俄罗斯刑法理论上关于犯罪构成结构的争议性问题

在俄罗斯刑法理论上,关于犯罪构成结构的争议性问题可以归结为三类:即犯罪构成应由哪些要件组成?通说的四要件犯罪构成中"要件"和"特征"的关系是什么?以及四要件应该怎样排列?在我国的犯罪构成理论研究中,也同样遇到了这些问题。     

Rhythms of Law: Aboriginal Jurisprudence and the Anthropocene

On 1 December 2019, over one hundred Aboriginal nations performed ancestral and creation dances in synchrony across the Australian continent. One of the communities that danced was the Anaiwan nation from the north-eastern region of New South Wales, Australia. Since 2014 I have been working with Anaiwan people in a collaborative activist research project, creating and maintaining an Aboriginal community garden on the fringes of my hometown of Armidale as a site for land reclamation and decolonising, multispecies research. The community garden is adjacent to the site of the old East Armidale Aboriginal Reserve, where over one hundred dispossessed Aboriginal people were forced to live on the municipal town garbage depot in the mid-twentieth century. This paper positions both the Nation Dance 2019 movement, and the Armidale Aboriginal Community Garden, as rhythmic events that activate Aboriginal Law and sovereignty that is held enduring in the land but that has been buried alive by the settler-colonial state. Focusing on the tensions between deep Indigenous ancestral temporality and colonial territoriality, I argue that the emergence of the Anthropocene reveals a dangerous dissonance between the rhythms of Aboriginal Law patterned through present-day Australian environments and the grid-based structures of colonial governance imposed upon them.

     

The Politics of Constitution Making: Transforming Politics into Constitutions

According to our conventional perception of the interrelations between revolutions and constitutions, constitutions perpetuate the interests of the victorious forces of the revolution. This paper analyzes the distinctive character of the revolutions of 1989 in East and Central Europe with respect to their claim to constitutionalism. The main characteristic of these revolutions is the disbelief of their proponents in the postulate of a homogeneous unitary popular will which imposes itself on the society. Intead, two different concepts of civil society have been emerging, both of which can be connected with a more elaborate notion of constitutionalism. Constitutions can be understood as institutional devices which encourage the endurance of their legality without being entirely dependent on either the principle of self-interest or the idea of pre-political consensus.     

法理天空 用精取宏——评《法理学:法律哲学与法律方法》

《法理学:法律哲学与法律方法》一书运用整体论的方法,描述了西方从古希腊到二十世纪七十年代的各种法哲学流派的思想、理论和主义,论证了法律是秩序与正义的综合体,探讨了解决法律问题的方法论,从而完整地构建了综合法理学体系。     

《反分裂国家法》的法理价值探析

《反分裂国家法》的出台是中央政府长期对台政策的法治化选择。以这部法律为窗口,可以看出执政党推行依法治国的决心、信心和水平的提升。《反分裂国家法》是宪法性法律,是公法,是实体法也是程序法,同时也是和平法而非战争法。仔细审视这部法律,可以看出它还充满着和平、宪政、法治和人权的法理精神。     

经济法的部门法理学建构

法理学与部门法学在基础知识领域的互通交融印证了经济法法理学命题的正当性和合法性。部门法哲理化思潮的涌现与经济法的时代转型为开展经济法法理学研究奠定了坚实的理论基础和现实基础。建构经济法法理学体系,首先需要探寻经济法部门的存在基础。在具体的研究实践中,则需要以调整对象问题的探索为视点,着力从经济法的法律关系理论出发,以主体—行为—责任范式框架为基本路径,完成经济法的部门法理学建构。考察经济法之存在基础与经济法法理学命题之间的内在关联可以看出,未来的经济法法理学研究,正在由宏大叙事向微观论证转变,由追求体系独特性向探索哲理化之路靠拢。     

在软法与硬法之间:裁量基准效力的法理定位

在认识软法的效力和功能时,不能忽视软法与硬法之间的复杂关联性。软法作为"法"除了具有"软约束力"之外,也能够借助于某种硬法保障方式或机制发挥"硬"的作用。就裁量基准的效力而言,其对内的拘束力主要是基于行政机关的领导权或监督权而产生,并往往通过行政机关内部激励、评议考核和责任追究等自我约束机制来实现。同时,裁量基准作为软法的范畴,不能直接为法院所适用,但是借助于立法授权旨意要求的说明理由制度以及裁量基准自身体现出来的法律原则的适用效力等硬法保障机制,也可以获得一种间接的司法适用,从而产生对外的法律效力。     

Towards a Jurisprudence of Emergency: Colonialism and the Rule of Law

This article revisits an infamous incident in colonial India -- the Amritsar massacre of 1919 -- in order to explore larger questions of the place of martial law and emergency in jurisprudence. By focusing on modes of power in the colonial realm, and the productive role of the colonies in the conception of modern law, it tests the claims of a rule of law and declarations of emergency. The argument tries to show how these two terms are, in fact, relational in theories of colonial discourse and of legal positivism. As such, it reads H.L.A. Hart’s, The Concept of Law and instances from the colonial archive against one another. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Contributions of the Law to Political Deliberation. Comments on Peter Fitzpatrick's "Consolations of the Law"

In this paper the author discusses Peter Fitzpatrick's conception of deliberative politics (Fitzpatrick 2001), defining him as both a moderate optimist and a sceptic. For Fitzpatrick the deliberation is a process intrinsically incomplete; the law shows and compensates for the limits of deliberative politics and gives the political decision its legitimate form. Starting from Fitzpatrick's position, the author dwells, in particular, upon the relationship between law and deliberative decision making in politics showing that the essential question is how to handle deliberative discussion and not what the limits that law posits to deliberation are. Therefore he stresses that the success of deliberation depends not only on sound procedure, but, rather on political convictions, the belief in practical reason and a sense of community and proportionality (in other words, the spirit of democratic government and a critical public opinion) which play a decisive role in deliberative processes.     

Bodies of Law: the Divine Architect,Common Law and the Ancient Constitution

This article addresses the architecture of the four Inns of Court inLondon as repositories for the body of law (corpus iuris). Thebuildings are perceived as visual representations of the unwrittenconstitution; evidence that the sign, not the text, remains thepredominant form through which the constitution manifests its content.It is in this context that the self-governing Inns are interpreted asmicrocosms of the City of God, envisaged by Saint Augustine andprefigured in ancient Greece by the Republic of Plato. The Innssynthesise these classical and Christian precepts; thereby creatinga unique commonwealth whose Utopian ideals are based on the applicationof Justitia, or righteousness: an ethical rather than alegal concept which underpins the English constitution. The argumentproposes a correlation between architectural development at the Inns andthe challenge posed to the institutional authority of the law by the newlearning of the Renaissance. It is the semiotics of legal architecturerather than its historical provenance which is central to my analysis. Iattempt to comprehend the effect of the influences outlined above on theform and content of the common law, the legal institution and theancient constitution.     

法治与中国当代法理学

三代领导集体的民主法制思想、法治实践与中国当代法理学息息相关 ,三者互动 ,推进了当代中国的法治进程和中国当代法理学的发展。     

宪法：从政治法到治政法

将宪法称为政治法,虽然由来久、流传广,但弊病多、危害深,不宜继续提倡。政治事务虽然由宪法集中规范,但宪法不只是规范政治事务。单纯从宪法与政治的关系上讲,宪法不是政治统治法、被政治控制之法,而是控制政治之法、治理政权之法。人民是政治与治政的主体,宪法是人民治政的依据与准则。将宪法作为治政法,体现了民主与民治的要求,有利于增强宪法的法律属性与价值理性,有利于实现宪治、实现民主、实现自由。     

计算法学:法律与人工智能的交叉研究

计算法学是随着人工智能在法学中深入应用而产生的一门交叉学科,使用建模、模拟等计算方法来分析法律关系,让法律信息从传统分析转为实时应答的信息化、智能化体系,旨在发现法律系统的运行规律。计算法学的核心思想是计算思维与法学思想的深度融合,研究者通过主体的分布式实时计算来分析法律行为,从而发现法律发展的深层规律。人工智能等增强技术应用于法学有利于丰富和发展法学基础理论,提升部门法科学性及协调性,减少法律系统运行摩擦。计算法学对于提高立法与司法效率、应对和规避技术风险等均具有积极作用。计算法学涉及计算法学理论、立法实验、司法预测、法律的语义挖掘、法律逻辑分析、司法管理系统、司法证据等几方面研究。计算法学吸引着众多法学、计算机科学研究者的目光,正在形成一个新的学科分支,并有望孕育出一批新的法律职业群体。     

The Law and the Constitution: Manifesto of the Progressive Party

This paper analyses the argument of Jennings' path-breaking work, The Law and the Constitution , and assesses its importance. The argument of the paper is that a basic tension runs through the evolving work: between celebrating the democratic nature of the contemporary constitution whilst expressing certain concerns about democracy's potential implications. This is a tension that Jennings was never able satisfactorily to resolve. The Law and the Constitution nevertheless remains a landmark text, especially in reminding lawyers of the need to look to the social and economic explanations for constitutional change. Although the constitution Jennings was writing about has altered, his public law method of examining the purpose for which public power is acquired before reflecting on desirable constraints remains of value today.
