Marketization,Class Structure,and Democracy in China: Contrasting Regional Experiences

After two and half decades of market reforms in China, the question of whether reforms have created favourable social conditions for democracy and whether the country's emerging entrepreneurial class will serve as the democratic social base have become hotly debated issues in both academic and policy circles. Based upon an analysis of two regions – Sunan and Wenzhou, the two prototypical local development patterns in China – the article argues that different patterns of economic development have produced distinct local level social and political configurations, only one of which is likely to foster the growth of democratic practices. It suggests that China's political future is largely dependent upon the emerging class structure and class relations that reform and development have produced. If the market reforms and economic development only enrich a few (like the Sunan case), then the possibility of democratic transition will likely be very bleak. Nonetheless, the possibility of a brighter alternative exists, as demonstrated by the Wenzhou case. These arguments thus link China's political transition to critical social conditions, echoing Barrington Moore's influential work on the social origins of democracy and dictatorship.     

重访司法能动主义

司法能动主义的发展重心经历了从"司法审查"到"权利保障"的转变,界定司法能动主义的标准也由单一趋向了多元。宣布其他机构的违宪行为无效、忽视或放弃司法先例、造法性司法、违反解释方法、结果导向的判决,是司法能动主义的主要表现形态。积极发现和回应社会现实需求并扩大权利救济,合理地控制政府权力,法官职业群体的中立性、超然地位和审慎反思性,是司法能动主义正当性的主要所在。面对反多数难题、自然法与个人偏好入侵司法等诸多质疑,司法能动主义需要合理确定自身的限度,坚守宪法边界,并审慎地展开自己的行动。

Why Is There an ISIL?

In June 2014,the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)1——an extremist organization——suddenly appeared in Mosul in Northern Iraq.Since then it has rapidly expanded its sphere of influence,to incorporate much of northern and western Iraq.Strategists,both in China and overseas,are puzzling over this Islamic State.Some scholars argue that the west Asian political landscape that was carved out 100 years ago is collapsing.ISIL's influence is spreading throughout the Middle East and threatening global security.

传统医药的著作权和数据库保护

文献和数据库是传统医药的物质载体,通过对传统医药文献进行重新整理和汇编,可以得到著作权或专门的数据库权的保护,这对于传统医药知识的保留、整理、发展和利用具有重要作用.但著作权或专门的数据库权只能给予传统医药有限的保护,仅仅是传统医药保护的开端,是建立对包括传统医药在内的传统知识防御性保护(Defensive Protection)或积极性保护(Positive Protection)体系的必要工具和手段.建立这些保护体系需要国际社会、世界各国以及土著部落的积极参与和合作.     

试论地下信用交易的法律性质

<正> 近年来报刊经常反映,投资者用于证券投资的资金、证券往往发生暂时性缺失——要么是填单买进时被告知资金帐户上没有足够的资金,要么是卖出时被告知股票帐户上没有足够的股票。通常,经投资者再三追问,缺失的资金或股票又回到了投资者的名下。为什么投资者的资金或证券会发生暂时性的缺失?直观看,至少有两个原因:①券商工作人员挪用投资者的股票或资金牟取私利。②券商擅自利用投资者的股票或者资金提供给其他投资者进行融资或融券交易。这两种情况都是利用不属于自己的资金或者证券从事证券交易,即所谓偷鸡下蛋,暗中还鸡不还蛋的无本生意。问题是,到底该怎样把握这种行为的法律性质?一说应以挪用公款认定,一说应叫做盗用,一说应称为非法透支交易,一说应视为信用交易。笔者认为,如以“地下信用交易”概括这种行为的法律性质也许更加贴切,因为这种行为与规范的信用交易、挪用公款都有着明显的区别。
