如何构建控辩平等的取证机制之调查研究

从分析我国控辩双方取证能力之现状入手,认为1996年刑诉法的修改没有解决控辩双方取证能力严重失衡的问题,故立法追求庭审对抗实质化的意图未能实现。该调查报告在分析当事人主义庭审模式下,应为增强被告方取证能力采取措施的基础上,提出了为实现我国庭审实质化而必须增强被告方取证能力的主张。     

The role of non-timber forest products in poverty reduction in India: prospects and problems

The vast natural resources of India's forests, including non-timber forest products (NTFPs), such as medicinal and aromatic plants, leaves, fruits, seeds, resins, gums, bamboos, and canes, offer employment that provides up to half the income of about 25 per cent of the country's rural labour force. However, poor harvesting practices and over-exploitation in the face of increasing market demand are threatening the sustainability of these resources, and thus the livelihoods of forest-dependent tribal communities. This article analyses the role of NTFPs in livelihoods-improvement initiatives and considers recent initiatives intended to enhance their conservation and sustainable management. It recommends policies to optimise the potential of NTFPs, both to support rural livelihoods and to contribute to India's social, economic, and environmental well-being.     

论我国外汇储备及外汇管理条例

<正> 根据我国的外汇收支与储备情况,国务院在1997年1月重新修订了《外汇管理条例》,确定了我国外汇管理四大政策:一是经常项目下的外汇支付和转移不受限制;二是实行外汇指定银行结售汇制度;三是实行以市场供求为基础的、单一的、有管理的人民币浮动汇率;四是初步建立银行间的外汇统一市场。我国外汇管理政策从原来的“管死”转变为初步放开一头,有其深刻的经济背景。最主要的原因是进入1994年以后,我国外汇储备数量扶摇直上。其数量之大,增长速度之快前所未有。到1996年底,我国外汇储备已高达1050亿美元。1997年更高达1400亿美元,在世界排名第二,仅次于日本。如此的发展规模,使我国的外汇储备问题成为经济学界乃至相关领域学者的研究热点并倍受国内外有识之士的关注。本文拟从我国外汇储备的骤升原因、外汇储备骤升的正负效应、我国外汇储备的适度规模及完善当前外汇储备管理的对策等方面进行初步探讨,以求教同仁。     

White Supremacist Activity and Crossburnings in North Carolina

This study examines whether the incidence of crossburnings rises in areas where white supremacist organizations, such as the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, have held rallies or demonstrations. Using data from two public interest groups, Klanwatch and North Carolinians Against Racial and Religious Violence, we track crossburnings and white supremacist activities in 100 North Carolina counties annually for the period 1987–1993. Various statistical models, including an event count analysis that allows each county to have its own level or reporting bias, indicate that the base rate at which crossburnings occur rises sharply in counties where a demonstration has taken place. Since none of the suspected crossburners has apparent ties to white supremacist groups, it may be that white supremacist rallies encourage fellow travelers to engage in this form of racial intimidation.     

To be continued . . . Syntheses and trends in follow-up of quality assurance in West European higher education

The authors report on West European trends in follow-up arrangements of national quality assurance procedures. They argue that external quality assurance ought to adopt a broader conception of quality than is now often the case. Next, the general public ought to have a guarantee that external quality assurance is valid (through meta-evaluation) and has consequences (through follow-up arrangements). Follow-up currently is not well developed in many European countries in a formal sense, but is receiving more attention as external quality assurance is maturing. Finally, the authors link national quality assurance to the European dimension; an international network could fulfil important functions in making quality assurance transparent and credible across Europe.
