Abe Pullsan About Face

<正>The PM’s recent interview with Chinese media augurs well for Sino-Japanese relations,but was this a carefully stage-managed PR stunt?In southwest China’s Sichuan Province,there exists an ancient performance art called "face changing." With the raise of a hand,the swing of a sleeve or a toss of the head,actors change from one face to another almost instantaneously to exude different emotions.     

全球反恐形势下的媒体角色

自从“9．11”袭击之后，反恐成为一个严峻的全球问题。国家安全成为一顼至上的公共利益，很多国家采取了新的反恐措施，新的问题也随之而来。全球性的国家安全面临的新威胁致使很多政府采取了过激的措施来打击恐怖主义，损害了值得珍惜的价值准则和人权。恐怖主义对人权造成了严重的威胁，而一些不必要的、激烈的反恐措施亦将人权置于危险境地，其产生的负面结果之一即为——借国家安全之名削减新闻自由。

A comparative analysis of Inspector responses to complaints about psychosocial and physical hazards

Work Health and Safety Inspectors are at the forefront of efforts to protect workers from harm from psychosocial hazards, yet the application of regulatory theory to their practice has been limited. Drawing on models of responsive regulation and strategic enforcement, we analyze extensive (N = 46,348) complaint and incident notification data from an Australian Work Health and Safety Inspectorate, to compare Inspectors' responses to psychosocial versus non-psychosocial hazards. We found psychosocial hazards were less likely to be actioned than non-psychosocial hazards. When they were actioned, psychosocial hazards saw more Inspector activity, but fewer enforcement notices than non-psychosocial hazards. These findings are inconsistent with the version of responsive regulation espoused by the regulator. Our theoretical conclusion is that Weil's strategic enforcement approach is likely to offer greater possibilities for guiding future resource allocation.     

法律体系的新成员——案例指导制度

案例指导制度是我们国家司法制度新近确立的一个组成部分。作为新生事物,它与我们现存的法律体系、法律制度是否兼容,这是值得探讨的。在大陆法系国家,案例制度一开始也受到了排斥,但後来还是逐步引进并确立了案例制度。我认为,对于中国而言,正在讨论建立的案例指导制度,与立法、司法、执法,包括法律职业、法律教育也应该是兼容的,而不是排斥的。
