法律与证券市场关系研究的一项进路——LLSV理论及其批判

合称LLSV的四位美国学者设立的“法律与金融”理论，通过数据统计分析创造性地提出，法系渊源导致了不同国家对投资者保护的系统性不同，从而造成了证券市场系统性的强弱不一。总体而言，普通法系的投资者法律保护强于大陆法系，证券市场也更发达。此种理论引发了大量讨论，并开辟了新的学术领域。LLSV理论有相当的可取性，但学界也已对之提出了多种批评意见，主要包括：LLSV所用的测量指标选取和赋值中的问题、统计方法本身的局限性、与诸多国家发展事实的不契合及该种理论对法律移植过程之重要性的忽视等。从正反两面总结、评估这些研究，将对法律与证券市场的关系有更为全面深刻的认识。     

海上反恐与国际海运安全制度研究

海上恐怖主义是具有政治目的的海上恐怖组织或海上恐怖分子以暴力手段,从事危害海洋安全,危害船舶以及船上财产和人命安全,危害港口设施安全的恐怖活动。海上恐怖主义和海盗行为之间存在很大区别,同时又有着密切联系。美国"9.11事件"后,国际社会尤其是国际组织对恐怖主义活动给予了前所未有的重视,纷纷制定国际条约和国际协定以打击国际恐怖主义活动,在海运反恐立法方面,国际海事组织、世界海关组织、国际劳工组织等的反恐国际安排具有一定的代表性,构成了国际海运安全制度的主要内容。我国作为海运大国,同样面临海上恐怖主义威胁,因此我国亦有必要加强国际合作,重构海运反恐立法格局。     

地下金融经济犯罪的风险与防范

地下金融是潜伏在繁荣经济活动中的一股暗流，尽管对某些地区经济发展有一定程度的积极作用，但其中蕴合巨大的经济犯罪风险。地下金融潜在着经济犯罪风险，应从调整金融体制、加重对此类犯罪的打击和加强金融监控三个层面防范地下金融经济犯罪的风险。     

公共财政下的税收债法理论

国家与财政的公共性密不可分,二者关系的厘清,不仅关系着财政学基本理论的明确,也关系着我国财政法治的实现。而税收债法理论一改国家分配论的权力观,不仅为学界理解税收、税法的基本理论提供了新的思路,更有助于构建有中国特色的社会主义财政法体系。以公共财政为背景,从公共财政的核心及具体要求出发,探讨税收之债的基本涵义,着重分析税收债法概念的引入对于税法原则、税法权利及救济等关系着我国财税法治建设发展进程的重要意义。

Free Expression,Pre‐Crime and Counter‐Terrorism Legislation

This article examines the Counter‐Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 and how this new piece of legislation undermines fundamental human rights, including those protected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). It considers in particular how the new act criminalises behaviour with a wide sweep, to include behaviour that is not in itself criminal, but might be indicative of future criminal intent. As a result, the act restricts the right to freedom of speech and to liberty in a manner that is neither necessary nor proportionate.     

Terrorism,violence against the public,and the media: The Australian approach

This paper examines the balance between the apparently competing objectives of government and the media in the general area of violence against the public and details the Australian model for handling issues associated with terrorism and the media. Australia's counterterrorism strategy may be considered holistic, going beyond the idea of a comprehensive capability for response to an actual public incident to include preventive measures and enhancement of the national security environment, suggesting that all elements of the society, including the media, regard security as a cooperative endeavor. These elements have been developed in the “National Anti‐Terrorist Plan” (NATP), developed by Australia's Standing Advisory Committee on Commonwealth/State Cooperation for Prevention against Violence (SAC‐PAV). For the past several years, the SAC‐PAV has been developing a basic strategic guide to provide structure for its many activities, and the committee has agreed that the NATP requires a fourfold strategy for dealing with the media: (1) public communication policies and guidelines, (2) incorporating media response and incident management strategies, (3) media training, and (4) physical controls. In addition, the SAC‐PAV has formulated a set of guidelines for the media to apply when covering terrorist incidents, indicating clearly what crisis managers and counterterrorism response organizations expect of media handling of public crises.     

The effects of campaign finance spending bans on electoral outcomes: Evidence from the states about the potential impact of Citizens United v. FEC

This paper seeks to understand the effect of campaign finance laws on electoral outcomes. Spurred by the recent Supreme Court decision, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010), which eliminated bans on corporate and union political spending, the study focuses on whether such bans generate electoral outcomes that are notably different from an electoral system that lacks such bans. We look to two key electoral dynamics that such bans might influence: the partisan balance of power and the success of incumbents. Using historical data on regulations in 49 American states between 1968 and 2009 we test alternative models for evaluating the impact of corporate spending bans put in place during this period. The results indicate that spending bans appear to have limited effects on election outcomes.

The Chilean presidential elections of 1999–2000 and democratic consolidation

This article examines the campaign and the outcome of the presidential elections held in 1999–2000 in Chile. It argues that the election marks a crucial phase in the consolidation of democracy in Chile. It can be seen as the first “normal” election since the return to democracy in 1990. It was unusually competitive and the result was in doubt until the second round vote. The election was notable for its emphasis on the future. Issues of the past were largely ignored ‐ as was the position of General Pinochet in London. The campaign of the Right was based upon an above‐party appeal while that of the ruling coalition relied on the traditional weight of parties in Chile. The result can be seen as an endorsement of the policies of the Concertacion government, but it also represented a resurgence of the Right. The victorious candidate, Ricardo Lagos, has stressed his commitment to social justice and to equity ‐ but he faces the problem of a governing coalition with internal differences still to be resolved, and a Right better placed to be a formidable opposition.
