马克思主义哲学视野下的中国传统和谐思想

和谐思想是中国传统文化的精华,也是马克思主义哲学的精华。中国传统文化强调人与自然的和谐、人与人的和谐、人自我身心内外的和谐,以社会“普遍和谐”为最高理想。马克思主义哲学则是在科学的世界观和方法论的基础上为人类描绘了一幅和谐发展的美好蓝图。中国传统和谐思想与马克思主义和谐观的相通之处,可以为构建当代中国的新型发展模式提供有益的思想借鉴。     

物权公示的性质及价值

对于物权公示究竟是物权权利的公示还是物权变动行为的公示这一问题的妥善解决,将有助于确定物权公示制度的内容和范围,界定物权公示制度的概念,确定物权公示制度在物权法中的地位、物权公示是否为物权法的基本原则以及物权公示的效力。一个完善的物权法体系至少应具备基本的原则、全面的制度及应变的机能。     

黄遵宪警政改革思想的历史学分析

黄遵宪是中国近代著名的外交家、改革家、教育家,也是近代提出警政构想的著名人士。他立足晚清的治安现状,汲取早期改良派的警政思想,结合自己十多年海外生活的阅历,在认真研究、比较日本与西方警政制度的基础上,于维新运动期间比较系统地勾画出其警政建设的理论框架,并通过成立湖南保卫局来践行自己的警政构想,为清末民初警政制度的近代化起了推动性作用。     

Wealth Taxes: Stories, Metaphors and Public Attitudes

Wealth taxes are currently high on the policy agenda in Britain. These taxes will not be political sustainable without public support. However, evidence exists that indicates substantial public opposition to wealth taxes. For example, inheritance tax appears to provoke hostility among the public. Some observers have suggested that the way that wealth taxes are presented - particularly using stories and narratives - could enhance public support. This paper summarises focus group evidence on this suggestion. I report that using narratives and stories can have an impact, although this should not be overstated and much depends on how the narratives are shaped.     

Ordering Disorder – On the Perplexities of the Partnership Literature

The literature on public‐private partnerships (PPP) has proliferated in recent years. However, confusion about the actual meaning of PPP still abounds. As a consequence, contradicting findings and statements about PPP flourish in the literature. This article reviews the literature, and argues that there are different streams of PPP research which operate with qualitatively different notions of the PPP concept. Accordingly the literature is divided into four different PPP ‘approaches’. By doing so the article offers some clarification concerning an increasingly complex concept. The article concludes that an authoritative definition of PPP – one that can encompass all the different variations of the concept currently in use – is not logically possible.     

Political accountability,fiscal conditions and local government performance—cross‐sectional evidence from Indonesia

Why are some local governments more successful than others in managing resources and delivering services? And even more vitally, how can malfunctioning governments be reformed so that they perform their responsibilities more effectively? This article contributes to our understanding of theses overarching questions by exploring the interactions between political institutions and public sector performance in the context of decentralisation and local governance. It shows–both theoretically and empirically–that performance outcomes are determined by the extent to which people can hold their governments accountable through political institutions. The basic hypothesis underlying this research is that political accountability, either by encouraging sanctions upon non‐compliant public agents or simply by reducing the informational gap regarding government activities, will create forceful incentives for elected officials and civil servants to reduce opportunistic behaviour and improve performance. Using a cross‐sectional regression the hypothesis is empirically tested against evidence from newly empowered local governments in Indonesia. The empirical findings broadly support our hypotheses. Improved public services on the ground, both in terms of quantity and quality, require informed and well functioning decision‐making processes that allocate resources to priority areas that meet the demand of the broader community.

关于村民委员会职能问题的调查与研究

村民委员会是村民自治的主要载体 ,其职能主要是代表村民实行自治 ,其次是协助乡镇政府开展行政工作 ,自治职能应远较协助行政职能重要。但在不少农村地区 ,村民委员会的职能重心在很大程度上偏移了 ,协助行政的职能过度膨胀 ,而自治职能却被忽视 ,村民自治成了有名无实的空架子。村民委员会与乡镇政府的关系没有理顺 ,这是问题的症结所在。必须打破传统角色影响 ,改革现实体制 ,才能使村民委员会成为真正的自治组织。     

数字图像处理技术的优势

随着计算机应用软件多种类的开发 ,利用计算机来处理图像已成现实。计算机图像处理技术(也称数字图像处理技术)相对于传统的暗房技术 ,不但具备传统暗房技术制作影像的所有的技巧 ,而且还有许多传统暗房技术不可比拟的优势。数字图像处理技术是摄影艺术再创造的技术 ,可制作完美无暇的照片 ,照片质量比传统暗房技术制作的质量更高,对环境无污染 ,出片速度快、省时、省财、省力、省地方。数字图像处理技术必将取代传统的暗房技术     

新世纪的公安教育向何处去——谈公安教育模式及改革方向

世界上实行市场经济的国家警察教育都是职业教育而非学历教育,新世纪我国公安教育的模式必须改革:１．公安教育应是一种行业性的职业教育,而应淡化学历教育;２．选拔符合入警条件的大学毕业生到公安院校接受培训,尔后充实公安队伍;３．采用部队培养高学历人才的方法;４．将一些公安院校合并挂靠到普通高校;５．专业教师应到公安机关实习、挂职,解决教师的公安业务及技术技能问题。
