重新界定《中华人民共和国海商法》的调整对象——以主体-关系规范模式为视角

《中华人民共和国海商法》（简称《海商法》）调整对象的准确界定是该法修改成功的基础之一。《海商法》第1条关于＂调整海上运输关系、船舶关系＂的规定,被认为是《海商法》调整对象的规范表述,但该表述存在概念指称不清、外延过于宽泛或不确定、主体缺失与规定错位及调整对象与调整目标之间缺乏合理的对应关系等问题。关于《海商法》调整对象的学理解释观点纷呈,但均过于表面化,未能反思立法不当问题。通过对《海商法》调整对象界定依据的分析,指出应当依据实践诉求、空间要素、主体法律地位及体系性诉求,将《海商法》调整对象界定为平等主体间的法律地位及因船舶运输、船舶停泊、船舶归属与利用而产生的社会关系及与之有关的社会关系。     

Corporate governance reform: the case of Korea

Due partly to the expectations of foreign investors, the reform of corporate governance following the 1997 financial crisis has largely been in line with the Anglo-American outsider model at the expense of Korea's traditional insider model. The increased role of the (equity) market vis-à-vis banks and shareholder activism, NGOs and foreign investors has helped to constrain ‘tunnelling’ by controlling shareholders. While the complicated ownership structures have yet to be resolved, the governance paradigm of chaebols has gradually changed from one dominated by family or controlling shareholders to a system in which the power of professional managers and monitoring of markets have increased substantially.     

公司取得自己股份:日本公司法典评析

日本于1899年颁布的<商法典>,在立法精神和制度上坚持大陆法系的传统.基于公司的人格理论以及一些弊端的存在,日本早期立法坚持公司不得取得本公司股份的原则.但是,随着日本社会经济环境和世界政治经济格局的巨大变化,日本商法典进行了多次修改,逐步放宽了公司持股的限制.基于实现公司法制现代化的需要,2005年7月颁布的<日本公司法典>对公司持股采取了原则允许的立场.探讨日本立法上的变化对我国的立法完善有着积极意义.     

Takeover Defenses’ Influence on Managerial Incentives

This article examines how takeover defenses influence managerial incentives with respect to long-term investments, excess liquidity and capital structure. The article presents a cross-sectional regression based on a sample of listed Danish firms and deals explicitly with the problem of causation between the variables. Takeover defenses adopted by Danish firms mainly consist of shares with dual class voting rights, which are often combined with foundation ownership. The article finds that protected firms have significantly less debt to equity. However, protected firms are not significantly more oriented towards the long-term and do not have significantly more excess liquidity.     

公司人格本质与社会责任的三种维度

从本质上说,法律塑造的公司人格不过是人与人之间社会关系在法律、社会伦理与自我认识层次上的集中反映。相应地,对公司社会责任也可从三个维度予以解构:法律意义上的社会责任是一切公司应尽的最低限度的法定责任,其约束力最强;伦理意义上的社会责任则是对公司的外在约束,此种约束机制可以是纯粹倡导性的公司伦理,也可以是介于伦理与法律之间的"软法";而公司内生的超出法律与"软法"之上的社会责任则是纯粹自律性的。三种性质的社会责任相互依存并相互转化,因此,仅有法律意义上的社会责任机制是远远不够的。     

文化刚性与企业战略调整

本文从企业文化不易被改变的刚性特征出发,运用实证研究的方法,分析其对企业战略调整的影响性。研究表明,企业文化的刚性特征与企业战略的持久性和企业进行战略调整所遇到的阻力之间存在显著的正相关关系。同时,企业文化三个层次的刚性特征对于企业战略调整发生的层次性具有较强的预测性。     

Do Industrial Tax Abatements Spur Property Value Growth?

Despite ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of tax abatements, Michigan's Industrial Facilities Tax (IFT) abatement program has been widely and extensively used to boost local economic development. In this article, we estimate the effects of industrial property tax abatements on industrial, residential, and commercial property value growth in the context of regional competition for a panel of 152 communities in the five counties surrounding Detroit from 1983 through 2002. We find that: (1) offering tax abatements yields statistically significant positive impacts on industrial property value growth; (2) the impacts are larger in high tax than in low tax communities; (3) there are positive spillover effects of industrial tax abatements on residential and commercial property value growth; (4) tax abatements offered in competitor communities do not appear to influence own industrial property value growth; and (5) changes in the own as well as competitor property tax rates are important determinants of industrial property value growth. However, the fiscal benefits of tax abatements are quite small as compared with the costs of offering abatements even when spillover benefits to residential and commercial properties are considered.     

First Things First: R2P Starts with Direct Negotiations

Abstract

Public debates on R2P one-sidedly focus on its forcible aspects. They should, however, also focus on R2P’s non-coercive aspects, which include the legal obligations to cooperate and to pursue peaceful conflict resolution, notably the obligation to undertake meaningful attempts at negotiation before coercive means are taken into consideration. After the Arab Spring erupted in Libya and Syria, other countries did not exhaust reasonable efforts to deal and negotiate with the incumbent powers, and to assist and encourage them to meet their obligations under R2P, even though negotiations are part and parcel of the R2P framework and constitute the very first step to be taken whenever a state seems to ignore its obligations under that framework.     

慢性乙醇中毒小鼠脑神经细胞IP3R1表达的变化

目的研究慢性乙醇中毒引起小鼠脑神经细胞Ⅰ型1,4,5-三磷酸肌醇受体（IP3R1）表达的变化。方法 40只小鼠随机分为90d、180d组,各组再分为正常对照组、10%、20%、30%乙醇组,每组5只,乙醇组给予相应浓度乙醇饮用至相应时间;取各组小鼠脑组织,分别采用免疫组化和Western blot方法检测脑皮质神经细胞IP3R1表达的变化;SPSS 13.0软件对实验数据进行单因素方差分析。结果正常IP3R1免疫组化染色物分布于神经细胞胞浆内。90d组随乙醇浓度的增加,IP3R1免疫组化阳性细胞数和阳性细胞率逐步增加,组间比较,差异显著（P〈0.05）;180d组中10%、20%乙醇组阳性细胞数和阳性细胞率逐步增加,组间比较,差异显著（P〈0.05）,而30%乙醇组阳性细胞数和阳性细胞率反而减少,且低于90d组的相同浓度组（P〈0.05）。Western blot与免疫组化检测结果基本一致。结论慢性乙醇中毒可引起小鼠大脑皮质神经细胞IP3R1表达增加,而高浓度（30%）、长时间（180d）乙醇使IP3R1表达降低,可能与神经细胞变性、坏死、数目减少有关。     

European political parties: A (timidly) rising actor in the EU political system

The Lisbon Treaty sets ambitious goals for the Union in the field of external relations, but makes limited changes in the pursuit of these goals. The role of the High Representative is reinforced and an External Action Service will be set up, but decisions on the common foreign and security policy are still to be taken by consensus. The Representative and the Service will seek to facilitate the emergence of such consensus and to increase the effectiveness of its external implementation. But this can only be a gradual process, the success of which will depend largely upon the continuing political will of the member states.
