1949年以来金门在两岸关系中的地位与作用

1949年以来，金门在两岸关系中的地位和作用随着两岸关系互动态势的起伏而变迁。在20世纪50年代至70年代末两岸军事对峙时期，两岸在金门及其附近海域展开了激烈的冲突和对抗，也因此型塑了金门长期以来的战地角色。随着两岸关系的缓和，金门的战地角色逐渐褪去，随之产生了金门该如何在两岸关系中定位的问题，金门地方政府和民众也开始从自身的发展和利益出发争取在两岸关系中的适当定位，但与台湾当局存在诸多矛盾和冲突。“小三通”实施以后，金门成为两岸交流交往的先行者和试验者，在两岸关系中具有独特的地位和优势，但是由于台湾当局的重重限制，“小三通”对于金门地方的发展而言其实是象征意义多于实质意义。随着两岸三通直航进程的推进，金门未来只有跟祖国大陆，尤其是福建省、厦门市建立更加密切的联系，才能实现经济的发展和繁荣。     

党员民主权利保障:历史考察、现状扫描及路径选择

尊重党员主体地位、保障党员民主权利是当前党的建设的重要内容。当前．党员民主权利保障的规章制度逐步完善，运行机制逐步健全，党员权利意识普遍增强，党员权利保障状况整体良好，但仍存在党员权利得不到充分保障的现象。要进一步保障党员民主权利，调动广大党员的积极性和创造性，必须在制度建构、途径创新、观念转变等方面着力完善。     

关奇党员在人大中双重身份的思考

人大代表的党员身份与代表身份在本质上应该是统一的，但在具体实践中也存在不一致的现象。为此，应从讨论、决议的问题出发，确认其行使权利的身份；从行使权利主体出发，提高代表素质、独立思考能力以及“代表性”；从立法规范角度出发，建议立法明确党员人大代表的身份性质；从参政议政实效出发，逐步从兼职代表制向专职代表制过渡；从长远和整体利益出发，将党的领导与人民当家作主和谐统一起来。     

罪刑法定原则的内在要求及面临的挑战

罪刑法定原则不仅是刑事立法的决定性原则,也是刑事司法的指导性原则;应当将罪刑法定原则宪法化,以充分实现公民的人身权和财产权的神圣不可侵犯;罪刑法定原则的内容除了传统的几方面之外,还包括罪刑规范的明确性、具体性、正当性、合理性、相对稳定性;目前罪刑法定原则在发展中存在着犯罪化和非罪化的严重;中突、重刑化和轻刑化的明显冲突、相对负刑事责任范围的特定与否的冲突、刑法的主动性和及时性调整与部门法滞后性和排他性调整的冲突、不利于被告的扩大化解释与保障人权的冲突等。     

蓝舌病的流行现状

论述了蓝舌病在全球(包括欧洲、中东、北非及其他地区)的流行现状,并分析了蓝舌病的流行原因,另外对该病流行病学研究的新方法进行了描述。提出,应加强对疫区原有血清型及新血清型毒株的流行病学监测及对健康动物实施适当免疫。     

文化立法研究：共识、争议、进展及其评判

尽管我们已经对应该加快文化立法、提高文化建设法制化水平达成了共识,但就文化立法的基本原则、文化立法的内涵外延及文化法的体系构成等诸问题仍然存在多元化的认识。通过对文化事业立法和文化产业立法各自研究进路和研究实践的考察,我们可以发现,当前的文化立法研究在结构上呈现不平衡态势,法制视角和法学方法尚未得到普遍关注和运用,迄今也未勾勒出文化法制的完整的顶层设计方案。     

Overcoming US-North Korean Enmity: Lessons from an Eclectic IR Approach

ABSTRACT

Periods of mutual enmity in US-North Korean relations are typically interrupted by more conciliatory gestures. How can the many twists and turns in this relationship be explained and hopefully overcome so that more long-lasting détente is accomplished? Drawing eclectically on realism and constructivism, we conclude that a nuclear deal should address not only North Korea’s interests in security and regime survival, but also its status concerns. Applying the same theories to the other part of the dyad – the US – we conclude that it may now have material interests in ameliorating the relationship, but that such a development requires US foreign policy discourse to cease depicting North Korea as “irrational” and “evil”.     

The limited job prospects of displaced workers: evidence from two cities in China

The economic restructuring in China over the past decade has resulted in displacement of millions of workers who had been employed in the state sector. This has posed tremendous challenges economically, socially, politically, and culturally. For several years, Chinese policies attempted to cushion the shock by requiring state-owned enterprises to provide living allowances and reemployment services to workers who had been displaced. There have been few empirical studies that have tracked the experiences of these displaced or xiagang workers. This study uses survey data from two large industrial cities covering the period 1998–2000 to analyze the labor market situation of over 2,000 workers 2 years after they had been observed as displaced and unemployed. The findings point to the high rates of labor force withdrawal and a low proportion who find another wage job in the formal sector. It also documents the large number of workers who find work in the informal sector which seems to act as an important safety net. Not surprisingly, education is an important determinant of post-layoff labor market outcomes. Active labor market interventions do not seem to make a substantial difference although there is some evidence from the duration analysis that training does help workers find employment more quickly than they would have otherwise.

SUPPORTING FAMILY STRENGTH: THE USE OF TRANSFORMATIVE MEDIATION IN A PINS MEDIATION CLINIC

This article describes, and explains the rationales for, the establishment of an innovative program in which a law school and two social services agencies are collaborating in a mediation clinic that uses the transformative model of mediation to serve clients in cases that seem ideally suited to benefit from this approach to practice—so-called "PINS" (persons in need of supervision) cases involving conflict within families, between parents and their adolescent children. The article first describes the evolution of the PINS system and the changing views of its purpose, especially in New York State. It then offers a brief introduction to the unique features of the transformative approach to mediation and explains why that approach in particular is likely to mesh with current understandings of the needs of the families involved in these cases. Finally, the article describes the innovative "Family Solutions Program" and how it uses transformative mediation to help these families and suggests that experience of this program shows how use of the transformative model, in particular, could be valuable not only for clinical education but also for effective volunteer training and supervision in mediation programs generally.     

“平等主体”民法调整对象限制语研究综述

我国《民法通则》第2条规定：“中华人民共和国民法调整平等主体的公民之间、法人之间、公民与法人之间的财产关系和人身关系。”可见对所调整的社会关系加了“平等主体”的限制语。对民法学界关于这一限制语存在的当否问题的证成研究和证伪研究两方面进行疏理,进而启发学人的思考,显得十分必要。
