中西方行政伦理建设差异比较

行政伦理建设近来是世界性潮流。本文以中西方传统核心观念的分析为突破口,对由这些核心观念而引发的中西方行政伦理建设的特点进行了比较,并对转型期中国加强行政伦理建设提出了理性的建议。     

“The Spectacle of Fearsome Acts”: Crime in the Melting P(l)ot in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gangs of New York</Emphasis>

This paper explores the multi-layered representations of violence and crime in the recent Hollywood film Gangs of New York [Scorcese (2003) Miramax]. We use our exploration of this film to suggest that popular culture, even through its most mainstream products, can be seen as a critical criminological space where alternative views of law, crime and the state are made available. Rather than understanding Hollywood movies simply as vehicles for disseminating conventional mores, we suggest that they can furnish critical (and complex) points of view on law and crime and that the project of a critical criminology can be strengthened by engaging more forthrightly with these ubiquitous cultural forms.     

Increasing strategic accountability: a framework for international NGOs

The accountability of international development NGOs (INGOs) has attracted a great deal of interest from academics and development practitioners. INGO accountability falls into two categories: practical accountability (for the use of inputs, the way activities are performed, and outputs) and strategic accountability for INGOs' performance in relation to their mission. This article presents a conceptual framework for exploring INGO accountability. It is based on information collected through a literature review and semi-structured interviews with representatives from 20 UK-based INGOs. The research found that INGOs tend to use a number of quality-assurance mechanisms to achieve ‘practical’ accountability. However, it is suggested that this kind of accountability will not necessarily enable INGOs to achieve their missions to alleviate poverty and eliminate injustice. Furthermore, the predominant use of practical accountability has led to a number of gaps in INGO accountability. It is suggested that, like the term ‘participation’ before it, accountability has been co-opted for its instrumental benefits to INGO project performance and management. It is argued that if INGOs are to achieve their missions, this will require more ‘strategic’ forms of accountability, geared towards fundamentally changing those social, economic, and political structures that promote poverty.     

一部高等学校管理学研究的力作—-评柳菊兴教授的《大学的追求》

前不久,柳菊兴教授的新著《大学的追求》由华中师范大学出版社出版。这是作者在大学的领导和教学岗位上苦苦探索、孜孜追求的又一思想结晶,也是作者推出的一部高等学校管理学研究的力作。我们作为这部书的责任编辑和第一读者,读了该书之后,感触颇多。柳菊兴的《大学的追求》,确有很多值得称道的地方。在我看来,此书最值得称道的有以下三点:一是立意高新。“路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索”,这是屈原的一种追求;“人生自古谁无死,留取丹心照汗青”,这是文天祥的一种追求;“我自横刀向天笑,去留肝胆两昆仑”,这是谭嗣同的一种追求。那么,柳菊…

行政指导的社会学分析

行政指导在市场经济国家相继出现和广泛运用的原因是多方面的。从社会学的影响来看,行政指导乃是社会效果等理念的产物。

Money,Mortgages, and the Conquest of America

In colonial America, land acquired new liquidity when it became liable for debts. Though English property law maintained a firm distinction between land and chattel for centuries, in the American colonies, the boundary between the categories of real and personal property began to disintegrate. There, the novelty of easy foreclosure and consequent easy alienation of land made it possible for colonists to obtain credit, using land as a security. However, scholars have neglected the first instances in which a newly unconstrained practice of mortgage foreclosure appeared—the transactions through which colonists acquired land from indigenous people in the first place. In this article, I explore these early transactions for land, which took place across fundamental differences between colonists’ and native communities’ conceptions of money, land, and exchange itself. I describe how difference and dependence propelled the growth of the early American contact economy to make land into real estate, or the fungible commodity on the speculative market that it remains today.     

美国的自由贸易区战略与区域制度霸权

美苏冷战期间,美国一度通过国际制度建设取得了三分之二世界的霸主地位。然而冷战结束后,国际格局与国家实力的交化使美国无力继续追求全球性的制度霸权,而是转向区域制度霸权战略,通过以自由贸易区为主的地区合作制度追求其在各地区的主导地位与战略利益。其中,能否构造适宜的地区关系格局是大国主导自贸区与区域制度霸权战略能否达成的决定性因素,具体表现为三项任务:力量结构调整、单向支付与软实力建设。只有围绕本国优势兼顾这三项任务,大国才有可能在地区霸权的竞争中取得胜利。通过对NAFTA、FTAA与TPP三个案例的分析可以发现,美国追求地区霸权的战略尝试之所以成效各异,原因就在于其对三项任务的完成情况不同,进而影响到其地区影响力以及相较于对手的地区竞争力。
