完善阳光检务长效机制的法理思考

阳光检务,是指检察机关通过检务公开,自觉接受社会监督,以实现检务工作透明、高效、公正、廉洁的一项重要检察制度。自推行以来,一些地方阳光检务已取得了积极成效,但也存在认识偏差、法律支撑缺乏、范畴模糊、制度缺失等诸多不足。要通过加强立法,明晰阳光检务的内容,完善阳光检务的制度保障,从而健全阳光检务长效机制,以促进阳光检务与日常检务工作的有效融合。     

残疾赔偿金的赔偿年限之我见

残疾赔偿金的赔偿年限的确定存在一定争议,建议以差额化模式确定残疾赔偿金的赔偿年限,而不是以定型化模式确定其赔偿年限。     

剥夺政治权利的刑期计算问题探究

我国刑法规定的剥夺政治权利的刑期起算的基本规则是合理的。至于不同情形下的剥夺政治权利的刑期起算和刑期折抵则应分别论之。     

格式合同的立法规制

作为当今社会最为普遍的一种交易形式,格式合同堪称为利弊并存的“双刃剑”。一方面,格式合同因具有满足经济生活的明显优势而被市场主体广泛采用;另一方面,在合同实践中,使用人以不公平条款损害相对人利益的现象比较严重,因此,需加强对格式合同的规制,以维护合同正义。而立法规制是行政规制和司法规制的前提和依据,在格式合同的规制体系中居于基础性的地位。在我国,尽管《合同法》、《消费者权益保护法》等法律中规定有格式合同的内容,但这些规定比较粗疏、笼统,缺乏系统性和可操作性,有待于进一步修改、补充和完善。     

Broadcasting agitainment: a new media strategy of Putin’s third presidency

This article argues that accounts of the Russian media system that tend to view the time from Vladimir Putin’s rise to power in 2000 as a single homogenous period do not capture major qualitative shifts in state-controlled media coverage. By analyzing the output of Russia’s two main television channels during Putin’s third presidential term, we identify a range of distinctly new features that amount to a new media strategy. This involves a significant increase in the coverage of political issues through the replacement of infotainment with what we term agitainment—an ideologically inflected content that, through adapting global media formats to local needs, attempts to appeal to less engaged and even sceptical viewers. Despite the tightening of political control over the media following the annexation of Crimea, the new strategy paradoxically has strengthened the constitutive role played by the state-controlled broadcasters in the articulation of official discourse.     

试论绩效预算改革的战略规划基础

传统控制导向的预算制度由于缺乏战略视角而陷于支离破碎,绩效预算制度通过引入战略规划因素,将政策、规划和预算有机地结合起来。绩效预算制度要求政府机构在提出预算需求时必须根据本组织的战略计划(或中长程计划),明确列出组织的中长程目标、策略、预期的产出或成果,绩效评估的标准,以及前一年的绩效评估结果。战略规划的成功制定能够帮助公共机构厘清组织的计划优先权,并能够基于一种对共享目标的追求而协调机构成员的行为。这一战略视角在中期支出框架中得到了直接的体现。     

The political implications of popular support for presidential term limits in Russia

With Vladimir Putin having commenced his second term, the issue of the constitutional limit of two successive terms for the president has again become politically salient in Russia. In this article, two specialists of Russian politics investigate public support in 2018 for term limits. They address three questions. Why does the issue of term limits matter? To whom in Russia does it matter? Is opposition to abolishing terms limits likely to be politically divisive? Their findings point in general to a shift in the level and character of support for term limits since 2012. Opposition to term limits has grown over time, and while in 2012 support for term limits was drawn from supporters of more authoritarian leadership, today it includes engaged democrats with negative views of the economic situation. They also find that supporters of term limits remain more likely to support political protest.     

未签订书面劳动合同时劳动者二倍工资请求权的适用条件研究

我国《劳动合同法》第82条规定在未签订书面劳动合同时劳动者享有二倍工资请求权,其适用条件包括：双方已建立全日制劳动关系、双方未签订书面劳动合同、双方未签订书面劳动合同的时间在一个月以上不满一年。但是在实践中对该请求权的适用条件却存在诸多分歧。通过对相关实践经验和理论成果的比较,在即将制定的相关规范性文件中对相关争议问题作出明确规定,有助于解决司法实践中的不统一现象。     

Homeowner Behavior,Health Status,and Medicaid Payment Eligibility: Evidence from the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005

This paper analyzes the effect of a change in the status of housing equity as a protected asset for Medicaid long‐term care payment eligibility. A difference‐in‐difference‐in‐differences strategy is employed to estimate the effect of the policy on the housing equity holdings of potentially treated individuals. Using a panel of unmarried homeowners, the policy induced treated individuals who were likely to require long‐term care to hold less housing equity by values of $82,000 to $193,000 relative to control individuals. This equates to relative reductions of 12 to 29 percent for treated individuals after the policy change. Similar effects are not observed when considering health measures less predictive of long‐term care services and for a sample of married households who were unlikely affected by the policy. These estimates confirm the importance of the housing asset as a shelter for Medicaid eligibility.
