论我国知识产权融资保险制度之建构——从保险法角度切入

鉴于国家知识产权战略以及类似于"温州债务危机"的中小企业融资难困境,未来《保险法》的修订应该考虑知识产权融资保险,尤其是知识产权融资履约保证险和信用险、知识产权价值评估险等制度的运用,以缓解银行因融资风险过大而"惜贷"的现象。     

专利权担保融资的法定限度与合约扩充

专利权担保融资是知识产权价值的一种表现形式.专利权的交换价值是其担保功能的法理基础.专利权担保的性质在法律上被界定为质押,专利权担保的效力以登记为要件.目前理论认为,专利权担保为介于抵押与质押的中间形态或接近抵押,其效力以担保合同生效为要件.由于专利权担保融资属于间接、非证券无形资产融资,因此受到三个方面的基本规则约束,即专利规则、担保规则和贷款规则.在不违反法律强制性规定和公共利益的前提下,专利权人与贷款人之间可以根据设定担保的实际需要依据合同自由原则补充法律规定之不足.

论非法集资的证券化趋势与新调整方案

我国非法集资呈现出与广义证券投资相关的证券化趋势。现有调整非法集资的制度规范有非刑法规范与刑法规范,其中以非法吸收公众存款罪与集资诈骗罪为主的刑法调整存在明显缺陷,非法集资的制度规范需要做证券法角度的改进。解决制度性的非法集资问题,必须确立证券非公开发行融资制度标准,扩张合法融资途径,将公司企业的经营性、证券性投融资行为归于证券法调整。引导证券化民间集资关系转化为民间证券融资关系,通过证券融资的规范调整,调整民间融资的行为,用是否违反证券法作为判断民间融资行为的标准。     

农村居民融资法律问题研究——以福建农村“标会”为视角

标会是一种具有悠久历史的民间信用融资行为,广泛流行于我国东南沿海地带,农村地区尤其盛行。一方面,标会具有为农村居民筹措资金和赚取利息的双重功能;另一方面,由于管控难度大,标会也容易造成破坏农村金融秩序等不良后果。当前,我国应当尽快设立有关标会的法律规范,加快农村金融体制改革的进程。     

Political Finance Regimes in Southeast Asia: Introduction

ABSTRACT

The three articles in this themed collection investigate the interplay between political finance regimes and the quality of democracy in Southeast Asia. Andreas Ufen's piece on political finance in Malaysia and Singapore argues that the semi-authoritarian regimes in both states have blocked the reform of campaign and party funding regulations in order to keep their opposition in check. The article on Indonesia, authored by Marcus Mietzner, showcases the country's dysfunctional political finance system as a major hurdle toward further democratization. In their contribution on Thailand, Napisa Waitoolkiat and Paul Chambers show that weak political finance regulations have contributed significantly to the shallowness of Thai parties. Overall, the collection demonstrates that without meaningful political finance reforms, Southeast Asia's democratic stagnation is likely to persist for many years to come.

Incarnating a rhetoric of identity: Pat Robertson and the 700 Club

Abstract

The article analyses the American ‘Christian’ television talk show, the 700 Club, created by Pat Robertson. It suggests that Robertson has developed a sophisticated form of programming based on the creation of a participatory identity between the viewer, programme hosts and interviewees. This is based on the skilful combination of rhetoric and myths, understood in terms of narrative paradigms, supported by the active involvement of worldwide church-based support networks.     

Hitting the right target: EU and Security Council pursuit of terrorist financing

This article analyses one specific instance of the use of targeted sanctions to combat the financing of terrorism by the European Union on behalf of the United Nations Security Council. The case raised a number of issues involving the use of sanctions against non-state actors and provoked a legal challenge at the European Court of Justice. These European court cases have been portrayed as a challenge to the use of targeted sanctions by the Security Council to maintain international peace and security. The fundamental critique here is that targeted sanctions must adhere to due process and the rule of law in order to protect individual human rights.     

Using Cost Analysis to Examine Variability in Replications of an Efficacious Child Neglect Prevention Program

This article reports on a program- and case-level cost analysis of five replication sites of an efficacious child neglect prevention program. Approximately one-third of all sites' total labor hours were expended on direct family services and casework support for a specific family, with the remainder spent on indirect implementation support and program administration activities. Including non-personnel costs, the all-site mean total cost per family was $6,276, ranging across sites from $2,245 to $10,260. Costs varied greatly among individual families within sites. More research is needed to understand factors associated with differences in cost.
