西方法律传统与法制现代化

法制现代化是人类社会法律文明的成长与变革过程,这场意义深远的历史性变革首先肇始于西方。西方法制现代化作为原生的内发型法制现代化,由于它反映了法律文明发展的世界性这一共同规律,因而成为全球法制现代化运动的先导。

Legitimate Power in a Mediated Age: Revisiting Carl J. Friedrich's “Authority,Reason and Discretion”

Although scholars of political communication study legitimacy and power consistently, we often overlook older works on the topic from political theory and philosophy that might give us guidance in a mediated age. Friedrich was a contemporary of Lazarsfeld, Merton, and so many of the great 20th-century social scientists we look to as providing the foundations for our field. This essay asks that we go back to Friedrich as well, and to others who found authority to be one of our most complex and important social phenomena.     

Gorr on actus reus

Advances in forensic techniques have expanded the temporal horizon of criminal investigations, facilitating investigation of historic crimes that would previously have been considered unsolvable. Public enthusiasm for pursuing historic crimes is exemplified by recent high-profile trials of celebrities accused of historic sexual offences. These circumstances give new urgency to the question of how we should decide which historic offences to investigate. A satisfactory answer must take into account the ways in which the passage of time can erode the benefits of criminal investigation, the costs associated with investigating old crimes, and the need to prioritize investigations in the face of limited police resources. This article emphasizes the first of these factors. It begins by considering the moral goals of a criminal justice system and the contribution of criminal investigations to the achievement of these goals, distinguishing between contributions that depend on further steps in the criminal justice process, such as prosecution and punishment, and contributions that can have value independently of these further steps. Using this important distinction, the article then examines a range of factors that relate the passage of time to criminal justice goals, including the seriousness of the crime; deterioration of evidence; death of the offender, victim and others affected by the crime; and diminished psychological connectedness between those affected by the crime and their current selves. While the range and non-uniformity of relevant factors preclude a simple answer to the question of when historic crimes should be investigated and call instead for case-by-case assessment, we find that the analysis does support some general conclusions that can guide such an assessment.     

论当前中国行政文化的二重性

当前中国行政文化在传统行政文化和国外先进行政文化的共同作用下,显现出独有的二重性特征。一方面,行政伦理化、人治色彩、“官本位”意识和重形式而轻效率构成我国行政文化的传统特征;另一方面,法治观念、民主观念、服务观念及效率观念构成我国行政文化的现代特征。     

宗教文化对中国传统司法审判制度的制约与影响

宗教文化对中国传统司法审判制度的渗透与影响是不容忽视的,表面看来宗教对中国传统司法审判制度影响甚微,实际上宗教与传统司法审判制度有着深层的纠葛,宗教成为历代政治话语中法律权威性和神圣性的合理来源。其对司法审判制度的影响主要体现在制度层面、司法理念层面、法律器物层面。     

中国近代法理学的形成与发展

法理学在中国近代社会的形成、发展与西学的传入、近代中国社会的特征密切相关。法理学西来并逐渐发展之日,正是传统法律在中国解体并断裂之时。近代中国的法理学是在批判传统、吸纳西学中形成的,所以其少有传统的因素。但随着社会的发展,新兴的法理学逐渐开始了与传统的结合,思想家们对传统法理也有了一定程度的肯定,并努力探索着中西法理的融合之路。     

用益物权的价值取向及立法指引

用益物权是既古老而又鲜活的物权制度。在社会经济不断发展的时代背景下,物的利用对人们日益重要,用益物权逐渐成为物权法的中心,在市场经济的舞台上发挥着举足轻重的作用。虽然我国《物权法》将用益物权作为单独篇章进行了较为科学的制度安排,但其与我国现阶段市场经济发展需求相比仍显滞后。我国应当继承传统的典权制度,规范地上权,完善分层地上权,增加居住权,细化特许物权等法律规制,以整合我国用益物权体系的维度定位。
