“吴梅案”与判决后和解的处理机制 ——兼与王亚新教授商榷

我国传统的刑法学理论于20世纪50年代继承自前苏联的刑法学。因政治运动的影响,此种理论一度受到抑制甚至被废弃。进入20世纪80年代,传统刑法学基本处于恢复与重建的状态。传统刑法学是在法律虚无主义的背景下成长起来的,其构建本身就与当     

寻找最初的“夷” 东夷风俗与远古的法

甲骨文不仅是研究商代也是研究东夷社会历史的宝贵材料。"夷"指先秦的东夷民族。殷民族是东夷民族的一支。在甲骨文当中,"夷"字有多种写法,它们都是东夷民族各种风俗习惯的真实记录。这些风俗习惯不仅塑造着中国远古法的原生形态,而且在一定程度上影响着中国古代法的历史风貌和发展进程。     

论“完全代孕”协议的效力及其法律规制

"完全代孕"是真正具有互助、慈善和利他性质的代孕行为。"完全代孕"协议是一种特殊的委托代理合同,是一种具有较强专属性的身份性契约。在现行法律框架内应适用合同法的有关规定,对于其中涉及亲权和抚养权转移问题的,则应当适用婚姻法的有关规定。未来立法应当通过严格限定代孕行为的主体资格,规范"完全代孕"协议的内容,规范代孕协议的订立程序,规定"完全代孕"协议的解除条件和程序等,将"完全代孕"协议纳入法律规制的范畴。     

论我国中小投资者对证券市场的信心构建——以证券民事赔偿诉讼方式的选择为视角

证券市场上违背诚信的行为愈演愈烈,而人数众多的中小投资者却得不到应有的民事救济,如此,不仅有损受害者的利益,也将摧毁广大中小投资者对证券市场的信心.故在金融市场诚信为王的理念下,必须寻找可行的民事救济之路.梳理美国集团诉讼的优劣并进行本土化借鉴分析后发现,适合中国的证券民事赔偿诉讼方式的路径选择是应当恢复人数不确定的代表人诉讼,同时采用示范性诉讼方式及多元化纠纷解决机制,并糅合进集团诉讼的有利元素.     

Hong Kong's political influence over China: institutional,informative, and interactive dynamics of sovereignty

Abstract

This article explores how Hong Kong has exercised political influence on China since the transfer of sovereignty in 1997, and tries to comprehend such seemingly impossible influences by reinterpreting the concept of sovereignty. It argues that the British Hong Kong existed as a ‘reference society’ for China's modernization and helped to change Chinese perceptions of capitalism. As this resulted in Chinese recognition of the legitimacy of Hong Kong's colonial institutions, which were featured with political legacies of civic freedom and the rule of law, it also reveals the institutional dimension of sovereignty. Secondly, the information flow from Hong Kong to China reflects a communicative (in contrast to coercive) nature of sovereignty, which highlights Hong Kong's central position in the Chinese world of information. Thirdly, Hong Kong's ongoing democratization challenges Chinese authoritarianism through societal interactions that are beyond state control. Conceptually, in this article, state sovereignty is argued as being something fluid and constantly reshaped in everyday practice with institutional, informative, and interactive dynamics; practically, it attempts to find some remaining ‘silver lining’ to the growing authoritarian Chinese clouds above Hong Kong as reversing the logic of examining external factors in democratization.     

Where the homeless come from: A study of the prior address distribution of families admitted to public shelters in New York City and Philadelphia

Abstract

This study investigates hypotheses regarding the association of census tract variables with the risk for homelessness. We used prior address information reported by families entering emergency shelters in two large U.S. cities to characterize the nature ofthat distribution.

Three dense clusters of homeless origins were found in Philadelphia and three in New York City, accounting for 67 percent and 61 percent of shelter admissions and revealing that homeless families’ prior addresses are more highly concentrated than the poverty distribution in both cities. The rate of shelter admission is strongly and positively related to the concentration of poor, African‐American, and female‐headed households with young children in a neighborhood. It is also correlated with fewer youth, elderly, and immigrants. Such areas have higher rates of unemployment and labor force nonpartici‐pation, more housing crowding, more abandonment, higher rates of vacancy, and higher rent‐to‐income ratios than other areas.     

刑事辩护律师豁免权及其合理限制

辩护制度是刑事诉讼制度的重要组成部分,关系到刑事诉讼所追求的程序正义价值目标能否达到。辩护律师在保障人权,实现司法公正的同时,也承忍了巨大的风险。而辩护律师豁免权则能够使辩护律师免受不当法律责任的困扰,并因此切实保障律师在刑事诉讼过程中尽职尽责。为了避免辩护律师滥用其豁免权,危害诉讼秩序和司法秩序,对辩护律师豁免权也应当进行合理限制。     

社会公正与以德化民

道德教化与社会公正相辅相成,社会公正是社会主义公民道德教化的本质体现,也是建构高尚的公民道德的基本保障;以德化民有利于促进社会公正的实现。因此,实现社会公正是党和政府的重要任务。我们应该着重从党、国家、政府和社会等多个层面加强营造社会公正的氛围,从而为实现以德化民打下坚实的基础。     

影响农民工职业稳定性的分析框架与实证研究

在城市政府为农民工提供越来越多、更加公平的公共服务的同时,"招工难"现象却并未因此减少。在对"招工难"现象的解读中,供给总量的增速减缓是一个方面,农民工职业的高流动性也不容忽视,因为农民工的频繁流动不仅造成企业用工成本增加,而且因摩擦性失业的上升放大了市场用工的紧缺现象。本文在基础理论和相关文献研究的基础上,初步拟定了一个影响农民工职业稳定的分析框架,拟从个体特征、经济水平、流动经历和职业满意度四个方面测量具有显著性的影响因素。本文的研究结论表明,新一代农民工教育程度有所提高,形成了较高的求职期望,但农民工难以从提高的教育投资中获得物质利益,因而职业流动性增强,流动经历没有对农民工的职业稳定性产生惯性的持续影响。与客观的工资水平相比,主观的工作发展、工作待遇和工作条件满意度才会对职业稳定性产生显著正效应,且尤以工作发展满意度最为重要。
