附条件不起诉考察制度的构建探析——在《刑事诉讼法》修正案和比较法研究双重视角下

2012年初,《刑事诉讼法》修正案正式通过,附条件不起诉制度在我国刑事诉讼程序中获得正式确认。但修正案中就附条件不起诉制度仅做了原则性规定,尚需由最高人民检察院制定细则予以规范。文章试图对附条件不起诉制度中的考察制度进行探讨,通过与德国、日本、美国、我国台湾地区等近似制度的比较分析,从考察的主体、内容、期限、配套机制及处理结果等方面,大胆提出考察制度架构的设想,以为在实践中规范适用附条件不起诉制度提出建议。     

加强和创新社会管理视域中民主党派作用的思考

加强和创新社会管理是中国特色的社会建设之重大课题,民主党派参与其中有其重大理论意义和现实意义。改革开放三十多年来,我国经济社会发展取得突出成就,经济社会正处在深刻转型期,转型期也是矛盾凸显期,这给社会管理和民主党派都带来较多新的挑战。民主党派如何做到既克服自身局限性,又在多党合作框架下充分发挥自身优势、积极参与社会管理及其创新,在中国特色的社会建设中有所建树?解决此问题有如下路径:民主党派参与政权,积极促进改善民生;民主党派议政、参与民主协商,加强联系社会,促进民意畅通机制,促进社会公平正义;民主党派进行民主监督,促进反腐倡廉建设;民主党派进行调查研究,利于把握社会建设规律。     

气候政治的俄罗斯因素——俄罗斯参与国际气候合作的立场、问题与前景

长期以来,俄罗斯在国际气候合作中的影响被广泛忽视。俄罗斯曾经是《京都议定书》得以生效的关键性促成力量;未来数年俄罗斯仍将是世界性的能源大国;其累计的高额碳信用额度引起了欧盟和美国的担忧;其拥有的强大的碳隔离能力如若不善加管理,则有可能从碳库转化成碳源,给全球的气候变化带来不可忽视的影响。俄罗斯在国际气候合作中的立场有何变化?受到那些因素的影响?存在哪些问题?在后京都气候框架中又将发挥什么样的作用?通过对近年来俄罗斯气候领域的具体分析,将可以找到这一系列问题的答案。     

Family Closeness and Domestic Abuse Among Caribbean and South American Women in South Florida

This paper focuses on the importance of family member closeness as a protective factor against domestic abuse. We explore the link between long-lasting relations within the family and intra-familial violence perpetrated against women in Latino households in South Florida. We use data from an Inter-generational Transmission of Drug Use between Latina Mothers and Daughters (ITDMD) study. The study includes data on family relations and domestic abuse. We estimate a series of multivariate regressions to obtain the probability of abuse against women, the types of abuse inflicted and the relationship with the abusers. Our results indicate that among abused women, the effects of long-lasting relations within the family differ depending on the type of relationship between the abuser and the victim and the degree of closeness the victim feels towards other family members. Given these findings, there is a need to further study family relations and abuse in Latino households.

Is cooperation cost reducing? An analysis of public–public partnerships and inter-municipal cooperation in Brazilian local government

ABSTRACT

In local government systems worldwide, financial pressures have obliged local authorities to focus on cost-efficient methods for providing local services, including inter-municipal agreements and public–public partnerships. However, in comparison with municipal mergers, privatisation and other approaches to the problem, the cost impact of the cooperative provision has not yet been thoroughly examined empirically. Moreover, available empirical research has largely concentrated on waste disposal in developed countries. The present paper seeks to contribute to the empirical literature on inter-municipal agreements and public–public partnerships by comparing their impact on costs with ‘stand-alone’ provision in a range of non-waste local services. In contrast to the bulk of existing studies, our analysis takes place in a developing country context by examining Brazilian local government over the period 2013/15. We found that – on the whole – cooperative provision is less expensive than the ‘stand-alone’ provision for the services studied. Our results can be explained by the size and composition of the population, together with the politics for cooperation.     

列宁帝国主义理论的内在逻辑与时代价值——纪念列宁诞辰150周年

为了揭示第一次世界大战的性质和根源,分析研判世界资本主义发展的最新态势,批判第二国际机会主义错误,为无产阶级革命斗争提供理论指导,列宁创作了《帝国主义是资本主义的最高阶段》《战争和俄国社会民主党》《社会主义与战争》等著作,揭露了帝国主义垄断、腐朽的本质特征,剖析了帝国主义疯狂瓜分世界所带来的严重后果,预测了帝国主义垂死的历史结局,阐明了马克思主义的战争观和无产阶级对待战争的立场,形成了列宁的帝国主义理论。当前,“我们依然处在马克思主义所指明的历史时代”,帝国主义侵略与扩张的本性没有改变,以垄断为特征的金融帝国主义对世界实行全面统治。列宁的帝国主义理论依然是正确认识当代国际关系变化趋势的重要分析工具,对于开展中国特色新型外交与国际合作和推动构建人类命运共同体具有重要指导意义。     

The EU against the New Normal: Avoiding the Banalization of the Israeli‒Palestinian Dispute

This article assesses the European Union (EU)’s engagement with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and highlights the unintended consequences of the policies pursued by Brussels on this matter. While stressing that Palestinians and Israelis interested in peace face the danger of the banalization of the conflict, the article argues that the current status quo is unacceptable and unstainable in the long run, and this demands new policies from the actors involved with the conflict or its resolution. The EU policies’ overall rationale must be to treat the Israeli?Palestinian dispute as a normal, non-exceptional conflict, in which economic and legal tools can be employed to create new legal facts on the ground. An alternative EU approach to the conflict must recognize the insufficiency of recent initiatives and should be built upon two pillars: the legalization of the main contending issues and the empowerment of the civil society actors and initiatives that foster dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis.     

Interpreting EU–Israel relations: a contextual analysis of the EU’s Special Privileged Partnership proposal

This article analyses the background, content and implications of the EU proposal for ‘Special Privileged Partnership’ status to be granted to Israel and the future state of Palestine in the event of a successful conclusion to the peace process. It employs a sociological institutionalist perspective to assess the diplomatic manoeuvring in the broader context of EU–Israel relations. The analysis offers an identification and categorization of the constitutive components of the EU–Israel relationship into formal and social elements. It argues that differences in threat perception, Israel’s highly securitized ethos and different interpretations of the security versus legality equation are social, constitutive elements of the relationship that cannot be efficiently changed by a mere upgrade of the formal institutional setting, even if the economic incentives to do so were attractive. In other words, the sources of tension between the EU and Israel observed in recent decades are not likely to be overcome by a discursive or institutional upgrade around the concept of partnership.
