辩诉交易程序中的被害人问题研究——以英、美为中心

在国内学界激烈争论的辩诉交易程序之中,被害人的权利缺失与权利保障是一个尚未被触及的领域,而这一问题正是已经在立法上采纳了辩诉交易的国家围绕着该制度的存废所探讨的核心问题,本文在考察了英美两国辩诉交易中被害人地位以及权利的问题之后,从确立被害人权利的合理界限的角度提出了构建符合诉讼各方利益的我国新型辩诉交易制度框架的设想。     

Asian values revisited

  With Asia's economy still booming in the second half of the 1990's “Asian values” were announced by some politicians (Lee Kuan Yew, Mahatir, Ishihara, Mahbubani etc.) and contrasted with “Western values”. Soon a controversial debate within Asia ensued (Kim, Fidel Ramos ea..), into which also the western democracies joined. The “West” however reacted rather defensively to the new assertiveness of some Asian statesmen, inspite of the fact that the authors of this debate put into question the western dominance in global value setting which has been in existence since the French revolution. But has this debate withstood the test of time, the challenges posed by the recession in Asia and by the ever increasing globalization? Hardly. The crisis has destroyed the notion that “Asian values” had been the main cause and guarantor of Asia's exorbitant growth rates. While in the West Christianity forms the essential basics of culture, in Asia there is a multitude of coexisting - and frequently confronting world religions. There is no other continent which in cultural and political terms is so contradictory and potentially conflict ridden like Asia. “Asianism” as a concept was surely also intended as an instrument to integrate multiethnic Asian societies with weak internal cohesion. At the same time it served to neutralize the human rights issue. In the meantime the debate has become quieter and more dispassionate. In the developed West the notion gained acceptance to abandon “Eurocentrism”. At the same time there is recognition that “Asian values” are not exclusive. Also in Europe the family plays a special role. A debate on values is needed for societal integration – also in the “West” which should become more aware of the need to reassert the origins of its own spiritual foundations. Following September 11th the west is well advised to continue the dialogue on values with Asia.

农民工权益保障的行政法视角

农民工权益保障问题是当代社会的焦点问题,从根本上解决农民工的权益保障应当依靠法治,而行政法治是依法保障农民工合法权益的关键。从行政法的角度保障农民工权益要注意:转变行政理念,确立保障农民工权益的人本法治观;恪守行政法基本原则,不折不扣地保障农民工合法权益;加大行政立法的力度,完善农民工权益保障的法律制度;加强行政法律监督,畅通农民工权益保障的法律救济渠道。     

建立国际政治重大事件科学预测机制的设想

2001年在美国发生的“9·11事件”在某种意义上来讲是人类战争新的里程碑。突然袭击的凶残,悲剧的惨烈,让各国政府以及全球善良的民众大为震撼。美国政府事前的毫无警觉,事发时的措手不及,事后的亡羊补牢,以及全球国际政治领域的诸多马后炮,不得不让我们思索这样的国际政治重大     

当前中国社会的结构性矛盾与构建开放政治体系简论

21世纪初叶,对中国来说将会是一个非常特殊的时期,自上一世纪80年代以来,因社会转型而累积起来的各种矛盾也许会在这一时期以更加严峻和尖锐的形式表现出来,如何消解或缓和这些矛盾,避免社会再次出现20世纪时期那些大的历史性动荡,是每一个有责任心的中国人尤其是共产党人所不得不严肃对待的问题.愚以为逐步开放政治系统,以此拓展共产党执政的社会政治资源,将会是消解和缓和当前社会矛盾的重要途径之一.     

规制知识产权滥用的法理与现实思考

一、何谓“权利滥用”和“知识产权滥用”(一)何谓“权利滥用”在罗马法上,具有深刻的个人主义的法权观念,出现了“行使自己的权利无论对于何人,皆非不法”的法谚。到了近代,由于自然法学派及自由主义、个人主义的兴起,“权利绝对”的思想形成。在法国大革命的《人权宣言》中,有“所有权不可侵犯性”和“财产权的绝对性”     

Race as a factor in university admissions

In two recent cases, Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 306. (2003) and Gratz v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 244. (2003), the Supreme Court held that the Equal Protection Clause permitted state schools to use race-sensitive admissions in order to obtain the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body. The diversity-based argument for race-sensitive admissions, scholarships, awards, and other opportunities at universities should have been rejected because it does not consider the full range of costs and benefits and because the more narrow educational effects probably weigh against such programs. However, this does not suggest that applicants’ race, ethnicity, and gender should be ignored. Rather the same consideration that led to the defeat of the diversity argument, i.e., reasoning capacity, supports the consideration of demographic factors. However, attention to such factors further undermines the consequentialist case for affirmative action.

刑事司法中公民的容忍义务及其限度

公民容忍义务源于每个人为求权利和自由需分出部分私权演绎为公权，所有人的付出意味着个人承担的义务比他的需要对应的义务更多，公权是放大了的私权。公民容忍的限度涉及刑事司法人权保障的规则化、伦理化，目前的看法相当暧昧。公民容忍义务具有共识性、比例性、条件性和模糊性四个方面的特征。对公民应当服从的公权力应通过必要性原则、比例原则来制约，找到个人权利与警察权、检察权、司法权的平衡点，以保障公民的人权。
