Independent Candidates in China’s Local People’s Congress Elections

In the Chinese political system, according to the constitution, the people’s congresses at the primary level are the only institution which the voters can directly elect. However, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tightly controls the “direct elections” and takes every measure in the elections to prevent grassroots power from entering even the primary-level people’s congresses. In recent years, grassroots power has kept struggling for its legal rights in the “direct elections” held in a few localities. The conflicts between the grassroots power and the authoritarian party in the “direct elections” have become an interesting political phenomenon, a subject deserves close observation and research. This paper studies the background of the independent candidates, their motivations and behaviour in elections. The paper also examines the party’s control in the elections and thus exposes the true nature of China’s people’s congress “direct” elections. The paper argues that independent candidates can have little impacts on China’s political structure at the current stage because of the party’s tight control, but their political participation has the most democratic value, compared with the “reforms” instigated and carried out by the CCP.

德国“留校任教授禁止”原则

19世纪中叶德国在实践中就形成了得到严格贯彻的留校任教授禁止原则,该原则在20世纪下半叶被进一步实定法化。按照该原则完成教授资格论文撰写者只有在例外情况下得以在本校任教授。该原则在2002年高校法改革之后有所变化,形成现在的强制流动机制,即博士毕业之后到最终被任命为教授必须要更换过一次高校。这一制度同时辅以强制的公开招聘原则。这些制度从根本上保障了学术流动性并杜绝了学术近亲繁殖。

医患纠纷的法理解读——一个社会本位观念的视角

近些年来,我国医患纠纷的发生屡见报道,且呈现出愈演愈烈的趋势。传统的关于医患纠纷产生原因及解决方式的探索大部分局限在制度设计层面,对于医患关系中社会观念的分析并不多见。事实上,医患纠纷产生的根本原因在于中国传统社会观念与当下的法制不匹配,在这个意义上,仍然坚持从制度上寻找解决医患纠纷的方法必然不得其法,对于医患纠纷等社会矛盾的解读,当下学界的研究应逐步转移到对于社会本位观念及行为的研究上来。

非物质文化遗产传承人保护之忧

非物质文化遗产真正的传承主体不是政府、商界、学界以及各类新闻媒体,而是那些深深根植于民间社会的文化遗产传承人,他们才是非物质文化遗产的真正主人。如果政府、商界、学界以及各类新闻媒体无视这一点,并以自己的强势地位取代民间文化传承人的地位,非物质文化遗产就很可能会因外行的过度介入而变色、走味,非物质文化遗产的好日子也就走到了尽头。在非物质文化遗产保护问题上,中国民间事由民间办的优良传统值得借鉴,切莫走上以政府取代民间、以官俗取代民俗的歧路。
