Teaching law in Scotland

ABSTRACT

The theory of threshold concepts has become a popular way to describe the difficulties students face when trying to grasp fundamental ideas in a discipline. In law authors have suggested a range of concepts as thresholds. However these suggestions conflict with each other, and have not emphasised the way in which students repeatedly encounter such thresholds. Using variation theory and the concept of knowledge capability this article suggests that the Threshold Capability Integrated Theoretical Framework may be a way to resolve those differences and to highlight the ongoing nature of liminality in becoming a professional. Students may grasp initial threshold concepts early in a degree or subject, develop the ability to manipulate and use them in a variety of settings towards the end of the degree, and develop a lifelong professional ability to use them in diverse settings after graduation. Law students, lawyers and indeed law teachers may be best seen as in a constant state of learning. The uncertainty that goes with that learning is to be embraced, and encouraged as part of the way we teach law.     

模糊立法语言的语义学分析

法律以语言文字为载体。尽管法律人竭力为法律概念设定边界,但是大部分法律概念的内涵或外延依然是模糊的。在法律的创制过程中,合理使用模糊语言不但不会损害法律的明确性,相反倒可能有助于在不确定中寻求到确定性。     

因工患传染病职工工伤认定研究 ——基于对《工伤保险条例》中“事故伤害”的法释义学分析

对于所患传染病种类非属于《职业病分类和目录》的职工,由于法律未有明文规定,实务中就是否认定工伤问题存在争议,导致相关职工难以获得工伤保险的救济。《工伤保险条例》保障因工作遭受事故伤害或者患职业病的职工。而职业病由《职业病分类和目录》法定列举,法律解释空间极小;事故伤害为不确定的法律概念,存在相当的法律解释空间。法院对患传染病职工工伤认定纠纷案件的裁判,呈现出将职工患传染病纳入遭受事故伤害的思考路径。研究通过贯彻宪法规范和价值,结合工伤保险的目的与工伤认定的本质,并为了法律概念的统一使用和行政法律规范之间的冲突解决,运用法释义学的方法,强化论证了传染病可被纳入事故伤害的解释范畴,从而化解因工患传染病职工认定工伤无法可依的困境。

开放状态下大学生政治价值观结构形态的定位研究

对开放状态下大学生政治价值观结构形态的定位研究,目前有四种有争议的论点:(１)认为是国家大政治、大背景下的结构形态;(２)认为是大学生的政治情感、政治观念、政治行为的表现形态;(３)认为是政治价值观价值结构的工具性、理论性、终极性价值层面的表现形态;(４)认为是大学生政治人格的表现形态。这四种论点,实际上对应着相关的政治教育模式。各种政治教育模式定位,各有其优势和不足。系统、科学地对大学生政治观结构形态进行定位研究成为目前的理论热点和难点。

中国公益诉讼：概念、理念与发展展望

公益诉讼作为一种广受社会关注的新的社会现象和法律现象,是当下中国法学理论界与实务界的热点问题。由于研究者视野和角度的不同,公益诉讼尚存诸多争议。需要深刻反思的是：表面上看,目前关于公益诉讼的研究与实践呈现出一派繁荣景象,但公益诉讼大多还停留在观念促销的层面,它还没有触及那些应当被认真对待的实质性问题：公益诉讼的概念如何界定,公益诉讼的定位如何安排,公益诉讼的理念如何塑造,公益诉讼的制度如何发展。可以说,上述问题不仅构成一个健全公益诉讼制度应有的基本内容,也是有效构建我国公益诉讼制度亟待破解的带有基础性和根本性的问题。     

Evolution of Political Branding: Typologies,Diverse Settings and Future Research

Political branding has developed into an established and vibrant sub-discipline of political marketing. Indeed, political branding research continues to push boundaries by critically applying consumer based branding theories, concepts and frameworks to the political environment. Recently, political branding scholars have segmented research into different categories such as corporate, candidate, leader, local-regional, internal or external in orientation. Despite this development, there continues to be limited research on alternative or different typologies of political brands. This study reaffirms political branding as a distinct area of research and discusses how political brands can be conceptualised and operationalised. Further, drawing on seven empirical and conceptual papers, which focus on different typologies of political brands from a range of international contexts including Canada, USA, Iceland, Indonesia and India, we reflect on the current political branding environment. We conclude that there are multiple relationships and numerous interconnected political brands, which represent an intricate environment or ecosystem. This study offers academics and political actors guidance on how to conceptualise political brands and provides a starting point to map out the ecosystems of political brands. Finally, this study provides explicit calls for further research in political branding.
