Better law‐making and the interinstitutional (dis)agreements: Some comments

This work argues that there is no univocal interpretation of what regulatory policy is and pursues. Taking the strategy of the European Commission as a starting point only, it addresses more specifically the Union legislature's perspective, which, in a democratic decision‐making process, cannot compromise its autonomy. In the unique constitutional universe of the European Union, the “Better Law‐Making” agenda pursues an important additional objective: facilitating the very process of adopting legislation by means of interinstitutional conflict prevention mechanisms and through a common approach to interpretation and implementation of primary law. That is the main purpose of the Interinstitutional Agreements on the quality of legislation, which place them in the position of a sort of soft constitutional law.     

The politics of landscape as ways of life in the ‘divided’ city: reflections from Mostar,Bosnia–Herzegovina

ABSTRACT

‘Divided’ cities – places of extreme exclusion and polarization – are sites where the paradox of both fragmentary and cosmopolitan capacity of the city comes to the fore. This article asks: What practices-in-landscape consolidate, construct and deconstruct the impression of a divided city? Drawing insights from the post-conflict Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the main argument I put forward is that urban infrastructures are a crucial medium through which social divisions and cohesions are performed and rearticulated on the ground. The article attends to the everyday of youth in Mostar turning to the politics of landscape as ways of life in the city.

司法专业化与社会化的适度平衡:台湾观审制改革及其启示

观审制改革是目前台湾讨论最热烈的"司法改革"议题。所谓观审制,是让经由一定程序选出的普通民众担任"观审员",针对一些重罪案件,全程参与第一审法院的审判程序。评议时,观审员虽不能参与表决,但可以表示意见,为法官下判作参考。观审制改革是台湾民众对司法的不信任与日韩的国民参与审判立法共同作用的结果。观审制主要包括观审员及其选任程序、观审法庭组成及适用案件类型、审判程序、评议程序四部分内容。观审制对目前河南省正在进行的人民观审团机制改革具有重要借鉴意义。
