全球化进程与当代政府管理创新

政府管理创新是世界各国政府发展的总趋势。全球化进程作为一个大的时代背景,在加强国与国联系的同时,必然推动着各国政府外部管理体制和内部运作机制的相互学习和自我创新。全球化进程对当代政府管理更是提出了许多全新的要求:一、全球化进程必然要求当代政府管理对于新的国际情势有一个制度上的回应;二、全球化进程使得一个主权国家政府管理的内部事务衍生出外部意义;三、全球化进程要求政府管理从传统的"自上而下"的统治走向"上下互动"的治理;四、全球化进程要求当代政府管理在全球范围内关注生态治理、环境保护和和平共处的问题。     

试论现代治理理论对我国治理经济犯罪的启示

在我国社会主义市场经济飞速发展的今天,经济犯罪作为社会的一个伴生物也越来越多。20世纪70年代,西方社会出现了对社会治理理论的深刻反思,提出了现代治理理论。现代治理理论对我国经济犯罪的的防范与控制也起着一定的作用,因此,有必要借鉴西方的现代治理理论防范与控制我国的经济犯罪活动。     

欧美等国公司内部监督机制对我国的启示

各国公司治理结构可分为英美的外部监控模式和德国的内部监控模式,法国属兼采用两种模式的国家。我国公司法应授权公司选择单层制或双层制,并对监事会权力作出重新调整,限制董事和监事的兼职数量,加强银行和债权人在公司治理中的作用。     

Europeanising Gender Mainstreaming: Constraints and Opportunities in the Multilevel Euro-polity

What are the conditions for empowering `gender mainstreaming' as a new policy frame beyond the supranational level in member states and regions of the European Union? This paper is premised on the following assumptions: that mainstreaming will reduce gender disparities in Europe only if it takes root at all levels of decision-making, but that some national gender regimes can be expected to resist mainstreaming more than others, especially because it does not command `hard' legal tools. The puzzle to be examined is how mainstreaming can become effective across the European multilevel polity. It is argued that vis-à-visthe resistance of domestic gender regimes, the Europeanisation of equal treatment norms in national, regional and local contexts over the past decades has generated a variety of mechanisms for the cross-border diffusion of new policy ideas that can help to promote mainstreaming. Drawing on comparative Europeanisation research, this argument is developed in three steps. First, the past performance of member states in the implementation of E.U. gender directives is explored, to identify patterns and dynamics and classify leaders and laggards. Second, current mainstreaming experiences in one of the most conspicuous laggard states – Germany – are examined closely. Finally, as a means of explaining the rather intense engagement of German federal and regional governments with mainstreaming, two factors are highlighted: elite learning, and new governance instruments developed by the E.U. Notwithstanding the steps taken to promote mainstreaming, the prospects for further institutionalization within the E.U. appear contingent on the outcome of the Convention on the Future of the Union and the Intergovernmental Conference planned for 2004, since the invigorating of the subsidiarity principle and the division of competences across the multilevel polity are key issues of debate.

论区域城镇体系发展中的城市政府作用

在经济全球化的形势下,区域的经济竞争与合作日益加强,城市治理模式也随之发生变化。为了适应我国区域经济重组和城镇体系发展的新趋势,城市治理模式应向多元政府与其他组织构成的管治联盟转变,形成新的公共治理模式。城市政府的主要作用体现在战略规划与协调、制定市场规制与监督、城市理财与经营以及合理提供城市服务等方面。

Parallel Systems and Human Resource Management in India's Public Health Services: A View from the Front Lines

There is building evidence in India that the delivery of health services suffers both from an actual shortfall in trained health professionals and from unsatisfactory results of existing service providers working in the public and private sectors. This study focuses on the public sector and examines de facto institutional and governance arrangements that may give rise to well‐documented provider behaviors such as absenteeism that can adversely affect service delivery processes and outcomes. We analyze four human resource management (HRM) subsystems: postings, transfers, promotions and disciplinary practices from the perspective of front‐line workers—physicians working in rural healthcare facilities operated by two state governments. We sampled physicians in one “post‐reform” state that has instituted HRM reforms and one “pre‐reform” state that has not. The findings are based on both quantitative and qualitative measurements. The results show that formal rules are undermined by a parallel modus operandi in which desirable posts are often determined by political connections and side payments. The evidence suggests an institutional environment in which formal rules of accountability are trumped by a parallel set of accountabilities. These systems appear so entrenched that reforms have borne no significant effect. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Citizen Participation in City Governance: Experiences From Vietnam

The radical political and economic reforms sweeping through former socialist countries during the last several decades have facilitated economic growth and urbanization. During this period of market reform and urbanization, citizen participation is greatly needed yet easily lost to other priorities. We employ stakeholder theory to examine whether citizen participation differs between large and small cities and between the poor and non‐poor people in Vietnam. Using data from a sample of citizens in five centrally managed cities, we found that citizens in large cities and citizens that belong to “unofficially poor” groups participate less. For policy makers, this implies that citizen participation should be of central importance in the management of current cities' expansions. In addition, the categorization of “poor households” needs to be closely monitored to minimize the risk of de facto poor households being excluded from the group.
