民办教育发展中的几个法律问题探析

<中华人民共和国民办教育促进法>及其实施条例等法律法规的颁布,给我国的民办教育带来了机遇,但对于民办教育发展中出现的一些问题,现行法律还存在模糊和有争议之处,在一定程度上影响了民办学校的正常发展,抑制了民办教育投资者的积极性.本文探讨了我国民办教育的概念界定及民办教育中几个突出的法律问题,并在此基础上提出了完善民办教育的相关对策和建议.     

公诉案件简易程序法律制度改革与适用机制完善

简易程序是1996年修订《中华人民共和国刑事诉讼法》（以下简称《刑事诉讼法》）中增设的刑事审判程序。增设简易程序的初衷在于＂加快办案进度,节省法院的人力投入,提高审判工作效率,同时也可以使法院腾出更多的力量集中处理疑难、复杂、重大的刑事案件,符合诉讼经济原则,是实现刑事诉讼科学化和高效率的一个重要途径。①＂但是,＂作为一种现代社会的诉讼程序,其价值目标显然不止     

实行“5＋1＋1”管理教育罪犯新模式亟待解决的问题及思考

周永康同志在全国政法系统学习贯彻党的十七大精神和胡锦涛总书记重要讲话专题研讨班上的讲话中提出：＂监管场所要把刑释解教人员重新违法犯罪率作为衡量监管工作的首要标准,确保教育改造工作取得实效。＂这是新时期中央领导同志对监狱工作提出的新要求。坚持＂首要标准＂,把改造人放在监狱工作第一位,是新的历史时期党和人民赋予监狱工作的历史使命。     

The Ongoing Reforms to China's Government and State Sector: The case of the energy industry

Though the reforms announced by the Chinese government in the spring of 1998 appear to be substantial and wide ranging, by themselves they may have little impact either on the effectiveness of government or on the performance of the state industries. Two outstanding problems are the structure and allocation of responsibilities within the government, and the excessive power of the state companies. The tasks of regulation and policy formulation in the energy sector should be clearly allocated in a simple administrative structure which specifically excludes any role for the state companies. The present structure of the state-owned energy industries is such that these companies have a great deal of power, not only in the market but also with respect to the government.

When markets fail to deliver: An examination of the privatization and de‐privatization of water and wastewater services delivery in Hamilton,Canada

Abstract: The emergence of the “New Public Management” (NPM) and its faith in markets led governments to search for alternative methods in the delivery of public services. One of the most popular methods was privatization. The rationale behind the choice of privatization is based on what Charles Wolf describes as “non‐market failure.” This article argues that the market may not be as efficient as its proponents have asserted, especially when there is a monopoly over service delivery. This has been the case in many municipalities, in some developed countries, where privatization of water service delivery has reverted to public delivery. Using the City of Hamilton's experience with its water and wastewater services as an example, the authors' finding is that the nature of the good to be delivered is essential in determining whether the “market” or the “public” provides the best method of service delivery. Sommaire : L'émergence de la Nouvelle gestion publique (NGP) et sa foi dans les marchés ont conduit les gouvernements à rechercher des méthodes de rechange pour la prestation des services publics. L'une des méthodes les plus populaires est la privatisation. La justification du choix de la privatisation est fondée sur ce que Charles Wolf décrit comme un ≪“échec du non marché”≫. L'article fait valoir que le marché pourrait ne pas être aussi efficace que ses adeptes l'ont prétendu, en particulier lorsqu'il existe un monopole dans la prestation des services. Cela fut le cas dans de nombreuses municipalités de certains pays développés, où la privatisation de la prestation de leurs services en eau est repassée à la prestation publique. En prenant comme exemple l'expérience de la ville d'Hamilton concernant ses services d'approvisionnement en eau et d'évacuation des eaux usées, l'article conclut que la nature du produit à livrer est déterminante pour savoir si c'est le “marché” ou le “public” qui fournit la meilleure méthode de prestation de services.     

我国商事仲裁制度改革若干建议

随着经济全球化的发展,我国现有仲裁制度的局限与不足日渐明显,需要积极进行改革,包括：应减少对仲裁机构的行政干预,确保其独立的民间地位;借鉴外国相关立法和经验,对仲裁协议作比较宽松的规定及解释;为提高仲裁效率,应赋予临时仲裁相应的法律地位;法院对仲裁的司法干预应不断弱化,而对仲裁的协助应不断加强。     

The Competition for Pupillages at the Bar of England and Wales (2000–2004)1

Fair entry into the legal profession promotes legal legitimacy and the inclusiveness of the administration of justice. This article asks which individual factors predict success in the competition for entry to the Bar of England and Wales. Using data from 2,178 British aspiring barristers, it finds that university attended and attainment at university and in the BVC were the strongest predictors of gaining pupillage. Ethnic minorities were initially disadvantaged in the competition for pupillages, but this became statistically insignificant when taking into account attainment and type of university. However, those aged 30 and above were still disadvantaged in securing pupillages when controlling for attainment and university. The article highlights the challenges of fair selection into a graduate‐entry legal profession. Entry is reliant on the profile of graduates emerging from the prior education system where ascribed characteristics such as ethnicity, attainment, and university type influence opportunities.     

耶路撒冷问题文化探源--对巴以新争端的思考

种种迹象表明,随着巴勒斯坦和以色列双方有关定居点和难民等棘手问题的逐步解决,耶路撒冷归属这一敏感问题将会成为巴以冲突中的新焦点。对耶路撒冷的文化探溯旨在说明:要想真正实现巴以和平,就必须合情合理地解决耶路撒冷问题。要想圆满地解决此问题,既要正视耶路撒冷复杂和动荡的政治历史,还应尊重耶路撒冷人特殊的宗教文化情感,更要兼顾阿拉伯和犹太两个民族的现实利益。要想尽快解决此问题,单靠美国、以色列和阿拉伯国家不行,还必须寻求欧盟、中国、俄罗斯等国际社会多方合作,而非美国单方主导的解决模式。中东和平问题,始于耶路撒冷,还会终于耶路撒冷。
