八国集团的现实困境与未来走向

在新世纪,八国集团要想在转型的世界中继续扮演一个主要的国际行为体角色,继续作为一个有效的全球治理中心来发挥它的巨大潜力,就必须正视其身份的合法性、协调的有效性、经济议题的核心性、成员的平等性以及全球化的合理性等困境,及时调整集团目标,改革运作方式,决定是否增加新成员国,妥善处理好与美国、俄罗斯及中国的关系,协调好与发展中国家、20国集团以及联合国的关系,等等。这不仅决定着它在全球治理中的地位与作用,也直接影响着国际政治经济新秩序的建立,意义重大而深远。     

八国峰会中的世界能源问题

能源问题一直是八国集团(G7/G8)关注的重心.在一定程度上甚至可以说,八国集团成立的一个主因就是能源危机.20世纪七八十年代,面对两次石油危机,西方国家采取了多种应对措施,如成立国际能源机构、成立七国非正式合作机制等.第一次七国峰会就是在这样的背景下召开的,而能源问题在此后的几乎历次峰会中均有涉及.     

Asian values revisited

  With Asia's economy still booming in the second half of the 1990's “Asian values” were announced by some politicians (Lee Kuan Yew, Mahatir, Ishihara, Mahbubani etc.) and contrasted with “Western values”. Soon a controversial debate within Asia ensued (Kim, Fidel Ramos ea..), into which also the western democracies joined. The “West” however reacted rather defensively to the new assertiveness of some Asian statesmen, inspite of the fact that the authors of this debate put into question the western dominance in global value setting which has been in existence since the French revolution. But has this debate withstood the test of time, the challenges posed by the recession in Asia and by the ever increasing globalization? Hardly. The crisis has destroyed the notion that “Asian values” had been the main cause and guarantor of Asia's exorbitant growth rates. While in the West Christianity forms the essential basics of culture, in Asia there is a multitude of coexisting - and frequently confronting world religions. There is no other continent which in cultural and political terms is so contradictory and potentially conflict ridden like Asia. “Asianism” as a concept was surely also intended as an instrument to integrate multiethnic Asian societies with weak internal cohesion. At the same time it served to neutralize the human rights issue. In the meantime the debate has become quieter and more dispassionate. In the developed West the notion gained acceptance to abandon “Eurocentrism”. At the same time there is recognition that “Asian values” are not exclusive. Also in Europe the family plays a special role. A debate on values is needed for societal integration – also in the “West” which should become more aware of the need to reassert the origins of its own spiritual foundations. Following September 11th the west is well advised to continue the dialogue on values with Asia.

网络传播权利保护、限制及责任免除探究——评我国《信息网络传播权保护条例》对送审稿的修改

网络信息传播的发展与特性,要求服务商承担日趋严格的责任标准。这是互联网络与各国不断平衡版权人与服务商利益及关系的一种趋势。我国《信息网络传播权保护条例》送审稿曾对网络服务商作出更为宽宥的姿态,特别是其中第14条的规定,呈现令服务商出现“诱导”侵权事实而不须承担任何赔偿责任的局面。所幸条例出台前国务院作了重大的修改。本文对此作出分析,并结合国内外司法实践,论证了服务商的辅助侵权责任,提出完善网络侵权严格责任标准的意见。

鉴定人出庭遇到的困难及解决途径

鉴定机构作为中立机构,从司法部门独立出来,使鉴定人出庭成为必然。虽然现在有相关法律规定,鉴定人有出庭作证的义务,但在实现的过程中,鉴定人出席的时间、费用及相关的经济补偿没有相关的法律法规保障,阻碍了鉴定人出庭作证。同时在出庭中鉴定人与鉴定参与人之间的矛盾,也日益显现,需要从法律上首先完善,做好之间的沟通。
