政府职能社会化的现实基础与机制建设

政府职能社会化是政府权力向社会的转移,是社会发展的必然趋势。世界各国在处理政府与社会关系问题上,基本上有强政府弱社会、弱政府弱社会、弱政府弱社会、强政府强社会四种模式。经过几十年的改革和发展,我国已经具备了政府职能社会化的政治基础和经济条件,建立公民自主管理和完善公民参与机制是政府职能社会化的基础和保障。     

Identifying with the Nation: Spain's Left-Wing Citizens in an Age of Crisis

This study analyses the extent, sense, and strategies employed by sympathisers with Spanish state-wide left-wing parties to ‘reconstruct’ their affective ties with the Spanish nation after the ‘monopolisation of patriotism’ by Franco's regime. Such an undertaking is further complicated within the context of economic crisis and intensified peripheral nationalism found in Catalonia and the Basque Country. This article applies qualitative analysis to the discourse of left-wing participants from 11 focus groups held in March 2012 amidst the economic (and political) crisis. As expected, this context of crisis favoured the emergence of explicit discourse on the Spanish nation, providing an opportunity to gain a better understanding of its nature. Findings show that welfare nationalism and social patriotism define the kind of attachment developed by the interviewees towards Spain better than the concept of constitutional patriotism, or any kind of ethnic-cultural feeling of belonging.     

Poverty amid plenty: structural violence and local governance in western Congo

The protracted conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has drawn sharp criticism regarding the model of liberal peacebuilding employed in the country. Critics emphasise the importance of local ownership of peacebuilding mechanisms at sub-national as well as national levels. This raises questions in relation to the popular legitimacy and efficacy of local mechanisms. Drawing on field research conducted in the relatively affluent province of Bas-Congo in Western Congo, this article highlights a lack of popular legitimacy for provincial-level political authority within the province stemming from an acute marginalisation of the population from local structures of power and wealth. The article also demonstrates the inefficacy of more local, village and neighbourhood-based political structures which, aimed at conflict mitigation rather than transformation, ignore the structural roots of local conflicts and do little to counteract the growing social distrust, conflict and disintegration within local communities.     

完善干部选拔任用工作中的民主监督

近年来按照中央的部署和要求,各地围绕实现干部工作科学化、民主化、制度化的目标,以贯彻执行《党政干部选拔任用条例》和党风廉政建设的各项要求为着力点,促进了各项监督工作任务的落实。但是从监督的实际效果及其在整个干部工作中的地位看,还存在许多深层次的矛盾和监督中的新问题。因此,在干部监督中必须有进有退、上下互动,创新监督工作思路;必须扩大公开、推进民主,夯实监督工作基础;必须通盘运筹、科学设计,提高制度建设水平;必须明确界定、权责对称,强化“一把手”的监督。

形式化与合法性——城市社区基层制度结构的变动及功能解释

随着城市规模的迅速扩张,国家行政干预力量也在逐渐减弱,社区自治有了新的可能。但是,我国各地的民主自治基本还处于"形式化"的初级阶段,社区成员的社区自治意识淡薄,参与能力欠缺,这是影响和阻碍基层民主建设的重要因素;社区民主自治发展程度取决于城市财政支持力度、居民参与积极性和热情,以及行政执行力和社区干部的工作能力。总体来看,社区民主自治是一场由政府推动的民主化运动,因此它的合法性也就来自于政府。     

网络组党结社与国家政治安全

网络组党结社是信息化时代秘密结社的一种新型组织形态，具有政治诉求多元、组织发展隐秘、活动方式多变以及成员结构复杂等特性，在一定程度上对国家政治安全有着潜在的威胁和现实危害。分析其活动方式，把握其发展趋势，在此基础上将网络组党结社活动控制在有关职能部门的视线范围内，并依法打击其非法活动，对于维护社会政治稳定和国内安全具有较强的理论意义与现实意义。     

浅谈职务犯罪的预防

职务犯罪是腐败的集中体现,也是当前较为突出的现象。在加强教育,廉洁自律,使职务犯罪"不想为";健全制度,完善监督,使职务犯罪"不能为"的同时,还要加大打击力度,强化警示作用,坚决惩治腐败,使职务犯罪"不敢为"。只有坚持预防与打击相结合,治标与治本并举,才能从根本上防止腐败现象的发生,有效地减少和遏制职务犯罪。建立高度透明的民主政治制度,是杜绝腐败现象,遏制职务犯罪的根本途径。

The Latvian student corps and politics in the inter-war period of the twentieth century

Abstract

To date, Latvia's student corps have remained a neglected topic in the country's political history, notwithstanding the size of these organisations and the fact that they have been in existence for more than a century. Those accounts that do exist have for the most part been written by corps members themselves, and have not included any real analysis of the corps' interaction with society or their role in Latvian political life. A study of these issues opens up new avenues towards a better understanding of the activity and influence of interest groups in Latvian politics during the 1920s and 1930s. Unlike many other social organisations, the student corps (also including the alumni societies) are often seen as linked to the activity of the major parties, to the coup d'état of 1934 and to radical Latvian nationalism.
