美国与东盟国家自由贸易协定计划的提出与实施

美国出于政治和经济需要提出了"发起东盟事业倡议"计划,其实质是美国准备与东盟国家签署一系列的自由贸易协定.美国与东盟关系中存在着显而易见的"中国因素".美国"发起东盟事业倡议"是要巩固美国在东盟的存在,抵消中国的影响.在东盟的对外经贸关系中,美国占据重要地位.美国希望借助"发起东盟事业倡议",与东盟国家签署一系列自由贸易协定,来进一步扩大与东盟经贸关系.新加坡是东盟国家和亚洲国家中第一个与美国签署自由贸易协定的国家,目前美国还正在与泰国和马来西亚进行自由贸易协定的谈判.本文的目的是通过这一情况的介绍使我们更加深刻理解中国与东盟建立自由贸易区的必要性和急迫性.     

美国国会立法程序研究——以两党作用为视角

美国参众两院的立法程序显著不同。美国参众两院的立法规则体现出很大的异质性,众议院规则强调多数决定原则,多数党可以控制立法,众议员个人很难在立法中施加影响。而参议院规则突出的是一致同意原则,强调参议员个人权利,参议员个人往往可以阻碍立法进程。     

论大陆架划界之公平原则——兼及东海大陆架划界问题在公平原则下的考察

公平原则作为大陆架划界的基本原则的地位是在国际实践中逐步确立的,并且已经成为习惯国际法的一部分.其内涵在于,追求划界结果的公正与合理.自然延伸、等距离、成比例、协商等划界的原则与方法,只有在符合公平原则的基础上才能加以适用.在东海大陆架划界问题上,公平原则也应该起主导作用.     

寻求生存方式的同一性——美加新华侨华人的文化认同分析

本文认为加强对华侨华人文化认同的研究,对于华侨华人融入主流社会,充分发挥华侨华人在传承中华文明中的作用,以培育有利于中国和平发展的国际舆论氛围,具有重要意义.文章首先对文化认同进行了理论阐释,接着分析了美加新华侨华人的文化认同结构,最后探讨了新华侨华人文化认同的原因.文章认为,美国、加拿大新华侨华人为寻求生存方式的同一性,其民族情感是双重的,他们既认同所在国并为所在国效忠,参与所在国的建设与发展;同时在心灵层次上又认同祖籍国的文化,并形成对中华文化深深的情感依恋.双重文化认同在美国和加拿大社会新华侨华人中之所以长期存在,其原因是他们生存发展的需要,民族认同的情感需要,居住国政治体制的二重性和祖籍国政府的支持.     

Sweet dreams are made of this: The need for narrowly tailored statutory protection for documented dreamers

The growing backlog of immigrant visa petitions and legal permanent resident adjustment applications is a harsh reality of the American dream. Dependent children of immigrants can wait decades for their parents' visas to become current, only to age out of dependent status before stepping foot on American soil. Dependent children of nonimmigrants seeking to become legal permanent residents age out before their parents' adjustment application is approved – leaving them at risk of removal. This Note proposes a temporary visa status for these dependents, allowing them to maintain legal status in America and remain with their parents.     

美援与台湾工业职业教育的发展

20世纪50年代初到60年代初期,为了帮助台湾解决技术人才短缺的问题,美国将对台湾教育援助的重点放在职业教育特别是工业职业教育方面,协助台湾设立相关机构,设计课程,建设实训工场,推动台湾的工业职业教育走向务实成熟。台湾工业职业教育的进步不仅推动了台湾工业的发展,而且还提升了台湾在美国亚太地区战略体系中的地位。     

美国专利交易趋向展望——从专利投机到专利投资信托

专利投机行为在美国专利交易中扮演着一个重要的角色,利弊各现,既有制度原因,也有经济原因。要建立高效的专利交易市场,专利投资信托不可或缺,其有引人的税金节约额、灵活的法人结构等优势,代表着未来美国专利交易的新趋向。     

利益平衡原则的轮回：美国专利法发展之历程及启示

专利权是天然的垄断性权利,因而极易被滥用,对促进市场竞争和阻碍科学发展具有双刃剑的作用,其制度核心在于价值界定的科学与合理。从专利权的垄断利益与公共利益相互平衡的视角切入。对美国专利法200多年的发展历程中利益平衡原则的轮曰进行梳理,借鉴美国立法经验借鉴,对我国专利立法确立专利权法律保护与限制恰当的平衡点来中和专利权的天生缺陷是有必要的。     

Forgotten Children of Immigration and Family Law: How The Absence of Legal Aid Affects Children in the United States

The absence of government‐appointed legal counsel in immigration proceedings adversely affects large numbers of children in the United States. Children born in the United States to parents without citizenship status (U.S.‐born children of noncitizen parents or UCNP) are harmed by a parent's detention and removal. Unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who have entered the country without legal status are adversely affected by their own detention and removal. The possibility of obtaining relief from removal is drastically diminished by the lack of legal representation. Currently UAC and immigrant parents are not entitled to court‐appointed attorneys. Any meaningful change in immigration law, such as a federal statutory amendment to provide UAC and immigrant parents with government‐appointed counsel is unlikely due to the present political dissension in Congress regarding this issue. Because UAC and immigrant parents are not entitled to government‐funded legal representation, a pro bono legal service system has developed, but is unable to meet the present need adequately. For immigrant parents, this Note proposes the adoption of a statute to allow the appointment of court liaisons in family court proceedings. The court liaison is a nonattorney who is familiar with the processes of the family court and ensures that immigrant parents are fully informed regarding all pertinent family court proceedings. For UAC, this Note proposes an amendment to the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act to mandate the appointment of a child advocate to all UAC. The child advocate is not a lawyer, but works with the UAC's attorney to provide the child with legal representation and advocacy.

Key Points for the Family Court Community:
• UCNP confront the loss of parents to detention and removal. Children are condemned to limbo, torn between absent biological parents and placement in foster care.
• The recent surge in the number of UAC who enter the United States by crossing the border from Mexico has been described as a humanitarian crisis. These children often remain alone without legal protection, vulnerable to detention and removal.
• Ideally, UAC and the immigrant parents would be provided with government‐funded legal representation in immigration proceedings. In the absence of the federal statutory reform necessary to make that a reality, state statutory reform to allow for the provision of court liaison programs for immigrant parents and federal statutory reform to allow the appointment of child advocates for UAC can begin to offer children and families needed legal support and advocacy.
