The United States,Japan, and the European Union: comparing political economy approaches to China

Abstract

This paper examines US, Japanese, and European political economy approaches to China, and their effect on US–Japan and US–EU relationships. Great powers with a greater security concern in dealing with another major country care more about power while those with less of a concern are preoccupied with calculations for wealth. China's rise and its actions have posed a far greater security challenge to the United States and Japan and are driving the two countries closer together. The political economy game involving China reveals a dominant welfare motive among the advanced market economies. The ambition to transform China politically has diminished. China's integration into the global market makes a relative gains approach difficult to implement. Globalization simply limits the ability of a state to follow a politics-in-command approach in the absence of actual military conflict, which explains why the political economy approaches of the United States, Europe, and Japan are not that different in the scheme of things. China's own grand strategy to reach out to the world to outflank the US–Japan alliance has also contributed to a divergent European policy toward China although there are severe limitations to Beijing's ability to drive a wedge between the United States and Europe.

“王朝案”中的证据法难题及其破解

王朝案的发生引发了三个证据法上的疑难问题:一是证据的合法性问题,主要涉及侦查人员无管辖权取证的效力问题;二是瑕疵证据的补正和合理解释度问题;三是证据采信的公正性问题,尤其是特殊侦查措施所获证据应否公开质证的问题。从证据法理上讲,侦查机关虽然违反管辖权而取证,但若并未侵犯被追诉人公正审判权,所获证据自无排除之必要;瑕疵证据的补正或合理解释度,以确证瑕疵证据的客观性和真实性为已足;特殊侦查措施所获的证据材料,虽然可以不向公众公开,即实行不公开审理,但却必须向辩方公开特殊侦查的结果,并允许辩护人参与该证据的质证过程。     

论网络社会的伦理道德问题及解决的措施

计算机网络在极大地造福人类的同时,也引发了大量网络伦理方面的失范行为,甚至犯罪行为。究其产生的根源有内部、外部及人性心理等诸多因素。在计算机网络的发展中,要达到兴利除弊的目的,应当通过法律手段加强网络信息的管理,通过技术手段控制和过滤违法及有害信息,同时应当培养广大网民的网络伦理道德意识,自觉形成网络自律,有效降低网络带来的负面影响。     

反思与祛魅：我国刑事诉讼法解释体制重构

普适意义上的法律解释是法官运用法律、裁判案件的一项司法技术 ,它与审判权相连 ,是审判权的题中应有之义。但在我国现行刑事诉讼法解释体制下 ,法律解释却被异化为一种权力 ,从而导致解释形式的抽象化、解释内容的扩大化以及解释主体的集中化、多元化 ,进而干扰了司法独立、背离程序法定原则。现行刑事诉讼法解释体制的这一结构特征的形成可以追溯到我国历史上“以吏为师”的传统 ,并与我国现行刑事诉讼法不完善的制度结构有关。为此 ,应当转变观念、完善制度 ,重构我国刑事诉讼法的解释体制。     

论债权出资

债权作为一项十分重要的财产权,在我国的公司立法上并未得到应有的重视.随着各国公司法对法定资本制原则的修正,债权作为公司的出资形式正日益普遍.由于债权自身请求权性质的特质,其存在着不确定性、容易引发道德风险等问题,为此,应完善相应的制度措施,把债权出资的风险降低到最低水平.     

首届东亚峰会与东亚区域合作

东亚峰会的缘起1990年12月,关贸总协定乌拉圭回合谈判破裂,世界经济一体化进程遭受严重挫折。时任马来西亚总理的马哈蒂尔提出召开“东亚峰会”,逐步建立“东亚经济共同体”的倡议。当时应者甚少,东亚各国大多保持沉默,并心存质疑。美国立即表示强烈反对,因为美国担心此举会削弱APEC的重要性及其自身在该地区的影响。由于美国反对,1991年该倡议改成非正式的“东亚经济共策会”,但最终未能兑现。1997年亚洲金融危机的惨痛经历,使东亚各国深切认识到地区合作的必要性。随后出现了“10+3”(东盟10国加中日韩)会议,建立了由领导人会议、部长会…     

Dynamism in Adversity: a Comparative Study of Trends in the Performance of Listed Family- and Non-Family-Controlled Companies in Hong Kong, 1997–2014

This paper addresses the long debate over the superiority of the performance of family- vs non-family-controlled companies from the contesting perspectives of entrepreneurial familism and managerial capitalism. Publicly listed family- and non-family-controlled companies in Hong Kong have been selected for a comparison of their overall performance. The focus is on Hang Seng Index constituent companies in general, and on two cases in particular: one non-family-controlled bank (HSBC), and one family-controlled bank (BEA). We found that family-controlled companies were not necessarily less competitive than non-family-controlled companies. Specifically, when HSBC and BEA were compared, the latter showed no clear inferiority in operating profit margin and return on assets, even though the former enjoys unparalleled advantages, such as an overwhelming superiority in size, the privilege of issuing notes, and status as Hong Kong’s quasi-central bank. Therefore, we argue that entrepreneurial familism seems to be a resilient source of business dynamism, particularly when family-controlled companies have been repeatedly tested by adverse socioeconomic crises. Based on the finding, it is suggested that governments across the world should provide a favorable institutional set-up to facilitate the development of family businesses.     

中国地级市政府相对集中行政许可权改革研究——以河北省地级市为例

相对集中行政许可权改革是"放管服"改革的突破口,是提高政府行政审批效率、便利企业和群众办事、进一步激发市场和社会活力的关键举措。中国相对集中行政许可权改革主要在地级市政府展开,在具体推进过程中,普遍缺乏对"相对集中"标准的把握。文章从基本概念出发,将相对集中行政许可权区分为横向相对集中行政许可权和纵向相对集中行政许可权,以此为基础分析河北省各地级市相对集中行政许可权改革的现状和问题,最后给出地级市政府推进相对集中行政许可权改革的政策建议。
