中西文化与文学的发展模式

中国文化是早熟的文化,为防止衰老而保持文化整体的灵活性、模糊性,在整体结构各部分的均衡、调和与相反相成中运行,注重继承性、连续性、传述性,构成了中国文化与文学的发展模式。西方文化作为一种正常发展的文化,必须时时否定旧有,其文化与文学是在整体结构各部分的精确性、片面性、极端性对立斗争中,以批判性、否定性与跳跃性的形式发展起来的。     

社会主义革命时期毛泽东对央地关系的探索及启示

社会主义革命时期,毛泽东高度重视中央和地方关系,他对正确处理中央和地方关系的探索经历了三个重要阶段:新中国成立初期,毛泽东根据中国各地经济社会发展不平衡的现实条件,提出了统一与因地制宜相结合的原则,促进了国家整合、政权巩固和经济恢复;社会主义改造开始时,他主张学习苏联,进一步加强中央权力;社会主义改造后期,针对经济建设当中出现的诸多问题,他开始反思高度集中的领导体制,倡导放权给地方,发挥中央和地方两个积极性。毛泽东对中央和地方关系的处理,既表现出了较强的灵活性,又坚持了基本的政治原则,并注重学习借鉴外国的经验教训。他在探索中形成的实践经验和理论认识对于当代中国的国家治理具有重要的启示意义。     

地方政府投融资平台公司债务风险治理的私法向度简

地方政府投融资平台公司的设立是政府的一种行政私法行为，即行政主体为了达到公法上的目的而从事的私法活动。投融资平台公司功能的充分发挥吁求政府进行弱行政化治理，赋予平台公司更多的市场自主性，促使投融资平台公司在参与市场竞争以及承担政府职责之间寻得平衡。国发[2010]19号文件创设了清理地方投融资平台公司的有益机制。借由公司法以及担保法等民事立法向度，我们可以寻觅到治理地方政府违规担保、债务主体不明、滥发企业债券、混淆企业债务与政府债务等问题的路径，进而构建防治债务风险之体系。     

当代中国法律史学研究方法的分析

当代中国法律史研究经过"前十七年"(1949-1966)"文革十年"(1966-1977)与"改革开放"(1978-至今)三个阶段。由于研究方法的不同,每个时期的研究成果都呈现出不同的特点。"前十七前"主要采用的"阶级分析"的方法曾对推动中国法律史的研究起到过重要作用,但"文革十年"中这一方法的绝对化却成为学术发展的桎梏。1978年"改革开放"以来,思想解放使学术研究方法多元化,中国法律史的研究也随着方法的多元而繁荣兴盛,与以往相比,研究成果剧增,多角度地探讨中国历史上的法律拓展了中国法律史的研究领域,但对研究方法的过度重视也带来研究中的其他问题。     

Into the sea: capacity-building innovations and the maritime security challenge

Abstract

Maritime security capacity-building is a growing field of international activity. It is an area that requires further study, as a field in its own right, but also as an archetype to develop insights for capacity-building and security sector reform in other arenas. This article is one of the first to analyse this field of activity. Our empirical focus is on the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region. Here, international actors have launched multiple capacity-building projects, initially in response to Somali piracy. We document the significance, extent and variety of capacity-building activities in this region and examine the ways in which capacity-building at sea has incorporated innovative characteristics that develop and expand the capacity-building agenda as traditionally understood. Our conclusion highlights the need to pay more attention to the maritime domain in international security and development studies and considers ways in which the maritime capacity-building experience may offer important lessons for other fields of international policy.     

地方政府间信息资源共享的推进机制研究

在中央-地方二层行政组织结构下,中央基于“权利-信息-系统”三要素构建的政务信息资源共享推进机制在地方遇到了推进不足、推进不均和推进不畅的困境。要建立“动力-资源-控制”三维地方政府间信息资源共享推进机制框架。地方政策引导在动力维度中发挥主要作用,人力资源是最重要的推进资源,完善的监督体系、明确的监督对象和严格的问责机制是主要的控制手段。出台地方性政策、加强信息人员培训、完善政治激励和问责机制更有利于地方政府间信息资源的共享。     

Contemporary Russian liberalism

This article analyzes contemporary Russian liberalism through the prism of competing trends of moderate pluralist and monistic radical thought. The author focuses particularly on the pluralist trend, less well known in the West, arguing that its prospects are more promising over the long term. Ideological and tactical differences within the liberal camp in Russia are compared with those in the West, both for the purpose of emphasizing that such differences are not unique to Russia and to show the connections between Russian and Western strands of liberal political thought.

Autonomy and Performance: Decentralization Reforms in Zhejiang Province,China

Decentralization reforms rarely live up to the high hopes and expectations of the reformers for a variety of reasons rooted in actions and omissions of the governments pursuing it or in the context in which it is undertaken. The paper examines the experience of Zhejiang Province where decentralization was successful in achieving and indeed exceeding initial expectations. The remarkable feature of its reforms was ‘performance‐based’ decentralization wherein localities showing superior performance were awarded additional autonomy at a faster speed while the rest were given additional support to build their capacity for assuming more responsibility in the future. To understand the effects of this unique pattern of decentralization, the paper compares the performance of participating and non‐participating counties under five waves of reforms between 1992 and 2008, based on indicators such as gross domestic product, industrial output and local government revenue. It finds that performance‐based decentralization not only helped overcome the problem of capacity deficits but also fostered capacity in weaker counties to assume more autonomy in the future. The paper confirms that speed and sequence of transfer of autonomy and responsibilities to local governments are as important as the content of decentralization.

Does anybody notice? How policy positions of coalition parties are perceived by voters

Does governing in coalitions affect how coalition parties’ policy positions are perceived by voters? In this article, the authors seek to understand the relationship between parties’ participation in coalition governments and their perception by voters. Policy positions are an important instrument through which parties compete for the support of voters. However, it is unclear to what extent voters can correctly perceive the positions of parties when they govern together with other coalition partners. It is argued here that because of the blurred lines of responsibility in multiparty cabinets, it is difficult for voters to correctly perceive the positions of coalition parties. What is more, it is expected that the internal functioning of coalition cabinets affects the extent to which coalition parties struggle to get their message out to voters. It is hypothesized in the article that intra‐cabinet conflict is negatively related to misperception. To test their theoretical expectations, the authors combine data on the left‐right policy positions of political parties from the Comparative Manifestos Project with data on how these positions are perceived by voters gathered from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems from 1996 to 2011. The findings shed light on the relationship between party competition and coalition governments, and its implications for political representation.
