Unlocking from Community Stakeholders,Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects for effective Company–Community relationship

Abstract

Conflicts in mining fields that revolve around the type and perceived impact of CSR projects seem to be daunting to solve. Such conflicts emerge from misconceptions among community stakeholders’ that lead to a failed company–community relationship. This inimical situation threatens peace, security, lives, and properties at the community level. To resolve the company–community conflicts, it is important to minimize the misconception among community stakeholders’ by identifying their preferences of CSR projects. However, the challenge of identifying these projects in mining fields is yet to be fully explored and understood. The aim of this paper is to identify community stakeholders’ topmost preferences of CSR projects for an effective company–community relationship and propose a path for community engagement. A sample of 604 respondents comprising community leaders’ and local residents’ from three regions which host Gold Mining Firms with level ‘A’ membership from the Ghana Chamber of Mines were drawn for this study. Using a questionnaire made up of close and open ended questions, a survey was conducted. With SPSS 16.0, the data on the close ended questions were analyzed with ranking and factor analyses while the open ended were drawn into teams to support the former. The results of the ranking analysis show that different group of stakeholders’ had a different preference for CSR projects. The factor analysis revealed that for effective company–community relationship both stakeholders’ preferred a Streamline Social Intervention and Improve Stakeholder Economic related CSR projects. Base on these findings, the study recommends that Mining firms’ should give maximum consideration to projects that seek the welfare of both stakeholders’ and have equal engagement with all stakeholders’. Also, managing expectations before, during and after mining should be a shared responsibility of all the stakeholders’.

论刑法中原因自由行为之责任基础

＂原因自由行为＂是现代刑法学的一大课题。虽然现今刑法理论通说均已承认它属于具有可罚性的一种犯罪行为类型,然而,依据责任主义的一般规律,无责任则无犯罪。如果认定原因自由行为具有可罚性,那么,主张原因自由行为不适用无责任能力或限制责任能力之规定的理论依据又何在？笔者从分析原因自由行为与责任主义的冲突与调和路径入手提出原因自由行为的责任基础。     

共犯与身份的中国问题

即便我国刑法总则缺乏共犯与身份的明文规定,通过借鉴域外理论与判例经验,根据共犯规定及共犯原理,也能妥当处理共犯与身份问题。根据身份是影响行为的法益侵害性还是行为人的非难可能性,可将身份区分为违法身份与责任身份;非身份者参与违法身份犯罪的,虽成立违法身份犯的共犯,但应减轻处罚;非身份者参与责任身份犯罪的,应分别定罪处罚。委派到非国有公司从事公务的国家工作人员只是一种责任身份,其伙同公司人员侵占本单位财产、收受贿赂、挪用本单位资金的,具有国家工作人员身份的分别成立贪污罪、受贿罪、挪用公款罪,公司人员则相应成立职务侵占罪、非国家工作人员受贿罪、挪用资金罪。     

论国家刑事补偿制度的构建——兼论我国司法救助之不足

刑事被害人的司法救助机制是当前学界研究的热点之一,但我国的司法救助并没有明确国家责任,难以担当起法律救济的重任。而刑事补偿制度明确了国家的责任,弥补了司法救助之不足,在与之相关的国家赔偿制度已经确立的前提下,其更适合我国国情,具有建构的必要性。其中,刑事补偿参与主体、补偿范围和标准、补偿程序和追偿程序的界定及设计是刑事补偿制度的主要内容。     

网络反腐健康发展应注重官民互动机制的建立

新时期网络反腐是否能得以健康发展,虽然受到诸多因素的影响,但是其工作机制不佳是一个重要原因。针对日益"井喷"的网络反腐态势,必须建立健全官民互动机制。建立健全官民互动机制首先应明晰专门反腐机关、网络运营商、新闻媒体和普通网民等各类网络反腐行为主体的内在责任。在明晰各类网络反腐行为主体内在责任的基础上,加强有利于网络反腐互动机制运转的保障性制度建设尤为重要。     

19世纪前欧洲国际私法学说重述

19世纪以前欧洲的国际私法学说对国际私法的实践和理论发展有着不可或缺的重要作用,但是目前国内对这些学说的解读,由于各种原因,并没有展现学说的原貌。鉴于此,同时抛弃非理性偏爱,本文对传统的各个学说进行了尽可能的再现,希望能对学说的学习和研究有所帮助。     

关于完善我国医疗事故责任等级的建议简

我国现行的《医疗事故技术鉴定暂行办法》规定了医疗事故中医疗过失行为的责任程度分为：完全责任、主要责任、次要责任、轻微责任。该办法用这四种责任程度来判定医疗过失行为的责任程度存在明显的缺陷,缺少了一个同等责任程度的规定。为了今后便于司法实践的操作,公平合理地维护医患双方的权益,应该增加同等责任程度的规定,来完善我国医疗事故技术鉴定相关立法。     

论新时期集体主义中的责任建设

集体主义是正确处理个人和集体关系的基本道德原则。在集体主义中,个人和集体都是鲜活的道德主体,肩负着深刻的道德责任,这构成了集体主义的内在价值结构。在新的历史时期,深入审视集体主义的科学内涵,对集体主义中个人对自身的责任、集体对自身的责任、个人对集体的责任、集体对个人的责任及其相互关系进行多维度的系统探讨,有利于进一步深化集体主义中的道德责任建设。
