Far from Home: Conservative Leadership Selection from Heath to Cameron

The Conservative Party is the oldest of the 'mainstream' British parties, but has only elected its leader since 1965. In this article, I explain the variety of methods used by the Party to select its leader and assess the impact of 'democratisation' over time. I begin by examining the informal 'system', known as the 'magic circle', which existed until 1965, and explain how and why it came to be abandoned. I then discuss the six elections between 1965 and 1997, when the Tory leader was chosen exclusively by the Party's MPs. Finally, I assess the impact of the 'Hague rules', according to which Party members have the final say, between their adoption in 1998 and the election of David Cameron in 2005.     

Explaining non‐participation in deliberative mini‐publics

This article investigates citizens’ refusal to take part in participatory and deliberative mechanisms. An increasing number of scholars and political actors support the development of mini‐publics – that is, deliberative forums with randomly selected lay citizens. It is often argued that such innovations are a key ingredient to curing the democratic malaise of contemporary political regimes because they provide an appropriate means to achieve inclusiveness and well considered judgment. Nevertheless, real‐life experience shows that the majority of citizens refuse the invitation when they are recruited. This raises a challenging question for the development of a more inclusive democracy: Why do citizens decline to participate in mini‐publics? This article addresses this issue through a qualitative analysis of the perspectives of those who have declined to participate in three mini‐publics: the G1000, the G100 and the Climate Citizens Parliament. Drawing on in‐depth interviews, six explanatory logics of non‐participation are distinguished: concentration on the private sphere; internal political inefficacy; public meeting avoidance; conflict of schedule; political alienation; and mini‐public's lack of impact on the political system. This shows that the reluctance to take part in mini‐publics is rooted in the way individuals conceive their own roles, abilities and capacities in the public sphere, as well as in the perceived output of such democratic innovations.

社会转型中法官法治思维养成困境及路径探究

社会转型中,作为法律职业者之一的法官群体,如何去考量法治思维的因素倍加值得关注与重视,由于受限于现实司法体制、根植于传统司法文化、纠结于多种思维影响之间,法官法治思维的养成仍存诸多困境。立足于对所在区域法院展开一定实证调研和引入相关心理学、教育学知识的基础上,探索建构我国法官法治思维养成的路径既有强烈的现实需求,又有深远的指引意义。完善制度建设、强化思维训练、改进教育培训乃是三种路径的基本设想。     

关于改进和完善竞争性选拔干部方式的几点思考

竞争性选拔是干部选拔任用的重要方式之一,在促进干部队伍中优秀人才脱颖而出方面发挥了积极作用,但也存在着一些不容忽视的问题,为此,应在明确职能定位、确定适用标准、抓好关键环节、完善监督机制、构建制度体系等方面下功夫,在实践中努力改进和完善竞争性选拔干部方式。     

党员干部思想道德教育与党的纯洁性建设

党的十八大将纯洁性建设确定为党的建设的主线,这就意味着党的纯洁性建设成为时代课题。党员干部思想道德教育与党的纯洁性建设之间存在着密切的联系,党员干部思想道德教育既是党的思想纯洁的重要保证,又是保持党的政治纯洁的重要手段。要找准二者的结合点,确定适当的教育内容,通过加强制度建设,保持党员干部思想道德教育的一贯性,促进党的纯洁性建设。     

从党面对的四大考验看从严治党的路径

中国共产党是一个经历了90年风风雨雨考验的伟大的党,在21世纪第二个十年开始的今天,依然面临着种种考验,主要包括执政考验、改革开放考验、市场经济考验、外部环境考验。这四个考验带来四个绕不开:长期执政会不会使党变质的问题绕不开,市场经济会不会使党内形成既得利益集团的问题绕不开,改革开放会不会使党丧失先进性的问题绕不开,外部环境会不会使党迷失方向的问题绕不开。为此必须始终坚持从严治党,同时要不断有新思路、新办法、新途径。     

To Give or Not to Give: Modeling Individuals' Contribution Decisions

Employing data from a recent national survey on campaign finance, we examine the contribution behavior of individual citizens in the 2000 election. By disaggregating types of contributions, our model enables us to observe potential heterogeneity in the determinants of giving money to parties and candidates. We find that for both types of contributions, the effects of informational resources and solicitation on the decision to contribute outweigh those of financial resources. In addition, we propose both a theoretical and an empirical distinction between the selection effects of solicitation and the stimulus effects of solicitation. By distinguishing between these dual dimensions of solicitation, our analysis provides new insight into the causal linkages between income, solicitation, and contributions. We find that while solicitation increases the likelihood of contributing through selective targeting or rational prospecting, it also does so through a stimulus mechanism.
