行政协助的法律定位与控制

行政协助制度是行政程序法上的一个重要制度,但对这一制度的研究在我国却显得相对落后。随着行政职权的有限性和专业化与管理事项日益复杂化之间矛盾的不断加深,建立行政协助制度已成为解决现行管理体制弊端的必然要求。本文从对行政协助的法律定位入手,界定了行政协助的涵义、特征及与相似概念的区别,在此基础上进一步提出了从程序和责任两个方面对行政协助进行有效的法律控制。     

分界·分层·分流·分类——我国民事诉讼制度转型的基本思路

我国民事诉讼制度改革的基本目标和总体方向仍然应当是司法现代化和司法专业化,完成从“前现代”向“现代化”的转型。然而,这种转型不是采取任何单一的价值取向或矫枉过正措施,而是要以社会分工的专业化程度为标志实现社会进化,通过精密的分流装置,体现权限分界、职能分层、案件分流、程序分类的基本思路,从而在价值冲突中系统地重构我国现代化的民事诉讼程序。     

Violence,fear, and development in Latin America: a critical overview

This introduction presents the core concepts that shape this special issue on the impact of violence and the processes of development in Central and South America. The understanding of development is considered in terms broader than the economic context alone, in order to assess wider social and political aspects. With a similarly expansive scope, forms of violence are addressed that range from direct physical harm and bodily attack to the often more subtle aggression of racialised abuse or the pressures on community-centred production from dominant market forces. In these contexts, violence, economic initiatives, and political allegiances form unintended and often dangerous networks of consequence for development matters. All the articles in this volume exemplify further the spatial environments of violence and diverse ‘landscapes of fear’ that shape our existence and help to define our actions, territories, and understanding of what happens around us.     

Social capital

In parallel with, and as a complement to, globalisation, ‘social capital’ has enjoyed a meteoric rise across the social sciences over the last two decades. Not surprisingly, it has been particularly prominent across development studies, not least through heavy promotion by the World Bank. As a concept, though, as has been argued persistently by a minority critical literature, social capital is fundamentally flawed. Although capable of addressing almost anything designated as social, it has tended to neglect the state, class, power, and conflict. As a buzzword, it has heavily constrained the currently progressive departure from the extremes of neo-liberalism and post-modernism at a time of extremely aggressive assault by economics imperialism. Social capital should not be ignored but contested – and rejected.     

中国古代民法与现代民法若干问题比较研究——以物权法为中心

本文以物权法为中心,从古代民法的有无、物权客体的分类、永佃权以及遗失物制度几个方面与现代民法进行了比较研究。得出了中国古代不仅存在民法而且内容非常丰富,对之进行研究将对我国现今民事立法大有裨益的结论。     

Citizenship: a perverse confluence

This article discusses the different meanings that citizenship has assumed in Latin America in the past few decades. Its main argument is that, in the perverse confluence between neo-liberal and democratic participatory projects, the common reference to citizenship, used by different political actors, projects an apparent homogeneity, obscuring differences and diluting the conflict between those projects.     

公务员精神培育的伦理路径：角色把握、职责担当、合作定位

公务员精神具有明显的时代性,在建设和谐社会的今天,公务员精神作为公务员的价值信念,指引、评价和规范公务员的行为,体现着公共行政的精神和行政文化的价值观。通过角色期待、角色领悟和角色实践,公务员可以准确把握其角色的特殊性内涵,理解公共管理的多元性、政治性以及公共性这些特质。社会角色赋予了角色承担者特殊的社会关系,这种社会关系往往通过职责体现,包括责任和义务,担当职责是角色的必然要求。公务员要出色地完成其职责,合作是最好的选择甚至可以说是唯一的选择。沿着角色把握、职责担当、合作定位这一伦理路径,公务员精神的公共性、正义性、廉洁性才能得以实现。     

关于公司法实施中的若干问题

在公司法实施中暴露的主要问题是发起人虚假出资、控制股东行为不规范、公司人格混同及被滥用现象突出。完善公司立法应立足中国国情,统一公司与企业法,重构公司资本制度,降低公司设立门槛,完善公司治理,细化债权人保护规则以增强法的可诉性;在公司司法方面,宜完善司法解释并由最高人民法院公布公司案例,发挥其引导作用;在揭开公司面纱方面尤其应结合中国的国情和司法实践,而不宜机械地照般国外的理论。     

公务员体检中的体格归类与平等担任公职权

各地公务员录用体检办法和体检标准中因存在许多不合理的体格归类,而使相当多的具有一定生理缺陷的人被无情地挡在了公务员门槛之外,且难以获得公正的救济。以宪法平等权的精神来检验,这些归类或者不具有合法目的,或者违反了比例原则,都导致了立法歧视。为保护公民平等担任公职的权利,有必要对现行公务员录用体检制度进行改革。     

对《公务员法》的几点思考

新颁布的《中华人民共和国公务员法》有许多创新之处,包括聘任制、竞争上岗、引咎辞职、严格的离职从业限制等,标志着我国公务员管理制度日益完善。但仍然存在不足与缺陷,比如未设定公职人员财产申报制度,奖惩缺乏法定程序,等等。
