论西方国家政府诚信制度的构建与演变

在经历了长期发展的过程后，西方国家逐步建立起了较为完善的政府诚信制度。其中，宪政是政府诚信的根本制度保障，此外，还有一系列具体的、操作性强的政府诚信的制度，如选举制度、监督制度、信息公开制度、税收制度等。西方国家的政府诚信制度是西方人民政治智慧的结晶，对于正处于政治文明建设中的国家来说，具有很高的借鉴价值。     

比较法视野下的当代宪法典制定——以原社会主义国家现行宪法典的制定为中心

苏联东欧剧变后,由原9个社会主义国家变成的29个非社会主义性质国家先后颁布的29部新宪法既吸取了社会主义时期宪法的教训,又借鉴了资本主义国家宪法的经验,它们是当代宪法典的重要类型和典型代表。这些宪法典的制定至少体现了当代宪法典制定的三大特点:强调公民的直接参与;注重世界人权公约的借鉴;重视宪法法院的设置。

论国际环境法的保护对象

随着国际环境法的发展 ,国际环境法的保护对象经历了一个从点到线、由线到面、再从面到立体的发展过程。可持续发展原则在国际环境法上确立后 ,国际环境法保护对象的范围不断扩大 :在人域内 ,从国家的环境资源主权以及相应的财产权扩大到当今世代全世界范围内的穷国、穷人和未来世代及其利益 ;在人域外 ,从珍稀、濒危动植物扩大到自然万物。《联合国气候变化框架公约》是一个很好的例证 ,其保护对象包括两大类 :自然因素的保护对象和社会因素的保护对象。国际环境法保护对象的发展是人类的希望之所在。     

发达国家无产阶级的新变化对社会主义的影响

知识经济的发展，使发达国家的产业结构、劳动方式、阶级结构等都发生了深刻的变化。无产阶级从总体上看数量增加，素质提高，越来越多的无产进入白领阶层和第三产业，这些新变化不可避免地给社会主义理论和运动带来新的冲击。无产阶级及其政党只有适应知识经济所带来的新变化，创新社会主义理论．重新确定社会主义的依靠力量，制定符合时代特征的斗争纲领和策略．才能重新迎来社会主义运动的新高潮。     

西方国家立法助理制度及其借鉴

本文分为三部分:1.西方国家立法助理制度及其产生的原因;2.西方国家立法助理制度的特点及利弊分析;3.建立我国立法助理制度的建议。认为应从我国的实际出发,在借鉴国外立法助理制度的同时,探索建立符合我国国情的立法助理制度。提出三点建议:一是立法助理制度应以专职和兼职相结合;二是要建立和健全立法助理的各项管理制度和工作制度;三是要建立立法助理制约机制。     

中国与周边国家区域合作的研究

我国周边国家地域广阔 ,经济发展水平差距较大 ,大多数国家为发展中国家 ,这种情况决定了我国与周边国家区域合作的特殊性。我国同周边国家合作的总体目标模式应分为两个层次 ,第一层次应根据周边地区经济发展的实际需要 ,建立不同规模、内容、形式和范围的合作关系 ,并尽可能发挥小规模区域合作网络。第二层次 ,在总结经验的基础上 ,通过进一步协调各国间关系 ,逐渐扩大双方合作领域 ,使我国与周边各国的关系扩大到我国同周边各国区域组织间的关系 ,从而将我国同周边国家合作的档次更提高一步。     

On the enforcement of specific performance in Civil Law countries

Proponents of specific performance as a remedy for breach of contract have found support in the alleged use of the remedy in Civil Law countries. However, we provide evidence that specific performance is in fact a rare remedy in Denmark, Germany and France, and under CISG, when performance requires actions to be undertaken, and we relate this to costs of enforcement. We argue that it is administratively costly to run a system of enforcement that renders specific performance attractive to the aggrieved party, and that the Civil Law countries have (like Common Law countries) chosen not to incur these costs of enforcement. This is especially clear in the case of Denmark, where specific performance of actions has been abandoned as a legal remedy.At the normative level, we argue that enforcement costs provides an additional rationale, over and above the rationales of the theory of efficient breach, for damages and against specific performance as the general remedy.     

Path Dependence and Paradigm Shift: How Cetacean Scientists Learned to Develop Management Procedures that Survived the Controversial Whaling Regime

The transformation of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) into a preservationist regime met with extremely fierce opposition from the prowhaling countries and created an unprecedented and famous polarization of the IWC parties into pro and antiwhaling camps, which can be observed even today. In such a bipolar and harsh process, it would be typically argued that scientific advice would be powerless because it would become subject to heightened scrutiny from both camps resulting in endless technical debate. Our case shows that, on the contrary, the advisory scientists learned to successfully develop a scientific management procedure that was accepted by both the pro and antiwhaling camps. The objective of this paper is to explain this process and examine to what extent collective learning in the assessment process affected the political effectiveness of the management procedure and, more broadly thereby, to contribute to the groundwork of analyzing how the scientists participating in the scientific assessments collectively learn. With a view to cross‐fertilization between institutionalism and science and technology study (STS) approaches, we develop an analytical framework and apply it to the international whaling regime to examine the usefulness of it and provide some general lessons to be learned for making learning assessments more effective. The framework was capable of showing that path dependency and paradigm shift were among the key factors of the scientific assessment's increased effectiveness. Overall, the cross‐fertilization between institutionalism and STS appears to be a fruitful way forward for the next generation of scientific assessment studies.     

Democratic Transition and Economic Transition： The Case of Tunisia

This paper develops the issue of economic transition linked to a democratic transition that a developing country, Tunisia, is living following the revolution of 2011. Tunisia has made a profound change, it is currently developing new institutions, however, it is not an annuitant country, its activities and economic performances depend on political stability and the choice of the implemented politico-economic system. The question is whether the operating political forces will affect the direction of structural changes, thus toward a transition of breakage or the direction of adaptive transition. Neo-liberalism, practiced for 30 years, has developed an entrepreneurship structured as small and medium enterprises, whose performances are variable according to the sector and the state role. With the revolution, the country entered in a phase of political, social, and economic instability. A new constitution is passed, the political system installs the multiparty system, the country has a tradition of openness to the rest of the world, the challenges are numerous and the question of the role of the state in the economic sphere is very acute. The analysis is based on the observation of facts and the review and analysis of data relating to politics and economy, observed in the period before the revolution and after the revolution.
