Structures of Bio-terrorism Preparedness in the UK and the US: Responses to 9/11 and the Anthrax Attacks

This article describes UK and US responses to 9/11 and the subsequent anthrax attacks, referring to 'biodefence' and the civilian structures of disaster preparedness. Following a review of initiatives undertaken in each country the article details principal differences between the two systems, the federal nature of the US response and the more localised arrangements preferred in the UK. Finally, with reference to certain international standards articulated by the World Health Organisation, the article concludes with some critical reflections on recent policy developments. International standards promote the civilian character of preparedness programmes and their connections to public health infrastructure. This is being challenged by US developments that emphasise the role of the military while, in the UK, there remain questions about the capacity of civilian structures.

Sub-Optimality in NHS Sourcing in the UK: Demand-Side Constraints on Supply-Side Improvement

The UK NHS and its Purchasing and Supply Agency (PASA) are implementing reforms for the procurement of goods and services. One aspect of the new approach creates regional confederations in order to overcome the current inability to enforce 'National Framework Agreements' within individual NHS Trusts. This is a sensible approach to resolving a lack of effective consolidation of demand within the NHS at the Trust level, but recent research into the procurement practices of regionally based NHS Trusts has highlighted a number of internal demand problems that this new approach is unlikely to overcome. These include the failure by the Trusts individually, and by the NHS centrally, to control and manage the NHS design and specification process effectively and, in many cases, an inability to measure or collect information on the clinical and cost effectiveness of medical interventions. It is argued, therefore, that while the new reforms may be an improvement on the past, it is likely that the confederations are destined to fail. This is largely the result of the NHS – centrally, regionally and locally – lacking an understanding of how to align demand and supply effectively so as to provide the levers to manage the procurement of goods and services proactively.

《联合国反腐败公约》与我国贿赂犯罪之立法完善

本文以《联合国反腐败公约》为视角,对我国现行刑法贿赂犯罪有关规定进行了深刻反思和检讨,建议以《公约》规定为参照,将我国贿赂犯罪“贿赂”的范围由“财物”扩大至一切不正当利益,取消受贿罪中“为他人谋取利益”的定罪要件和行贿罪定罪中“为谋取不正当利益”的主观要件,并增设贿赂外国公职人员或国际公共组织官员罪,促使我国反腐败机制和理念与国际接轨,使预防和打击腐败工作更有成效。     

论行政许可法的信赖保护原则

基于诚信原则而产生的信赖保护原则,在第二次世界大战后完成了其从私法向公法领域的演进,并为世界大多数国家所确认。新颁布的行政许可法开创了我国信赖保护原则的先河,意义重大。但它作为一项补充性原则,抽象而不易掌握。因此,要使信赖保护原则得以实现,必须明确其具体内涵,完善其相关制度。     

网络游戏直播涉及的著作权问题研究

随着网络游戏大热,网络游戏直播越来越受到人们的关注。2015年出现的"中国电子游戏直播第一案"足以引起立法机关的反思。纵观我国现行立法,无论是作品的类型模式还是其所涉及的著作权的相关规定,都存在着一定的漏洞,不仅使法律适用存在困难,造成司法实践中的混乱局面,同时就著作权人而言,其权利难以受到公正的保护。设立新的作品类别以及对所涉及的著作财产权进行扩大解释能够很好地解决这些问题,同时弥补法律漏洞,推动我国网络游戏行业的健康发展。     

Structured uncertainty: a pilot study on innovation in China’s mobile phone handset industry

This paper explains why many small and medium-sized (SME) private high-technology Chinese manufacturing firms survive and thrive within an institutional and political system arrayed against them. We use the mobile phone handset industry as an illustrative case of the vitality and capabilities of Chinese SMEs. We argue that in capitalizing on the advantages offered by the global fragmentation of production, while also being constrained by an institutional climate of structured uncertainty, Chinese non-state firms have chosen a pattern of incremental innovation in their search for competitive advantage. Despite falling outside central government innovation plans and engaging in practices inimical to nurturing novel product innovation capabilities, these firms have a sustainable business model based on niche tailoring, rapid product introduction and utilization of standardized components.     

国家秘密:进退中的信息保密与公开——基于《中华人民共和国保守国家秘密法》修订的分析

<中华人民共和国保守国家秘密法>以其关乎国家秘密而彰显出权威性和神秘性,其具体内容和立法理念都体现着国家秘密等信息的不可公开性,在具体的实践中存在着定密的标准、程序过于泛化,解密不规范等为人诟病之处,也被质疑有悖于"以公开为原则,以保密为例外"的立法宗旨.为此,自2009年6月到2010年4月,全国人大常委三次审议<华...
