论权力内生腐败现象的危害及成因

当前我国地方政权中发生一系列"权力腐败窝案",就其性质而言是一种整体性、结构性、系统性、联动性的内生拓展型权力腐败.这种家族化、帮派化、圈子化的地方政治退化现象,究其根源在于:我国经济体制改革与政治体制改革互相脱节,地方行政体制改革与财政体制改革互相脱节,实行"党内民主"与扩大"基层民主"互相脱节.     

McMahon on Workplace Democracy

This paper offers a sympathetic critique of Christopher McMahon’s Authority and Democracy: A General Theory of Government and Management. Although I find fault with some of his arguments, my goal is not to show that these arguments are irreparable, but to highlight issues that deserve further consideration. After defining some terms, first, I raise an objection to McMahon’s rejection of the moral unity of management (MUM) thesis. Second, I draw attention to his “moralization” of the workplace, and examine the role it plays in his arguments about the relative strengths of the different kinds of authority. Third, I raise questions about his reliance on an analogy between states and firms. I suggest that states and firms are in some ways more alike, but in other ways less alike, than he allows.

Corporate Moral Legitimacy and the Legitimacy of Morals: A Critique of Palazzo/Scherer’s Communicative Framework

The article offers a critical assessment of an article on “Corporate Legitimacy as Deliberation” by Guido Palazzo and Andreas Scherer in this journal. We share the concern about the precarious legitimacy of globally active corporations, infringing on the legitimacy of democracy at large. There is no quarrel with Palazzo/Scherer’s diagnosis, which focuses on the consequences of globalization and ensuing challenges for corporate social responsibilities. However, we disagree with the “solutions” offered by them. In a first step we refute the idea of a legitimacy of morals, maintaining that morality is a premodern mode of creating legitimacy. Even worse, moral is becoming a dangerous commodity under conditions of fundamental global disagreements and antagonisms. We secondly refute the concept of the “politicized corporation”, maintaining that Palazzo/Scherer disregard the consequences of functional differentiation of modern societies and, in particular, disregard the wisdom of political restraint and constitutional guarantees for the autonomy of different spheres of society. Finally, we refute a seemingly romantic notion of deliberation, maintaining that deliberation and deliberative democracy is a worthy idea, which, however, has no place in the real world of globalized contexts. On the other hand, we also find enough common ground and common concern with Palazzo/Scherer to validate a fruitful discourse.

我国县乡财政管理体制改革思路探析

当前的县乡财政体制存在一系列问题:事权划分不清,支出责任模糊并倾向于向县乡政府推移,地方支出主要依靠中央政府转移支付,收入权高度集中等.研究表明:"省管县"和"强县扩权"有助于改善县乡财政管理体制,但只有与地方民主建设相结合,才能做到面向县乡居民的偏好和需求提供公共产品与服务.解决县乡财政困难的关键在于:减少政府级次,细分各级政府事权和财权,实施彻底的分税制,扩大基于财力均等化公式的一般性转移支付补助占转移支付总额的比重.     

农村产权结构历史变迁的政治经济学分析

改革前后,农村产权结构的变迁是从残缺走向完整。它昭示了权利从国家回归于农村社会的自然历史过程。这种回归使农户真正成为农村产权的主体。其必然带来农民维护自身产权而产生的强烈政治诉求。农村产权结构的变革与乡村政治交互发展的演变史为我国建设与发展民主制度提供了客观的经济演化样本,对我国的民主制度发展进程提供了可资借鉴的经验与教训。
