The Frontiers of Legal Analysis: Reframing the Transition in Northern Ireland

British constitutional legal discourse is structurally limited in its capacity to capture the complexity of the Good Friday Agreement. Rather than assessing the Agreement in narrow devolutionary terms, it should be seen as a hybrid domestic and international law instrument, making an important contribution to accepted international law norms in relation to self-determination. The Agreement transforms and partly transcends the Northern Ireland conflict by substituting political contestation for violent conflict, and by defining the modalities of conducting that contestation. This analysis complements classical international law perspectives, and opens up the application of legal discourses associated with 'transitional justice' to the legal and political transformation in Northern Ireland. These discourses focus on the problem of reconciling the demands of peace with the imperatives of justice. The Agreement sits squarely in this terrain with its provisions on 'dealing with the past' and 'institutional legacies'. The insights gained here challenge orthodox thinking about conflict-management and the ongoing political process.     

文化对话:全球化时代的生存智慧

从文化角度看,全球化是一个矛盾体系,是整合与碎裂、一体化与分离化、世界化与本土化的张力场。全球化时代文化多元化是必要的,但推到极端刻意强调文化本土化、文化民族主义及发展为文化沙文主义、文化原教旨主义,将导致文化的矛盾、对立与冲突,影响人类社会的和平与发展,甚至将脆弱的地球村推向崩溃的边缘。因此,在全球化时代,展开不同文化间的沟通与对话,消除偏见与冲突.是21世纪地球村公民生存发展的智慧选择。     

Hausbetreuungskosten – Verrechnung als Betriebskosten

Dem Mieter dürfen als Betriebskosten im Sinne des § 21 MRG immer nur die angemessenen Kosten verrechnet werden, gleichgültig auf welche Art die Hausbetreuungskosten erbracht werden. Die Angemessenheit des Entgelts oder Werklohns stellt daher die Obergrenze dar. Die nach früherem Recht für Hausbesorger zu leistenden Betr?ge bilden keine H?chstgrenze für die Angemessenheit.

Bargaining for justice: A means to resolve competing justice claims

In many types of social situations, individuals defend their claims to a portion of the rewards by arguing that they are just. Although a great deal of research demonstrates that individuals differ in their distribution preferences and thus their beliefs about what is fair, the literature curiously omits consideration of the consequences of these differences, especially the conflict they may engender. This paper first reviews the few attempts to address such justice conflict. The limitations of these approaches suggest concerns to be addressed in an alternative framework. The paper presents a theoretical discussion of this alternative that integrates assumptions about distribution preferences, justice beliefs, conditions fostering the emergence of justice conflict, and elements of negotiation processes as a basic framework for predictions about the bargaining strategies individuals may employ to resolve competing justice claims.

论“联俄制日”外交的形成及其对《中俄密约》的影响

19世纪末，面对日本对中国的侵略，李鸿章等人秉承“以夷制夷”的外交思想，采取了“联俄制日”的外交政策，即利用俄国和日本在华利益冲突，使之彼此制约，以达到抵制日本侵略、保护自己的目的。但是，由于清政府的腐朽，“联俄制日”不仅没有达到“制日”的目的，反而被俄所利用，同俄国签订了《中俄密约》，为俄国扩大对华侵略打开了方便之门。
