Cautious Surfers: The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Negotiates the Wave of the Information Age

Due to the ongoing information revolution, diplomats find themselves in an increasingly competitive information-intensive environment where they have to prove that they still are relevant and needed. The article explores this general development by detailing how the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has related to the technological challenge. Drawing on personal interviews with MFA staff, study of MFA documents including reports from Norwegian embassies and delegations, as well as participant observation, reasons for the relative tardiness and path-dependence in implementing IT-supported organizational change at the MFA are explored.

论刑事诉讼证据的存在形式--兼论电子证据的证据属性

关于刑事诉讼证据的存在形式,世界各国立法与理论一直存有争论。试图以证据中存储的事实信息为理论基点,重新确立一个科学、统一、易于把握的标准,尝试将刑事证据的存在形式分为人证与证物两种,并把电子证据归为证物中不同于传统书证与物证的一种特殊存在形式。     

论受贿罪中的“为他人谋取利益”

"为他人谋取利益"旨在说明国家工作人员收受的财物与其职务之间具有对价关系;"为他人谋取利益"中的"他人"包括行贿人、行贿人所指示的第三人以及单位,"利益"包含正当利益与不正当利益;将"为他人谋取利益"限定为客观上实施了谋取利益的具体职务行为或者解释为主观要件要素,不具有合理性;"为他人谋取利益"的最低要求是许诺为他人谋取利益;事先没有约定,在为他人谋取利益之后收受作为职务行为的不正当报酬的财物的,成立受贿罪;"为他人谋取利益"的行为构成其他犯罪的,除刑法有特别规定的以外,应当与受贿罪实行并罚。     

对巴基斯坦等国人员持用"F"和"L"签证情况及违法活动的调查

美国禁毒政策初探

美国毒品政策处在不断变化修改过程中,传统的禁毒政策是以控制供求为主要模式,并与有组织犯罪政策,对外政策相互协调,具体是减少供应和减少需求两种政策。鉴于传统禁毒政策无法有效地解决毒品问题,很多学者在修改传统理论的基础上,提出了一些新的禁毒措施。

从死刑的存废谈毒品犯罪死刑的限制

在人类的文明史上,死刑是资格最老的刑罚之一,其历史至少和国家的历史一样漫长。死刑又是发育、成熟最早的刑罚,当其他刑罚还处于萌芽幼稚状态时,死刑即进入了自己的“黄金时期”。死刑还是最早进入衰亡时期的刑罚之一,随着人类社会从农业文明进入工业文明,商品经济取代自然经济,死刑的生存便出现了危机。死刑存废之争已持续了二百多年,从我国刑法来看,死刑仍然占有十分重要的地位,对于死刑的适用还较为广泛。在现代法治社会里,死刑的设置与适用应极为慎重。对毒品犯罪的死刑使用应当予以必要限制。     

析邻接权人“通过信息网络向公众传播”的权利

本文是对现行中国著作权法中,邻接权人"通过信息网络向公众传播"的权利的规范分析。主要有以下观点:第一,《著作权法》中的"信息网络传播权"是著作权人的权利,与邻接权人无涉;第二,表演者只能授权他人通过信息网络向公众传播其表演的权利,而不可能单独享有"自己通过信息网络向公众传播表演"的权利;第三,《著作权法》在录音录像制作者"通过信息网络向公众传播"的权利的规定中,出现了漏洞;第四,区分通过信息网络"传播"与"发行"的关键在于理解音像制品与载体、有形载体和无形载体的区别;第五,广播组织不应该享有类似权利。     

Malaysia's government publishing house: a quest for increased performance through technology

Electronic publishing, which is the production of a book or an e‐book electronically, encompasses all processes involved in the production such as electronic communication, production, authoring, submission, reviewing, transfer and output. This study examines a radical transformation process to turn a conventional sector into an electronic sector. Studies were carried out in a government run publishing house in Malaysia, where the course of the public sectors and the interests of the private sectors meet. Factors that hindered progress, such as data management issues and transparencies are identified, and suggestions made to overcome them. Some concerns over disruption, such as creative destruction, often viewed as negative and destructive were identified with the introduction of technology. As disruption is also considered as one of the main hindrances in innovation, the study focuses on determining other effects of disruption on transformation. Business and management strategies are combined and a system that could increase performance and efficiency in the sector is proposed. However, the main concern in e‐government efforts will have to be looked into from the root issues expanding from top level management to users and an innovative platform furnished with knowledge and skills at all levels.
