Observing protest: media use and student involvement on 7 April 2010 in Bishkek,Kyrgyzstan

Individuals in and around protests are generally classified as either participants or nonparticipants. However, observers witnessing protests can also play an important role in collective actions by sharing their experiences. This paper explores the characteristics of observers during the 7 April 2010 demonstrations in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Based on data collected via a survey of university students, I demonstrate that protest observers differed from nonparticipants on a range of variables. A key factor differentiating student observers from nonparticipants was their online activity prior to the protests. Logistic regressions show that students with higher rates of online activity were significantly and substantially more likely to be protest observers than nonparticipants. These findings provide empirical evidence for categorizing observation as a distinct level of protest involvement, shed light on the demonstration in Bishkek on 7 April 2010, and suggest that examining online activity can contribute to a better understanding of protest involvement levels.     

论我国侵权法中侵害债权类型化之必要性——以一起企业产权纠纷案为例

侵害合同债权属于侵权行为中的“侵权之债”，“合同债权”受到侵犯应当从“侵权法”角度寻找法律基础。从一起“一企二卖”的企业产权纠纷案件可看出，我国目前侵权行为方面的规定太概括，不够明确，造成适用困难，侵害合同债权的侵权行为类型化是我国侵权法立法的必由之路。     

交通肇事罪若干问题探索——基于对一个案例的分析

交通肇事罪是行政犯罪，必须以行为违反行政法律、承担行政责任为前提。行为人构成交通肇事罪除了承担行政责任外，还需要具备其他条件。执法部门在适用刑法第133条“交通运输肇事后逃选”规定时，必须注意交通事故责任认定的“逃逸”与刑法意义的“逃逸”是两种本质不同的行为，同时不能违反“同一行为禁止重复评价”的原则。     

论服务行政条件下的行政私法行为

行政私法行为是行政机关于服务行政条件下所采取的一种行为方式,它属于国库行政的一种特殊形式。就行政私法行为的性质而言,它既不绝对地是一种公法行为,也不绝对地是一种私法行为,而是新形势下出现的一种兼具公法、私法双重属性的行为。对行政私法行为的法律调整,应该坚持公法优先、兼顾私法的准则。     

“I WANT MY MOMMIES”: THE CRY FOR MINI‐DOMAS TO RECOGNIZE THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN OF SAME‐SEX COUPLES*

In child custody cases, courts will look to the best interests of a child to maintain visitation/custody rights only with the child's biological parent, not third parties. However, with a same‐sex couple, it is inevitable that one parent will not be the biological parent. Thus, when that parent is in a mini‐DOMA state, where same‐sex couples from non‐mini‐DOMA states do not have to be recognized, that parent will be viewed as a third party and lose all visitation/custody rights if the couple separates. This note advocates that mini‐DOMAs allow both the biological and nonbiological parents of a same‐sex couple to have visitation/custody rights of their children if it would be in the best interest of the children to do so.     

行政许可法描绘我国现代法治政府的基本框架

当前,我国正处于改革的攻坚阶段,特别是行政体制的改革,更是倍受关注。《行政许可法》的出台和实施,为我国行政管理体制的改革指明了正确的方向,建立现代法治政府已成为刻不容缓的必需。现代法制政府应当是有限的、规则导向型的、透明的、讲诚信的、负责任的、高效的、便民的政府。     

股东大会决议瑕疵的救济

股东大会决议瑕疵存在于程序和内容两个方面,瑕疵股东大会决议的效力分为决议不存在、决议可撤销和决议无效三种情形。瑕疵决议可以寻求全体股东的一致同意、决议的撤回和追认等多种方式得到补救。但对瑕疵决议的效力,只能以诉的方式主张;对瑕疵决议的裁判方式和效力有特殊性,应防止撤销之诉的滥用。我国《公司法》第111条缺失瑕疵股东大会决议的效力评价体系,应予改革和完善。

行政指导的权力性——比较法和社会学意义上的考察

传统观点认为,行政指导是一种非权力行为,这一定论形成的深层次原因是日本法学从德国继受而来的分析法学传统。但通过社会实证分析,就会发现“事实上的强制力”和“给予好处”等保障机制使行政指导至少在一定范围内带有权力色彩,这也正是各国特别是日本加强对行政指导的法律控制的认识论基础。“非权力行为”的定性与高强度法律控制之间出现的悖论导源于两种方法论基础的冲突。
