Islam and Toleration: Studying the Ottoman Imperial Model

This article explores the relationship between religion and politics in the context of the recent debates on Islam and religious fundamentalism. I argue that too much attention is paid to the theological issues of Islam, and that we should rather focus on the historical conditions that tend to produce religious tolerance or intolerance. I use the Ottoman Empire as an example of a polity that succeeded in maintaining religious and ethnic toleration for the tremendous diversity it encountered within its frontiers. I analyze the specific relationship between the Ottoman state and Islam, the subordination of religion to the state, the dual role of religion as an institution and a system of beliefs as well as the intricacies of the millet system. I conclude that the particular relationship that was forged between religion and politics during the first four centuries of the empire promoted religious openness and toleration.

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。
