中国引入辩诉交易制度的三重障碍

辩诉交易制度的基本机能在于规避诉讼风险,同时也有助于提高诉讼效率。但是,从背景来看,辩诉交易制度本质上是一项内生于英美对抗式诉讼模式的制度设计,其运行依赖于对抗式诉讼制度以及契约文化和实用主义的哲学观念,在我国引入辩诉交易制度应当要慎重。     

构建中国认罪协商制度研究

台湾地区的认罪协商制度有别于西方国家的“辩诉交易”,它独具特色,在许多方面值得我们借鉴。在中国当下,建立认罪协商制度不仅必要,而且可行。中国未来的认罪协商制度,应当在认罪协商的适用范围、认罪协商的内容、认罪协商的主体、认罪协商的程序、认罪协商的救济措施等方面作出科学、合理的构建,并建立起认罪协商制度的保障与监督机制。     

Industrial relations strategy and construction in the UK oil industry: the case of the national agreement

Abstract

This paper is a case study chronicling and analyzing the strategic considerations given to industrial relations in a proposal to upgrade and renew a major production unit in a UK oil refinery. The study is based on interviews and substantial internal documents provided by the case study managers. This represents a unique illustration as to the extent a company goes through in considering the way in which a major capital project needs to consider industrial relations issues before being considered acceptable to the Corporate-level audience and its decision-makers. In particular, the context is interesting – that of an American multinational taking up a national agreement from a process of sector-wide multi-employer bargaining.     

Labor conflicts in the Toronto construction industry, 1968–1973. A crossroads of ethnic issues,business innovations,class struggle,and union action

ABSTRACT

This article concerns a case study in labor history which represents an interesting example of union action in a workers’ community characterized by intersections between ethnic and class belonging.

The focus of the article is on labor conflicts in Toronto’s construction industry between 1968 and 1973. In that period, the Torontonian residential sector represented a sort of ethnic niche dominated by Italian immigrants, who populated this industry both as workers and as contractors. At the same time, important economic, technological, and organizational innovations formed part of this niche. In particular, it refers to the new Toronto real estate boom and to the introduction of new building techniques such as the drywall technique, or concrete forming, as well as business innovations such as the flying form or the creation of teamwork. This article tells the story of successful unionization in a peculiar industry dominated by continuous formal and informal bargaining. Moreover, the powerful presence of the phenomenon of mafiosi and widespread racism made the context still more difficult. In this situation, despite the ambiguities, the final result was the unionization of thousands of workers and the successful signing of collective contracts.     

论显失公平的民事行为

不论是在《民法通则》中 ,还是在《合同法》中 ,均将显失公平规定为民事法律关系中当事人可以行使变更或撤销申请权的法定情形之一。构成显失公平民事行为的情形共有两种 :一是一方当事人利用优势 ;二是一方当事人利用对方没有经验。笔者针对这两种情况进行了分析并提出了一些看法与建议。     

The Ethics of Plea Bargaining in International Criminal Trials

The paper argues that contemporary theoretical and philosophical concerns relating to the practice of plea bargaining in international trials for crimes such as genocide should be seen in the broader context of the perceived legitimacy of international trial justice. The paper questions the capacity of international trial structures to deliver a form of truth which contributes to justice suggesting that the legitimacy of the truth available is conditioned by ideology and normative practice. The paper suggests that the key to transforming international trial justice lies in promoting the link between trial ideology and the perceived moral legitimacy of its outcomes through the exercise of judicial discretionary power.

VARIATION IN TRIAL PENALTIES AMONG SERIOUS VIOLENT OFFENSES*

We examine the differences in the sentencing of those who plead guilty and those convicted by jury trial among defendants convicted of serious violent offenses. Drawing from a focal concerns and court communities perspective on court decision making, we develop several hypotheses about jury trial penalties for serious violent offenders, and how such penalties may vary by offense characteristics, defendant characteristics, and court contexts. Our hierarchical models using Pennsylvania sentencing data from 1997 to 2000 reveal that defendants are substantially penalized if they exercise their right to a jury trial and then lose. Furthermore, this jury trial penalty is not evenly assessed, but depends on the seriousness and type of offense, defendant criminal history, and court contextual characteristics such as caseload, court community size, local violent crime rates, and the size of local black populations.     

Unintended Consequences: Implications of the 2014 Australian Defence Force Pay Deal

The Workplace Remuneration Arrangement agreed between the Australian Government and the Australian Defence Force (ADF) provides for a 4.5% pay over 3 years for ADF personnel. This article makes use of the concept of the psychological contract to argue that this pay deal represents a breach of the Australian Government's obligations towards ADF personnel that is likely to have unintended consequences for their long‐term commitment to their ADF careers.     

The Coase Theorem, Private Information, and the Benefits of Not Assigning Property Rights

Using a simple bilateral trading example with discrete valuations and costs it is demonstrated that in the presence of private information the efficiency of Coasean bargaining may be strictly enhanced if initially no property rights are assigned.     

受贿罪相关问题探析——以受贿罪的交易性本质为视角

受贿罪的本质在于行贿方与受贿方之间的交易性.从交易性的本质出发,只要具有一般性和经常性权钱交易条件的主体都可以构成受贿罪;"利用职务上的便利"是指受贿人本人拥有的对行贿人利益予以制约并可以交易的一种社会关系;"为他人谋取利益"作为客观要件,是交易性内容的应有之义,在构成要件中应该删去:贿赂的内容,包括非财产性利益在内的所有不正当利益.
