寻租与腐败的相关性

寻租与腐败是两个有着内在联系的不同概念。经济体制转型是寻租活动大行其道的现实基础,专制体制是腐败产生的制度性原因,而由管制形成的垄断特权促使了寻租活动的发生,即寻租可以诱发腐败。我国在制度变迁中必须采取法律手段并建立制度性约束机制才能减少腐败的产生。     

Bid-rigging networks and state-corporate crime in the construction industry

This study highlights the symbiotic relationship that may arise between political and business actors in conspiracies organized around public construction bids. Based on a core-periphery social network analysis, the study tracks the emergence of such a conspiracy in the city of Laval (Canada) by illustrating the evolution of bid-rigging networks revolving around suspected and persistent acts of corruption, bid-rigging, and bribery. To assess this process, the study monitors irregular bidding indicators across a data set compiled from more than 7000 public construction tenders that were processed by the city from 1966 to 2013. Findings reveal that firms suspected of bid-rigging activities were perennial core participants largely as a result of a state-corporate crime system that served as the guiding force for agreements between the main construction entrepreneurs.     

引入公益诉讼完善外逃腐败资产追回机制

随着《联合国反腐败公约》的生效,人们开始更多地关注反腐败的国际合作问题,公约最大的贡献就是设置了一套较为完整的腐败犯罪资产的追回机制,但是,由于立法上的滞后以及公约在实施过程中的实际困难,使得中国尚未探索出一套有效追回流失于境外腐败犯罪资产的制度;由于公益诉讼的自身优越性,引入公益诉讼制度,以充实和完善外逃腐败资产追回机制是值得我们认真思考的一条可行的道路。     

吏治腐败与体制、机制创新

吏治腐败是最大、最严重的腐败,是一切腐败的根源.20世纪90年代中期以后,由于种种复杂的原因,中国社会出现了以跑官要官、买官卖官为特征的吏治腐败现象,并且呈现出多案窝案化、公开半公开化、资金大额化、职务高级化等特点.跑官要官、买官卖官现象之所以屡禁不止、愈演愈烈,除了其他复杂的原因之外,现行政治体制和权力运行机制存在的缺陷和弊端,是其中一个重要的原因.现行政治体制的弊端主要表现在:权力结构存在严重缺陷,主要领导干部的权力仍然过分集中,且不受制约或很少受到有效制约;权力--责任--利益机制扭曲,权力利益巨大化和权力责任虚空化倾向严重;监督乏力,惩治被动,导致"腐败黑数"大量存在.要遏制和消除跑官要官、买官卖官等吏治腐败现象,最重要的是要实现政治体制和权力运行机制的创新.     

《联合国反腐败公约》与我国刑法中私营部门内贿赂犯罪之比较与评析

《联合国反腐败公约》规定的私营部门贿赂犯罪在我国刑法典中就是指公司、企业工作人员受贿罪,向公司、企业工作人员行贿罪。两者对私营部门贿赂犯罪的规定在犯罪主体、贿赂物的范围、主观要件、客观行为等方面有一定的差别。我国刑法应采取扩大私营部门惩治贿赂犯罪的主体范围,扩大惩治贿赂的范围,改变现行刑法典以"利益"为核心构建的贿赂犯罪行为人的主观心理等完善措施。     

西方政党政治中的利益集团、政党腐败及其治理

政党政治是西方民主政治的重要组成部分,是政治民主化的发展成果。政党的社会整合能力削弱,导致了西方政治过程中利益集团作为一支强大的力量强势崛起,并通过政治献金、游说向执政党施加压力,以期将集团的利益诉求通过执政党和政府的公共政策制定合法化。政党与利益集团的媾和促成了权力与利益的互换,政党腐败滋生,腐蚀和瓦解着当前政治体制,耗竭政党的社会基础与执政资源,威胁政党政治的生命。为此,只有完善政党与利益集团自身的组织规范,实现对政党权力的约束;改变单一的政党经费筹集方式,增强竞选经费使用的透明度;建立开放与多元竞争的公共政策制定机制,实现公共政策的利益均衡,构筑明确的权力与利益边界,才能重构政党与利益集团的关系,消减政党与利益集团的不正当交易,遏制腐败的发生。     

The Tunnel at the End of the Light: the Crisis of Transition in Hungary

The economic, political and social transition processes of the last two decades, far from being in harmony, clearly have a detrimental rather than an enriching influence on each other. These processes will never become harmonised just by themselves in a natural fashion. The worst obstacle of a successful transformation is that the chief actors, such as the government, the market and the representatives of the society. The Prince, the Merchant and the Citizen do not show the necessary commitment, competence and determination to create a new, effective type of partnership. This is a challenge which urgently demands answers on all levels of governance, economic and social life. This must be done in the frames of local communities, and on the regional, the European and the global levels. Nearly twenty years after the political turnabout, Hungary now needs a new social contract and must lay down the ethical, political, institutional and intellectual foundations for its twenty-first century democracy.

Morality rebooted: Exploring simple fixes to our moral bugs

Ethics research developed partly in response to calls from organizations to understand and solve unethical behavior. We examine two approaches to mitigating unethical behavior: (1) values-oriented approaches that broadly appeal to individuals’ preferences to be more moral, and (2) structure-oriented approaches that redesign specific incentives, tasks, and decisions to reduce temptations to cheat in the environment. This paper explores how these approaches can change behavior. We argue that integrating both approaches while avoiding incompatible strategies can reduce the risk of adverse effects that arise from taking a single approach and leverage the strengths of both approaches.     

贪污罪要件及共同贪污定性新论

贪污罪的行为对象虽是公共财物,但也包括非公共财物;其犯罪主体的本质在于从事公务;所谓利用职务便利,是以利用本人的职务便利即直接利用为原则,但也包括间接利用即借助于他人的职务便利;间接利用的成立须以利用者在职务上足以制约被利用者并且同属于一个单位为必需。共同贪污的定性宜以主犯决定说为原则,辅之以身份犯决定说和实行犯决定说。
