The exclusion of Roma claimants in Canadian refugee policy

The arrival of thousands of European Roma seeking refugee status in Canada elicited a range of legislative and policy instruments that severely restrict their acceptance and create conditions antagonistic to further admissions. Interventions have included visa restrictions, actions by Immigration and Refugee Board, the Balanced Refugee Reform Act followed by the Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act, and ministerial rhetoric about the illegitimacy of Roma as refugees. Other factors have involved interpretations of persecution in relation to the Geneva Convention and Protocol, and the implications of the conditions required for membership to the European Union. These political circumstances in large part determine Canadian acceptance rates for the Roma. Their systematic exclusion is reminiscent of the historical treatment of other groups due to institutional racism. In the new racism, however, refugee law and policy is racist in effect while evading the language of race.     

Economic strain and perceptions of social cohesion in Europe: Does institutional trust matter?

The degree to which different social groups get along is a key indicator of the cohesiveness of a society. This study examines perceptions of social cohesion among Europeans and explains variations in those perceptions by considering the separate and combined effects of economic strain and institutional trust. Analyses were conducted with the 27 member countries of the EU based on the Eurobarometer 74.1 on poverty and social exclusion conducted in 2010. Results show that individuals living in households experiencing economic strain perceive social cohesion to be weaker than their less economically hard‐pressed counterparts. By contrast, individuals trusting their political institutions perceived there to be higher levels of cohesion. Furthermore, institutional trust substantially moderates the negative relationship between economic strain and perceptions of cohesion. These results are robust to various model specifications. Moreover, extending the analysis revealed that this moderating effect held when considering social relations between the poor and rich and between different racial and ethnic groups. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.     

Historical perspective and better regulatory governance: An agenda for institutional reform

Compared to economics, sociology, political science, and law, the discipline of history has had a limited role in the wide‐ranging efforts to reconsider strategies of regulatory governance, especially inside regulatory institutions. This article explores how more sustained historical perspective might improve regulatory decisionmaking. We first survey how a set of American regulatory agencies currently rely on historical research and analysis, whether for the purposes of public relations or as a means of supporting policymaking. We then consider how regulatory agencies might draw on history more self‐consciously, more strategically, and to greater effect. Three areas stand out in this regard – the use of history to improve understanding of institutional culture; reliance on historical analysis to test the empirical plausibility of conceptual models that make assumptions about the likelihood of potential economic outcomes; and integration of historical research methods into program and policy evaluation.     

制度执行力:概念辨析及构建要素

制度执行力就是指制度本身所具有被执行落实的强制力、执行效力,以及相关组织在执行相关制度时的执行力量和执行效力。制度执行力与政府执行力、政策执行力之间具有交叉重叠的关系。制度执行力的构建,需要从完善制度、执行元制度、执行主体、执行行动、执行要件等方面着手。     

公共利益法律化：理论、路径与制度完善

在多元社会背景下,为了整合各种形态的特殊利益,代表公共利益的国家借助法律的形式,建立起一种法律秩序,使其对社会的控制和管理合法化。公共利益也表现出从法律外的抽象政治理念到具有实质内容法律概念的现代转向,公共利益法律化的主要内容在于寻求公共利益的确定法律内涵。从实体和程序两个角度探讨公共利益的法律化忽视了公共利益作为法律概念与非法律概念的区分。将公共利益视为一个不确定法律概念,围绕着其规范目的进行具体化研究是公共利益法律化的有效路径。因而,公共利益的法律化不应停留在立法对公共利益概念的表述,更应当完善确定公共利益法律内涵的法律界定模式。     

The Multifaceted Balance of the Concept of Staatswissenschaften in the Tradition of the Historical School

The article critcizes recent contributions which argue that the historical school was neither German, nor historical, nor a school. Instead, the historical school has a pronounced multifaceted basis which is mostly ignored in the recent literature. Some of these multifaceted dimensions are briefly highlighted. Finally, the practical relevance of the approach is discussed by referring to some recent economic policy issues.     

揭开集合侵权的面纱——从术语翻译到制度建构的追问

Masstort应译为“集合侵权”。“大规模侵权”存在形式和实质上之不足,不能标识恰当的判断标准,无法揭示整体性侵害这一本质,也难以统摄两大基本类型。基于整体结构转型、构成技术和归责机制失灵等原因,集合侵权不能融入传统侵权法,属于侵权法上的“情势变更”。为应对集合侵权,实体法须采取拟制集合团体、醇化责任基础、损害赔偿模型化、缓和证明责任等措施;同时,应以集团诉讼为中心构建程序制度,并实现私人自治和国家强制的结合。我国初步具备了应对集合侵权的实体法基础;程序法上还亟待建立集团诉讼制度,改变行政主导应对程序的现状。     

“一方有难,八方支援”在疫情防控中的实践效度与精神向度

无论从实践效度还是精神向度看,"一方有难,八方支援"都为打赢疫情防控的人民战争、总体战、阻击战贡献了巨大力量。从实践效度看,它是一种行动力量,彰显了中国特色社会主义制度优势;从精神向度看,它是一种精神力量,为抗击疫情筑牢了精神防线,提升了防疫效能,为培育社会主义核心价值观、繁荣社会主义先进文化、构建人类命运共同体发挥了应有的作用。     

面对文化歧视的加拿大华人

加拿大华人社会从19世纪中叶至今,经历了巨大的社会文化变迁,老移民团体在制度性种族歧视下受到了各种限制与压迫。新移民团体在不平等法案法规废除以后,通过社会流动取得了一些改善与进步。“唐人街”(中国城)的产生、发展及加拿大华人群体面对文化霸权所进行的各种适应性改变,体现了他们在面对白人社会主流文化涵化与融合的过程。加拿大华人自身对于苦难的承受力也促使他们形成新的文化身份,争取到更加有利的发展空间。
