现代调解制度若干问题研究

现代调解制度循实践理性发展,在法律传统与其他相关因素的交互作用下形成了市场模式和司法模式两大调解类型。替代审判、当事人自治及恢复、转变社会关系是现代调解制度追求的共同目标。调解现代化进程中尚存在着脱离法律规制的趋势,为此,调解应被限制在合理的范围内,特别是对强制调解的扩张要保持应有的警惕。     

生态意识:生态文明建设的动力系统

生态意识主要包括生态认识、生态情感、生态意志和生态参与。它的时代重要性主要表现为:它是生态理性转化为生态行为的中介,是整体自觉转化为个体自觉的中介,是学理自觉转化为生活自觉的中介。公民生态意识的提升可以为生态文明建设提供强大动力,推动政府、企业和社会的生态行为。     

对基层公安机关治安调解工作的几点思考

治安调解是公安基层执法部门的一项经常性工作,在治安行政执法工作中发挥着十分重要的作用。特别是为进一步规范和加强公安机关治安调解工作,化解社会矛盾,促进社会稳定,公安部于2007年12月8日颁布并实施了《公安机关治安调解工作规范》。该规范对治安调解的适用范围以及不适用治安调解的情形,治安调解工作原则和程序、治安调解案件的办案期限、现场调解的适用条件等做出具体规定。结合该《治安调解工作规范》,本文着重对治安调解的依法调解对策进行了探讨。     

运用调解制度,及时防范"民转刑"--对民转刑案件调查的思考

社会生活中的许多刑事案件很多是由普通的民事纠纷恶化形成.自愿、公平、合法、平等地进行调解并充分尊重当事人的诉讼权利是实施民事调解制度的重要原则.自觉运用调解制度,防止民事纠纷的恶化,维护社会的稳定,对于司法工作人员和普通公民都具有重要的意义.     

论中国行政诉讼和解制度的建立

我国《行政诉讼法》明文规定了“行政诉讼不适用调解”原则,并且对行政机关与公民的和解也未作规定,然而实践中和解普遍存在。行政诉讼和解存在的有力依据为:现代公共行政已从权力中心走向服务中心和行政裁量权的广泛存在。和解是不同于判决和撤诉的一种独立的诉讼制度,与法治原则并不矛盾。它体现了当事人的主体性,并能够促使新的行政活动方式产生。在中国语境之下,未来《行政诉讼法》应建立和解而非调解制度才是最佳选择。     

The Secrets of Successful (and Unsuccessful) Mediators Continued: Studies Two and Three

In a survey of 216 advocates in mediation, the successful mediator's ability to gain the confidence of the parties was cited as important to his or her success more frequently than were any of the skills used by the mediator to bring about agreement. This article discusses the means by which mediators gain the confidence of disputing parties. The article also discusses the different skill and attribute profiles of different successful mediators and the advocates' views of the reasons for mediator failure. The article considers the implications of its findings for mediators, trainers, and advocates, and concludes with suggestions for future research.     

Mediation Ethics: A Grounded Approach

Using insights drawn from mediation practice, social justice scholarship, and debates on ethical thinking in other professional fields, the authors argue that prevailing ethical codes for mediators in the United States stunt the development of ethical thinking in the field. Current codes and even their critiques take a "top-down" approach that proceeds from the perspective of the mediator and gives primacy to abstract principles rather than to the particulars and contexts of disputes. This approach ignores a much richer practice on the ground, depends on an artificial division of procedural and substantive justice, and constricts the scope of ethical questions raised, inhibiting effective systemic solutions. The authors argue for ethics grounded in the context of particular substantive areas, which do not focus on the mediator alone and which remain open to a wider set of social justice considerations.     

行政合同救济的反思与重构

随着现代行政管理的发展,行政合同在国家行政中的作用日益突出。尽管行政合同在行政法中的地位仍有争议,但在行政实践中已有大量行政合同的存在。行政合同的大量运用不可避免地会引发纠纷,而救济渠道不畅,制约了行政合同法治化的进程。本文从行政合同的行政可诉性入手,对行政合同救济的范围、救济现状进行了分析,并根据行政合同纠纷的特点,结合当前的司法救济制度对行政合同救济制度进行了构建,以期促进我国行政合同救济理论的发展与完善。     

The Limits of Peace: Third Parties in Civil Wars in Southeast Asia, 1993–2004

At of the end of 2005, Asia had the highest number of active civil war dyads. The number of active dyads in other regions was either low or declining. Africa, in particular, experienced a sharp drop in the number of active dyads from 2001 to 2005. Civil wars in Asia also last longer than wars in other regions. With a high number of warring dyads fighting in long wars, the expectation would be that the region would be the focus of third-party conflict management, but this is not the case. In this article, we use an original data set to take a closer look at this gap in expectations by focusing on third-party efforts in Southeast Asia between 1993 and 2004. Bilateral talks were the most common form of third-party engagement, but mediation has been the most likely form to lead to agreements between warring parties. We conclude the article with a discussion of the policy implications of this research.     

论我国刑事和解的立法化

我国刑事和解立法不但是必要的,而且是可行的;为便于司法机关统一适用刑事和解.防止刑事和解的随意性,更好地保护被害人的利益,应当在刑事诉讼法和刑法中的适当位置分别就刑事和解的程序规则和实体处理进行规定.
