文化 宗教 法治——关于人本主义文化传统与中国法治的思考

文化传统是民族文化的积淀 ,它渗透于民族生活的各个方面。法治作为社会正常运行的有效手段 ,与一定的文化传统不可分割。中国的人本主义文化传统不仅削弱了人们的宗教感 ,而且削弱了中国的法治 ,强化了人治。“民本”不等于“民主”。背负着沉重的文化包袱 ,要真正实现民主和法治 ,我们还要走很长的路

Glasnost and the emotional climate in eastern Europe

The year 1989 was as historic for Europe as 1848. The countries of Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania had disappeared from the emotional calendar of Western nations. But the people in what was erroneously called Eastern Europe were hurting because of their ostracism from Europe. Under glasnost, they showed, expressed, and acted upon their hurt. The actors were the youth and the artists. Glasnost has revealed what is best and worst in the traditions of these countries.     

Evaluation of the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987: Impact and Challenges for Preserving Underwater Cultural Heritage

In the demand of regulatory policy to control salvage of shipwrecks and protect the nation's underwater cultural heritage, the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 allowed the exception of the admiralty law to give states authority and management of abandoned shipwrecks for the purposes of preservation and recreation. Due to the lack of its regulatory power and vague standards, the Act has been harshly criticized for being ineffectual in resolving conflicts between commercial salvors, and states or protecting illicit salvage. This research will examine the purpose and impact of the policy under the framework of the National Historic Preservation Act, which restrained options in the policymaking. While acknowledging its limitations, this research finds that the Act enabled the inclusion of historic shipwrecks in the nation's preservation system, allowed funding, and promoted its use for public benefits. Studying the Act in the policy context of the U.S. historic preservation can promote the rightful understanding of its policy limitations as well as impact, and support feasible policy improvement.     

Remembering the children: decolonizing community-based restorative justice for Indian Residential Schools

This article argues for community-based justice to confront the atrocities of residential schools in Canada. After considering the strengths of community-based restorative justice (CBRJ) in relation to state-sponsored transitional justice responses, I examine a case study of the Remembering the Children Society (RCS), an Indigenous church partnership, that has worked to commemorate children who lost their lives at the Red Deer Industrial School. The RCS engages in a decolonizing form of CBRJ by placing primacy on Indigenous cultures through (1) feasts and ceremonies, (2) freeing the spirits of children who died, (3) the centrality of elders, and (4) Aboriginal spirituality and world views on ‘working together’. The centrality of cultures contributes to decolonization through (1) cultural resistance in the face of assimilation, (2) the healing power of cultural resurgence, (3) the development of mutually honoring partnerships, and (4) the telling of decolonizing truths. In conclusion, I consider the broader impacts of the RCS in helping transform official narratives about residential schools.     

论传统社会户籍身份法律制度

户籍制度是中国传统社会极具特色之处。中国在先秦时代就形成了户籍制度。户籍是封建国家据以征调赋税、劳役、兵役以及区分人户职业和等级的重要凭证,也由此形成了独具特色的中国户籍身份制。     

清末法律改革何以如此艰难

鸦片战争以后,国家处在危亡之际,清政府进行了史无前例的全方位的法律改革,开启了中国法律近代转型的历史航程。由于内忧外患的紧迫形势,变法图强成为第一要务,而对法律自身的发展规律关注不够,清末法律改革进行得非常艰难。由于不是社会内部力量的推动,而是在社会外部力量的冲击下被迫进行的一次改革,造成了法律与传统文化契合的艰难。自从清代法律改革,中国法律近代化、现代化已演绎百余年,直到今天,如何实现中国传统文化与中国法律现代化之间的对接、契合,仍然是我们必须面对的重大理论、实践课题。
