Towards a New Ireland

Despite all the contemporary difficulties that we face on the island of Ireland, twenty-four years on from the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, there is a clear sense of hope for a better future. We should be optimistic for our shared future, even if we do not agree on what form that should take. We cannot discuss Northern Ireland or its future without acknowledging that Brexit has significantly shifted the conversation. Not only has it brought Anglo-Irish relations to a low not seen in the past twenty-five years, but it has also damaged the reputation of the UK internationally and brought the topic of Irish unity back to the fore of our political discourse.     

冲突与融合：中西文化交流的历史回顾

中国文化是中国各民族在长期共同生活中创造的,对世界产生过重大影响,中国文化与西方文化一同为人类文明进步作出了突出贡献。中西文化交流的历史十分悠久,无论是从明代“东学西渐”到“西学东渐”与“中学西传”的并行,还是到近代中西文化的交流,中西文化交流的历史始终是中西文化冲突与融合、输入与输出相随相伴的历史。因此,正确认识当代中西文化交流,对推进中国文化建设有重大的借鉴意义。     

Policing football crowds in Sweden

The policing of football crowds in Sweden is underpinned by a national coordination approach based upon a set of conflict reducing principles and supported by crowd theory. The approach is referred to as the Special Police Tactic (SPT). While focused on police capacity to exercise force, the SPT also gives primacy to tactics based upon communication, in the form of Dialogue Police. Existing research on the SPT focuses exclusively on the policing of protest crowds. This paper extends the existing literature by reporting on a large scale three-year observational research project examining the SPT as it is applied to football fixtures involving several of Sweden’s major football clubs. On the basis of our analysis we draw out how policing operations in line with facilitation and communication were associated with effective outcomes. However, we also highlight deficiencies in national coordination and coherence as well as highlighting important innovations with regard to approaches to dialogue with football fans. We explore the implications of our analysis for theoretical understanding of effective football crowd management and engagement with fan culture.     

Autonomous weapon system: Law of armed conflict (LOAC) and other legal challenges

The legality of autonomous weapon systems (AWS) under international law is a swiftly growing issue of importance as technology advances and machines acquire the capacity to operate without human control. This paper argues that the existing laws are ineffective and that a different set of laws are needed. This paper examines several issues that are critical for the development and use of AWS in warfare. It argues that a preemptive ban on AWS is irrelevant at this point and urges the appropriate authorities to develop a modern legal framework that is tailored to embrace these state-of-the-art weapons as the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) develops. First, this paper explores the myriad of laws designed to govern the potential future development and deployment of artificial intelligence and AWS in the context of International Humanitarian Law or LAOC. Second, the paper argues that it will be challenging for AWS to fulfill the requirements laid out under the International Committee of the Red Cross and LOAC for the rules of humanity, military necessity, distinction, proportionality and precaution, especially as it is related to noncombatants. Third, the paper discusses command responsibility and argues that states should establish accountability for wrongful acts committed by the AWS. Finally, this paper contends that there is an urgent need for a new legal framework to regulate these AWS and presents different solutions for the legal framework of AWS.     

Collaborative Leadership in the Arts as a Unique Form of Dual Leadership

This article examines dual leadership in Australian performing arts companies, reflected in the respective roles of artistic directors and general managers. Our findings challenge assumptions underpinning much of the literature on dual leadership; in particular, the assumption that conflict is inevitable between the two leaders. In our research, we identified dual leadership relationships that might more accurately be described as instances of collaborative leadership. We suggest that one explanation for this presence of collaborative leadership may be that the study found similarities in both leaders’ passion for the arts, often reflected in a shared background in an arts practice.     

公众人物姓名商标注册的法律规制——以公众人物姓名与注册商标权利冲突为视角

姓名具有识别功能,亦可被作为商标使用。公众人物基于自己的努力使得自己的姓名在社会公众中具有一定的吸引力,并使得自己的姓名蕴含了一定的商业价值。基于此,常有第三人欲借用公众人物对社会大众吸引力变为对商品的消费,而未经公众人物许可将其姓名注册为商标。对此情况,我国商标法以较隐蔽的方式进行限制,但法律规定的不明晰使得公众人物姓名被抢注为商标的情况仍不时发生,并直接导致公众人物姓名权与姓名商标权之间的冲突。为此,法律在商标注册时应进行规制,从知名度的认定、争议商标与公众人物姓名相同的认定以及争议商标使用的事实状态等三个方面进行考量,防止不当注册的情况产生。
