经济发展权与环境权的冲突与协调

随着我国经济的高速发展,环境污染日益严重,许多环境污染事件相继出现,环境与经济发展的问题亟待解决。为此,在法律领域需要认识与协调经济发展权与环境权的对立统一关系。两者的冲突来源于人们对自然环境资源的利益需求的不同,环境权聚焦于环境资源的生态价值,经济发展权聚焦于环境资源的经济价值。协调环境权与经济发展权的基本思路是:在发展中解决环境问题,并通过制度化的途径协调冲突,实现可持续发展。

日本环境产业的发展

环境产业是改善环境和保证经济社会可持续发展的物质技术条件,也是促进日本经济与环境协调发展和激活其地区活力的强大动力.目前,日本的环境产业已从少数产业部门扩展到几乎所有产业部门,未来将同汽车业和建筑业并驾齐驱,成为支撑日本经济发展的主导支柱产业之一.促进日本环境产业发展的主要因素是,强化环境法规的限制,推动经济政策的绿色化,完善企业的环境管理和发展绿色消费.     

环境刑法的伦理基础

在环境伦理学中,对于人与自然的关系主要存在人类中心主义、动物解放/权利论、生物平等主义和生态中心主义四种学说。其中,现代人类中心主义是一种最低性的道德标准,可以作为环境刑法的伦理基础。从现代人类中心主义的角度审视环境犯罪,可以发现:环境犯罪是对当代人和未来世代人利益的侵犯,其社会危害性并不仅仅体现为经济价值,环境犯罪正在向一种自然犯罪演化。

论环境新闻传播对社会发展的功能

环境新闻具有广泛性、冲突性、刺激性、相关性、复杂性等特性,对社会发展起着不可替代的积极影响。环境新闻的社会功能主要体现在扩大认知视野、守卫环境生态、增强情感交流、提高思想教育、凸显经济价值、产生审美愉悦等方面。我国的环境报道在重视长期效应、拓展题材领域、强调内容科学等方面都还存有不足,尚待改进提升,以更好地发挥其应有的作用。     

The legal regime for application of the precautionary principle in India: future directions for the GM regulatory regime

The precautionary principle is one of the most contentious principles in contemporary international legal developments. The very fact that it is a principle of international environmental law has been questioned by many legal scholars. However, this does not take away the fact that the precautionary principle continues to be applied widely across sectors both internationally and nationally. The nature and scope of its application has varied widely according to the context and sector within which it has been applied. The central issue which this article seeks to address is the regulatory and the policy making space that is available to the Government of India in the context of the obligations as undertaken under the Cartagena Protocol and under various other international treaties. The regulatory space would also be affected by the domestic legal developments across sectors in which the principle has been applied. India’s recent decision on the large-scale commercialisation of Bt-Cotton has already created much debate regarding its appropriateness given the realities of Indian farm practices. More specifically, it has also led to a rethinking of the role and application of the precautionary principle in addressing these realities. Considering that the Indian policy on biotechnology is currently being drafted, it is important to look into the scope of applying the precautionary principle in taking any decision on genetically modified organisms (GMO) in terms of their distribution of risks, incorporating the social and equity impacts of such decisions.

环境污染、集体抗争与行动机制：以长三角地区为例

长三角地区环境污染引发的集体抗争事件说明,任何一种抗争事件的发生不仅包含内在机理：道义先占、利益影响、行动联盟和政治机会结构,还包括行动机制：触发机制、动员机制、扩散机制和回应机制。抗争事件将政府卷入其中,考验政府预防和化解此类事件的能力。政府可以从事件发生的基础性机理和情境性机制的不同环节人手,建构一套治理集体抗争事件的完整有效的框架模式。     

Environmental crime prosecutions in Ireland, 2004–2014

Despite increased interest in environmental crime and green criminology, few studies address the use of criminal penalties in response to environmental crimes. A handful of published examples employ data from the United States or the Flanders court system, and little is known about how other nations punish environmental violations. Addressing this issue, the current study examined the use of criminal environmental penalties in Ireland from 2004 to 2014. Few criminal environmental cases (N = 147) and few environmental offenders (N = 154) were represented in these data over time. Consistent with the expectations of green/environmental crime researchers, mean penalties for environmental violations, which in Ireland only include fines and investigative cost recovery penalties, were rather small. Unlike in the US or Flanders, the majority of offenders were corporate offenders as opposed to individuals. Contextual factors related to Ireland’s economy, history and use of criminal sanctions should be used to interpret these factors, and prevent generalising from these data.     

Understanding Regulatory Governance in Northeast Asia: Environmental and Technological Cooperation among China,Japan and Korea

After the early 1990s, the wave of regionalism covered broader areas in the world, and Northeast Asia, which had weak regional cohesion largely due to history-oriented animosity, gradually developed initiatives for regional cooperation since the late 1990s. This article seeks to address why and how China, Japan, and South Korea have pursued regional cooperation by relying on the concept of ‘regional governance’. It advances two arguments. First, the governments of China, Japan, and South Korea have identified the avoidance of risk from uncertainty as a major objective of promoting trilateral cooperation in specific functional areas. Second, they have gradually intensified the harmonisation of regulatory frameworks in the cooperative process in collaboration with non-state actors. The article examines the arguments by tracing the evolution of trilateral cooperation in environmental protection and information technology (IT) development.
