审议促监督的转化机制——以Y市空间规划监督工作为例

人民代表大会制度是我国的根本政治制度,各级人民政府由人大产生,对人大负责,受人大监督。人大监督是规制现代政府公权力,避免其异化的重要环节。既有研究重在监督权力的配置与归属,研究对象较为传统,监督工具的缺失致使监督权力的运行过程还较为模糊。审议是地方人大对规划行政实施监督的重要工具,然而从工具的使用到监督效能的转化,其过程机制还有待揭示。为此,文章以Y市为基础,以访谈文本的扎根分析为依托,对审议全过程进行研究。研究发现,现阶段人大对规划的审议,更多表现为工具理性,监督价值有待引入。地方人大要实现对空间规划的有效监督必须考虑审议议题、审议程序和审议结果三要素,并且让审议三要素分别在压力机制、追责机制和赋能机制的主导下发挥效用。

“五四宪法”中人民代表大会制度及其实施的国家治理逻辑

人民代表大会制度在“五四宪法”中有着特定规范内涵,具体包括制度来源论、制度属性论、制度地位论和制度功能论。70年来的制度实践,尽管在文本规范上和具体实施中有所变动,但人民主权原则、最高国家权力机关的本质内涵从未变迁。新时代以来,人民代表大会制度日益凸显其在国家治理体系中的重要理论方位,具体体现于制度方位、民主方位、法治方位和治理方位。在确定和厘清上述理论方位的基础上,人民代表大会制度必将为践行全过程人民民主、促进高质量发展、推动现代化强国建设以及助力中华民族伟大复兴提供更好的发展方略。

全国人大决定行权方式的全面规范化——以《中华人民共和国立法法》第68条为制度支点

全国人大决定行权方式的全面规范化是宪法全面实施的内在要求,因而其具有显著意义。2023年《中华人民共和国立法法》第68条特别规定,全国人大及其常委会作出“有关法律问题的决定”适用《中华人民共和国立法法》的有关规定。该适用规则成为全国人大决定行权方式全面规范化、制度化、程序化的一个最重要的制度支点。全国人大决定行权方式的规范化命题蕴含三个子议题:一是规范类型上,全国人大决定行权方式包含抽象规范性决定、具体规范性决定和政策性决定三种规范类型;二是效力原则上,效力分层原则、程序判断效力原则构成了全国人大决定行权方式复合效力原则的核心;三是拣选标准上,“形式与内容的合比例性”构成了全国人大拣选决定行使方式的总理据,经立法程序决定之拣选标准的本质是立法便宜主义的政策考量,非经立法程序决定的拣选标准首先要考虑法律保留原则。

地方人大预算监督立法现状评估与改进对策——基于38部省级地方性法规的文本分析

地方人大预算监督是推进国家治理体系与治理能力现代化的重要抓手。《预算法》历经2014年、2018年的两次重要修正以来,中国人大预算监督的法律制度得到完善,各地相继开展了对预算审查监督条例的修订工作。然而,现有文献中针对地方人大预算监督立法的研究还十分薄弱,很少有研究予以系统性的现状评估。根据公共预算与政治问责之间的紧密联系发展分析框架,基于38部与人大预算监督相关的省级地方性法规进行法律文本分析后发现,中国地方人大预算监督立法中存在着政府信息供给不足,一些地方人大与政府之间政治对话得不到程序保障,法律责任条款的设定还有待加强等问题。据此为实践中中国地方人大预算监督立法的完善提供了具有系统性、针对性的政策建议。

东江各属行政会议:周恩来召开的东江各界人民代表会议

第二次东征战事结束之际,周恩来被任命为东江各属行政委员。虽然履职仅44天,周恩来却召开了东江历史上第一次也是唯一一次的东江各属行政会议。会议由人民代表组成,规范议事日程,实行议行合一原则,这些都使会议具备了人民代表大会的主要特征。周恩来将广州国民政府治下的东江变成了人民政权的试验场,这是大革命时期中国共产党人继罢工工人代表大会、农民协会之后,为建立人民政权及组织形式的又一次创造性实践,也是他在探索人民代表大会制度历程上埋下的第一块重要基石。

On the Budgetary Supervision of Local People's Congress in China

Strengthening the budgetary supervision of the local People＇s Congress is essential not merely to the deepening of budgetary reform but also to the improvement of the People＇s Congress system and socialist democracy. Budgetary supervision by the People＇s Congress comprises three elements： information, dialogue and enforcement. A national questionnaire survey based on these three elements shows that with the deepening of budgetary reform, the budgetary supervision of the People＇s Congress has undergone a shift from procedural to substantive oversight. Nevertheless, it still faces a number of challenges at local level. In the forthcoming reforms, budgetary supervision by the People＇s Congress should be strengthened to make local governments more accountable to the people.
