努力提高党的执政创新能力

创新是一个国家兴旺发达的不竭动力,也是一个政党永葆生机的源泉。我们党以"三个代表"重要思想为指导,大力倡导的执政创新,主要包括执政理念、执政方式、执政环境、执政资源和执政队伍等方面的创新。

对“立党为公、执政为民”的几点重要思考

立党为公、执政为民是"三个代表"重要思想的本质要求,是无产阶级政党同一切剥削阶级政党的根本区别;唯物主义历史观和科学的价值观是立党为公、执政为民的理论基础;实现立党为公、执政为民必须坚持社会主义方向,必须把发展放在首位,必须转变干部作风,必须关心困难群体。     

古代中国的"无形政府"

古代中国的政治体系制度化程度很低,现实的政治运作大多依靠一些非正式的关系网络和潜在的权力中心在发挥作用,它们构成了古代中国的"无形政府"。在中央政府层级表现为君主身边的近臣和宦官,在地方政府层级表现为地方士绅和幕僚、书吏。无形政府的产生,主要源于古代中国道德化政治理念下的行政伦理,士族制度和科举制度构成其主要的社会基础。其传统余风所及,对当代中国政治也构成一定的影响。     

现代政治探要

德治与法治是构建现代政治实质内容不可或缺的两大支柱,强调坚持德治与法治的基本方略关键在于党,以"三个代表"的要求规范各级领导干部,是现代政治的社会主义形式在当代中国的表现形态,也是现代政治最终的理性归宿。     

心理测试技术与测谎

心理测试测试技木是一项新兴的刑事检验技术,而“测谎”则更多地出现在媒体上,为大众所广泛接受。“测谎”理论无法解释被测者在沉默状态下产生的情绪反应,而且容易引起被测者的反感,而心理测试技术理论,含盖了心理学中多方面的研究成果,已经从对谎言本身的探查中解脱出来。

Electoral engineering in Chile: the electoral system and limited democracy

On the eve of Chile's transition from military to elected government, the outgoing regime enacted an electoral engineering project intended to conserve the constitutional order it encoded in 1980. An analysis of 1989 and 1993 general elections shows that the way votes are translated into seats favors, as intended, the second largest electoral block, the Chilean Right. This bias, along with the number of appointed senators and the special majorities required for constitutional amendments, gives the Right a minority veto power on any reform initiative. Moreover, the electoral system produces incentives for parties, candidates and voters that enhances this balance of power. The role that the electoral system plays in Chile therefore consolidates a limited form of democracy, rather than a liberal one.     

Party opportunism among local politicians after Taiwan’s power transition

This paper probes into a hypothesised opportunism towards political party affiliation among local politicians in Taiwan since the power transition from Kuomintang (KMT) to Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) rule began in 2000. Longitudinal changes in election candidates' party affiliation are analysed to see what happened to the KMT's supposedly strong base of local politicians after the change of governing party. The research finds a generally high propensity of election candidates' changing or dropping their party affiliation between elections, and an increased propensity among KMT candidates after 2000. However, defections to other parties are more common in higher elections. In grassroots elections, many candidates flow in and out of their party affiliation depending on the political circumstances, but they rarely change party. Several years after the DPP gained power in presidential elections, the new ruling party is still struggling to build a strong local party organisation.
