预警救治恢复--政府危机管理机制探析

SARS疫情的爆发,对于我国政府是个极大的考验,从最初的仓促应战到后来的矫枉过正,充分暴露了我国政府管理体制中存在的诸多问题,我们应该从危机管理的角度,认真总结经验教训,把危机转化为工作的契机,切实推进我国政府危机管理机制的建设.危机管理不同于常态管理,有其自身的特点.依据危机周期的发展进程,危机管理机制主要包括预警机制、救治机制和恢复机制三个方面.为进一步建立和健全我国的政府危机管理机制,针对我国目前危机管理中存在的问题,当前必须努力做好转变政府职能、完善危机法律、公开公共信息以及加强社会组织建设四方面的工作.     

An Evaluation of Local Government Websites in New Zealand

Abstract

The study assesses the effectiveness of New Zealand local government Websites in providing equitable and appropriate access to government information. All local government Websites that could be identified were evaluated using 37 criteria, and visitors to approximately half of these sites were surveyed to determine their perceptions of the effectiveness of the sites. Results show that although there is a good range of information provided on the better sites, some smaller regional or district councils sites provide little in the way of basic information to their citizens. The study also found a limited range of transactional services available on New Zealand local government Websites, and a widespread lack of disabled-enabled access to sites, along with poor provision for user privacy and security. User comments focused on the need for more information and more up-to-date information to be provided, and better search facilities on sites. Although over 90% of users approached a particular site seeking specific information, less than half were able to find the information they sought. Significant indigenous and ethnic minority groups were underrepresented among users. The study concludes that there is room for considerable improvement in the use of the Web as a primary communication and transaction channel within the context of the government's vision for extending e-government in New Zealand to local government and Other agencies.     

American E-Government at the Crossroads

Abstract

This article reports analyses, findings, conclusions and implications about the first U.S. survey of Web sites of 223 major American cities with populations of 100,000 or more. The national survey sought to provide one of the most comprehensive reviews of, and current and future implications regarding, Web site uses by major cities as well as optimal uses by features and user benefits. It made concrete suggestions for future uses of governmental Web-strategy development. Completed in June 2001, the study sought particularly to evaluate how American cities are incorporating online services into their constituency services. Analyses and findings indicated that many major U.S. cities were advancing their e-gov-ernment initiatives and virtually all cities acknowledged the importance of a basic Web presence. However, a large gap still remained between current practice and Optimal, Ml online potential.     

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。     

论行政权限争议的宪法解决

行政权限争议是行政机关之间法定权力的争议,该争议的合理、有效解决直接关涉公民合法权益的保障与公共利益的增长。在“依法治国”、“依宪治国”的制度框架下,通过诉讼的动态范式。以宪法的至上权威调适该领域的权力纷争乃宪政、法治的应然内涵。     

国家侵权、国家责任与权利救济——以刑事侦查为视角

国家侵权与国家责任相连，国家责任与权利救济相决。刑事诉讼中侦查机关与刑事被追诉人所处地位不对等，使得刑事被追诉人权利容易受到侦查权的非法侵犯。刑事被追诉人享有救济权能够促成侦查权与被追诉人权利的相对平衡，保证被追诉人享有救济权是侦查机关的一种责任。     

社会中间层——经济法理论研究的崭新进路
