论调解制度在仲裁中的发展

调解是解决纷争的有效途径,也是非诉讼纠纷解决机制中的首选方式,在我国尤其有深厚的文化基础,其发展也经历了空前发达到衰落又到逐步复苏的历程。本文即对我国现行仲裁调解制度的特点及缺陷进行了分析,认为欲更好地发挥调解在仲裁中的作用,就必须对仲裁制度进行相应改革:一是要在仲裁规则中对调解的整套程序进行具体的规定,使调解能够贯彻仲裁程序始终;二是确立调解协议的法律效力。     

投资人与上市公司证券纠纷可仲裁性探讨

证券市场上因虚假陈述、操纵股价、内幕交易、欺诈客户等违法行为导致投资者利益受损,在我国目前通过司法救济不仅尚不完全且困难重重,而快捷便利的仲裁在这方面亦未发挥应有的作用。无论从证券仲裁的价值理念,还是国外的仲裁实践抑或我国的立法状况,仲裁机构受理投资者与上市公司及相关当事人之间的证券纠纷应当不存在障碍。我国的仲裁机构应当敢为人先,率先制定自己的证券仲裁规则,尽早将投资者与上市公司及相关当事人之间的证券纠纷纳入到仲裁范围。

The Politics of Food Regulation and Reform in Ireland

Amid a period of increasing political anxiety generated by the BSE crisis, the Irish Government sought to replace a confusing medley of food regulations with a single agency responsible for regulating food from the 'farm to the fork'. Presented as a radical departure from a regime previously discredited, its remit would be to redefine the relationship between risk assessment, management and communication. In this context, the paper puts forward three principal arguments. First, that while the Minister for Health and Children was keen to extol both the scientific credentials of the agency, and the importance of shifting regulatory responsibility from the Department of Agriculture and Food (DAF) to the Department of Health and Children (DOHC), what remains novel is the manner in which reform has managed to retain political access for influential agri-business interests. Second, that any reform undertaken should be fully cognisant of the international agreements between the European Union and the World Trade Organisation which extended further a free market in food trade. The agency's institutional architecture therefore was framed with the intention of restoring market confidence without threatening the habitat of those multi-national companies that occupy this arena. Finally, that the role of science (and risk) in food regulation has altered. Rather than perform the task of sustaining order through responsible government, science now participates in (re)constituting order through the market.

Violent victimization and involvement in delinquency: Examining predictions from general strain theory

In a recent critique and elaboration of general strain theory, Agnew (2001) argued that criminal victimization might be among the most consequential strains experienced by adolescents, and therefore might be an important cause of delinquency. Few studies to date, however, had examined victimization as a potential cause—rather than outcome—of delinquency. This article addresses this void by examining predictions from general strain theory about the effects of victimization on later involvement in delinquency. The analyses indicated that violent victimization significantly predicted later involvement in delinquency, even when controlling for the individual's earlier involvement in delinquency. Moreover, general strain theory appears to be a useful theoretical framework for examining this relationship. The effects of victimization on delinquency were explained in part by its effects on anger (the key intervening variable specified by the theory). Partial support also emerged for the theory's hypothesis that the effects of strain should be conditional upon other factors. Specifically, the effects of victimization were marginally greater for juveniles with weak emotional attachment to their parents and significantly greater for those low in self-control.     

“中间裁决”的概念有待明确——兼与部分裁决、先行裁决、临时裁决比较

在我国“中间裁决”也已经写进了不少仲裁机构的仲裁规则里,“中间裁决”的案件已不陌生,但各个仲裁委的规则的概念是不一样的,我国《仲裁法》没有涉及这个问题,这样导致同样的一份裁决,在这个仲裁机构被称为“中间裁决”,在另一个仲裁机构可能被冠以“部分裁决”或者“先行裁决”等等,并且在实践中还可能使案件陷入两难境地。本文就此问题抛砖引玉,以期仲裁同仁进一步探讨。     

GASB's Survival Potential: An Agency Theory Perspective

The primary objective of this article is to develop a framework for examining the survival or demise of an accounting standards setting body, with specific emphasis on analyzing the survival potential of the proposed GASB (Government Accounting Standards Board). In meeting this objective, we will first contrast the survival of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with the demise of the Cost Accounting Standards Board (CASE), based on a framework derived from recent developments in agency theory.
The position taken in this article is neither that of an advocate nor an adversary of the various accounting regulatory bodies discussed. Instead, the authors' intent is to shed light on the complex issues surrounding the potential for survival of such bodies. An improved understanding of these issues should, in turn, permit a more enlightened analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of such bodies.
