公共精神--公共行政发展的内在价值诉求

公共精神就是存在于公民社会之中的一种关心公共事务,并愿意致力于公共生活的改善和公共秩序的建构,以营造适于人类生存与发展的伦理规范、政治价值和社会制度。公共行政的内在本质、功能以及其合法性基础都充分彰显了对公共精神的内在需要。然而,目前处于转轨时期的我国公共行政面临着“公共精神”的乏弱。因此,须重塑公共行政的民主、法治、公正、服务、责任、参与精神,提升公共行政精神的现实路径是对传统公共精神资源的批判性反思与传承、公民美德的教育和行政人员公共精神的重点培育;公民社会的构建和非政府组织的规范发展;民主政治的不断完善推动“善政”走向“善治”。     

中国古代乡村基层组织建设的史鉴管窥

中国古代是以农立国的农本国家,十分重视基层组织的建设。从周之乡遂到明清保甲,辗转相承,代有兴革,绵延不绝,积累了极其丰富的乡村基层组织建设的实践经验,为确保基层的和谐稳定和实现国家的稳固发展打下了坚实的基础。这些弥足珍贵的实践经验,对中国古代社会巩固基层、维持治安、寓教于民、保障民生、自治自立有着重要的现实意义,也对今天构建共建共治共享的现代基层社会治理新格局和全面推进乡村振兴战略具有重要的史鉴价值。     

Rival Transnational Networks,Domestic Politics and Indonesian Timber

Scholars interested in the promotion of “good governance” and those interested in transnational advocacy networks both are concerned with the potential power of external actors to alter domestic political structures. This article analyses the networks promoting neo-liberalisation and democratic practices in Indonesia's forestry sector as rival transnational networks. The analysis finds that the Asian economic crisis and collapse of the Suharto regime provided a political opening for alliances between the two rival networks that helped to bring down the ruling oligarchy in timber, but the power of domestic oligarchs controlling the sector remains strong. In brief, there are limits to the power of both external networks vis-à-vis domestic power relations. Given the financial resources and constraints on non-governmental organisations, they may be unable to alter the deep structures of capitalist accumulation and distribution based in Indonesia's forest resources.     

The dispositions of ‘Good’ citizenship: Character,symbolic power and disinterest

Abstract

The problems of determining citizenly competence and finding an appropriate balance between public and private life have increasingly organized intellectual debate in civil society. Although civic republicans and liberals give different answers to these problems, they both claim that ‘character’ should be a necessary foundation for good citizenship. This article identifies a tension between character's analytical status as a category of explanation and its normative status as a moral category. Although most civic republicans and liberals recognize that the concept of character is socially constructed, the concept typically appears as a pre-political good whose social origins are hypostatized or forgotten. This article uses the sociological insights of Pierre Bourdieu in order to explain how character simultaneously appears as a social construct and as a moral good by exploring how the concept is mobilized by civic republicans and liberals as a solution to the problem of ‘good’ citizenship. The goal of the article is three-fold: first, to use Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, field and symbolic power to clarify the analytical and normative aspects of the concept of character and its relation to citizenship and civil society; second, to demonstrate how power shapes and conditions character formation in civil society; and third, to offer an account of the practical means by which character is promoted by civic republicans and liberals as a solution to the challenges facing civil society.     

FAITH,PUBLIC POLICY,AND THE LIMITS OF SOCIAL SCIENCE*

Recent interest on the part of criminologists in the “faith factor” has made possible a contemporary argument for faith‐based interventions in crime prevention: if faith “works,” then government should support faith‐based initiatives because in doing so, government is not endorsing religion, but science. Drawing on the ideas of Karl Popper, Michael Polanyi, and others, this essay reviews this argument within the framework of the philosophy of social science. The discussion reviews such concepts of falsification, structural causality, objectivity, and evidence‐based policy making to affirm the place of both faith and science in public life.     

法律不能被信仰的理由

伯尔曼“法律必须被信仰,否则将形同虚设”被中国法律界学者广泛认同,并认为中国现阶段法律不能得到倚重和尊重,关键就是人们没有“法律信仰”。“法律信仰”是一个错误命题,法律不能被信仰在于法律不能成为被信仰的对象,法律至上的追求不等于“法律信仰”,中国的法治现状与西方的法治现状存在根本差别,倡导“法律信仰”是将中国法治引入误区并会带来危害,它转移了社会价值危机的视线并混淆了信仰与权威的界限,是一个不适合中国国情的理念。     

行政法诚信原则的内涵分析——以民法诚信原则为参照

鉴于诚实信用私法原则引入公法的特殊背景,不同法系的私法学者就该原则的内涵存在争议的现象必会在公法领域有所体现,由此为公法领域解释诚信原则带来困难。私法诚信原则的基本内涵可概括为善意真诚、恪守信用和公平合理,以此为基础,可以大致分析出诚信原则在行政法中的具体内涵。     

和谐社会：政府从治理到菩治的价值转向

"善治"与公众回应

“治理”是一种新的管理理念和管理过程,“善治”是“治理”的有效状态。要实现“善”,需不断加强公众的群体基础、扩大公众政治参与权利、提高公众政治参与能力。“善治”与公众回应关系的探究,有着深刻的内在机理。
