论我国行政混合过错的理论建构与现实规制

行政混合过错具有实践的现实需求性与理论的研究滞后性，其诞生乃是民事混合过错模式在行政行为实践中融合之结果。要认定行政混合过错应当具备主体、事实、过错和对象四大要件。行政混合过错的理论模式化及理论适用是其实现现实功效的前提。我国当前可以通过司法解释的形式实现对行政混合过错的高成效、低成本规制。     

民事检察制度比较研究

检察官参与民事诉讼是各国检察制度中的一项重要内容,虽然因法律、制度的不同各具特点,但皆具有公益性、监督性、广泛性等相同共性.我国在修订民事诉讼法的过程中,应扩大民事检察职权.     

The Early Cold War and American Political Development: Reflections on Recent Research

This paper is a review essay of three books representing new research into the relationship between Cold War mobilization and postwar American political development: Michael Hogan, A Cross of Iron: Harry S. Truman and the Origins of the National Security State, 1945–1954 (Cambridge University Press, 1998); Guy Oakes, The Imaginary War: Civil Defense and American Cold War Culture (Oxford University Press, 1994); and Peter Trubowitz, Defining the National Interest: Conflict and Change in American Foreign Policy (University of Chicago Press, 1998).     

能源要素禀赋与俄罗斯产业结构初级化倾向研究

具有能源要素禀赋的俄罗斯借助国际油价大幅度上升的有利时机,扭转了经济长期衰退的颓势,并实现了经济的快速增长。但是由于能源产业在宏观经济中的地位不断提高,导致工业结构中产生了竞争力强的能源部门与竞争力弱的制造业部门并存的双重结构。同时,能源产品的出口具有绝对贸易比较优势。俄罗斯工业结构和出口产品结构过度倚重能源产业的局面,将可能使俄罗斯产业结构出现初级化特征,进而不利于俄罗斯提高产业结构水平。     

比较法与冲突法关系之重新厘定

在冲突法的发展中 ,比较法一直扮演着重要角色。它提供了外国法的信息 ,推动着冲突规范的起草并指引冲突规范的适用。但从方法论的角度来看 ,二者又存在着潜在的对抗。随着欧洲一体化进程的加快和基本权利地位的提升 ,它从根本上改变着比较法与冲突法的关系 ,并将其引向了一个更新、更高的平台。相比之下 ,美国冲突法的乡土观念却使得比较法与冲突法间的盟友关系在美国本土变得十分脆弱。只有加强比较研究 ,才能从根本上改变美国冲突法的这种“岛国心态”。     

CHILDREN'S RIGHTS IN EUROPEAN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS: WHY ARE FAMILY PRACTICES SO DIFFERENT FROM LEGAL THEORIES?

Debates about child custody following parental separation often have been framed in terms of a battle between the competing rights of different family members. In the United States, advocates of mothers’ rights square off against proponents of fathers’ rights, with each side claiming to truly represent children's rights. Of course, not all advocates lay claim to children's rights in contact and custody disputes merely as a tactical maneuver. Some experts believe that children are entitled to (and benefit from) their own, independent legal advocate in custody cases. In theory, at least, the position that children lay claim to a third set of independent rights is strongly held in Europe, more strongly than in many U.S. states, because of the adoption of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in Europe, but not in the United States. In this article, we examine children's rights in custody disputes from a European perspective, particularly children's legal right to contact with their parents, as well as the children's right to be heard in custody and contact disputes. We find that, despite differences in legal theory, tradition, and family demographics, European countries ultimately face a familiar reality: Custody and contact disputes are, in reality, more about renegotiating family relationships than they are a matter of a mother's, father's, or child's rights.     

规制的公共实施论评述

规制公共实施论是新比较经济学的一个热点研究领域。公共实施论的积极之处在于,强调对政府的中性态度,强调不同制度结构决定着规制实施能力的差别,强调从实施能力角度重新理解交易费用等,但在对规制的公共实施论的实践含义、认识含义与基本设定方面,却存在不可忽视的缺陷,文章就以上问题对公共实施论进行了较为全面的述评。     

比较法、因特网与法律趋同化

比较法具有无穷的魅力，可以促进法律和人类的进步。有学者认为比较法的目的是创建共同法，但这种观点过于理想化。将比较法的目的定位在促进法律趋同化是较为合理的。法律趋同化具有历史必然性，而比较法可以促进法律趋同化走势的加强。因特网为比较法研究提供了丰富的法律资料，使比较法得到了蓬勃发展，从而使法律趋同化走势达到了前所未有的高度。同时，因特网本身促进了各国文化的趋同，这从另一方面推动了法律的趋同化。     

The Effects of Women Officeholders on Environmental Policy

Studies show that women and girls consistently demonstrate higher levels of concern for the environment than men and boys. Separately, research also indicates that women officeholders pay particular attention to the issues prioritized by their female constituents. Interestingly, despite the consistency of the gender gap in attitudes to environmental issues the literature has paid scant attention to the role of women officeholders in the adoption of environmental policy. The goal of this paper was to start to address that lacuna. Using pooled cross‐sectional time series analyses of environmental standards in 18 Western parliamentary democracies (1990–2012), our initial findings indicate women officeholders are associated with the adoption of higher environmental standards.     

Venue Preference and Earthquake Mitigation Policy: Expanding the Micro‐Model of Policy Choice

Seismologists have reported that a majority of recent earthquakes in Oklahoma have been triggered by the activities of oil and gas companies. Despite this fact, there is evidence of strong opposition toward earthquake mitigation policy. In this article, we argue that how individuals define issues affect their policy choice. Furthermore, we incorporate the concept of venue shopping from the literature on macro theories of the policy process to investigate the effect of problem definition in shaping individual venue preference for policy choice. Using unique survey data, we find that problem definition, particularly issue causality and issue image, is strongly related to individual support for earthquake mitigation policy. However, a more nuanced relationship between individual problem definition and venue preference is observed. Our findings contribute to scholarly endeavors to understand the politics of problem definition at an individual level, which may be the precursor of understanding policy choices at the institutional level.
