Parties And Realignment: The President’S Role In Political Party Realignment, Kevin B. Dockerty

Masters Theses

Using "The Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study" that covers 1965-1982, the role of individual presidential candidates in bringing about changes in mass partisanship and party realignment is studied. Previous research has ignored the role of popular, prestigious, charismatic presidential candidates shaping and changing citizens' partisanship. Historical political party realignments guide my research in showing the strong influence of the chief executive in realignment periods.

Following the work of Niemi and Jennings (1991) I expand on their issue model explaining partisan choice by creating a candidate-issues model to provide a more complete explanation of party identification. I specifically look at the presidential …

Legal Theory And The Rule Of Law, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

In "Legal Theory and the Rule of Law" Noel Reynolds maintains that the rule of law can be understood as a set of conditions that rational actors would impose on any authority they would create to act in their stead in creating and administering legally binding rules.

These generally recognized standards are inherent in this …

2002 Quality Of Life Survey - Orleans And Jefferson Parishes, Susan E. Howell

Survey Research Center Publications

During the four years from 1996 to 2000 voters in New Orleans were increasingly positive about the quality of life in the City. Today that trend has reversed. Although the overall perception is still positive, fewer voters than in 2000 say that the quality of life is getting better. Jefferson voters continue an upward trend in evaluations of their parish. Every year since 1994 more voters say the quality of life is getting better. In contrast to previous surveys when crime was clearly dominant as the "biggest problem" facing New Orleans, today nearly as many mention economic problems as mention …

台灣入世銀行服務業在法規和政策上之調適, 王應傑

CAPS Working Paper Series

世界貿易組織(WTO)的前身為關稅暨貿易總協定(GATT)。臺灣於1990年1月1日，以「臺、澎、金、馬個別關稅領域」正式向GATT 提出入世申請；並於1993年取得其觀察員資格。由於在1994年12月24日烏拉圭回合談判的最後協議中，決定成立WTO，臺灣再於1995年12月1日改申請加入WTO。

此間歷經12年的籌備和努力，臺灣終於在今年(2001年)9月18日完成入世文件採認，最快可於明年1月正式成為WTO 會員，立法院也正在配合行政部門加速進行相關法案的修定。臺灣在入世後，必須克服市場開放對各產業的多方衝擊，而臺灣政府相關部門亦早為入世調整相關產業政策和法規，以期使產業能轉型成功。

本文將針對入世對臺灣銀行服務業相關法規和政策上之調適，作一簡單之介紹和分析。

中國大陸加入世貿組織對大陸經濟發展之影響, 田君美

CAPS Working Paper Series

WTO 是世界最大的多邊貿易組織，是各國與國際經濟體系聯系與合作的重要橋梁，多年來WTO 致力於推行商品和服務貿易自由化、知識產權保護和貿易法規公開化等，通過貿易政策審議機制和爭端解決機制，對世界貿易和投資產生著重大影響。由於世界貿易組織是一個以市場經濟及公平貿易為基礎的多邊貿易體制，而中國大陸經濟體制是20 餘年來，從計劃經濟體制調整到社會主義市場經濟體制，因此，在加入WTO 後其政府、企業及各產業均必須面對市場開放與競爭的衝擊。本文將從經濟制面、產業面及總體經濟面等觀點，探討中國大陸加入WTO以後，到大陸經濟發展之影響。

加入Wto對台灣與大陸證券業之衝擊與因應, 吳桂燕

CAPS Working Paper Series

根據WTO議程，大陸將於2001 年年底加入WTO。而依據主要會員國之共識，台灣亦將隨後入會。兩岸入會後，首先將被迫往開放的方向調整，在金融服務業亦將面臨開放問題。台灣與大陸未來皆必須逐步開放金融市場，金融業包括銀行業、證券業、保險業等皆將受到外國金融業激烈的競爭，而兩岸間金融往來亦將可能發生。在全球金融化的趨勢下，競爭將愈趨激烈，尤其來自國外的金融業，挾持龐大的資金與經驗豐富的人力資源，將對兩岸金融業的經營與發展產生巨大的衝擊與影響。其次，兩岸面對入會後最大的挑戰是人才的競爭，尤其金融服務業人才爭奪戰將是中國入會後不可避免的趨勢。
