A Tale of Two Milibands: From Environmental Citizenship to the Politics of the Common Good

Two different proposals for a political basis for a low carbon transformation in Britain have been put forward in recent years by the Miliband brothers. In 2006, David Miliband argued for a new ‘environmental contract’ between state and citizens, in the spirit of the post‐war social contract. Last year Ed Miliband proposed a ‘politics of the common good’. The historical sociology of citizenship suggests that the environmental contract approach will not work, mainly because of the pure public bad nature of the climate nature and the politics that flow from this. The ‘common good’ approach is more promising, but to make any headway, will have to tackle the strengthening of materialism and populism over the last generation.     

面对城市与农村的两难抉择——对河北翟城村分离的核心家庭的考察

本文以中国的社会变迁、家庭变革为背景,通过对河北翟城村的实际考察,揭示出一种特殊的家庭结构形式--分离的核心家庭.它符合人类家庭发展的基本趋势,但受中国这一特殊场域的制约,具体地说是受到中国的制度结构及农民自身理性选择的影响,又呈现出自身的特点.本文试图对这一家庭结构的形成、及它对家庭和社会的影响做一分析和探讨.

国际贸易合同主体欺诈及其对策

随着我国加入WTO,国际贸易在我国呈现出前所未有的迅猛发展势头。在诸多的国际贸易欺诈形式中,具有欺诈性质的合同是尤其应当系统研究并严加防范的。国际贸易合同主体欺诈形式主要有虚构合同主体欺诈形式、变更合同主体欺诈形式、有限责任欺诈形式。国际贸易合同主体欺诈的对策主要有资信调查和主体法律性质的审查。     

Carbon dioxide capture and storage—liability for non-permanence under the UNFCCC

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has recently been gaining more and more attention as a climate change mitigation option. However, as CO₂ may re-enter the atmosphere after injection into geological reservoirs, the question of long-term liability has to be considered if an environmentally sound policy is desired. Apart from this aspect, additional complexities arise from the fact that CO₂ capture and storage can be carried out in two different countries. A classification of CCS cross-border activities shows that not all cases with non-Annex I participation fall under the Clean Development Mechanism. This classification is based on the assumption that according to Article 1.8 of the Framework Convention on Climate Change, CCS would be considered an emission reduction at the source. Furthermore, we elaborate on the problem that seepage of CO₂ from reservoirs located in non-Annex I countries—under current rules—would not be subtracted from the emission budget of any country. We discuss options for creating liability in these cases.     

H5N1型禽流感病毒感染致死的病理组织学改变——附1例尸检报告

本文报导1例经病毒血清学检验确诊为H5N1型禽流感病毒感染致死的尸体，其病理学改变主要特征为肺泡腔面形成厚层均质红染物，肺泡间隔增宽，内有炎细胞浸润。我们认为其肺部组织学改变可以为H5N1型禽流感病毒感染致死的法医学鉴定提供佐证。     

全面建设小康社会与改变世界的马克思主义哲学

实现全面建设小康社会的宏伟目标,离不开马克思主义哲学的指导和关注.深入理解马克思主义哲学作为"改变世界"的哲学的真实含义,进而以符合马克思主义哲学本性的方式"介入"到全面建设小康社会的事业中,才能真正发挥马克思主义哲学之于当代中国现实的巨大理论功能.     

刑事诉讼实践中的若干问题研究

刑事诉讼实践中存在着一些问题,如法院将作出对被告人有利的无罪判决时,检察院以“事实、证据有变化为由”,申请撤诉,从而严重侵害了被告人的人权；无罪案件中的非法证据问题；法院是否可以变更起诉罪名和事实宣告被告人无罪；法院在宣告被告人无罪前,检察院申请撤回起诉等等。研究这些问题,对促进和完善刑事诉讼程序具有一定的实践和理论意义。     

The Role of University Spinout Companies in an Emerging Technology: The Case of Nanotechnology

This study examines the role of university spin-out (USO) companies in the emergence of a new technology, in our case nanotechnology. Three unique data-sets based on patents, co-publications, and firm data pertaining to the unfolding field of nanotechnology in the UK were developed. Subsequent analysis suggests that USOs play an important though not a dominant role. Furthermore, the results indicate that USOs in certain subfields of nanotechnology do not have a strong and growing proprietary technology base, raising questions about the commercial sustainability of these ventures. Overall, we observed that USOs are important contributors to technological change in specific subfields of nanotechnology, but that other actors, notably, large firms and (non-university affiliated) new technology-based firms are even more significant agents of technological change.     

Is EU enlargement bad for environmental policy? Confronting gloomy expectations with evidence

As the EU expands to include the Central and East European (CEE) countries, its capacity to adopt and implement environmental policy will be negatively affected—this has been a widely held assumption. The CEE countries have been expected to be laggards, slowing down, weakening or even reversing progress in environmental policy-making. More than 2 years have now passed since the enlargement, and the new member-states have begun to make their mark on EU decision-making and implementation. This article confronts gloomy expectations with evidence in three issue-areas: genetically modified organisms, air pollution and climate change. The main conclusions are, first, that there is no indication that enlargement will result in any breakdown of EU environmental policy. Second, the consequences vary across issue-areas. The new member-states have strengthened the group that favours strict regulation of genetically modified organisms, weakened the implementation of the EU emission trading directive and have affected EU air policy hardly at all. These results can give an indication of what is to come. On the other hand, only a short time has passed since enlargement, and the picture may change with regard to other issue-areas.
