关于在反贪侦查阶段律师会见问题的几点看法

对于一般性的职务犯罪案件,新刑事诉讼法规定辩护律师在侦查阶段会见犯罪嫌疑人不再需要经过侦查机关的批准,这无疑是立法的一大进步,不仅有利于保障犯罪嫌疑人的合法权益,更有利于规范侦查权的健康运行。但是司法实践中,"会见难"的老问题仍未得到根本的解决,为了严格地执行法律,有必要对造成这种结果的原因进行深入分析,以期通过有效的途径来解决这一问题。     

美国公设辩护人制度及其对我国的启示——兼论我国公设辩护人制度的构建

美国是目前刑事法律援助运作最有效率的国家之一，其健全的刑事法律援助制度为美国刑事案件的法律援助工作开展提供了强有力的保障，特别是公设辩护人制度，作为美国刑事法律援助的重要手段，为实现经济困难的被告人的辩护权提供了切实保障。在评介美国刑事法律援助体系之公设辩护人制度的基础上，结合我国现有的刑事法律援助体系，构建我国公设辩护人制度，将其作为我国刑事法律援助手段之一，实行多元化的刑事法律援助制度，使我国的刑事法律援助事业变得真实有效，进一步完善我国司法保障体系。

农民工市民化之政府责任探析

农民工市民化问题是我国城市化战略的重要一环,就现在而言,农民工面临着收入低、就业难、治病贵等一系列问题,因而政府作为城市治理主导者,应该在解决农民工问题上负起相应的责任,发挥该有的作用,积极深化制度改革,转变管理模式,更好地促进农民工市民化进程。     

落实《老年法》之政策支持探究简

新的《老年人权益保障法》是一部关系数以亿计的社会老年成员在保证晚年阶段生活质量的重要法律，但如果没有各级政府制定和完善的政策支持，该法律的相关条款则势必难以落到实处。因此，“精神赡养”、“就近居住”等条款，需要政府配套劳动、就业政策的支持；建立“长期护理保障”制度，政府需拿出符合中国国情的方案；构建新的养老服务体系，重点应完善养老机构的布局与建设；老年人宜居环境应不止于公共设施，还包括住宅设计、社区服务环境建设等；鼓励老年人“参与社会发展”，需要改革退休政策、防止就业歧视。     

人民法院实施未成年人轻罪犯罪记录封存制度的实践探索

新《刑事诉讼法》正式以法律形式确立了未成年人轻罪犯罪记录封存制度，这是我国未成年人刑事司法制度的重大发展，对未成年犯的复学、升学、就业以及顺利回归社会具有重要意义。但是，具体操作规则和司法实践经验的缺乏，不利于该制度的科学、规范实施。对未成年人权益进行全面保护，使其成为一个普通的社会人，是该制度的价值追求，必须贯穿于该制度实施的整个过程中。由人民法院制作并发送《未成年人轻罪犯罪记录封存决定书》，表面上看是一道法律规定之外的额外程序，但在制度建立之初，有利于制度的全面、正确实施。     

刑事诉讼中精神病鉴定启动程序改革的实证分析

实践调查证明,当事人启动模式并非解决当前精神病鉴定启动程序中存在问题的直接药方.其现实路径是在现有专门机关启动的模式基础上加以适当的改革:一是在死刑案件中,建议实行准强制鉴定；二是对于普通刑事案件,保留并完善现行的公安司法机关委托鉴定模式,暂不赋予当事人初次委托鉴定的权利；三是应当明确规定公安司法机关决定是否启动精神病鉴定的标准和证明责任.     

对我国证人出庭作证制度的几点思考——兼评《刑事诉讼法修正案(草案)》

《刑事诉讼法修正案(草案)》明确了证人在特定情形下出庭作证的义务、赋予了法院强制证人出庭作证的权力,并从人身安全保障和经济利益补偿等方面完善了证人的相关权利,这对于缓解我国证人出庭作证难问题而言无疑具有重要的意义。然而,《草案》中的一些条文还存在着规定较为模糊、可操作性不强、不够科学合理等缺陷,因此在肯定其进步意义的同时,有必要结合实践中遇到的问题,对其存在的不足之处展开探讨和思考。     

Security Identities and ‘No More,No Less’ Operations: On Making NATO's Involvement in Darfur Possible

This article explores NATO's support mission to the African Union's peacekeeping operation in Darfur, Sudan between 2005 and 2007. NATO policies are commonly presented as functional responses to events, but how did a conflict on the African continent become the Atlantic Alliance's business? In this essay, a poststructuralist practice-oriented approach is used to understand the way in which discursive practices progressively establish a policy option as ‘natural' in a given situation. It is argued that the normalization of NATO's support mission to the African Union in Darfur and the integration of this operation in NATO's security identity were the result of complex and conflict-ridden social interactions between different discursive practices supported by different actors.     

Production goes global,compliance stays local: Private regulation in the global electronics industry

Poor working conditions in global supply chains have led to private initiatives that seek to regulate labor practices in developing countries. But how effective are these regulatory programs? We investigate the effects of transnational private regulation by studying Hewlett‐Packard's (HP) supplier responsibility program. Using analysis of factory audits, interviews with buyer and supplier management, and field research at production facilities across seven countries, we find that national context – not repeated audits, capability building, or supply chain power – is the key predictor of workplace compliance. Quantitative analysis shows that factories in China are markedly less compliant than those in countries with stronger civil society and regulatory institutions. Comparative field research then illustrates how these local institutions complement transnational private regulation. Although these findings imply limits to private regulation in institutionally poor settings, they also highlight opportunities for productive linkages between transnational actors and local state and society.
