改革开放以来中国农村社会的结构转型及其意涵

传统社会向现代社会的转型本质上是社会关系的转型。当前,我国农村社会正由传统向现代过渡,反映这种社会关系转型轨迹的中国农村经济、社会及政治结构出现了实质性的分化:乡村利益格局日益趋向多元化,教育及文化的发展使农民的意识从"身份取向"向"权利取向"转变,并自发形成了以自主治理为特征的乡村社会团体。农村经济-社会结构的转型构成了未来我国新型乡村治理关系的基础。     

从观念走向制度——中国检察制度的历史探源与解析

对中国检察制度研究，在持客观态度的同时，科学的研究方法也同样重要。因此，笔者从历史角度对目前中国检察制度研究中出现的一些问题进行梳理．中国检察制度历史渊源主要有古代御史制度、苏联检察制度和西方检察制度，对历史渊源追行客观评价对检察制度改革至关重要。在改革中，司法理念与制度建设具有互动性，二者既可能相互取利又可能产生冲突，只有以史为鉴，妥善处理这些问题，才能保证检察制度改革稳步推进。

Barriers to Gender Equality in the Canadian Legal Establishment

In this paper we trace the historical exclusion of women from the legal profession in Canada. We examine women’s efforts to gain entry to law practice and their progress through the last century. The battle to gain entry to this exclusive profession took place on many fronts: in the courts, government legislature, public debate and media, and behind the closed doors of the law societies. After formal barriers to entry were dismantled, women continued to confront formidable barriers through overt and subtler forms of discrimination and exclusion. Today’s legal profession in Canada is a contested one. Women have succeeded with large enrolments in law schools and growing representation in the profession. However, women remain on the margins of power and privilege in law practice. Our analysis of contemporary official data on the Canadian legal profession demonstrates that women are under-represented in private practice, have reduced chances for promotion, and are excluded from higher echelons of authority, remuneration, and status in the profession. Yet, the contemporary picture of the legal profession also reveals that women are having an important impact on the profession of law in Canada by introducing policy reforms aimed at creating a more humane legal profession.
