国际侦查合作中的刑罚许容性原则

刑罚许容性原则是世界各国参与国际侦查合作的前提条件之一，具有重要的基础性意义。在对相关的国际公约、双边条约或协定以及国内法进行比较考察的基础上，运用刑事诉讼法学以及刑法学的基本原理，论证和阐释了特定犯罪不合作原则的由来、内涵，刑罚许容性的法律表达与理论分类及其价值功能，并且结合立法与司法实践归纳出刑罚许容性原则的发展趋势。     

The Balance Between Coercion and Accommodation

1. Introduction
On the morning of April 1st, 2001, a U.S. EP-3 surveillance aircraft was conducting an intelligence flight along the Chinese territorial border in the airspace south-east of China＇s Hainan Island. Two Chinese fighter jets intercepted the spy plane and followed its flight, as is considered ordinary international practice. For reasons unknown, the EP-3 airplane made a sudden maneuver and crashed into one of the Chinese planes. The Chinese plane dropped into the sea, the pilot missing. The U.S. spy plane was also severely damaged. It intruded into Chinese territorial space and landed on Hainan Island without official permission from the Chinese side. After landing, the spy plane and 24 crew on board were detained by the Chinese authorities. This air collision episode was the first of its kind in the China-U.S. relations and an urgent diplomatic crisis ensued.     

论中国国际民商事诉讼协议管辖制度的立法缺陷与改良

协议管辖制度已发展成为国际民商事诉讼中一项基本管辖权制度，并呈现出以下新的发展趋势：放宽管辖协议形式要件；拓展协议管辖适用范围；淡化协议法院与案件联系因素。为保证协议管辖制度的合理运用，各国均对该制度在立法和理论上作出了必要的限制。为顺应国际潮流，中国相对落后的协议管辖制度之立法和理论亟待进一步充实和完善。     

国际反恐联合侦查研究

面对日益猖獗的国际恐怖主义犯罪,国家之间只有实施联合侦查,才能够及时、有效地侦破此类案件。在联合侦查过程中,合作各方应严格遵守订立的协定,在国际和国内法律许可的范围内,积极选择各种有效的途径和方法,密切合作,共同开展侦查行动。针对联合侦查实施中的各种阻碍因素,我国立法和司法实践应采取务实的态度,作出立法调整和司法观念的转变,建立适应国际趋势的联合侦查制度。     

论国际私法的实质主义法律选择方法

国际私法的实质主义法律选择方法注重相关实体法的具体内容,而不像形式主义法律选择方法那样强调立法管辖权的选择。12世纪意大利后注释法学派代表人物阿尔德里克的"结果选择理论"是实质主义法律选择方法的早期形式,20世纪美国著名冲突法学者利弗拉尔的"较好法律说"则是实质主义法律选择理论的典型代表。形式主义与实质主义法律选择方法的对立的实质在于法的确定性与公平性之间的矛盾。在调和两种价值追求的立法和司法实践中,德国1999年《民法施行法》修正案与美国《第二次冲突法重述》相比更加有效。     

劳工标准的决定：中国的实证分析

本文通过实证分析，认为发展中国家劳工标准的高低，是同其生产力发展水平相一致的。因此，发达国家不能要求发展中国家在现有的生产力水平的基础上提高劳工标准。     

国际货运代理独立经营人身份相关问题探讨——兼谈对商务部1998年《〈国际货物运输代理业管理规定〉实施细则》的修改意见

以货运代理业务及多式联运业务发展的情况为基础,从独立经营人的内涵出发,对独立经营人、多式联运经营人与无船承运人之间的关系进行分析,认为上述主体之间既有区别又有联系,但不是完全等同的概念,不能完全替代。建议商务部在修订1998年《<国际货物运输代理业管理规定>实施细则》时,应摒弃"独立经营人"的概念及相关规定。     

金融性与国际性：国际金融法本质特征之所在

国际金融法这一概念的本质特征就在于其调整对象具有金融性和国际性。从金融的内涵看,资金融通是金融的初始和基本的本质特征,但当代只有将金融界定为虚拟经济才能容纳全部的金融实践。金融性将国际金融法与研究国际关系问题的其它学科或科学区分开来。从外延看,金融涵盖货币、银行、证券、保险等,国际金融法相应地包括以上领域的制度。由于WTO将商业存在作为金融服务提供的方式之一,传统的"国际"标准暴露出其局限性,因此,国际性应将外国在东道国建立商业存在而发生的各类金融关系包括进来。国际性将国际金融法与国内金融法区分开来,而金融性与国际性的结合使国际金融关系成为国际金融法独有和特定的调整对象。     

On prediction in political science

This article discusses recent moves in political science that emphasise predicting future events rather than theoretically explaining past ones or understanding empirical generalisations. Two types of prediction are defined: pragmatic, and scientific. The main aim of political science is explanation, which requires scientific prediction. Scientific prediction does not necessarily entail pragmatic prediction nor does it necessarily refer to the future, though both are desiderata for political science. Pragmatic prediction is not necessarily explanatory, and emphasising pragmatic prediction will lead to disappointment, as it will not always help in understanding how to intervene to change future outcomes, and policy makers are likely to be disappointed by its time-scale.     

Alternative South–South development collaboration? The role of China in the Coega Special Economic Zone in South Africa

Aid, in the form of financial aid and investment, has become increasingly prevalent in both bilateral and multilateral partnerships in the BRICS. In Africa, the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation provides the official framings for forms of development assistance to the continent, with financial forms of aid available through the New Development Bank and the China–Africa Development Bank (CADFund). This article explores how Chinese international development assistance has influenced South Africa's economic growth and development strategies and is reshaping South Africa as “gateway” to Africa and continental leader. Special economic zones (SEZs) have become a prioritised form of BRICS development collaboration particularly in terms of Chinese trade and investment expansionism into Africa through South Africa. Chinese international development assistance and foreign direct investment in South Africa in particular are very notable and have been strengthened during the Chinese official state visit prior to the Johannesburg BRICS Summit in 2018. The article critically analyses the development policy discourse on BRICS spearheading an alternative model of South–South international cooperation by examining the Coega SEZ in South Africa, hailed as the most SEZ in Africa. The article critically examines the development alternative potential of the Coega SEZ.
