民主的蝴蝶：一个权力分享的角度

权力是政治的最核心的本质要素,也构成民主理论研究的基本视角.从这一角度出发,民主政治最根本的诉求是对权力的分享.本文通过回顾民主理论的历史演进与嬗变,探讨了民主的原初定义、民主与共和的融合以及民主技术化的制度实现路径,提出以科学民主理论为指导,为中国本土化的民主政治发展注入新的活力.     

《刑法修正案(七)》第13条之解读

《刑法修正案(七)》第13条的规定可以概括为两个罪名,即"密切关系人受贿罪"和"离职国家工作人员受贿罪"。"密切关系人"包括国家工作人员和离职国家工作人员的近亲属以及其他与之关系密切的人,其范围比"特定关系人"要广,除了近亲属、情妇(夫)和有共同利益的人之外,还可以是同学、老乡、同事、战友、朋友等。其实质在于,行为人基于与国家工作人员的这种关系,能够或者足以影响该国家工作人员或者其他国家工作人员,进而通过该国家工作人员或者其他国家工作人员职务上的行为,为请托人谋取利益,实现与请托人之间的权钱交易行为。由于近亲属等密切关系人和离职国家工作人员既可以构成受贿罪的共犯,也可以独立构成密切关系人受贿罪与离职国家工作人员受贿罪,因此,要将其与斡旋受贿、共同受贿等行为相区别。     

从宪政视角看罗马共和时期的立法、司法与行政

从现代宪政视角考察罗马共和时期的立法、司法和行政,认为罗马共和不仅存在三大机构(官僚体系、元老院和公民大会)的权力制衡,同时在立法、司法和行政上也存在权力制衡.不过三者在不同时期权重有所不同.     

Motivation and Intervention in the Northern Ireland Peace Process: An Interview with President Bill Clinton

The role of former U.S. President William Jefferson Clinton in the Northern Ireland peace process has been acknowledged as an example of political risk‐taking and leadership driven by political interests and strategic post–Cold War aims. The tendency to examine Clinton's role from the perspective of international and global policy objectives, however, has obscured consideration of his motivational role in the Northern Ireland peace process and of how he moved between encouragement and intervention to help the political parties reach a settlement. This article, which is drawn from an extended interview conducted with Clinton in 2017, seeks to paint a more comprehensive picture of Clinton's participation in the peace process, showing how his combination of motivational and interventional skills enabled him to help convince others of the need to take risks for peace and gave him greater influence and leverage over the peace process as a result.     

Think Tank Involvement in Foreign Policymaking in the Czech Republic and Poland

Studies on foreign policy think tanks have too often remained disconnected from the analysis of foreign policy outcomes. Yet, investigating the development, functions and influence of think tanks can provide valuable insights into the context in which foreign policy is formulated. The Czech Republic and Poland represent interesting comparative cases in this regard: while Polish think tanks are more numerous and tend to be better placed in international rankings, they are less involved in the policymaking process than their Czech counterparts. This contrast has mainly to do with the sociology of foreign policy elites and the role of political parties in both countries.     

《中华民国临时约法》的主要缺陷

《中华民国临时约法》拉开了中国近代民主宪政的序幕 ,但历经十余载而归于失败。其失败的原因 ,除了当时政治环境的不利影响以及广大民众的民主意识低下外 ,临时约法本身的缺陷 ,如制定缺乏代表性、行政权力划分与现实政治状况相悖离、权力划分混乱等 ,也是导致其失败的重要原因。临时约法的缺陷及其失败 ,充分昭示了中国从传统专制国家向近代民主国家过渡的进程中所遇到的种种困难。     

《社会保险法》与工会的关系探析

《中华人民共和国社会保险法》确立了我国社会保险体系的基本框架,并规定养老、医疗、失业保险随身转移,养老保险缴费不满十五年妥善解决,医疗保险和工伤保险基金先行支付。这是一部切实保障职工社会保险权益的根本大法,对工会组织更好地维护广大职工的合法权益提出了新的、更高的要求。在《社会保险法》贯彻实施中,工会组织要密切关注社会保险制度的建立和完善,在参与、履行和监督中,依法维护职工群众的合法权益。     

柏拉图妇女观管窥

柏拉图的著名论著<理想国>前5章中关于妇女问题的论述,已基本具有男女平等的思想萌芽.他认为,男女应受同等教育;男女可担任同样的职务;男女在食、宿、行、子女等方面,享有同等权利,男女均不可拥有私有财产;爱情与婚姻上反对放纵、淫乱.即使在今天,他的这些观点和看法,也是符合科学根据和具有进步意义的.但是,柏拉图毕竟是唯心主义哲学家,他的妇女观还有严重的缺陷.     

Broadening ‘business’, widening ‘peace’: a new research agenda on business and peace-building

ABSTRACT

What role does business play in peace-building and conflict reduction? This special issue tackles this complex question, exploring varied business efforts to bring peace through six rigorous qualitative cases in Myanmar, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Somaliland, Brazil, Guatemala and El Salvador. Three main findings cut across this issue. First, local context is paramount to success; there is no one universal formula that a regulator, business or peace practitioner aiming to advance a business agenda for peace can employ for operational success. Second, rather than compartmentalising ‘peace’ into projects that often carry ‘win-lose’ consequences for local communities, business-peace projects must first understand who they are empowering so that they do not unwittingly make the conflict worse. Third, investment and access are deeply intertwined in fragile and conflict-affected areas, and business-peace projects that simply try to improve business access typically exacerbate inequalities favouring elite actors. We close with a discussion on how to take the business and peace-building agenda forward with scholarship and policy, stressing that business-peace projects must be assessed at the societal and not project level if their impact is to be truly beneficial for a political economy of peaceful development.
