The Making of a Corporatist State in Hong Kong: The Road to Sectoral Intervention

Extant Hong Kong studies have under-stated the corporatist nature of the Hong Kong state. From the 1980s, as part of its political strategy, the Chinese government had helped to build a corporatist state in Hong Kong that incorporated various sectoral elites, leading to a change in the role of the state after 1997. Through an empirical study of the behaviour of functional constituency legislators and policy outputs after 1997, this article shows that the functional constituencies as a corporatist structure introduced many sector-oriented demands. These sectoral representatives lobbied for favourable polices, increased representation for their sectors, and more state resources. This drove the post-1997 Hong Kong state to sectoral intervention, as resources were diverted to selected sectors, creating new legitimacy problems for the regime.

保险人明确说明义务批判

保险合同法可以体系化地解读为意思自治、给付均衡与合理期待三个核心原则的组合。立法者希望籍说明义务来消减信息不对称,贯彻意思自治。但在建构制度规范时,并未考虑信息传送方的履行成本,对信息接收方的识别成本与关注焦点也存在认识误区。这种过度理想化的设计已被实践证明是失败的。立法应废止实质性的明确说明义务,代之以形式化的信息提供义务。对于意思自治的不足,可以通过提升给付均衡度和更有效保障被保险人对获取保险产品的合理期待加以填补。     

中国法史及法史学研究反思——兼论学术研究的规律

中国法史及法史学的研究自上世纪初形成以来,在法学界或为炙手可热的"学科",或为可有可无的"冷门"。这种冷热两极现象的背后,反映的是对学术目标的多种误读。比如,盲目地主张"创新",单纯地强调学术服务于"时势",本末倒置地将"学科"完善视为学术的目的等等。正是这种学术目标的误读,导致中国法史研究长期纠缠于方法的争论而忽视基础问题的研究。纠正学术目标误读的方式在于充分认识并尊重学术研究的规律,对基础问题的研究应在"传承"中创新;培养学人的独立品格,逐渐改善人云亦云的学风;将学科视为学术研究的途径而不是目的,以促进而不是桎梏学术研究的发展。     

习近平文艺思想探析

习近平的文艺思想包含非常丰富的内容,如文艺作品的创作应坚持把社会效益放在首位、弘扬爱国主义主旋律、体现社会主义核心价值观的要求等。当前,深入探讨分析习近平文艺思想,对推动社会主义文化大发展大繁荣、增强中国特色社会主义理论自信、实现中华民族伟大复兴具有重大的现实意义。新形势下,要坚持和发展习近平文艺思想,必须坚持为人民服务的基本原则,从传统文化中汲取清水活源,努力培养大批德艺双馨的艺术家。     

TCF考试及其应对策略

TCF考试是法语语言知识的标准化测试,于2006年进入中国。中国境内有志于赴法进行本科学习的高中生(法语联盟学生、中外合作办学机构学生)和法语专业本科毕业生(希望赴法进行硕士学习或者高等商学院学习)都可选择TCF考试,确认法语水平,作为校方参考的语言成绩。近些年来,针对这一考试,高校教师纷纷出版书籍,探寻研究,以期指导学生进行TCF考试。但是学生仍然迷惘、疑惑,不知所从。为此,本文将从三个方面剖析"TCF考试及其应对策略。",希望对学生的学习、备考起到积极的促进作用。文章首先介绍TCF考试内容和六个等级划分,接着进一步明确TCF考试对象,然后从"基础教学"和"冲刺教学"两个方面剖析TCF考试应对策略。     

论法治规范视角下的党内法规

中国特色社会主义法治应当是包括了党内法规和国家法律在内的法治规范。我国的国家治理体系不可能纯粹地建构于国家法律之上。从法学发展的历史来看,法的定义和概念并不是一成不变的。法的外在表现形式不应成为判断的绝对依据和标准,而应当结合法作为一种调整和指引人们行为的规范这一本质特征进行理解。党内法规具有明显的政党属性,党内法规在制定过程中具有程序性,党内法规在外在形式上具有特定性。广义的法治是规则之治,服从规则并非意味着只服从国家法律,还要遵循各种符合宪法规范与法治精神的其他法治规范。全面依法治国的实现有赖于党内法规与国家法律的优势互补,形成法治合力。
