论行政法的宪政基础——对行政法与宪法之间关系的再认识

在对行政法与宪法之间关系的认识上,我国行政法学界的主流观点存在一定的片面性。事实上,行政法与宪法具有作为公法的同一性;两者之间也存在作为部门法的差异性;最为重要的是,“宪政国家是行政法的前提”,行政法必须构建在宪政基础之上——行政权的合法性来自于其在宪政结构中的地位与职能、宪政控制行政法治的性质与方向、宪政决定并塑造行政法的风貌与品格。中国行政法同样需要具备宪政基础。

日本行政法学理构造的变革——以行政过程论为观察视角

日本战后的行政法学大体经历了两个发展阶段,第一个阶段(1960—1980年)是在批判公私法二元论的基础上重构行政法解释学,第二个阶段(1990年至今)是在反思行政法总论功能定位的基础上探索与其它学科的交流与融合。而行政过程论在这两个阶段当中发挥了承前启后的重要作用。     

中国行政程序法立法展望

行政程序法是现代国家规范行政权力的基本法,它的制定对国家机关之间的关系、国家与公民之间的关系有着深远影响。当前,中国在国家层面制定统一的行政程序立法的时机已经完全成熟。本文希望通过对行政程序法的立法目的、行政程序法典与其他单行法的关系、中国行政程序法的内容选择、立法架构及立法路径等问题的探讨,为推动我国统一行政程序立法献绵薄之力。     

行政法概念新论

行政法概念是我们认识行政法的基础,是构建我国行政法体系的前提条件。然而关于行政法概念的争论由来已久,至今仍无定论。而综观各种行政法概念,皆存有众多缺陷,究其原因,即对概念本身并不掌握,致使对行政法概念的认识总是不能周延把握。而本文即试从概念本身入手,导引出对行政法概念的新的认识,希冀对行政法的进一步完善发展贡献一点微薄之力。     

论部门行政法的规范和调整对象

部门行政法的划分标准不是单一的,必须同时考虑其规范对象。法律形 式、职能权限等多种因素,若于因素综合在一起共同使部门行政法有了自己的内涵。确定 部门行政法的调整对象,也须从多种角度进行比较分析,部门行政法主要规范行政相对 人,以保护行政权为主旨,侧重调整管理关系或私权关系;行政法则主要规范行政主体, 以限制行政权为主旨,侧重调整行政关系或公权关系。部门行政法的体系构架可以有不 同的选择模式,从职权行使的主体、各类管理关系以及行政权的范畴等多种角度都可以 构架部门行政法体系。

论行政诉讼中的调解——兼与朱新力教授商榷

当前,我国行政诉讼司法实践中广泛存在法院调解现象,这与《行政诉讼法》禁止调解的规定形成冲突。实践表明,在行政诉讼中适用调解具有一定的合理性。《行政诉讼法》应当适时加以修改,确立有条件适用调解的原则,同时明确规定调解适用的原则和范围。     

中国行政执法困境的个案解读

Due to lack of effective, and adequate communication on the standpoint of the government and the attitudes of civil society in legislative process, this has led to tension between the government and the general public. Within the context of law enforcement, the government sticks to “problem-based strategies” and “campaign-based enforcement”, who believe in the power of coercive force. As a way out of the dilemma in law enforcement, it is required that in the process of rule-making, the government should communicate effectively with the civil society in the institutionalized system, focusing on learning, reflection, and strategic adjustment. Wang Xixin, Professor at Law School of Peking University. Since 1999, Prof. Wang is a working member of China Administrative Legislative Research Group an academic team advising China’s Legal Affairs Working Commission on administrative law reforms. Since 2001, he is a major drafter for China’s Administrative Procedure Act. Since 2002, he is a research consultant for the NPC Standing Committee General Office. Since 2003, he is a research fellow of the China Law Center of Yale Law School. Since 2005, he is a Vice-chairman of Beijing Administrative Law Society. In academia, Prof. Wang is focused on administrative procedure, public participation, rulemaking and comparative administrative studies, whose publications include books, such as “Administrative Procedure: A Theoretic and Institutional Inquiry” (Beijing, 2007) and “Public Participation and Administrative Process” (Beijing, 2007) and some 30 articles for journals published in China and America. Moreover, Prof. Wang often submits papers and gives lectures in academic forums, including Columbia Law School, Yale Law School, the Woodrow Wilson Center for Int’l Scholarship, and Carnige Endowment for Int’l Peace.
