Freedom of Information and Environmental Protection in China
On May 1, 2008, the Regulations on Government Disclosure of Information officially took effect, making China one of 70 countries worldwide that has enacted comprehensive freedom of information (FOI) legislation.

China's New Ministry of Environmental Protection Begins to Bark, but Still Lacks in Bite
March 28, 2008, saw the launch of China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP).

怎么读不了两篇文章的全文呢?
ReplyDelete很好的文章:)我尤其对环境信息公开这个感兴趣,我觉得信息公开的方向有很多:政府对政府、政府对学术机构或者其他NGO、政府对公众...政府信息公开条例的期望目标是政府对公众直接公开,但是感觉这样有点超越性,其实可以逐步政府、机构、公众。否则,且不论信息的准确性,缺少了必要的中间过渡环节,信息公开很难真正实施。另外,我觉得中国有意思的是,一方面政府在不断找各种途径扩大信息公开、另一方米民众也在按照自己的需要,开发着各种新的信息公开方式:散步、短信……
ReplyDelete有意思的专题。第二篇题目里的Bark 和Bite很生动。
