Making good citizens: local authorities’ integration measures navigate national policies and local realities

ABSTRACT

Using the case of Odense (Denmark), this article explores how, in the process of devising and implementing integration measures, local authorities mitigate between the demands of national-level integration policies and the local realities. It shows that Odense's local authorities combined local resources into a variety of horizontal governance structures geared towards supporting refugees’ integration, and engaged in vertical interactions responding to local priorities. The study finds that new governance structures emerging at sub-national create opportunities for refugees and help their integration. However, inequalities between national and sub-national levels may have negative consequences for refugees’ integration outcomes.     

论我国时政类网络社区舆论生态及其治理

近十多年来,我国时政类网络社区发展迅猛,时政类论坛、博客、微博、贴吧等出现了爆发式增长,其舆论对社会的影响越来越大。当前,我国时政类网络社区呈现出极为复杂的舆论生态。主要表现为网络谣言泛滥、表达方式偏激、观点针锋相对、对主流价值观叛逆、充斥牢骚和抱怨等。加强网络社区舆论引导,优化舆论生态治理,形成良性舆论环境,构建和谐网络社区,关系到主流意识形态安全和社会稳定。

Multi-level governance and migration politics in the Arab world: the case of Syria’s displacement

ABSTRACT

In the context of Syria’s displacement, supranational ‘migration governors’ in the Arab region have sought – in different forms and capacities – to devise initiatives for responsibility sharing and to reinforce the capacity of Syria’s Arab neighbours to deal with refugee inflows. While the case of Syria’s displacement has witnessed the proliferation of collaborative networks, institutional complexity has yielded low effectiveness for the governance of such large-scale displacement in Syria’s neighbourhood. Supranational bodies have formulated dissonant frameworks and agendas. In the context of securitised responses to displacement, the discourse has not reflected the realities of refugee assistance and protection. Multi-level policy frameworks need to be embedded in the region’s geopolitical field of migration governance and refugee protection. While colliding policy arenas are to be grounded within the region’s historical trajectory of migration politics, an understanding of their effects requires gaining an insight into how they have interacted with the various refugee-hosting Arab states, influenced their refugee discourse, and impacted the issue of refugee assistance and protection on the ground.     

Multilevel governance from below: how Dutch cities respond to intra-EU mobility

ABSTRACT

‘Intra-EU mobility’ from new member states provides a governance challenge to European countries like the Netherlands. Freedom of movement within the EU enables mobility but also has important social consequences at the urban level in particular. This article discusses to what extent local, national and European governments have interacted in the governance of ‘intra-EU movement’ and how this has affected their policies regarding migrants from Central and Eastern Europe in particular. Focusing on the Dutch case, including the cities of The Hague and Rotterdam, this article shows a development from a decoupled relationship, to localist governance and only recently evidence of emerging ‘multilevel governance’. Speaking to the broader literature on multilevel governance, this article firstly shows that in spite of its broad theoretical application, multilevel governance should be seen as one of the varied types of governance in a multilevel setting. And secondly, it shows how and why local governments can play a key role in the bottom-up development of governance in a multilevel setting.     

由“管理”到“治理”:房产税试点困境的法学救赎

现代经济社会形态的深刻变迁,呼唤着由管理到治理的治国理念转型。房产税试点带有浓厚的管理色彩,其合法性、正当性与有效性都遭受诸多质疑。在治理视野下,房产税改革应当通过制定《房产税法》的方式推进。立法主导路径并不当然地排斥试点,但要求对试点模式进行全面重构。解决试点的合法性问题,需要由全国人大及其常委会授权,并由国务院暂停《房产税暂行条例》相关条款在试点地区的实施。在善治理念指引下,房产税试点要着重处理好其定位的谨慎性、主体的民主性、方案的合理性和程序的参与性,并以此为未来的税制改革试点模式树立新标杆。     

推进县域治理体系和治理能力现代化的路径选择

雾霾治理的政府间合作机制研究

近年来,我国各地日益增多的雾霾天气给人民健康、经济和社会发展等带来了越来越多的负面影响。日益频繁和增多的雾霾天气已不仅仅是自然因素影响的结果,我国目前的雾霾天气更多的是由人为因素引起的。大气的流动性和开放性使得雾霾污染由局部性空气污染向区域性污染扩张蔓延,这使得建立各级政府间的联防联控机制显得尤为必要。本文认为雾霾治理的政府间合作关系既包括纵向上中央政府与地方政府间的关系,同时也包括区域内横向政府间的关系,中央政府要建立完善的法律法规和空气质量标准,推动区域合作机制的建立,完善对地方政府的考核体系来转变经济发展模式,地方政府要构建合作平台,协调好彼此之间的利益关系,建立空气污染和雾霾天气预警报告机制等措施,以实现对雾霾天气的有效治理。     

创设新的民主模式：社会风险治理的政治选择

在政治化的风险社会中,社会风险的治理离不开政治决策。传统的科层制政治结构将公众排除在风险决策之外,过度依赖专家政治,使风险决策失去了民主程序的监督,极可能陷入“塔西佗陷阱”。因此,在社会风险治理过程中,一方面必须发展参与性协商民主,平衡政治家、专家和公众之间的风险决策权力关系;另一方面,必须发展全球民主,构建全球风险治理体系,通过全球合作来解决全球风险问题。
