我国行业利益集团对规制政策制定过程的影响

规制政策本质上具有对公民和企业的权利进行分配或再分配的特点,中国国际快递委员会通过重点运用游说策略,综合利用智库、媒体等渠道,对快递业的规制政策制定施加了影响,有力地抵制了国家邮政局和邮政企业“政企同盟”的政策意图。因此,如何在今后的利益集团博弈中构筑一个各方充分参与的制度性平台,将成为今后政治体制改革的重要课题。     

《空战和导弹战国际人道法手册》起草进展及问题分析

由美国哈佛大学"人道主义政策与冲突研究"项目负责的《空战和导弹战国际人道法手册》(下称《手册》)近期形成了2007年新的草案本文及评注,表明该项目又取得了阶段性成果。从进展情况看,《手册》在寻求军事需要与人道主义要求之间平衡上,解决得不是很好,如扩大了"军事目标"的范围,放宽了对武器的限制,缩小了某些受保护的对象范围,出现了与制定《手册》初衷不符的倾向,值得引起注意。     

替身演员的署名权——由章子怡“裸替”纠纷引发的思考

替身演员是在影视作品中代替主要演员出演那些主要演员无法亲自完成或不能亲自完成戏份的人员。在我国,替身演员署不署名由制片方说了算。本文以章子怡“裸替”和《夜晏》制片方的纠纷为例,就替身演员是否是演员、替身演员署不署名能否由制片方说了算进行评析探讨,并介绍了国际上为替身演员署名的成功经验和笔者的建议。     

Whatever Happened to the Progressive Century?

In the mid-1990s, after eighteen years of Conservative rule, there was much talk about the prospects for a progressive century. Tony Blair, under the tutelage of Roy Jenkins, made it clear that he wanted to end the schism on the centre-left. Paddy Ashdown saw the same opportunity. Ironically, the electorate's desire to kick out the Conservatives and vote in progressives of any stripe delivered a Labour landslide that made cooperation impossible for Blair and Ashdown. Some progressive policies, notably on the constitution, have been implemented, but the political and intellectual roots to create a progressive century have yet to be properly established. Foreign policy divisions, especially on Iraq, have made this much more difficult. This article looks at the prospects for progressives—under new leadership—up to and after the next election in terms of ideas and policy.     

东南亚地区形势:2008年

在刚刚过去的2007年,东南亚各国经济保持较高速度的增长;展望2008年,虽然有一些困难和不稳定因素,但是,总的而言,仍然是一个好年头.美国经济衰退给世界经济带来许多不确定因素,也给东南亚经济蒙上一层阴影.然而,时过境迁,美国经济虽然是影响东南亚经济的一个重要因素,但已经不是唯一的因素,美国一打喷嚏,东南亚就感冒的年代已经一去不复返了.东南亚政治在2008年基本能够保持稳定,马来西亚顺利举行大选;泰国前总理他信回国,新总理沙玛一再强调是他信的代言人,新政府执行了一条没有他信的他信政策.东盟通过了<东盟宪章>,它标志着这个地区性国际组织进入一个新的时代.东盟与各个大国的关系也比较顺利,日本在东南亚又有一些新的动作,福田首相继承其父亲老福田的路线,加强了东南亚外交.     

"直接适用的法"与公共秩序保留

"直接适用的法"和公共秩序保留是国际私法的两个重要范畴和制度.本文旨在深入分析"直接适用的法"与公共秩序保留之间的相关性,对两者之间的差异性作比较性探讨.该文主张"直接适用的法"是公共秩序的反映和表现方式,而公共秩序则是"直接适用的法"产生的原因和基础."直接适用的法"发端于公共秩序保留,但有别于公共秩序保留.独立主权的国家在调整涉外民商事关系领域时,需要发挥它们各自不可或缺的作用.

刍议国际民事诉讼中的协议管辖制度

国际民事诉讼中的协议管辖制度是现代国际民事诉讼立法不断发展的体现。我国的民事诉讼法承认了该制度,但是随着国际交往的深化特别是入世以来经济制度和法律制度相互融合进程的推进,现有立法中存在的问题也日益凸现。本文将在对这一制度进行分析探讨的基础上提出对我国相关立法的完善的建议。     

Investments in Global Warming Mitigation: The Case of “Activities Implemented Jointly”

This paper examines bilateral cooperation between developed countries (home country) and developing countries (host country) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to enhance carbon dioxide sinks. With the home-host country pair as the unit of analysis, our logistic regression model examines 158 Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) investment projects from 1993 until 2002 across 2541 country-pairs. Because the marginal costs of reducing emissions may be lower in developing countries, the AIJ projects served as a policy laboratory to assess whether such investments might be advantageous to both countries in the event future regimes allowed emission credits from such bilateral projects. Instead of investing in home countries where maximum pollution reductions (or carbon sequestration) might be possible, home countries invest in locations where they can conduct their policy experiments at low transaction costs. Prior trade and aid relationships were used as a proxy. Regarding energy projects, location decisions are driven by home countries’ desire to reduce air pollution that they receive from abroad. Geography – proximity of a host country to a home country – in interaction with host country's coal production, is a very important driver of location decision in AIJ energy sector projects. Location of sequestration projects is impacted by the host country's potential for avoiding deforestation as well as by previous aid and trade patterns between a home and a host country. Proximity is not important in this case.
