行政规划中的公众参与程序：理想与误区——从汶川地震恢复重建规划说起

通过对汶川地震恢复重建规划的分析可以发现，行政规划的确定将对众多社会群体的法律利益和事实利益产生重大影响。为此，有必要构建行政规划中的公众参与程序，作为公有制前提下公共利益与个体利益的平衡器，并以主体性公众参与作为目标模式。在行政规划的公众参与过程中，容易因公众参与的无限扩张导致政府决策效率低下甚至无法决策，或因公众利益的分化和参与不平衡导致社会公正受损，或者发生公众意见对法律和政策目标的偏离，对此均应竭力避免和纠正。

中国古代法中的禁榷因素——以禁榷对刑事政策的影响为例

中国传统的禁榷制度对国家财政、人民生活乃至整个中国法律传统都有深刻的影响。禁榷制度的实行导致了中国古代大量的行政犯，相关刑事政策非常残酷；禁榷制度还极大压缩了古代民众的民商事活动空间，抑制了自由平等的民事契约精神。

我国侦控、侦审关系的反思与完善

对抗制庭审方式的确立和运作需要一系列配套制度与之相配合，而我国的侦控、侦审关系基本停留在公、检、法三机关流水作业的线性结构上。我们有必要在反思我国侦控体制和侦审关系存在的问题的基础上，以侦控、侦审关系的一般原理为依据，借鉴国外的经验和做法，对侦控体制和侦审关系进行改革。     

SEX EDUCATION LEFT AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE SCHOOL DOOR: STRICTER REQUIREMENTS FOR PARENTAL OPT‐OUT PROVISIONS

Current state law creates the risk that, if sex education is not provided to a child in public school, no similar instruction will be given to the child. Legislatively enacted opt‐out provisions give parents broad control over their child's education by granting them the option to have their child excused from any sex education requirements within a public school's curriculum. Through public school sex education, professionals provide youth information aimed at protecting them from the dangers of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). A stricter statutory opt‐out provision should be enacted by state legislatures that only allows parents to excuse their child from sex education after a parent attends a 90‐minute STD prevention course and receives the instructional material used in the school's sex education curriculum. Parents should be provided up‐to‐date information and a structural framework designed by the school to encourage them to discuss with their child the many sexual issues addressed within a school's sex education curriculum.     

后现代理论及其对中国刑事政策选择的可能意义

后现代理论对中国刑事政策的选择是有其意义的 ,可以说 ,它为中国的刑事政策选择提供了新的分析视角与切入点。后现代理论认为 ,世界应当是多元的 ,“他者”不是天生的而是被建构的。这些观点对我们检讨并确立中国的刑事政策应有所启迪 :应当警惕刑事政策对作为“他者”的少数人的可能霸权 ;刑事政策的选择应当体谅人性的弱点     

试论公权力与私权利之间的法律平衡--关于制定《传染病隔离法》的思考

2003年春夏之际,一场始料不及的瘟疫——“非典型性肺炎”席卷了我国大江南北。通过各级政府和全社会公民的良性互动,目前疫情已经得到了阶段性的控制。回首抗击“非典”的日日夜夜,少数人借“非典”之机大发不义之财;而更多的公民则为了控制疫情积极配合政府采取的应对措施。有法可依,依法办事,切实保障每一位公民的基本权利,这是法治国家政府在防治严重传染病过程中面临的重要问题。这场瘟疫不仅考验了科学,而且也考验着政府的应急能力及其法律是否完善。在我国缺乏《紧急状态法》的前提下,政府为了应对突发性公共卫生事件而采取了(包括“隔离”等限制公民人身自由在内的)一系列行政强制措施。政府行政权力的底线是尊重和保障人权,而不能随意压制公民、法人和其它组织的私权利。“塞翁失马,焉知非福。”尽早出台《传染病隔离法》等相关法律,从立法和执法中寻求公权力和私权利之间的动态平衡未尝不是抗击“非典”给我们带来的启示。     

论公共政府的伦理精神

公共政府的产生依据及其所担负的责任决定了其必须拥有一种价值依归,包括最核心的公正精神和与此相联系的一系列的伦理精神。公共政府伦理精神的构建和弘扬是现代政治生活和谐有序的根本保证,而政治制度的道德化和政治道德的制度化的双向互动及行政人员的伦理道德管理和训练是塑造公共政府伦理精神的重要途径。     

The Quiet Revolution? The Labour Party and Welfare Conditionality

Labour's 2017 general election manifesto contained a pledge to ‘end the punitive sanctions regime’ in the British welfare state. Whilst the specific implications of this pledge were not elaborated, such a policy would nevertheless constitute a profound break with a welfare consensus spanning over twenty years. The depth of the suggested changes on welfare are also evident in the scale of reform proposed to disability benefits, as well as plans—confirmed in August 2018 by the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell—to pilot universal basic income. Collectively, these policies would seemingly be deeply at odds with public opinion on the benefits system, which over the course of the last two decades has significantly hardened. Yet despite the seemingly radical and controversial nature of the policy, it received very little media or public attention during the election campaign. This article explores Labour's ‘quiet revolution’ on welfare, examining whether Labour's new welfare approach is indeed a bold attempt to reshape public opinion on welfare or, alternatively, a mostly pragmatic reaction to changing social attitudes. The argument presented is that whilst there are persuasive explanations that Labour is responding to a change in the public mood, there is also evidence of a more ambitious goal at stake: the aim of reshaping, not simply responding to, public opinion on the welfare state.
