地位平等、自愿参与一系列同时发生的博弈,达到非均衡平衡状态的性质;多中心的特性满足了公共物品供给复杂性的要求,多中心供给模式是公共物品有效供给的最好选择。
