美国警察"社区为本"的反家庭暴力模式

自20世纪70年代起,美国警察就开始介入反家庭暴力运动.美国警察对家庭暴力的干预是美国近年来对家庭暴力的认识转变、法律改革、警务改革的结果.经过三十多年的探索与研究,他们总结出"社区为本"的反家庭暴力模式.在"社区为本"的反家庭暴力模式中,美国警察开始从传统的、持消极处理态度的调解者身份向现代的、持积极处理态度的执法者和社区服务者角色转变.这种"社区为本"模式有助于充分利用社区的各种资源,帮助受虐者,对预防与消除家庭暴力起了至关重要的作用.     

制造法不允许的危险:质疑与检视

制造法不允许的危险应当被定位为结果归责的前提,而非结果归责的内容。在结果加重犯中,制造法不允许的基本结果之危险,涉及到实行行为的判断;而制造法不允许的加重结果之危险,与实行行为的判断无关,而是属于结果归责的内容。主流的客观归责理论存在着以下严重的缺陷:没有清楚地区分行为不法与结果不法,弱化了刑法上行为规范的指示功能;没有留下足够的空间去讨论刑法限制行为自由的正当根据,不利于保障国民的行动自由;将同一内容反复检验,有损犯罪判断的经济性;不利于确立一个明确的结果归责的连接点,造成结果归责判断的混乱。制造法不允许的危险的下位判断基准,无法为行为无价值立场下的实行行为的判断提供可以借鉴的内容。制造法允许的危险、单纯降低法益的危险等下位判断基准,确实可为结果无价值立场下的实行行为的判断提供值得注意的内容,但受制于自身的立场,并不能将这些内容纳入到实行行为的判断之中。     

Buying Amendments? Lobbyists' Campaign Contributions and Microlegislation in the Creation of the Affordable Care Act

When do campaign contributions matter? This article advances the claim that a group that gives campaign contributions to US Members of Congress is more likely to achieve legislative success when (1) a single legislator can deliver to the group (2) a private benefit (3) without attracting negative attention. Using an original data set based on the written comments of nearly 900 interest groups lobbying the US Senate Finance Committee on health reform legislation in 2009, I link group requests to corresponding legislation. The analysis shows a significant relationship between lobby groups' campaign contributions and their legislative success, and at distinct units of analysis—the group, the side, and the group-senator dyad. The relationship is particularly strong in predicting senators’ amendments in committee. The rare data presented here offer compelling evidence that interest groups' legislative victories are sometimes connected to campaign contributions in a way that previous studies could not identify.     

中国企业在美国反垄断诉讼中的挑战与应对:基于对相关判决的质疑

中国企业在美国的一系列反垄断诉讼发生在中国加入世界贸易组织后与美国在经贸关系中博弈摩擦不断升级的背景之下,其中涉及了美国反托拉斯法的域外适用、国际礼让原则、外国法查明、外国政府对本国法律解释的效力等一系列焦点问题。在相关案件的判决中,美国法院就上述问题的观点和论述存在诸多漏洞和偏颇之处,包括限缩适用"国际礼让原则"中"真实冲突"的条件、外国法查明中客观性的缺失等。而未来随着中国企业日益成为美国反托拉斯重点关注对象,中国企业会面临更多挑战,需从美国国内法、国际法、中国相关政策法规的制定以及企业自身行为的合规性等方面积极应对。     

“Ain't Making It in America”: The Economic Characteristics of African Immigrants in North Carolina,USA

This study interviewed 350 African immigrants in North Carolina (NC) to shed light on their economic conditions. It focused primarily on their labor force participation and incomes for the period 2004–2014. The findings showed that both structural changes in NC's economy and prejudicial experiences within the labor force were the most important forces that undermined the economic ambitions of the Africans. The study also yielded a complex picture and raised some questions about the resettlement outcome of African immigrants in the United States.     

Internationalisation as a Democratic Tool: Revisiting Mexico's Double Transition

Mexico's double transition—democratisation and internationalisation—offers a good case study to analyse the interaction between internationalisation processes and domestic developments during transitions to democracy. This article explains how the specific way in which Mexico linked with North America worked as a causal mechanism during the country's democratisation. In the end, an inadequate project of internationalisation—spearheaded by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)—failed to fulfil its democratising potential.     

P2P网贷与债权众筹等同论之批判

P2P网贷与债权众筹等同论将其所谓的债权众筹与《JOBS法案》中的债权众筹相等同的做法，犯了混淆了其所谓的债权众筹与《JOBS法案》中债权众筹的概念的逻辑错误，误导了我国监管者介入P2P网贷的时机和策略，扭曲了P2P网贷风控制度供给与风险防范需求，引发了被监管者在《证券法》中的身份界定难题。《JOBS法案》中关于债权众筹的监管规则对我国P2P网贷来说不具有可移植性，证券监管体制也不适合我国P2P网贷的监管。为了避免等同论继续起不良作用，应抛弃该理论。     

Parental Alienation Syndrome in Spain: opposed by the Government but accepted in the Courts

ABSTRACT

For over fifteen years, Spain has seen the promulgation of feminist-inspired legal frameworks to combat male violence against women and, as a result, Spanish law contains a variety of mechanisms that target male violence. However, the parallel dissemination of the pseudo-scientific concept of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), especially since 2004, has become a tool to stall the enforcement of gender equality legislation. Specifically, PAS is causing severe harm in legal procedures related to marital breakdown. Both the government and the General Council of the Judiciary have taken a stand against the deployment of PAS in the legal system, but the notion of parental alienation is still widely used in family courts. This article analyses the contemporary significance of PAS in Spain. It grounds itself in an examination of key government reports and legal cases, and draws on qualitative survey data from interviews with 20 women who have been either formally accused, or threatened with accusations of parental alienation.
