Domestic Violence and Women’s Land Rights in Rural China: Findings from a National Survey in 2010

In recent decades, China undertook a series of agricultural land tenure reforms to increase the security of land use rights for rural households. While these reforms boosted agricultural production, they also increased landlessness among women due to patrilocal and patrilineal customs. Utilising data from China’s Women Social Status Survey conducted in 2010, this paper examines the impact of women’s land rights on the incidence of domestic violence in rural China. The results show that women who have lost claims to contract land or have no residential land face significantly higher risks of being physically or psychologically abused by their husbands.     

Regionalisation, inter-regional cooperation and global governance

The contradiction between trans-boundary issues largely driven by globalisation and conventional authority based on sovereign state leads to the problem of global governance. Regionalisation emerges as a process in which nation states within geographic proximity take collective measures to cope with problems of global governance. With the increasing tendencies of regional cooperation, a new issue thus arises as to the interaction among regions. In fact, the more regionalized the world, the more necessary, enabled and willing for regions to construct connections with each other. Inter-regionalism and trans-regionalism therefore become a further step which regional blocks take to build one layer in the hierarchy of global governance. The paper takes the Asia–Europe Meeting as the case to analyze the above thesis. In the first section, it presents the observation that the global system is characterized with regionalisation, then analyzes the coordination problems facing regions interdependent upon one another and then formulates a modified framework for analysis of the Asia–Europe Meeting. In the second section of rational design, it analyzes the process in which Europe and Asia rationally establish the cooperation structure of ASEM as a means to tackle the coordination issues between the two regions. In the third section of governing globalisation, it discusses the effects and implications of ASEM’s contribution towards global governance mainly in ways of rationalizing international relations and strengthening regional identity in the era of globalisation.

解决道路交通事故损害赔偿难的有效途径

道路交通事故损害赔偿中,机动车之间,机动车与非机动车驾驶人、行人之间发生道路交通事故这两类事故,在司法实践中面临损害赔偿难的困惑。主要原因是责任人赔偿能力有限、双方难达成共识、道路交通肇事逃逸增多。增强保险意识,实现道路事故车辆风险转移,提高赔付能力,完善道路交通事故损害赔偿立法工作和执行制度,启动诉前财产保全制度和社会救助基金制度,加大司法救助力度是解决这一难题的有效途径。

隐私权视角下的涉罪未成年人刑事司法保护

在涉罪未成年人隐私权的保护方面,我国以少年保护优先为经,保障少年健全成长为纬的新少年法的精神并未如预期落实,特别是在司法实务中,与其更是有相当大的差距。因此,为符合“少年最佳利益”的精义,必须不断借鉴和总结国内外实践经验,在正当法律程序以及现代宪政理论基础上,祛除我国相关涉及涉罪未成年人隐私权保障法律中存在的种种弊症,从而奠立我国青少年隐私权保护的现实道路。     

美国军事情报机构的“旋转门”现象

自20世纪80年代以来,美国大力推行军事和情报机构私有化改革,在持续缩减军队规模的同时,把大量原来隶属于军队的职能转化为商业合同,外包给私人军事和情报公司。“9·11”事件发生后,这种私有化改革更是发展到史无前例的地步,而且不再局限于军事部门,就连被视为私人禁区的情报部门也实行了大规模的私有化。     

刑事程序中的技术侦查研究

现代世界各国均重视科学技术手段在刑事侦查中的运用 ,我国立法也规定了技术侦查。本文就具有代表性的两种技术侦查 ,即测谎检查和秘密录音录象等的运用进行了研究 ,并就其适用范围、条件、程序及所获得的材料的使用提出了立法建议。     

程序与程序保障

法律程序是法律制度的实践基础,在结构上可以区分为程序规则、程序行为两个组成部分。程序行为是法定的要式行为,程序规则是不同于实体法律规则的构成性规则。程序保障,或说权利的程序保障,是现代法律程序的基本原则,也是现代法律程序有别于前现代法律程序的标志。正是程序保障原则赋予了现代法律程序独立于实体法律而存在的制度空间。     

马克思的意识形态理论与历史唯物主义

马克思仅仅把那些掩盖现实社会矛盾的思想、观念视为意识形态.马克思从早期一般意义上的意识形态分析转向中后期对资本主义特定的意识形态(物化)的批判,揭示了意识形态掩盖下的生产领域中的资本与劳动、人与人之间的真实关系.马克思的整个意识形态理论是历史唯物主义的(尤其是历史性的),是资本主义社会的一种自我认识.     

完善我国无独立请求权第三人制度的思考

无独立请求权第三人制度是我国第三人制度中争议最多的一种制度.学者们对其中一些关键性问题远未达成共识,立法上的粗疏与内在矛盾,司法实务中的自由裁量权的滥用这些都导致我国无独立请求权第三人制度并没有发挥其应有的内在机能.笔者通过对无独立请求权第三人法律地位二重性的分析在借鉴大陆法系国家和美国民事诉讼中第三人参诉制度规定的基础上,对完善我国无独立请求权第三人制度提出了一点思考.
