双向汲取:社区社会组织的行动路径分析

社会组织是推动国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的重要力量。聚焦社会组织行动策略研究,能够更好地揭示外部制度环境制约下的社会组织参与基层社会治理的微观运行机制。运用"制度环境-行动策略-行动目标-行动任务"的分析框架,着重探讨社会组织与基层政府、社区居委会、社区居民之间的复杂互动关系,剖析复杂制度环境下社会组织行为策略选择及其多元化行动路径。S市G组织的个案研究表明,G组织通过"双向汲取"的行动策略能够实现社会组织行政性目标与社会性目标的双重目标达成。由于G组织接受任务的不同行动目标来源以及不同任务之间的相关性程度差异,使得G组织"双向汲取"行动策略呈现出复杂制度结构约束下的多元化行动路径。     

Navigating the dilemmas of politically smart,locally led development: the Pacific-based Green Growth Leaders’ Coalition

Abstract

Iterative approaches to development under banners such as ‘thinking and working politically’ and ‘doing development differently’ build upon decades-old commitments to fostering locally led and -owned development. These approaches are increasingly popular with academics and development practitioners. In this paper we argue that outsiders seeking to deliver locally led, politically smart programmes need to either accept that competing priorities, results and values will work to limit the extent of true local ownership, or be sufficiently committed to true local leadership to accept that this may well cut against organisational imperatives. Using the example of the Pacific-based Green Growth Leaders’ Coalition, we discuss how politically tricky partnerships challenge tenets of local leadership and ownership.     

互联网金融视域下的类资产证券化:交易模式、金融异化与监管逻辑

为了规避监管或监管套利,互联网金融的类资产证券化创设了新的交易模式与法律结构:债权拆分流转、信托受益权拆分流转和资产收益权拆分流转。这突破传统的法律权利类型与法律边界,改变了传统的公募、私募监管逻辑,相关法律规制面临冲击和重构。对实质开展互联网资管业务的非金融类机构监管等领域的法律滞后与模糊,造成事实上的监管真空,引发金融乱象。金融监管应坚持实质重于形式的监管原则,强化穿透式监管,厘清互联网金融创新的法律边界,推进央地监管分工的法治化、体系化,消除监管空白,避免泛化式、运动式监管。     

Save the kids: The need for regulation of cryptocurrency to protect adolescents from fraud

Cryptocurrency has become the new hot investment for young investors. Everyone wants to get in on the next cryptocurrency bubble, and there are those that want to exploit this excitement and exploit children. Influencers who have young audiences are pushing cryptocurrency investments onto their audiences and not fully educating them on the risks. To avoid this exploitation, The Securities and Exchange Commission should actively regulate decentralized exchanges where children purchase cryptocurrency, put age limit regulations into place, and require know your customer systems to verify that minors are not purchasing cryptocurrency without the consent of a guardian.     

The Impact of Funding Modalities on the Performance of Indigenous Organisations

Governments’ choice of funding modality can produce powerful incentives for organisations to perform in preferred ways, but it can also divert limited resources, narrow accountability, and undermine capability. Through literature review and interviews, the research explored the international literature on public finance management in developing country contexts, and compared this to case studies of Indigenous organisations. The situation in Australia was found to differ in three ways: (1) performance indicators are imposed, rather than negotiated; (2) few existing public funding modalities reward performance or provide incentives; and (3) funding arrangements do not generally require receiving organisations to be accountable to their constituents. Stability and durability of funding modalities, and clarity in functions and jurisdictional boundaries, were also found to positively influence performance. Further research is required to design new performance frameworks that build around the organisation, rather than the grant, with indicators of governance capability and downward accountability to constituents.     

Environmental Harm or Natural Hazard? Problem Identification and Adaptation in U.S. Municipal Climate Action Plans

A number of cities in the United States have devised climate action plans (CAPs) to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, few of these plans address strategies to adapt to the long term effects of climate change that will occur in the near and distant future. The research presented in this article examines why cities choose to embed adaptation provisions in their CAPs. Our study codes the content of CAPs for all cities (N = 98) in the United States with populations greater than 50,000. We find cities that frame problems associated with climate change in the language of hazards are more likely to include adaptation strategies in their CAPs than cities that focus on other types of environmental harm. Our findings suggest that more robust efforts to plan for climate change will require the activation of communities of interest beyond those that have been instrumental in setting the current climate agenda.     

When actions speak louder than words: examining collective political protests in Central Asia

What explains the dynamics of contentious collective political action in post-Soviet Central Asia? How do post-Soviet Central Asian citizens negotiate the tensions between partaking in and abstaining from elite-challenging collective protests? By analysing cross-national attitudes in two Central Asian states, this article (1) systematically analyses the variation in collective protests by testing rival macro-, meso-, and micro-level theories; (2) reintroduces a conceptual and empirical distinction between low-risk and high-risk collective protests; and (3) examines the conditions under which individuals participate in two distinct types of elite-challenging collective actions. Three conclusions are reached. First, the evidence suggests that nuanced consideration of multi-level theoretical perspectives is necessary to explain contingencies of elite-challenging actions. Second, economic grievances and resource mobilization emerge as leading factors driving both low-risk and high-risk protests. Third, Islamic religiosity and social networking robustly predict participation in high-risk collective action.     

论公司法上补充责任的共同诉讼形态——以类似必要共同诉讼为出发点

补充责任的共同诉讼形态一直是理论争议的焦点,而将类似必要共同诉讼合一确定的范围扩及逻辑上有合一确定必要之情形,有助于该问题的解决。类似必要共同诉讼适用范围之扩张,使其不再局限于诉讼标的同一,以既判力扩张为合一确定判断标准的观点也应得到修正。在债权人先单独起诉股东时,因具备逻辑上合一确定之必要而应赋予债权人追加公司参与诉讼的权利。公司、股东作为共同诉讼人,对债权债务这一基础事实所采取的有利诉讼行为及于全体,所有不利诉讼行为仅及于自己。     

以两起案例为视角谈公民行政公益诉讼原告资格

一、案情简介 【案例1】沈某诉浙江省桐乡市国税局行政不作为案： 浙江省桐乡市沈某获悉该市某建材厂存在严重的偷逃税款行为．便署名向当地国税局举报,但过了三四个月也未见对此事查处的结果与回音．沈某遂起诉状告国税局行政不作为。2000年11月21日,桐乡市人民法院一纸裁定“被告桐乡市国税局是否履行税务稽查的行为,既未侵犯原告的利益,也未对原告的权利义务产生实际的影响”驳回沈某起诉。     

论公证邮寄送达催收通知能否发生诉讼时效中断

实践中,债权人通过邮寄的方式,向债务人或者担保人进行邮寄送达催收,并依法给予公证的做法是比较常见的。但是,由于我国现行法律没有对该公证邮寄送达催收通知的法律效力作出较为明确的规定,因此,笔者依据我国现行的法律及其司法解释、结合我国司法实践中两种比较常见的学术观点,适用民事诉讼证据中高度盖然性的证明标准,对公证邮寄送达催收通知能否发生诉讼时效中断的效力问题进行相应论述。
