科学发展观视阈下城乡一体化基层党建新格局构建研究——以北京市朝阳区常营乡为例

"构建城乡统筹的基层党建新格局"理应包括广大新兴农村城市化地区的基层党建这个层面,也即"城乡一体化基层党建",它的构建具有切实的紧迫性与必要性。文章对北京常营乡"村居合一"的城乡一体化基层党建新格局进行了挖掘和研究,总结了其构建途径、实施效果和创新特色,并提出了三点对策,即以科学发展观为灵魂,以地区实际为出发点,以自身建设为落脚点,构建城乡一体化基层党建新格局。

The effectiveness of NGO self‐regulation: theory and evidence from Africa

Non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) play an increasingly important role in public service provision and policy making in sub‐Saharan Africa, stimulating demand for new forms of regulatory oversight. In response, a number of initiatives in NGO self‐regulation have emerged. Using cross‐national data on 20 African countries, the article shows that self‐regulation in Africa falls into three types: national‐level guilds, NGO‐led clubs and voluntary codes of conduct. Each displays significant weaknesses from a regulatory policy perspective. National guilds have a broad scope, but require high administrative oversight capacity on the part of NGOs. Voluntary clubs have stronger standards but typically have much weaker coverage. Voluntary codes are the most common form of self‐regulation, but have the weakest regulatory strength. This article argues that the weakness of current attempts to improve the accountability and regulatory environment of NGOs stems in part from a mismatch between the goals of regulation and the institutional incentives embedded in the structure of most self‐regulatory regimes. The article uses the logic of collective action to illustrate the nature of this mismatch and the tradeoffs between the potential breadth and strength of various forms of NGO self‐regulation using three detailed case studies.

Regulating Autonomy: An Assessment of Policy Language for Highly Automated Vehicles

Self‐driving cars (also known as driverless cars, autonomous vehicles, and highly automated vehicles [HAVs]) will change the regulatory, political, and ethical frameworks surrounding motor vehicles. At the highest levels of automation, HAVs are operated by independent machine agents, making decisions without the direct intervention of humans. The current transportation system assumes human intervention though, including legal and moral responsibilities of human operators. Has the development of these artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous system (AS) technologies outpaced the ethical and political conversations? This paper examines discussions of HAVs, driver responsibility, and technology failure to highlight the differences between how the policy‐making institutions in the United States (Congress and the Public Administration) and technology and transportation experts are or are not speaking about responsibility in the context of autonomous systems technologies. We report findings from a big data analysis of corpus‐level documents to find that enthusiasm for HAVs has outpaced other discussions of the technology.     

民族自治地方变通立法与经济特区变通立法比较研究

立法变通权是我国法律赋予民族自治地方和经济特区特有的权力。民族自治地方变通立法是基于国家基本政治制度之一的民族区域自治制度的职权立法。经济特区变通立法是为了改革和发展需要,由全国人大授权经济特区的授权立法。二者在客观依据、法律性质、立法主体、权限、范围和程序等方面都存在着显著差别。     

论自动驾驶汽车生产者的刑事责任

自动驾驶汽车是人类研发、制造、使用和管理的智能产品,不是犯罪主体或刑事责任主体。在自动驾驶汽车自主控制状态下发生交通事故的,其生产者、使用者和其他人员难以按照我国现有刑法的罪名定罪处罚。除非道路交通安全法和刑法有专门的规定,驾驶位人员不接管汽车或接管后无力改变交通事故结果的,不构成交通肇事罪或其他管理过失犯罪。驾驶位人员的注意义务是阻止自动驾驶汽车自主控制下发生交通事故,其注意义务不应过高。允许的风险、紧急避险理论不能为自动驾驶汽车紧急路况处理算法的生产与应用提供合法、合理的解决方案,生产者遵守算法安全标准仅可以使生产行为合法化。鉴于现行刑法不适应自动驾驶汽车应用的特性,我国应当建立以生产者全程负责为中心的新刑事责任体系,使之在自动驾驶汽车生产和应用两个阶段承担安全管理责任,生产者拒不履行自动驾驶汽车应用安全管理义务且情节严重的,应当承担刑事责任。     

农村土地承包经营权流转中赔偿责任机制研究

政府和集体组织经常对市场主体的交易行为作出具有一定事实上强制性的引导,在农地流转领域,类似的违法性引导时有发生,但目前的民事和行政诉讼难以将政府和集体组织纳入到被引导方发起的索赔诉讼中,本文建议立法通过建立经济法责任的方式,在一次诉讼中集中化解各方主体的利益纠纷,不仅保护农民等市场主体的利益,强化了政府等单位的市场引导行为的合法性意识,而且也降低诉讼成本,防止群体性事件的发生。     

和谐语境下社会公益权研究——公益诉讼中社会中间层角色考量

在建设和谐社会的背景下,对公共利益的救济成为关注的焦点问题。公共利益是公益诉讼的利益源头,以利益出发,对公共利益进行法权凝练,进而建构社会公益权这种新型的权利,并以此为权利契机,对公益诉讼的主体进行分析,赋予社会中间层组织以原告资格,是对现有权利体系与诉讼制度的完善与修正。     

Accountability Standards for Nonprofit Organizations: Do Organizations Benefit from Certification Programs?

Stakeholders are demanding nonprofit organizations (NPOs) continually improve and work effectively in an ever-changing environment. While there are many ways to approach this operational challenge, this paper examines the impact of acquiring an accountability certification, specifically the Standards for Excellence® Certification. Using a sample of 102 NPOs that have received the Standards for Excellence certification, we find that the certification is associated with increases in public support relative to a control group that did not receive the certification. These results suggest that some stakeholders favorably respond to the certification process, and NPOs can realize tangible benefits from becoming certified.     

高校社团组织管理之思考:以社会转型为视域

改革开放以来,高校非政府组织得到了迅速发展,尤其是各种类型的高校社团组织不断发展壮大,但由于种种原因,高校社团组织在管理方面还存在着政策规定不到位、管理指导不到位等问题,在一定程度上有被境外敌对势力渗透利用的危险。因此,高校学生社团组织管理是一项系统工程,应从完善政策规定、强化分类整合、规范管理指导、增强防范意识等方面入手,才能在当前社会大发展的时代背景下,努力实现高校社团工作的新发展、新突破。
