法家思想与法治建设

法家思想作为我国传统文化的一部分,在我国法制史上占有重要的地位。法家思想的主张也是想要建设一种法治社会,当然这种法治是一种最低层次的法治。法家思想对处于社会转型时期、建设法治中国的当下是有着重大的意义与启发的,如对功利主义思想的警惕、对法秩序的追求等等。

正确认识依法治国与党的领导的关系

正确认识和处理依法治国与党的领导的关系，关乎着依法治国方略的贯彻实施与党的领导和执政地位的加强和改善。依法治国与党的领导既有区别又有统一性，依法治国是加强和改善党的领导的有效途径，加强和改善党的领导是依法治国的根本保证。二是相互依存、相互促进、密不可分。同时，正确认识依法治国与党的领导的关系，还须澄清两种错误认识。一要澄清依法治国会削弱党的领导的错误认识，二要澄清坚持党的领导会妨碍依法治国的错误认识。     

REEVALUATING WHERE WE STAND: A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF AMERICA'S FAMILY JUSTICE SYSTEMS

The call for court reform remains critical in the face of the growing complexity of burgeoning family law cases nationwide. Many states have restructured their court systems using the unified family court model, resolving legal, personal, emotional, and social disputes with the aim of improving the well‐being of families and children. Other states utilize the traditional approach, resulting in cases being handled in a fragmented, time‐consuming and expensive manner. In this article, Professor Barbara A. Babb presents the results of her nationwide survey regarding how each state handles family law matters. The survey is a follow‐up to her comprehensive 1998 survey and her 2002 survey update. The results of the recent analysis reveal that a total of thirty‐eight states now have either statewide family courts, family courts in selected areas of the state, or pilot or planned family courts, representing seventy‐five percent of states. The number of states without a specialized or separate system to handle family law matters has decreased from seventeen states in 1998 to thirteen in 2006. These changes are significant when one considers the complexities involved in court reform. The need for court reform remains an urgent one, as family law cases occupy a significant percentage of court dockets across the country. Families and children deserve a court system where justice is effective and efficient and where their legal, personal, emotional, and social needs are resolved in a therapeutic and holistic manner.     

法治文明的二元权力观解读

在对权力这一现象的研究中,不少人已开始注意到国家权力和社会权力的对立冲突对于法治建设的巨大影响,特别是近年来,社会权力的蓬勃发展更加强了人们对它进行深刻认识的要求。马克思主义的经典理论在讨论权力这一社会现象时,也肯定了权力最初起源于社会,只是当阶级分化、国家出现后,权力才集中于国家手中。因此,在建设法治文明的过程中,必须要以国家权力与社会权力和谐并存的二元权力范式来构建我们的制度。     

An overview: A new era of tax enforcement – from “big stick” to responsive regulation

Recent developments in regulation and tax administration in Australia inspired this article on tax compliance and responsive regulation. This article analyzes the economics of crime and compliance as the dominant approach to tax enforcement of the past three and a half decades. It evaluates the key advantages and disadvantages of the economic approach as well as its application to tax. The article then explores responsive regulation as an alternative method that draws on the economic paradigm but also supplements this approach with other theories, particularly those involving identity, conflict escalation, and procedural justice. Building on this analysis and a case study of Australian investors in mass marketed tax schemes, the article suggests that the broader, more balanced, and closely tailored method of regulating responsively may enable regulators to draw on the advantages of the economic model while alleviating some of its drawbacks. Responsive regulation may therefore constitute a superior method for regulating compliance.     

对农民法治意识及其现状的再认识——来自江苏农村的实证研究

传统观念认为,我国农民法治意识淡薄,对法与法治不了解、不接受、不依赖、不信任、不尊崇。事实并非如此。虽然与农村法治化进程的要求仍有一定差距,特别是法律运行中存在的问题影响了农民对法与法治的信任和信心,但农民对法与法治的了解、认同、接受、依赖和尊崇程度确实有了很大提高,其守法意识、维权意识、诉讼意识也有所增强并逐渐趋于理性,农民的传统法律观念正逐步被现代法治意识所取代。我们应该以发展的眼光去看待现阶段的农民法治意识状况,对其进行客观、理性的分析与评价,采取相应的对策来促进农民法治意识的提高。
