商业贿赂的界定与刑法的制度契合

商业贿赂已成为危害社会主义市场经济的毒瘤,也侵蚀了国家廉政制度体系,亟待刑事法律的规制。鉴于商业贿赂的内涵与外延尚需理论与实践的进一步界定,刑法应以修正和完善贿赂犯罪的相关构成要件作为制度契合的主要方式,以此积极响应反商业贿赂的迫切形势。

The policy scientist of democracy revisited

A recent appraisal by Farr et al. (Am Polit Sci Rev 100:579–587 2006) credited Lasswell with raising important questions of professional responsibility for political science. However, the appraisal rejected working answers to those questions offered by Lasswell and his colleagues without considering them substantively or comprehensively. In doing so, the appraisal misleads those academics in political science and other disciplines who may be interested in a genuinely professional role for themselves, a role that takes into account the social consequences of the exercise of their knowledge and skills. This article provides a more authentic introduction to Lasswell’s life and work and vision of the policy scientist of democracy, and suggests some alternatives for would-be professionals.

Fiscal institutions of Brazilian municipal borrowing

In an effort to understand subnational borrowing, this article explores how three Brazilian institutions—the 1988 Constitution which mandates revenue and expenditure assignments among the levels of the federation; the national Law of Fiscal Responsibility, which imposes expenditure and debt limitations on all levels and branches of government; and various borrowing arrangements—affect the municipal borrowing environment. These institutions are examined in light of de Mello's (2001) policy recommendations for strengthening efficiency and fiscal discipline in subnational borrowing. The institutions of Brazilian borrowing were found to have some of de Mello's recommendations, with the new Constitution and the Law of Fiscal Responsibility making progress towards increased fiscal responsibility, but the current borrowing arrangements serving to maintain a controlled system that is not conducive to responsible municipal borrowing. Several recommendations are made to improve the borrowing environment and foster fiscal discipline and efficiency Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

透视刑事和解制度——以刑罚个别化为视角

从刑罚个别化的视角审视刑事和解制度,应赋予公安机关一定的实体处理权,扩大检察机关的起诉裁量权,并把当事人达成和解规定为法定量刑情节,以扩大刑事和解制度的适用范围和形式。

刑事非法证据排除规则配套机制的完善

随着我国民主和法制建设的发展,确立刑事非法证据排除规则已成为必然。但只仅仅确立刑事非法证据排除规则还不够,还需要在立足于国情、吸收和借鉴其他国家和地区成功经验的基础上,完善刑事非法证据排除规则的配套机制。     

刑事程序正义与人权保护

刑事诉讼程序的完善是我国刑事司法改革的一个重要环节,程序正义更是重中之重。但从程序正义角度来审视我国当前的刑事诉讼程序,可以发现其中存在着诸多问题。因此,应当从无罪推定、沉默权、律师介入诉讼等方面尽快完善我国的刑事诉讼程序,更好地保障人权。
