The participation of a third party of the environmental service enterprise theoretically increases the level and efficiency of soil pollution control in China. However, Chinese-style fiscal decentralization may have a negative impact on the behaviors of participants, especially the local government. First, this paper conducts a positioning analysis on participants of the third-party soil pollution control in China and discusses the behavioral dissimilation of the local government under fiscal decentralization. Second, taking the government’s third-party soil pollution control as a case, a two-party game model of the central government and the local government is established around the principal-agent relationship, and a tripartite game model of the central government, the local government, and the third-party enterprise is designed around the collusion between the local government and the third-party enterprise. The results show that Chinese-style fiscal decentralization may lead to the behavioral dissimilation of local governments, that is, they may choose not to implement or passively implement the third-party control, and choose to conspire with third-party enterprises. Improving the benefits from implementing the third-party control of local governments and third-party enterprises, enhancing the central government’s supervision probability and capacity, and strengthening the central government’s punishment for behavioral dissimilation are conducive to the implementation of the third-party soil pollution control. Finally, this study puts forward policy suggestions on dividing the administrative powers between the central and local government in third-party control, building appraisal systems for the local government’s environmental protection performance, constructing environmental regulation mechanisms involving the government, market and society, and formulating the incentive and restraint policies for the participants in the third-party soil pollution control.

Resumen: Este trabajo hace una breve descripción comparada de los gobiernos y administraciones locales de la ciudad de Austin, Texas, y del municipio de Hermosillo, Sonora. El propósito que mueve la comparación es revisar el grado de autonomía y los lazos y vínculos de control existentes en cada gobierno local tanto con respecto a los niveles estatal y federal de gobierno como con la ciudadanía de cada lugar. De este modo se revisan los aspectos del concepto de gobierno local, de la base legal, de la conformación del máximo órgano de gobierno, del ámbito sustantivo de funciones, la estructura financiera de ingreso y gasto y la participación electoral. La conclusión general es que el municipio de Hermosillo se denota por un lado estrechamente atado y controlado por el gobierno estatal y federal y, por otro, con una débil relación con la ciudadanía local. Se aprecia, sin embargo, en el aspecto electoral una fuerte intencionalidad de cambio con base en la alta participación electoral existente en Hermosillo.Palabras clave: Política comparada, Autonomía política, Austin, Hermosillo, estructura de gobierno.Abstract:This work makes a brief comparative description of local governments and administrations of the city of Austin, Texas, and the municipality of Hermosillo, Sonora. The leading purpose is to review the extent of autonomy and control existing in each local government both in relation to state and federal governments and to local citizens. Thus the concepts of local government, legal base, the integration of the highest government unit, the range of substantive functions, financial structure of revenue and expenditure, and electoral participation are reviewed. The general conclusion is that the Hermosillo municipality shows up on the one side closely tied and controlled by state and federal governments and, on the other side, a very weak liaison to local citizenship. However a strong thrust towards change is perceived in the high extent of participation in local elections in Hermosillo.Palabras clave: Comparative politics, Political autonomy, Austin, Hermosillo, Government structure.

ABSTRAK Pelaksanaan desentralisasi dibiayai atas beban Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD) sehingga pembiayaan pembangunan secara bertahap akan menjadi beban terhadap pemerintah daerah. Keadaan ini akan semakin memperkuat tekanan internal dari keuangan daerah, karena peranan sumbangan dan bantuan pusat dalam pembiayaan pembangunan daerah akan semakin kecil. Bantuan pusat dalam pembiayaan pembangunan hanya akan diberikan untuk menunjang pengeluaran pemerintah, khususnya untuk belanja pegawai dan program-program pembangunan yang hendak dicapai. Hal ini berarti bahwa seiring dengan berjalannya otonomi, dana transfer yang diberikan oleh pemerintah pusat ke pemerintah daerah mulai berkurang dan yang menjadi sumber utama pembiayaan daerah adalah pendapatan dari daerah sendiri. Transfer Pemerintah Pusat khususnya yang didominasi oleh transfer tidak bersyarat yaitu DAU dan DBH menjadi sumber dana utama dalam menunjang pembiayaan pembangunan yang ada di Kota Manado, hal ini mengindikasikan adanya fenomena flypaper effect pada Kota Manado. Penelitian ini bertujuan menelaah performa kinerja keuangan daerah untuk mengetahui apakah transfer atau DAU plus DBH dari pemerintah pusat dan PAD berpengaruh terhadap belanja pemerintah daerah (BD) Kota Manado serta untuk mendeteksi terjadinya flypaper effect. Data yang dipakai menggunakan data time series dengan periode anggaran tahun 2006-2012. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah model analisis rasio dan model ekonometrik, dengan menggunakan data sekunder. Hasil analisis rasio menunjukkan kemandirian dan derajat desentralisasi memiliki trend positif, akan tetapi masih sangat bergantung pada dana transfer pusat, juga ditemukan  produktivitas dan efektivitas belanja daerah (BD) terjadi penurunan. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa DAU dan PAD secara terpisah maupun serentak berpengaruh positif terhadap Belanja Daerah dan  pengaruh PAD terhadap BD lebih besar daripada pengaruh DAU terhadap BD dan memberikan bukti tentang tidak adanya keberadaan flypaper effect. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Pemerintah Daerah Kota Manado dalam memprediksi Belanja Daerahnya (BD) lebih mengutamakan kemampuan keuangannya sendiri yang diproksi dari penerimaan Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD).   Kata kunci:      Kinerja Keuangan Daerah, Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD),  Flypaper Effect. ABSTRACT The implementation of decentralization be financed at the expense of the Regional Budget (APBD) so that development financing will gradually become a burden for local governments. This situation will further strengthen the internal pressure of the financial area, because the role of donations and assistance in financing the regional development center will be smaller. Central assistance in development financing will only be granted to support government spending, particularly for personnel expenditure and development programs to be achieved. This means that over autonomy, transfer of funds given by the central government to local governments began to decrease and become the main source of funding is the revenue from the region itself. Central Government Transfers particularly dominated by unconditional transfer that DAU and DBH become a major source of funding to support the financing of development in the city of Manado, it indicates that the phenomenon of flypaper on the city of Manado. The research examined the performance of the financial performance area to determine whether the transfer or DAU plus DBH of the central government and the PAD influence on local government expenditures (BD) as well as the city of Manado for detecting the occurrence of flypaper. The data used using time series data with the 2006-2012 budget period. The analytical method used is the ratio analysis models and econometric models, using secondary data. Results of the analysis showed the ratio of self-reliance and degree of decentralization has a positive trend, but still highly dependent on the transfer of funds center, also found the productivity and effectiveness of expenditure areas (BD) decline. Regression analysis showed that DAU and PAD separately or simultaneously positive effect on regional expenditures and the effect of PAD to BD is greater than the influence of the DAU to BD and provide evidence about the absence of the existence of flypaper. This indicates that the Local Government Area of ​​Manado in predicting Shopping (BD) prefers his own financial capabilities are a proxy of acceptance revenue (PAD).   Keywords: Financial Performance Regional Budget (APBD), flypaper.

Three dimensions for analyzing public sector pay administration are used to examine central government pay administration in Sweden and the United States of America. On the first dimension, market posture, both countries are found to fall short of their espoused policy, comparability. Greater consistency is found on the second dimension, social orientation, where both countries have pursued the goal of social equality. The equilization of salary levels across society is far greater in Sweden in keeping with the socialist objectives of wage solidarity. The third dimension, reward structure, shows the greatest distance between the two countries with the struggle to implement performance-contingent pay underway in the U.S. while Swedes continue to rely on longevity for pay increases.

Despite the expectation that social media use in the public sector contributes to enhancing government's transparency, few studies have been investigated whether social media use actually leads to more disclosure during environmental incidents in practice and how social media influence local governments and their officials' information disclosure. In this article, we model information disclosure during environmental incidents as an evolutionary game process between the central government and local government in social media context, and examine the internal mechanism that how social media influence the progress of information disclosure during environmental incidents. The findings indicate that social media plays an active constructive role in central-local government game relations. Specific- ally, social media can provides an efficient information channels for the central government supervise regional officials in environmental incidents, and thus improves its supervision efficiency, and it also provides an important means for internet mobilization and online-offline interaction by encouraging the public exchange information and express their views, and in turn forces local governments and their officials tend to disclosure ahead.

This article discusses the a memorandum of the member of the Control and Audit Committee under the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs – Efim Grigorievich Gerasimov (Gerasin). Having supported the socialist movement and subsequently the February and October Revolutions of 1917 since his youth years, the author of the document has analyzed the system of Soviets of Workers', Soldiers 'and Peasants' Deputies that established on the local level in late 1917 – early 1918 and gradually replaced the county self-government. The value of the source lies in the fact that the author of self-censorship revealed the flaws of the new local government, having expressed the concern that they may lead to a civil war in the country. E. G. Gerasimov (Gerasin) dedicated particular attention to the problem of dialogue between the Soviet deputies and central government, and proposed to institute the post of special emergency mediators for controlling the execution of all provisions and “encourage” the representatives of the Soviets. The conclusion is made that the elimination of the existing flaws required the so-called “democratic centralism” in Russia, which suggested the combination of electivity of local administration along with the governing and supervisory power of the central administration. In this regard, the content of the document allows taking a look at the Soviets of Workers', Peasants', and Soldiers’ Deputies through the prism of a person who worked in that system, without idealization or “touchup”.
