An Interview with Xie Huaishi

Entrusted by Global Law Review and permitted by Mr Xie Huaishi, I was very fortunate to interview, in mid-June, China's greatest civil jurist of this generation. Professor Xie is in his 80s, yet he looks hale and hearty, and his mind is agile. His study was in his bedroom. At that time, Professor Xie was proofreading, like a hero with great aspirations, the Chinese translation of the General Section of the German Civil Code, written by Kal Larenz.

邢亦民先生访谈录

本刊去年夏季号刊出《王怀安先生访谈录》后 ,引起一定反响。本期我们又推出另一位硕果仅存的新中国司法界元老邢亦民先生访谈录。与王老一样 ,邢老也是在参加学生运动中接触到革命思想并进而投身到中国共产党领导的革命事业。所不同的是 ,王老接受过科班法律教育 ,又一直从事政法工作。而邢老则接受的是普通师范教育 ,参加革命后长期从事军队政治工作 ,1 949年以后方才由军官转业做了法官。由于教育背景、工作履历不同 ,思想、感受自然也不尽相同。不过 ,在新中国的政法干部队伍中 ,像邢老这样由军官转向法官的或许更具典型意义和普遍意义。惟需说明的是 ,本栏目追求忠实反映受访者本人的观点 ,而非表达本刊的立场。

落实十六大精神 依法规范司法鉴定管理——司法部张军副部长答本刊记者问

我国现行的司法鉴定管理体制产生于计划经济时期，定型于上世纪八十年代，基本上适应了当时的政治、经济、社会乃至法制建设的需求，在特定历史阶段发挥了重要作用。随着社会主义市场经济体制的建立与完善，利益的多元化使矛盾和纠纷大量增加，社会的发展与科技的进步导致司法实践中高科技和各种专门性问题大量出现，诉讼中需要鉴定的事项越来越多；     

Liberalism and Minority Rights. An Interview

The interview focuses on Kymlicka's major area of research, i.e., the issue of minority rights. Kymlicka explains why the rights of national minorities have been traditionally neglected in the Western political tradition. He argues that these rights promote individual freedom, and so should be seen as promoting liberal democratic principles. The interview covers many issues including the relationship between ethno-cultural groups and other forms of "identity politics"; how to individuate cultural groups with legitimate claims to minority rights; whether something like a "cosmopolitan view" can seriously challenge the need for minority rights; what are the dangers of building transnational political institutions such as the EU for democratic citizenship; what are the bases of social unity in multination states and what are the limits of toleration of illiberal minorities.

Proto-fascism and State impunity in Majoritarian India: An Interview with Teesta Setalvad

This interview with Teesta Setalvad was conducted in the wake of the February 2020 anti-Muslim violence in North East Delhi. Drawing on her vast experience as a human rights activist, journalist, and peace educator, Setalvad’s responses map the continuum — across years, anti-minority pogroms and ruling parties with divergent ideologies — of the cultures of hate, and the practices of state repression and impunity in a proto-fascist India. Setalvad offers an interrogation of the ideology of the Hindu right, delves into the historical trajectories of the rise of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). She also charts the repeating patterns of police and media complicity in fomenting anti-minority hate and critically analyses the contradictory role of the criminal law and the Constitution of India in both enabling and resisting communal violence. In conclusion, she offers hopeful strategies for keeping alive the promise of secularism.

An Empirical Test of the Behaviour Analysis Interview

The present experiment is the first empirical test of the Behaviour Analysis Interview (BAI), an interview technique developed by F. E. Inbau, J. E. Reid, J. P. Buckley, & B. C. Jayne (2001) designed to evoke different verbal and non-verbal responses from liars and truth-tellers. Inbau et al. expect liars to be less helpful than truth-tellers in investigations and to exhibit more nervous behaviours. Just the opposite predictions, however, follow from the deception literature, which notes that liars take their credibility less for granted and are therefore more aware of their responses and their impact on others. This suggests that liars' answers should be more helpful than truth-tellers' answers, and liars' non-verbal responses should appear more relaxed than truth-tellers' non-verbal responses. In the present experiment, 40 participants (undergraduate students) lied or told the truth about an event during a BAI interview. The interviews were coded according to Inbau et al.'s guidelines. The results showed that, compared to liars, truth-tellers (a) were more naive and evasive when explaining the purpose of the interview, and (b) were less likely to name someone who they felt certain did not commit the crime. Truth-tellers also exhibited more nervous behaviours. The results were consistent with the predictions of the deception literature, and directly opposed to the predictions of BAI.     

The Practice of Nonviolence in the Contemporary World: An Interview with Daniel Berrigan

Critical race theory provides a much‐needed framework for improving the study of race and racism's influence on psychological health and illness. Implicating the mundane and extraordinary, critical race theory explains how racism determines lifestyles and life chances. It also clarifies the individual and institutional nature of racism. Such clarification should be meaningful to sociologists of mental health, especially those interested in how race‐related inequality alters the distribution of psychological health and illness. Towards improving research linking race and racism with mental health, the present essay exposes five weaknesses in the sociology of mental health literature: (1) misspecification of perceived discrimination; (2) neglect of the psychological wages of Whiteness; (3) conflation of race and ethnicity; (4) assumption of mental health measurement invariance; and (5) disregard for narratives about how racism hurts mental health. These weaknesses and the strategies for overcoming them are uncovered by systematically applying select critical race theory tenets.     

从美国Moseley案看商标淡化的界定

由于淡化理论发展的不完善,美国<1995联邦商标淡化法案>的立法过程过于仓促,使得对商标淡化的界定在法院之间一直存在着可能淡化标准与实际淡化标准的争议.在前不久的Moseley案中,美国联邦最高法院出人意料地裁决,应以实际损害来认定商标淡化的存在.这表面上为争议给出了最终的结论,但是问题远未得到真正的解决.我国在司法实践中对淡化进行界定时可以从中加以借鉴.
