程序公正的价值——兼议实体公正与程序公正冲突的解决

实现公正是法哲学的核心问题。在我国推进法治建设的今天,尤其是目前正处在转型时期,各种利益纠缠在一起,在这样一个价值观剧烈冲突、客观标准剧烈变动,对于实体是否公正不好判断的情况下,程序上的公正就尤为重要了。实体公正与程序公正发生冲突时,应有正确的价值选择以期实现司法公正,实现我国社会主义法治。

从汶川地震危机管理看中国政府形象塑造的新思路

公共危机是政府形象管理的关键点,对政府形象有正向或负向的放大作用,也为政府形象的重塑创造了机遇。汶川地震为政府形象重塑提供机遇、条件和选择上的新路径,即信息的公开透明、科学的媒体管理、塑造真实的领导人和英雄形象、双向平等沟通的传播路径和不再打造政府全知全能的神话、加紧构建政府问责制、吸纳社会力量参与的管理路径。从中反映出政府以人为本、重视责任和回应、注意依法行政的行政价值取向。要对危机后政府形象的巩固与完善,还需建设法治政府,将政府形象管理的新举措制度化、常态化;建设现代行政文化,从根本上转变公众对政府的成见;增强公关意识,提高政府形象设计和形象传播水平;总结和推广成功经验,加强政府形象的综合研究。     

Testing the input-process-output model of public participation

The characteristics of participatory institutions can be articulated in three main dimensions: input, process and output. The common assumption is that a dependency relationship exists, with process serving as a mediator between input and output. This paper puts the model to a rare empirical test drawing on a unique dataset of 70 Spanish advisory councils. Through a combination of exploratory factor and path analyses, we analyse the dimensionality of input, process and output and investigate the direct and indirect impact of inputs on process and outputs. Our analysis provides evidence that input factors have a direct impact on the output factor transparency, but their impact on effects on policy and participant satisfaction is mediated by the process factor deliberation. Further, the capacity of the public administration to steer the advisory council (wardship) mediates negatively the impact of input variables on transparency. The analysis provides a nuanced account of how different input and process design characteristics of participatory institutions have profound direct and indirect effects on their outputs.     

Agencies without borders: Explaining partner selection in the formation of transnational agreements between regulators

Transnational collaboration between regulatory agencies has proliferated rapidly within the last three decades. However, given that information regarding the motives, trustworthiness, and capabilities of potential partners is typically imperfect, decisions about with whom to collaborate are inevitably characterized by a degree of uncertainty. To better capture these dynamics, this article uses a network analytical perspective and hypothesizes that agencies are more likely to form agreements with agencies to whom they are already indirectly connected (transitivity), that are highly connected (preferential attachment), or with whom they share tie-characteristics (assortativity). To test these hypotheses, a stochastic actor-oriented model is used to analyze an original, self-coded data set in which bilateral information exchange agreements between national securities agencies (n = 143) are mapped out over a 18-year period. The results show that the formation of agreements between regulatory agencies is driven by (i) the number of shared partners (i.e. triadic closure); and (ii) similarity regarding agency characteristics (i.e. homophily).     

演化经济学视角下的中国特色政党制度分析

本文借鉴演化经济学关于路径依赖、制度创新与制度演化的理论,分析了中国特色政党制度的变迁历史及其存在问题,认为在中国特色政党制度的演化过程中,中国共产党作为执政党,充当了制度演化的主体,影响着中国特色政党制度的发展进程和发展方向.要保持中国特色政党制度的生命力,使其沿着正确的路径发展演化,避免由于错误决策而导致制度出现路径拐点,就必须进行制度建设和制度创新,完善政党组织架构,强化正确的演化路径,维护制度的稳定性.     

刑罚变更执行监督存在的问题及完善

对刑罚执行变更活动实行监督是法律赋予检察机关的一项重要法律监督职能,实践中,由于目标价值的缺失、立法滞后等原因,导致刑罚变更执行监督职能弱化,影响了监督效果的实现。因此,有必要深入研究制约刑罚变更执行监督有效开展的原因,构建科学、合理的刑罚变更执行监督机制,以充分发挥检察机关的法律监督职能。     

我国法官自由裁量制度建设的制约因素和路径选择

法官自由裁量权有其存在的合理性与必要性,但极易被滥用。应当通过立法来确认和保障法官自由裁量权,并对其加以限制;建立有效的社会监督机制;实现法官队伍的精英化;建立健全滥用自由裁量权的救济制度。     

走向环境治理的多元共治模式:现实挑战与路径选择

党的十九大报告针对生态文明建设提出了“构建政府、企业、社会和公众共同参与的环境治理体系”的指导思想,倡导在环境保护与环境治理领域引入共建共治共享的理念,打造基于多元主体共同参与的新型环境治理模式,为解决日益复杂化和动态化的环境治理问题提供了新思路,也为全球生态环境治理贡献了中国智慧。实践中,多元共治模式面临着环境治理权力结构安排不尽科学合理、跨部门治理主体间信息共享和协调性差、政府监管的权威性和有效性不足、企业主体性作用发挥不够以及社会力量参与的有效性和有序化偏低等诸多挑战。为此,需要从厘清多元主体职责分工、创新生态服务投入机制、优化环境治理协同机制、提升政府环境监管效能、引导社会力量有序有效参与等方面完善相应的制度安排,以推动新型环境治理体系高效运转起来。
