Continuity,change, and priorities: The quality and use of regulatory analysis across US administrations

This paper compares the quality and use of regulatory analysis accompanying economically significant regulations proposed by US executive branch agencies in 2008, 2009, and 2010. We find that the quality of regulatory analysis is generally low, but varies widely. Budget regulations, which define how the federal government will spend money or collect revenues, have much lower‐quality analysis than other regulations. The Bush administration's “midnight” regulations finalized between Election Day and Inauguration Day, along with other regulations left for the Obama administration to finalize, tended to have lower‐quality analysis. Most differences between the Bush and Obama administrations depend on agencies' policy preferences. More conservative agencies tended to produce better analysis in the Obama administration, and more liberal agencies tended to do so in the Bush administration. This suggests that agencies more central to an administration's policy priorities do not have to produce as good an analysis to get their regulations promulgated.

“命案必破”辨思

公安部自2004年提出“命案必破”号召至今，期间几次重中其重要性与坚持的决心。地方公安机关也纷纷采取措施响应该号召，力求实现这一目标。实践表明，命案必破确在命案本身的侦破上；另一方面在带动其他案件的侦破以及提高打击刑事犯罪的整体能力上体现出了积极效果。命案的侦破不能逾越认识规律和正当法律程序这两个界限，否则“命案必破”号召的初衷将难以实现。

Bringing Political Science to Bear on Tropical Conservation

With the renewed international emphasis on governance for sustainable development, political scientists wishing to have an impact on global environmental problems will find significant opportunities to collaborate with practitioners. These collaborations can be very rewarding, but academics should enter them with their eyes open to the associated challenges. Bridging the worlds of research and practice entails tensions between what is true according to the research, and what is possible given the constraints of specific organizations; between the problems that practitioners need solved and the puzzles that researchers find appealing; and, importantly, between the divergent cultures that shape the expectations and incentives of academics and their counterparts.     

左琴科《一本浅蓝色的书》的两种改造

迫于时代的政治"大势",苏联幽默作家左琴科在其作品《一本浅蓝色的书》中做了"自我改造".改造之一是将他之前创作的幽默小说大量改写,变揭露为歌颂;改造之二是他在作品中大兴文体革新,将历史纳入文学,通过历史与现实的对照,无情揭示了现实的本相.因而改造的结果是,左琴科有意无意地坚守了自己的"道",作品也获得与"自我改造"宗旨既一致又矛盾的复杂意蕴.
