Discordant Allies: Trans-Tasman Relations in the Aftermath of the ANZUS Treaty, 1951–1955

Contrary to popular belief, the conclusion of the 1951 ANZUS Treaty did little to encourage an immediate closer political relationship between Australia and New Zealand. The Tasman powers disagreed on major strategic issues and cooperation was minimal (and in some cases entirely absent). Focusing on the development of trans-Tasman relations between 1951 and 1955, this article examines Australian and New Zealand views pertaining to the scope and implementation of the ANZUS Treaty, proposals for the Five Power Staff Agency in Southeast Asia, the “United Action” proposal during the 1954 Indochina Crisis and the “Operation Oracle” project during the 1954–1955 Quemoy–Matsu Crisis. This article advances the conclusion that Australia and New Zealand mainly disagreed on these issues due to competing views about their respective political relationships with the United States and Britain. In other words, in the immediate post-treaty period, closer trans-Tasman political relations were ultimately hindered by strong divisions over accepting the United States instead of Britain as the cornerstone of their respective foreign policies.

公共政策执行主体多元化及其外部条件的构建

传统的单一政策执行主体体制已面临越来越多的现实发展困境,再加上公共政策决策主体的多元化,政蓑执行主体多元化发展将成为必然选择。同时,为了保证多元政策执行主体体制有效性的发挥,构建一个与它相适应的外部社会条件将是前提条件和关键环节。

Bringing the British back in: Sephardim,Ashkenazi anti-Zionist Orthodox and the policy of Jewish unity

This article analyses the British role in establishing and maintaining a Jewish–Arab demarcation line by means of a policy of Jewish unity and by enabling Ashkenazi Zionist control of the Yishuv. In the first part, it analyses British policy towards the local Sephardi as well as the local Ashkenazi anti-Zionist Orthodox communities, both of which for different reasons did not neatly fit into the Jewish/Zionist–Arab binary. I argue that the British followed a policy of Jewish unity at the inception of the Mandate which they upheld repeatedly against Ashkenazi anti-Zionist Orthodox efforts and which by 1936 had created a truism enforcing a binary understanding of the conflict. In the second part, this article analyses the ways in which these communities presented themselves vis-à-vis the British. I argue that despite different strategies of maximizing their influence, both communities foundered on the existing power configurations.     

Towards universal health coverage in Zambia: impediments and opportunities

Universal health coverage has been given a prominent place in the post-2015 global development agenda, but there are concerns over its feasibility in low- and middle-income countries. This article assesses successive Zambian governments’ efforts to achieve this agenda. We discuss the recent restructuring of health governance to support policies that re-emphasise the social determinants of health and health equity. This includes a new Ministry of Community Development and Mother and Child Health alongside the Ministry of Health. We argue that recent innovations in policy and practice need to be extended to include ministries which focus on economic development.     

改革开放以来乡镇企业的发展特点与政策取向

乡镇企业的兴起、发展及改制是改革开放后中国农村经济社会变迁的一个重要方面。农村经济社会的内在需求,催生并推动着乡镇企业的发展;农村经济社会的外部压力,迫使乡镇企业改制并为统筹城乡发展艰难试水。在农村经济社会的内外因素影响下,乡镇企业的发展受制于国家与农民在政策取向上的一致或分歧。     

新形势下群众参与公共决策的路径探析

在公共决策中，群众既是决策实施的直接受益者，又是决策过程的重要参与者。新形势下充分发挥群众在公共决策中的作用，是党执政理念的具体体现，是新时期做好群众工作的现实要求，是新形势下加强和创新社会管理的迫切需要。充分发挥群众在公共决策中的参与作用，关键是要满足群众的知情权，提高群众的话语权，保障群众的监督权。各级党委政府要注重总结推广经验，健全完善制度机制，全面加强组织引导，努力营造良好的社会氛固。     

Prevention,Crime Control or Cash? Public Preferences Towards Criminal Justice Spending Priorities

We propose and test a new methodology to assess the public’s criminal justice spending priorities. Respondents are asked to trade‐off alternative crime prevention and control policies as well as a potential tax rebate. In a nationally representative sample, we found overwhelming support for increased spending on youth prevention, drug treatment for nonviolent offenders, and police. However, the median respondent would not allocate any new money to building more prisons and would not request a tax rebate if the money were spent on youth prevention, drug treatment, or police. At the margin, we estimate the public would receive $3.07 in perceived value by spending $1.00 on youth prevention; $1.86 in value for every dollar spent on drug treatment; and $1.76 for a dollar spent on police. However, the public would not spend more on prisons, deriving only 71 cents in value for every tax dollar spent.     

论货币政策的程序法规制

基于对货币财产权的保护以及实体法对货币政策规制存在固有缺陷,对货币政策进行程序法规制,是金融调控法治化的重点所在.货币政策的实施要以民主性和透明度为原则,同时货币政策目标制定、货币政策决策以及货币政策执行应该依据相应的法律程序.
