论合同法定形式适用范围的扩张与限缩

从实证的角度来看,影响合同法定形式适用范围的因素主要包含标的物价值数额、标的物的性质、契约的性质、契约的履行时间以及公共政策。法律对于合同当事人缔约能力的关注是法定形式适用范围勃兴的基础。立法者应当在利益平衡的基础上,在方式自由和实质平等间寻找动态平衡点。     

By‐laws of I.A.I.

The launch of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) marks the most significant change to the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) since it was launched in 2004. In the wake of the Georgia war in August 2008 and yet another gas crisis in January 2009, the EU clearly needs a more constructive policy towards Eastern Europe. But both the ENP and EaP are based on a contradiction. They offer only the remotest possibility of eventual accession to the EU, but are still based on “accession-light” assumptions, applying the conditionality model of the 1990s to weak states that are a long way from meeting the Copenhagen criteria. The priority in the eastern neighbourhood is not building potential members states but strengthening sovereignty, in the face of an increasingly assertive Russian neighbourhood policy. The game is playing the west off against Russia for geopolitical reward.     

经济法调整方法之经济奖励法

经济法作为介于公法与私法之间的＂第三法域＂,不仅有着独特的调整对象,而且与其调整对象相适应,也存在独特的调整方法,即更加注重非强制性调整方法的运用,充分合理利用市场主体＂经济人＂本性,实现国家宏观调控目标。本文对经济法调整方法框架内的经济奖励方法进行尝试性研究,从而为经济法调整方法的丰富完善做出有益的探讨。     

经济结构理论研究的回顾与思考

推进经济结构战略性调整,是加快转变经济发展方式的主攻方向。为了完成这项任务,需要深入研究经济结构理论,掌握经济结构演变的规律。我国系统研究经济结构是从上世纪七十年代末八十年代初开始的。研究经济结构既要研究生产关系结构,也要研究生产力结构,要在它们的协调统一中深化对经济结构及其比例关系的认识;我国经济结构不合理是和盲目追求高速度联系在一起的,所以还应深入研究经济增长、经济结构和经济效果三者的关系,应深入探索经济结构合理化的标志和途径。当前推进经济结构战略性调整,应根据提高质量和效益的要求来确定合理的增长速度,应把经济增长、经济结构、经济体制、经济管理、经济效益、社会效益、生态效益统一起来,不断克服经济社会发展中不协调、不平衡、不可持续的突出问题,实现经济社会生态全面协调可持续发展。     

The contribution of Archie Mafeje to the debate on land reform in Africa

ABSTRACT

This article situates the election of Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States of America within the current global political economy. It examines the major tenets of neo-liberalism, the founding ideology of this economy, and the policies by which neo-liberal ideology targeted and achieved a diminution of global state authority concomitant with a rise of market sovereignty. The consequences have been disastrous for the evolution of constitutional democracy and are at the root of the current economic crisis. As a critical factor that propelled Barack Obama's election, this article argues that Obama's presidency may offer a turning point away from a neo-liberal ideology and towards a strengthened commitment to constitutional democracy.     

论东北老工业基地振兴中的民生与社会和谐向度

作为社会主义社会本质属性的"社会和谐",指的就是社会诸矛盾以及矛盾的诸方面之间,在一定的、具体的社会历史条件下因相互依存、相互融合所达到的矛盾化解状态。"民生",指的则是普通民众或百姓的生存与生活。"民生"与"社会和谐"之间具有重要的关联性,民生问题的凸显正是社会不和谐的一个重要方面,而民生问题的解决则是构建和谐社会的关键。东北地区社会和谐的构建,往往取决于能否切实解决普遍性的和特殊性的民生问题。不过,在解决东北老工业基地民生问题的时候,重中之重是一定要结合东北地区自身的区位优势来兴办实业,广开就业渠道。从某种意义上来讲,能否发挥出地域特色来兴办实业,是解决东北地区民生问题和构建社会和谐的关键。     

THE DIVIDED WORLD OF THE CHILD: DIVORCE AND LONG‐TERM PSYCHOSOCIAL ADJUSTMENT

This study evaluated the extent to which divorce creates the “divided world of the child,” as well as consequences of this “divided world” for long‐term adjustment. An ethnically diverse sample of 1,375 young‐adult university students completed retrospective measures of parental nurturance and involvement, and current measures of psychosocial adjustment and troubled ruminations about parents. Results indicated that reports of maternal and paternal nurturance and involvement were closely related in intact families but uncorrelated in divorced families. Across family forms, the total amount of nurturance or involvement received was positively associated with self‐esteem, purpose in life, life satisfaction, friendship quality and satisfaction, and academic performance; and negatively related to distress, romantic relationship problems, and troubled ruminations about parents. Mother‐father differences in nurturance and involvement showed a largely opposite set of relationships. Implications for family court practices are discussed.     

政府干预与市场调节之间的重新平衡——金融危机责任费的经济法反思与启示

政府救助金融危机容易引发市场主体的道德风险,如何在政府与市场主体之间重新分配责任,以纠正因政府救助所致的政府干预与市场调节之间的失衡,是后金融危机时代法律关注的重点。对大型的金融机构征收金融危机责任费,让其最终承担起政府救助成本有助于恢复政府与市场之间的平衡。金融危机责任费对市场主体权利义务的重新调整与责任的重新分配,突破了传统的法律责任理论,具有明显的社会性和身份性;而金融风险的外部性、大型金融机构与中小金融机构之间的不平等风险地位是金融危机责任费的风险根源。此外,它对于完善我国金融法制建设也具有重要的启示意义。     

企业文化建设的理论反思

建设中国特色社会主义企业文化,要以“三个代表”重要思想为指导,立足于中国加入WTO后所面临的机遇与挑战,围绕“以人为中心”,坚持借鉴、发展和创新的原则。同时,还要关注企业文化建设中企业内部利益关系的调整问题。     

Coping with Imprisonment: Testing the Special Sensitivity Hypothesis for White-Collar Offenders

This study uses nationally representative prison data to test two competing theories of how white-collar offenders experience prison. The first perspective, referred to as the special sensitivity hypothesis, assumes that because of their social and demographic background characteristics white-collar offenders are more susceptible to the pains of imprisonment than other inmates. The second perspective, referred to as the special resiliency hypothesis, is based on the idea that these same background characteristics may reduce the pains of imprisonment for white-collar offenders. Ordinal and binary logistic regression models are used to estimate the effect of white-collar inmate status on several indicators of psychological adjustment. The current study finds partial support for the special resiliency hypothesis, but not the special sensitivity hypothesis. The results for each outcome are discussed regarding both theoretical and practical applications. The study’s limitations are also addressed and suggestions for future research on incarcerated white-collar offenders are given.
