论死亡保险金的非遗产化处理——基于对《保险法》第四十二条第一款的分析

我国《保险法》第42条第1款规定,死亡保险金在无指定受益人的情形下作为被保险人的遗产,由保险人依照继承法的规定履行给付保险金的义务.该规定混淆了死亡保险金与遗产,受益权与继承权,以及保险关系与继承关系.死亡保险金不能成为被保险人的遗产,《保险法》第42条第1款应当按照保险金的本来属性进行修改.保险法应当建立法定受益人制度,以解决无指定受益人情形下保险金的给付问题.     

小说叙事空间的多重维度与刘易斯的文化空间想象

本文以列斐伏尔的“空间三一论”为切入点,借鉴了包括叙事学在内的当代西方文学理论的方法和视角,并在深入分析文本的基础上着重探讨了刘易斯主要小说的叙事特征及其作为虚拟空间的意识形态性、文本内涵和文化意蕴,进而挖掘出刘易斯小说的叙事空间特质、作家的文化情感结构和小说人物文化身份的认同危机.     

The Day‐to‐Day Life of a Dean: Engaging in Negotiations and negotiations

This article analyzes the negotiating strategies and tactics that proved useful during my eight‐year stint as dean of the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations during the 1970s. David Lax and James Sebenius have paved the way with their pioneering work on The Manager as Negotiator. By taking this perspective to the academic setting, I have identified a portfolio of tactics that are helpful in understanding how an administrator operates in a complex environment. The examples presented in this article help flesh out the standard categories of distributive and integrative bargaining as well as forcing and fostering strategies for implementing change.     

特里·伊格尔顿的意识形态观

英国马克思主义文学理论家伊格尔顿也许是西方马克思主义传统中继葛兰西和阿尔都塞之后最系统地探讨过意识形态概念的著名学者.本文试图阐明他的意识形态学说的基本特征.这包括四个方面:一、他既反对意识形态中心论又反对意识形态终结论,处于二者之间.二、他兼顾中性的意识形态与贬义的意识形态,广泛涉及意识形态的内含与特征.三、他对贬义意识形态尤其是意识形态认知方面的竭力维护和重新阐发,对"虚假意识"概念正名.四、他既非阿尔都塞主义者也非新葛兰西主义者,处于二者之间.本文认为,伊格尔顿的意识形态学说显示出一种中正平和的色彩,是西方马克思主义意识形态学说趋向成熟和精致的一种表现.     

Mononationals,hyphenationals, and shadow-nationals: multiple citizenship as practice

Multiple citizenship has in recent decades moved from an unwanted phenomenon in international relations to a fairly common transnational status. Multiple citizenship has nevertheless so far been studied mainly as a political and juridical status by comparing national legislations. Much less notice has been given to actual dual citizens' citizen participation and construction of citizens' identities. Only when citizenship is studied as these kinds of practices do the hypothetic possibilities and problems associated with the status get their meanings and contents. This paper concentrates on examining dual citizens' identifications to their respective citizenships and how these affiliations transfer into possible citizen participation. Results are based on extensive analysis of survey (n = 335) and interviews (n = 48) carried out among dual citizens living in Finland. Contents and forms of dual citizens' national identification and citizen participation were reviewed through ideal types: resident-mononationals, expatriate-mononationals, hyphenationals, and shadow-nationals.     

Forest Governance in a Changing World: Reconciling Local and Global Values

Abstract

There has been intense international debate on the governance of forests, in particular tropical forests. This has been driven by contrasting pressures from conservation and human rights groups, respectively calling for global values to prevail so as to protect biodiversity and reduce climate change, or for freedom of choice that empowers local people with the right to manage their own forests. Both sides have condemned irresponsible behaviour by forest officials and political actors, and highlighted the harmful impacts of disregard for the law. However, these normative approaches to forest governance have coincided with a fundamental re-examination of the objectives that societies have for their forest resources. The debate is not only about legality, but also about the legitimacy of forest laws and institutions. This review explores the divergence of views on long-term goals for forests and the implications for their governance. It emphasises that the real challenge is to reconcile the management of forests for values that accrue at different spatial and temporal scales. Forest governance needs to adapt, moving away from a framework based upon the neatly defined boundaries beloved of international organisations and treaties, and submitting to a constant process of adaptation and improvisation at a more local scale. The challenge is to find ways to aggregate such approaches into something that recognisably addresses the global values of forests and forest landscapes. Commonwealth countries have a wide range of forest conditions and are innovating with a range of governance options that provide lessons of potentially wide application.     

论"以人为本"的宪法涵义

现行宪法的第四次修改体现了"以人为本"的修宪观,以人为本不仅禁止国家权力侵犯人的尊严,而且要求国家积极保障个人有尊严地生存、发展的条件.从历史上考察,以人为本的思想在当代有着崭新的内涵,与传统的人本思想有着本质的区别,亦涵盖了西方宪政史中"人的尊严"的理念,其核心意义在于明确国家和人民之间的关系,确立国家最高价值在于人权保障的观念.     

制度建构的进步与立法技术的缺憾-刑事诉讼法修正案“证人制度”评述

《刑事诉讼法修正案（草案）》对“证人制度”作出大幅修改：完善强制证人、鉴定人出庭作证制度;确立强制警察出庭作证制度;构建证人权利体系。刑事证人作证制度初步建立,“证人制度”建构取得重大进步。然而,立法技术的缺憾造成这种制度建构希冀凸显的立法理念并未被完全表达,期盼达到的目标并未完全实现,“证人制度”在具体规则设计上还存...     

论儒家法律思想中的民本主义精神

在先秦各学术流派中,西周宗法制度影响下产生的儒家思想源远流长,对后世影响深远。其中,儒家的法律思想作为儒家法文化的精髓,极大地体现了民本主义的精神。无论在对“民”的“关注”、“重视”上,还是在对统治者的“德”和“贤”的要求上,都极其明显地体现了民本主义的大方向。这可谓是一种相当理性而早熟的思维方式,但是由于文明的发展程度不够,以及没有相应配套的制度支持,使得“爱民”的目的无法达到,“民意”也遭到曲解。尽管如此,儒家法律思想中的“民本”精神的合理内容仍具有极大的现实意义,值得我们借鉴。
