《新巴比伦法典》民事规范源流考

公元前626年左右,古代西亚地区进入了新巴比伦文明时期。其时,颁行的《新巴比伦法典》详细地规定了以下三个方面的内容,一是关于损害赔偿以及买卖纠纷的处理规定;二是婚嫁过程中的财产赠与及其纠纷的处理规定;三是财产继承的规定。这些民事规范秉承了古巴比伦民事成文法、古亚述民事习惯法的法律传统,颇具特色。它对古代民法的贡献在于:民事权利主体的等级化、婚姻家庭关系的契约化以及财产流转的程式化。因此,《新巴比伦法典》是美索不达米亚法系不可或缺的组成部分,对人类民法的起源做出了自己的贡献。     

Cross-border crime inroads on integrity in Europe,edited by Petrus C. van Duyne,Georgios A. Antonopoulos,Jackie Harvey,Almir Maljevic,Tom Vander Beken and Klaus von Lampe

This article analyses the cohesion of Addiopizzo’s anti-racketeering campaign in Palermo, Sicily. By supporting entrepreneurs who refuse to pay for protection and by encouraging consumers to support these companies through their consumer power, Addiopizzo has mobilised about 900 companies and 11,000 citizens. Taking social capital theory as a point of departure, this article explores the values of trust and norms of reciprocity among entrepreneurs who joined Addiopizzo’s anti-racketeering campaign. In addition, it analyses their solidarity with colleagues who are victims of extortion. Shared values express a stronger commitment to a movement, reinforce internal solidarity, strengthen the collective identity and reduce the risk of free riders and dropouts. The article reveals not only similarities but also important differences between various groups of joiners. The analysis builds on a unique data-set consisting of questionnaires collected from 277 entrepreneurs who joined the campaign between 2005 and 2011.     

搜索引擎竞价排名的法律规范规制

目前对搜索引擎竞价排名进行规制的法律规范还比较混乱,既有直接针对性的,也有在适用上存在争论的,还有应该适用而实际上并不适用的。对搜索引擎竞价排名进行规制的法律规范规制的混乱和滞后,其深层原因在于我国对虚拟社会监管的种种不足,如:监管者对现实社会与虚拟社会之间的关系的认识不足;全能型监管模式下非重点监管领域的应急性监管成为必然;监管者专业知识优势的弱化等。完善对搜索引擎竞价排名的法律规范规制,应该进一步明确互联网信息搜索服务提供者的资质要求;确认搜索引擎竞价排名与网络商业广告之间的关系;细化信息搜索服务商在提供竞价排名服务时应当承担的义务;确定互联网信息搜索服务提供者能否构成滥用市场支配地位。     

Mobilizing Millennial Voters with Targeted Internet Advertisements: A Field Experiment

Internet advertisements have come under tremendous scrutiny recently for their potential to impact electoral outcomes. However, academic research has yet to determine if they have an effect on turnout. This article presents the results of a preregistered field experiment conducted in Dallas, Texas, in partnership with The Dallas Morning News in which individually targeted banner ads were able to generate a statistically significant increase in turnout among Millennial voters in a municipal election. The results show that a combination of information and voting reminder ads was effective, but only for voters in competitive districts. Estimated treatment effects were on par with a telephone mobilization campaign using live callers. These findings contribute to theoretical knowledge about the role of political knowledge and electoral competitiveness in voter mobilization, and offer a new method for testing online advertisements used by political campaigns.     

中国传统社会政治规范中的和谐元素

追求和谐、崇尚和美是中国传统文化的核心和要义。中国传统社会政治规范中的和谐思想有很多。“德”沟通“天”与“人”,同时,在人与人之间、社会各阶层之间充当着黏合剂的角色,可以说其周身散发着“和谐”元素的气息;“礼”从调整血缘亲属的关系入手强调“分”、“别”、“异”,目的仍在“和”;“天下为公”的大同理想蕴含了大量的“公有”、“公平”、“平等”、“平均”等和谐元素;仁是儒家推行“仁政”的基础,作为一种政治主张,其价值取向就是社会和谐;中庸主义体现了求和谐、求适时、求合宜、求稳定的思维方法和行为方法。     

The Russian case for military intervention in Georgia: international law,norms and political calculation

Abstract

The Russian military intervention in Georgia in August 2008 has raised significant questions about Russian thinking and practice on the legitimate use of military force abroad, especially in relation to neighbour states. The arguments advanced by Russia to justify this campaign show how Russian interpretations of customary international law as well as norms related to the use of force have served as an instrument of state policy, rather than being rooted in any broader international consensus. The Russian discourse in this context about sovereignty, self-determination and the legitimacy of recognising South Ossetia and Abkhazia as states appears similarly to be strongly influenced by political self-interest and Russian views about its entitlement within the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region. Among Russian claims, Moscow's commitment to support its ‘citizens’ abroad has been particularly controversial. This article examines these issues and also the possibility that, through its justifications for waging war against Georgia, Russia is more broadly contesting the interpretation of certain international norms, that it regards as essentially constructed by Western states. Some potential implications of these legal and normative arguments for future Russian policy in the CIS region, including Ukraine, are also examined.

《中华人民共和国出入境管理法》将于2013年7月1日起施行,但由于我国出入境管理法律规范繁多,不可避免地出现了刑法与行政法之间的冲突,行政法规范相关条文之间的冲突等法律适用冲突的问题。本文通过对法律沿革并对现行法律的冲突之处进行分析研究,提出法律冲突解决原则、制定统一的法律和法律解释等意见建议,以期为解决出入境管理法律规范冲突问题提供借鉴。     

ASEAN's norm adherence and its unintended consequences in HADR and SAR operations

This paper examines the effects and expressions of norm compliance in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the ‘unintended consequences’ arising from such compliance. This is done through an analysis of ASEAN's responses in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) efforts in the Typhoon Haiyan disaster and in the search for missing flight MH370. It argues that the lethargic ASEAN responses in the Haiyan disaster and the uncoordinated search efforts for missing flight MH370 are unintended outcomes arising from norm adherence specifically to the norms of ‘respect for sovereignty’ and ‘consensual decision-making’ which constrained the range of ASEAN responses.     

试论中国法治语境下犯罪本质的理论选择——规范违反说之提倡

我国的犯罪本质理论研究应当在中国法治的语境中进行，并着力解决中国法治对刑法学提出的突出问题。社会危害性理论是在社会政治论域中对犯罪本质的认识，无法适应法治的要求；法益侵害说也不符合中国法治的实际；犯罪本质的规范违反说才是当下中国法治建设中的有关犯罪本质的理论。     

商主体制度的逻辑理路与规范展开

商主体是交易与组织的混合机制。商主体规范应当立足于不同主体的交易性与组织性特征的不同表现而展开。组织性色彩越浓厚,对商法的需求就越强烈,就越需要由商主体特别法给予某种示范或者强制。如何规范商主体人格独立的五重要素,是商主体制度建构的核心问题。在规范设计中,应围绕财产性规范与管理性规范两范畴,处理好规范的强制性与任意性的关系。一般而言,商主体制度的财产性规范是强制性的,而管理性规范的强制性则因为主体类型的不同而有别。
