'Too Big to Fail' Meets Its Match

The five biggest Chinese banks posted weak profit growth in the first quarter of the year—the result of economic slowdown, surging bad loans, market-oriented reform on interest rates and increasing challenges from online investment products. The five listed state-owned commercial banks—namely the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China onstruction Bank,Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China and Bank of Communications—colloquially known as the Big Five, all reported a net profit growth of less than 2 percent in the first quarter of the year, down from an average of about 10 percent from the same period last year, according to figures from their quarterly financial reports to bourses.     

认真对待案例评析:一个法教义学的立场

改革开放以来,案例研究在我国经历了20世纪90年代和现今的两次研究热潮,但案例研究在本体论层面是什么并未得到认真对待。纵观比较法经验,案例研究是一类与论文、书评等相比有着显著特点的独立的法学文献,具有篇幅简短、个案取向、偏重教义三个特征。在我国,案例评析可以辅佐和围观司法实务,也可以为部门法和非部门法研究提供教义学基础。对公报案例、指导性案例的评析举隅以及对相关理论的澄清都是有力说明。案例评析在我国的推广,有待于主流法学期刊的开放和学术评价体制的微调,亦需在写作体例和文献运用上予以规范。案例评析的昌明,将成为我国法教义学昌明的重要标志。     

中美律师-委托人特免权比较研究与启示

保密原则为委托人创造了沉默的权利,构建了美国律师职业伦理的框架性原则。特免权是保密制度的核心,对律师履行职责至关重要。援引特免权对抗外部调查需要满足主体要件、法律性、保密性等条件。经历“吹哨者运动”,美国法院试图将委托人豁免权应用于公司和政府实体的实践,邮件通讯的保密性质疑随之而来。这都极大冲击了律师保密原则。我国大陆地区律师保密制度方兴未艾,存在权利属性缺失、救济途径单一、片面倚重行业自律等问题。对保密原则较为发达的美国制度进行探究,在此基础上提出将当事人纳入权利主体、赋予保密义务的权利义务一体性,扩大保密制度保护区间,救济程序中引入非法证据排除规则等几点设想。

欧盟经济政策目标的历史性分析

《欧洲联盟条约》规定经济政策同时追求稳定、增长和凝聚这三个目标,由此构成了欧盟经济模式的定义基石,确定了以稳定为导向的经济政策组合。20世纪90年代以来,欧盟在凝聚目标上取得了很大的成功,经济货币联盟的建立保证了欧洲经济的稳定目标;而增长目标的实现则乏善可陈。里斯本战略的本质就是实施经济结构改革以使得欧盟在稳定的宏观经济结构和社会凝聚的环境中享有高水平的可持续增长。虽然由于目前欧洲债务危机的影响,欧盟成员国更为关注通过经济增长走出困境,但是欧盟"三合一"的经济政策目标并没有发生本质的变化。
