论十六大的主旨与宪政的发展

十六大所确立的主题和基本内容 ,为建设以民主政治为核心的宪政国家指引了方向。十六大报告的主旨将在六个方面对宪政的发展产生影响 :小康社会初步奠定宪政的社会基础 ;扩大基层民主是宪政建设的立足点 ;完善财产制是对宪政经济基础的巩固 ;对权力的制约和监督以及推进司法体制改革是宪政必备的两个要素 ;解决“三农”问题和深化分配制度改革是宪政实施的社会环境保障。     

社会主义民主政治、政治文明与依法治国

党的十六大报告关于“发展社会主义民主政治,建设社会主义政治文明,是全面建设小康社会的重要目标” 的科学论断,深刻揭示了社会主义民主政治、社会主义政治文明与依法治国的内在联系。在我国全面建设小康社会的伟大实践中发展社会主义民主政治,建设社会主义政治文明,最根本的是要把坚持党的领导、人民当家作主和依法治国有机统一起来,坚持中国特色社会主义政治建设和政治体制改革的发展方向。     

经济全球化对国内区域发展的影响

区域发展差距在中国是一个长期存在的问题,区域发展差距过大会威胁社会的稳定和国家统一。经济全球化既有利于我国的经济发展,也加大了我国国内地区发展的差距。由于国际环境中存在分裂势力,经济全球化也给我国的政治稳定和国家统一带来威胁。解决问题的思路是加快西部民族地区的经济发展和政治发展,缩小其与发达地区的差距,同时强化中央对边远民族地区的控制。

加快云南农村剩余劳动力流动转移步伐探讨

全面建设小康社会的重点和难点在农村,而解决农业问题的根本出路在于农村人口的非农化和向非农产业的转移。本文着重探讨了加快云南农村剩余劳动力流动转移的有效途径。     

关于增加农民收入的调查意见

1997年以来,大连市农民人均纯收入增长缓慢,其主要原因是:农业结构不合理,第二、第三产业发展缓慢,农村职业教育滞后,农民税后负担过重。为增加农民收入,必须调整优化农业结构,提高农业整体效益;大力发展第二、第三产业,加快捉村富裕劳动力转移;多给少取,切实减轻农民负担。     

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.
