论“二级识别”现象存在的客观性——以《鹿特丹规则》为视角

传统观念认为,识别作为法院进行法律选择适用的前提步骤存在于冲突法中,是适用冲突规范前需要处理的特殊问题。联合国《全程或部分海上国际货物运输合同公约》首次从国际公约的层面对承运人和货物控制方的识别问题进行了统一规定。这说明识别与识别冲突不仅存在于冲突规范的选择适用中,而且存在于准据法的选择适用领域。二级识别现象是客观存在的,应当重视研究二级识别问题。     

文化事业单位的改革历程、理论经验和问题

论行政伦理两难的成因

行政伦理两难有直接成因和深层原因,而直接成因包括两类:客观原因(规范层面的、资源方面的)和主观原因(主体的主观能动性)。文章重点分析了不相容的规范竞合以及主观能动性原因。行政伦理两难的深层原因在于人类所欲求的各种价值和善之间并非如人们所期望的那样相辅相成、共生共长,相反,它们经常在终极层面存在难以调和的冲突。     

“欧元乐园”的迷失与重建——兼论对东亚区域货币合作的启示

希腊主权债务危机引发的欧元危机是对欧洲区域经济与货币一体化的一次重大考验,深刻反映了欧洲经货联盟成立以来所出现的两大问题:成员国之间经济的不平衡发展以及联盟合作机制的缺陷。欧元危机给东亚区域货币与金融合作的启示是,在以欧盟货币合作为样板的同时,应着重加强区域内信息共享与政策合作,以清迈倡议(CMI)和清迈倡议多边机制(CMIM)为基础加快东亚货币合作机制建设,完善区域监管体系;同时加强区域内各国汇率合作和资本账户自由化,稳步推进区域金融市场一体化进程,逐步缩小各国之间汇率波动的幅度,以此推进东亚区域经济合作向纵深发展。     

日本FTA战略的困惑

随着国内外环境的变化,日本开始逐渐放弃一贯坚持的多边自由贸易立场,转向FTA战略。但日本FTA战略的起步带有明显的被动性,这一点也反映在其FTA战略的具体动机上。日本推行的EPA模式也为其战略的实施带来了诸多困难。日本的FTA战略的走向不仅会对自身今后的发展产生重要影响,而且还将显著影响东亚区域合作的进程和走向。     

改革开放以来中国农村社会的结构转型及其意涵

传统社会向现代社会的转型本质上是社会关系的转型。当前,我国农村社会正由传统向现代过渡,反映这种社会关系转型轨迹的中国农村经济、社会及政治结构出现了实质性的分化:乡村利益格局日益趋向多元化,教育及文化的发展使农民的意识从"身份取向"向"权利取向"转变,并自发形成了以自主治理为特征的乡村社会团体。农村经济-社会结构的转型构成了未来我国新型乡村治理关系的基础。     

DNA Commission of the International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG): an update of the recommendations on the use of Y-STRs in forensic analysis

The DNA Commission of the International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG) regularly publishes guidelines and recommendations concerning the application of DNA polymorphisms to the problems of human identification. A previous recommendation published in 2001 has already addressed Y-chromosome polymorphisms, with particular emphasis on short tandem repeats (STRs). Since then, the use of Y-STRs has become very popular, and a numerous new loci have been introduced. The current recommendations address important aspects to clarify problems regarding the nomenclature, the definition of loci and alleles, population genetics and reporting methods.     

Comparative Study of Domestic and Foreign Bank Performance in Thailand: The Regression Analysis

This paper studies the performance of domestic and foreign banks in Thailand in terms of profitability and other characteristics after the East Asian financial crisis. The study is based on a micro bank-level panel data on financial statements by pooling cross-bank time-series data with the major balance sheet and income statement ratios for domestic and foreign banks in Thailand for 1995–2000. All banks were found to have reduced their credit exposure during the crisis years, and to have gradually improved their profitability during the post-crisis years. The results indicate that foreign bank profitability is higher than the average profitability of the domestic banks although importantly, in the post-crisis period, the gap between foreign and domestic profitability become closer. This shows some positive results of the financial restructuring program. Saovanee Chantapong (Ms) currently works as a senior economist at the Office of Macroeconomic Policy and Analysis.
