Nationalistic feelings and sports: The incident of the overseas Chinese protest against NBC's coverage of the centennial Olympic games

In NBC's coverage of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, Bob Costas’ remarks about Team China invited furious and persistent protests from the overseas Chinese. The protests, which were chiefly based on situational ethics, garnered an extensive grassroots support and continued for weeks after the Atlanta Olympics had finished. Under pressure from the protestors, NBC made a public apology. In response to the protests and NBC's apology, the US media expressed strong discontent. The arguments were basically supported by political correctness. Thus, situational ethics collided with political correctness. Although the protest against NBC appeared to be an accidental incident, a careful review of the incident and the opinions voiced by both sides reveals that the anger of the overseas Chinese with NBC, which justified itself in a number of ways, bears a variety of social and political implications, and that the US media's position has also been justified by the norms that have been formed over the past few years and accepted by the media and the majority of the American public alike. An explanation for the causes of the protest incident begs an in‐depth analysis of broad social and political factors.     

冷战后世界地缘政治格局特征

冷战后,世界地缘政治格局发生深刻变化。划分世界的中轴位置从原来的美苏之间改变为西方与非西方之间。美国赢得了唯一的超强地位,同时世界格局正在多极化发展。欧亚大陆仍然是全球地缘政治竞争的中央舞台,美国与欧亚本地大国争夺欧亚地缘政治空间。欧亚大陆内部的地缘政治结构正在发生深刻变化,以大国关系为主线,形成新的地缘政治组合体。     

乌拉圭回合《农业协议》国内支持条款缺陷问题研究

乌拉圭回合《农业协议》实现了农产品到多边贸易体制的回归,但协议并不是对国际农产品贸易的永久性安排,各成员仍有义务通过后续谈判,不断提高国际市场农产品贸易自由化水平直至完全实现自由化。因此,研究《农业协议》国内支持条款的局限性与执行中存在的问题,分析新一轮农产品多边谈判中应修正的问题,对于我国实施国内支持条款和参加新一轮农业多边谈判,具有理论和实践意义。

国际法的效力根据与国际政治格局的演变

国际法的效力根据问题,是国际法学中的一个基本理论问题,应该从应然和实然两个层面去解释,国际法的效力根据与国际政治格局发展之间密切相关,历史上大致有理想主义的观点、传统现实主义的观点和新现实主义的观点三类。当前伊拉克战争所导致的国际法的效力危机,是现行国际法与当代国际社会之间的矛盾的集中反映,它将孕育国际法效力根据学说一个新的发展。     

侵占罪的保护法益是返还请求权

主流观点认为侵占罪的保护法益是所有权。然而,所有权说无法处理被害人没有所有权但有返还请求权的案件。侵占罪的保护法益应是返还请求权,而所有权只是返还请求权的基础之一。并且,在请求权审查顺序上,基于合同的返还请求权优先于基于所有权的返还请求权。侵占"代为保管物"包括两种类型:一是侵犯基于合同的返还请求权;二是侵犯基于不当得利的返还请求权。侵占"遗忘物、埋藏物",侵犯的是基于所有权的返还请求权。基于以上结论,关于侵占罪的构成要件行为,应当跳出"占有→所有"的传统行为框架,并且,侵占罪的行为对象不必是行为人事先占有的财物。对侵占罪实现认知升级以后,不法原因给付问题也能得到妥当解决。

情谊行为的法律分析——以法律对情谊行为之介入为视角

情谊行为,又称好意施惠行为,是指人类社会的情感交际活动和互惠互助活动。通常情况下,情谊行为的双方当事人主观上并无设定法律上权利义务关系之效果意思,故部分观点认为其不属于法律的调整范围,而属于道德和伦理的调整范围。但是从司法实践的角度观之,情谊行为并不完全等同于道德行为,也不一定不会引起法律后果,如情谊行为引起的合理信赖保护与侵权责任。从大陆法系与英美法系对情谊行为的相关制度与判例中可以发现,法律会介入情谊行为并产生某种法律后果。而这种介入有别于其对法律行为的介入,法律对情谊行为的介入有相应的限度。若能将法律对情谊行为之介入体系化与类型化,或能成为又一个"法律上之发现"。
