论民法上的公共利益

公共利益不是纯粹抽象的事物，它是客观具体的，未来的民法典必须对其进行明确界定，如此，才能更好地实现其“公私财产平等保护”的立法宗旨。民法上的公共利益之主体应为社会公众，公共物品及公共服务是公共利益的主要表现形式。     

以高水准的字体形象塑造优秀的商品形象--浅谈文字在包装设计中的运用

商品包装的好与坏直接影响到了商品的形象和档次。包装中文字的编排处理是形成包装形象的一大重要因素，其表现能力在于不仅起了介绍商品、准确传达商品信息的作用，而且还具有美化商品、提高商品形式美的艺术属性。作者在文中通过分析现今市场的各类包装设计，详细阐述了如何用高水准的字体形象塑造优秀的商品形象。     

论公共需求与中国经济增长

需求结构的不合理是制约中国经济增长的一个重要原因,因而有必要对需求结构不合理原因作进一步的分析.现阶段在若干领域的需求过于旺盛所导致的经济过热的内在机制,是政府的片面政绩冲动和企业的盲目利润冲动,其后果是导致了需求结构的不合理.在产生大量无效供给的前提下,我国公共产品的有效供给却长期不足,人民的需求得不到应有的满足.随着经济市场化的深入和社会公共需求的日益增长,需要政府提供更优质、更全面的公共产品.因此,及时调整现有的宏观经济政策导向,加快制度创新,强化政府提供公共产品的职能,以满足公众对公共产品的有效需求,应成为我国治理现阶段经济过热的新思路.     

走私制毒物品罪立法的缺陷与完善

现行刑法的走私制毒物品罪是从先前的《关于禁毒的决定》承继而来,较之先前的立法作了较大的改善。但遗憾的是,它仍然在罪名、罪状以及刑罚的设置上留有一些立法的缺陷,而学界对此鲜有论述。不完善的刑法规定只是我们注释刑法学的出发点,但它不应成为科学的理论刑法学研究的归宿。     

公共产品法律调整模式分析

公共产品经济是一个与私人产品经济不同的领域,有其独特的性质、供给机制与消费特征,市场机制不能正常发挥作用,需要国家经济权力在此进行强有力的干预,由此产生的各类经济关系需要法律的有效调整。公共产品法律调整在调整对象、价值取向、调整原则及调整方式上的特点使其在法律调整模式选择上超越民商法、行政法等而与经济法形成价值基准与方法论的对接,对公共产品进行经济法审视对经济转型时期的中国具有重要的理论与现实意义。     

国门安全治理的跨界性：双层跨域治理框架

国门安全是指口岸监管部门在进出境口岸通过履行其法定职能和被授权执行的法律法规所维护的国家安全和国家利益没有危险、不受威胁的状态以及在进出境环节维护国家安全的能力。国门安全不仅是国家安全的组成部分,也是保障国家其他方面安全及整个国家安全的重要屏障。国门安全是一种国际性的国内安全,具有跨境性与弥散性、动态性与线流性、建构性与主动性、外溢性与共生性以及虚拟性与无界性的特点,这就使国门安全风险的防控时空从口岸沿着跨境供应链前推后移,进而使国门安全表现出跨国公共产品的属性。各国的国门安全相互依存,国门安全治理日益呈现跨越国家边界、职能边界、层级边界、公私边界和时间边界的跨界性,不断提出国内和国际跨域治理的双重需求。然而,当下的国门安全治理存在着“碎片化”困境,体现为治理部门分散化、政策措施割裂化、政策执行差别化和国家间合作机制扩散拥堵等特点。因此,治理国门安全,应构建国内与国际同构的双层跨域治理框架,国际层面由双边和多边机制构成,国内层面由结构性、程序性和技术性机制组成,以实现对国门安全风险的全过程防控和精准化治理。     

掩饰、隐瞒犯罪所得罪的司法疑难问题探讨

掩饰、隐瞒犯罪所得罪中的犯罪所得包括通过犯罪行为所获得的物品,以及由这些物品转变、转换得来的物品和与这些物品相混同的物品。刑事司法上应该结合总则关于故意犯罪的规定,来认定行为人的明知。明知包括确定的明知和明知可能性两种;可以运用推定的方法对之加以证实。本罪与其他相关犯罪存在法条竞合时,应依特别法优先的原则来处理。     

Qipao Comeback

正WHEN I was about 13 years old,a shop called Shaolin opened up in my hometown in southeast England.At that time,I had no idea what or where the name Shaolin came from–my friends and I would pronounce it"shay-oh lin"–but after my first visit to the shop,I was certain it would become a firm favorite on our list of places-to-hang-out on a Saturday afternoon.Shaolin was an Aladdin’s cave of Chinese goods.On entering,you were fi rst struck by atmospheric,dim lighting and the heady smell of incense.Then,the sounds:A CD of bamboo flute music accompanied by sounds of nature,and the tinkle of wind chimes evoked a sense of calm that made you want to stop and browse.For me,these sensory experiences became synonymous with"the Orient,"and     

Why societies need public goods

The most distinctive features of public goods are usually understood to be the difficulty of excluding potential beneficiaries and the fact that one appropriator’s benefits do not diminish the amount of benefits left for others. Yet, because of these properties (non-excludability and non-rivalry), public goods cause market failures and contribute to problems of collective action. This article aims to portray public goods in a different light. Following a recent reassessment of public goods in political philosophy, this contribution argues that public goods are particularly suitable for sustaining a well-ordered society. Public goods contribute to social inclusion, they support the generation of the public, and they strengthen a shared sense of citizenship. This article scrutinizes these functions of public goods and offers a discussion of the interventionist thesis which states that governments should sustain public goods.     

Exclusivity of citizens’ initiatives: Fuel for collective action?

ABSTRACT

Self-organized citizens’ initiatives are a form of collective action and contribute to society through the production of public goods and services. Traditional collective action theory predicts that such initiatives are near impossible because of the persistent problems of free-riding. Citizens’ initiatives however do exist and function properly, and their numbers seem to be increasing in countries such as the Netherlands. This article argues that free-riding problems can be overcome when some form of exclusivity is arranged in citizens’ initiatives. We assume that citizens’ initiatives use active and/or passive strategies to limit free-riding behaviour. Using three illustrative cases, our research shows that position rules, boundary rules, and authority rules are used in a subtle and often implicit way to differentiate the level of influence and authority between the more and the less committed members, enabling collective action. Such rules, though advantageous, may be paradoxical to the goals of the citizens’ initiatives and can undermine the virtues associated with them.
