中东石油的新时代与新石油时代的中东

中东再次出现新的"石油繁荣",被称为"新石油时代"。中东油气业已形成较完整的产业链,改变了昔日单一出口原油的局面。20世纪70年代油价高涨是对在这之前国际石油垄断资本长期强加的超低油价的补偿,存在与外国资本之间的对抗;而这一次"新石油时代"则主要靠石油经济实力的支撑,随着经济的全球化,与外国资本之间的关系也已有所改变。评价高油价需扣除美元贬值的因素。20世纪"高油价—经济滞涨—石油供过于求—油价回跌"局面不会简单重复。政治仍然是影响中东油气业发展的重要因素。     

THE EFFECT OF GENDER ON THE DECISION TO INCARCERATE BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF SENTENCING GUIDELINES*

The present study explores the relationships between gender and imprisonment decisions in Minnesota before and after the introduction of sentencing guidelines. Results from a series of logistic regression models indicate that gender alone did not have a significant impact on the likelihood of imprisonment, but women with dependent children were significantly less likely to be imprisoned before sentencing guidelines and in the years subsequent to their implementation. The findings suggest that despite the introduction of sentencing reforms, court officials tend to return to issues of substantive justice, and they appear unable to shed their individual or organizational ideas of fairness in sentencing.     

ENTER THE DRAGON: INSIDE CHINESE HUMAN SMUGGLING ORGANIZATIONS*

This paper examines the inner workings of Chinese human smuggling organizations. Contrary to widely held conceptions about Chinese organized crime, most alien smugglers are otherwise ordinary citizens whose familial networks and fortuitous social contacts have enabled them to pool resources to transport human cargoes around the world. They come from diverse backgrounds and form temporary alliances to carry out smuggling operations. With the exception of a shared commitment to making money, little holds them together. The smuggling organizations mostly resemble ad hoc task forces and are assembled for specific operations. These organizations have clear divisions of labor with limited hierarchical structures. We discuss the theoretical implications of their unique organizational characteristics.     

论中共七大对中华民族伟大复兴的历史贡献

中华民族的复兴是一个伟大、长期、曲折的历史过程，这个过程需要数代人的艰辛奋斗方能完成。1945年4月召开的中共七大，是关系到全中国四亿五千万人民命运的一次大会。这次大会对中华民族的伟大复兴作出了重大的历史贡献，这次大会为中华民族的复兴提供了坚实的政治基础、科学的理论体系和指导思想、广泛的群众基础以及强有力的组织保证等四个方面。     

“千叶之结”及其症因——关于法律文化概念构建的再思考

在理论法学研究中,法律文化概念虽相当常用,但并无一大致公认的涵义,这也影响到了概念自身的合法性问题。本文从对千叶正士之法律文化概念构建模式的评析出发,去探求“一个精确明了并为大多数人所接受”的法律文化概念的难求(千叶之结)原因所在;并通过对哈特构建法律概念的认识论背景的分析,指出法律文化概念的构建应该是开放结构和复数意义上的,法史学、法人类学、法社会学等不同法学分支学科的法律文化概念构建模式均各有其理论价值和现实意蕴。     

论协调发展导向型行政法

近些年来我国社会立法的发展,要求行政法作出系统性和方向性调整。根据我国全面协调可持续发展战略和政府在发展中的作用,应当通过政府的统筹兼顾实现社会权和民事自由权的协调和统一,建立协调发展导向型行政法体系。协调发展导向型行政法的制度建设,主要是以政策协调为目标的行政组织体制和行政决策制度为重心,在法律制度上限制对GDP的不当偏好和对经济增长的片面追求,实现全体社会成员平等参与和平等发展的权利。
