Committee strength in parliamentary democracies: A new index

Much recent research on coalitions and policy-making in parliamentary democracies requires high-quality data on the strength of legislative institutions. In this article, I introduce a new index of committee policing strength which improves on existing measures in important ways. I specify key index parameters using a binary rooted tree model and engage human coders to score formal rules. I obtain a novel time series of committee policing strength in 17 western and eastern European democracies since 1945. I validate the new estimates through convergent validation and discuss ways in which the new index contributes to future work.

Anti-money laundering by international institutions: a preliminary assessment

This paper presents an evaluation of the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) program. It briefly discusses why this can be seen as the birth of a “regime for financial integrity”. We find that some areas of the AML/CFT framework are consistently weaker than others in the area of prevention measures. Specifically, we have two findings: the first, positive one, points to a substantial adequacy of the repressive measures; the second, negative one, points to a substantial failure of countries to adopt adequate preventive measures, and calls for renewed efforts to improve implementation of preventive measures across the board, with specific regard to the activity of financial sector regulatory and supervisory authorities. Also, Eurozone countries outperform all other groups in the sample. Finally, the limited availability of country information and the multiplicity of assessors and methodologies make it difficult to evaluate the performance of the program. Therefore, we suggest greater transparency and availability of detailed countries’ information, and follow up assessments of the weak areas of a country’s AML/CFT framework at higher frequency than the established 5 years.

在新的历史起点上推动人民政协制度更加成熟定型

国家政治制度成熟定型必须具备系统完备、相对稳定、科学有效和广泛认同四个基本要件,人民政协制度更加成熟定型既要遵从上述要件,又要考虑政协性质特点,做到理论和政治上成熟,有鲜明的政治定性;职责和功能上成熟,有稳定的职能定位;制度机制成熟,有完备的工作定规。70年来人民政协制度化建设稳步推进,各项制度体系正在加速形成,新时代人民政协要更好地发挥在国家治理中专门协商机构作用,必须加快协商制度创新和完善,在新的历史起点上推动人民政协制度更加成熟定型。     

外行领导内行?——专业型组织、专家型领导与新冠肺炎疫情防控

专业型组织或知识密集型组织的核心员工都是专业人士,如何对他们进行有效领导一直存在争议。专家型领导理论认为要内行领导内行,但干部管理制度在实际运行时通常导致外行领导内行。本文以新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情防控为案例,对地方卫生健康部门的领导干部履历进行分析,探究如何通过专家型领导来强化科学防控。对于专业型组织而言,应尽可能选派专家型领导,不应过分强调内行领导内行,专业知识和技能只是领导胜任力的维度之一。不同层级和部门的领导干部需要具备不同的能力组合,可以通过加强轮岗和培训来提升他们的全面领导能力。     

瑞典的新法团主义与经济发展：经验及启示

战后以瑞典为代表的北欧国家沿着新法团主义路径建设包容性福利国家体制，创造了融合经济增长与国民福祉的综合性发展。瑞典经验表明，要实现稳定的社会经济转型，包容性制度设置是至关重要的，包括倡导协商共识的政治过程、组织有序的社会团体、自由竞争的市场机制、积极有效的充分就业政策，以及包容性社会保护措施。新法团主义体制在推动经济发展的同时，也增强了政治社会的弹性，可以为我国社会转型与建设提供经验借鉴和有益启示。     

Domestic Contestation and Presidential Prerogative in Colombian Foreign Policy

The study of Colombian foreign policy emphasises external constraints and presidential prerogative in foreign policymaking. Drawing on insights from recent foreign policy analysis literature and evidence from several cases (Plan Colombia, US military bases, free trade talks with China, and ICJ arbitration of a maritime border with Nicaragua), this article challenges commonplace presidentialist assumptions. A novel model of ‘contested presidentialism’ better captures how Colombian domestic actors mobilise to raise political costs to block or modify presidential preferences. When the opposition fails to raise costs, presidentialist assumptions apply. Otherwise, presidents respond strategically by abandoning policies or substituting second-best alternatives.
