论自然权利的刑法保护

环境的刑法保护是一种重要的环境保护方法，但环境刑法的架构极富变化，传统的刑法保护客体理论存在着明显的不足，我国刑法保护的客体应为公民环境权与自然权利的综合体，兼顾对人类环境权和自然本身的权利的保护，突出自然价值的独立性，以充分全面保护自然环境不受人类环境犯罪行为的侵害。     

自然权利的现代性困境——解读列奥·施特劳斯的《自然权利与历史》

列奥·施特劳斯在其《自然权利与历史》中,通过其对经典的解读与批判呈现了自然权利走向现代性困境的历史过程,为我们清晰地勾画了不同思想间的逻辑线条。霍布斯将人的主观欲望代替了古典自然权利论的德性以论证自然权利的正当,从而使解构古典的普遍正义成为可能;卢梭则将文明的进化过程视为人道的历史过程,从而在相对的历史中追寻人道,使自然权利论走向了相对主义;事实与价值的两分方法在社会科学中的运用将相对主义进一步推进,海德格尔将存在投入时间的视野,以时间性和历史性呈现暂时和断裂的意义,彻底将自然权利抛向了虚无主义的现代性困境。     

自然垄断产业授权立法成本的控制模式

自然垄断产业是授权立法的主要适用领域。在现代规制的效率目标下，授权立法必须控制代理成本。授权幅度、程序控制、规制机构的独立性、规则的监督这些单一控制工具对于最小化代理成本存在着一定程度的功能障碍，结构控制模式才能实现成本控制的功能整合，并解释各国多样化成本控制制度的权变特征。中国自然垄断产业授权立法应利用结构模式，结合国情，优先选择适应性的规制改革路径。     

“武疯子”事件武力控制及专项教学研究

“武疯子”是一个特殊社会群体，“武疯子”暴力行为对社会危害性大，开展“武疯子”事件武力控制专项教学意义重大。对“武疯子”闹事特征、“武疯子”闹事武力控制特征、警察处置“武疯子”闹事能力进行分析，在此基础上制定公安院校武力控制专项教学的科学训练板块、科学训练流程和明确教官分工和组织实施任务尤为重要。     

Ruralisation: a tool for rural transformation

There is a concept that development practitioners have either not heard of or not read, or have chosen to ignore – ruralisation. Unlike urbanisation in urban studies, ruralisation is rarely used as a concept in rural research. It remains a poorly explored concept. By challenging existing notions about the use of the concept, this article attempts to (re)introduce ruralisation as a fundamental concept in rural studies. What is ruralisation? Why do we need it? How can we use it for rural transformations? The article addresses these critical questions. It defines ruralisation and presents its conceptual framework for rural transformation.     

本体与属性：监狱惩罚的新界定

我国传统刑罚学中关于惩罚的研究范式仅囿于＂惩罚为了什么＂,实际上,应该对惩罚的本体即＂惩罚是什么＂作出深入分析。惩罚是国家基于报应主义或功利主义的立场,对被判定为有罪的人有计划、有组织地施加痛苦的一种方式。当人类进入到近现代社会后,惩罚则由一种方式转变为一种机制时,监狱惩罚便由此承担了其历史赋予的重任。监狱惩罚是对惩罚的现实兑现,是通过时间、空间和制度等安排实现对惩罚的物化。监狱惩罚的法律属性从历史和逻辑出发都可以定性为监狱的本质机能,而改造机能只能为次生机能。     

From Tremors to Talks: Do Natural Disasters Produce Ripe Moments for Resolving Separatist Conflicts?

This article suggests that natural disasters can produce a ripe moment for conflict resolution because governments faced with the demand for effective disaster relief have incentives to offer concessions to separatist challengers. An analysis of the prevalence of new negotiations, ceasefires, and peace agreements during 12-month periods before and after natural disasters for separatist dyads 1990–2004 reveal some support for this proposition. Natural disasters increase the likelihood that parties will initiate talks or agree to ceasefires but have less effect on the signing of peace agreements. In line with the proposed mechanism, these results are particularly strong in democracies and following more severe disasters where the need to provide relief is most acute.     

西方法学的一体化运动

在当代西方法学界,自然法学派、分析法学派和社会法学派呈现出三足鼎立的态势.三大法学派彼此之间存在着激烈的学术争论,但同时也存在着相互渗透、相互融合的趋势.在此基础上,法学一体化运动应运而生.这场运动的主旨是努力促进三大法学派之间的理论融合,从而建立一个统一法学.法学一体化运动取得了一定的学术成果,但也面临着严峻的挑战.     

The effect of logistic services on the watermelon value chain in Tanzania

This article reports on a study that aimed to understand the effects for poverty reduction of the link between logistic services and cost of the watermelon value chain in Rufiji and Mkuranga districts in Tanzania. Structured questionnaires and FGDs were used to collect data from 251 respondents. Findings revealed that transport cost, storage cost, purchase cost, and logistics service have strong significant effect on the watermelon value chain cost. Based on the findings, the study recommended the use of affordable methods of storage, opening agro-input shops in villages, and the development of a favourable environment for watermelon businesses, to help reduce chain cost.     

A case for integrated development: pathways to improve child well-being

Economic strengthening interventions may increase income, assets, and food security. Donors and implementers see the potential for improvements in child well-being. This article presents lessons learnt from the implementation of two economic strengthening interventions. It finds missed opportunities with regard to child nutrition, and recommends: (1) integrating economic strengthening interventions with complementary development activities; (2) deep formative assessment to inform programme design; and (3) the use of community-based feedback loops. Development practitioners, funders, policymakers, and researchers must take every opportunity to improve the lives of children as young as possible to build healthy families, communities, and nations.
