调解本位主义及其制度选择——关于现行民事诉讼中调解优先模式的法理解读

调解优先模式的确立,标志着民事诉讼中调解本位主义的回归与复兴.本文考察分析了影响调解模式选择的现实因素,揭示了调解本位主义在中国社会籁以生长的实践土壤和制度运行的可用资源;通过对传统文化基因的分析,揭示了调解本位主义具有的民族特色和依存的文化根源;通过对司法场城中自治与强制关系的分析,揭示了调解模式具有的法治内涵.此外,本文还从法律效果和社会效果相统一的角度,分析了判决模式和调解模式在司法实践中的消长关系.在此基础上论证了调解本位主义作为民事诉讼的制度模式在中国走向法制现代化过程中选择和复兴的必要性和必然性.

《民法典·继承编》:编纂争议与制度抉择

《民法典·继承编》的编纂,关乎《民法典》编纂的体系与质量,牵涉我国现行《继承法》的理念传承与制度完善。若要编纂具有本国特色与本土情怀的《民法典·继承编》,则需关注继承民俗与继承习惯,回应继承需求与继承关切,借鉴域外继承立法的规范设计与制度走向。继承立法并非仅是单纯的制度架构与模式选择,而是融合了理念、传统、希冀、情怀的价值抉择与利益博弈。故《民法典·继承编》的编纂,应承担相应的道德责任与社会责任。即通过编纂定位,实现功用价值、追求内在价值;通过争议抉择,拓展法定继承顺序、调整直系姻亲的继承地位;通过制度补益,修正继承行为、更新继承习惯。     

The Influence of Finance Policies on Charter School Supply Decisions in Five States

This paper tests if charter school finance policies influence charter school location. I create a theoretical framework describing the location incentives created by charter school finance provisions and test their relevance empirically by applying a two-step approach consisting of negative binomial models and Wald tests. Using data from New York, North Carolina, Florida, Michigan, and Ohio, I provide evidence that states’ finance provisions are an important policy lever impacting charter school location. Several robustness checks corroborate the initial results.     

新合同法代理制度对我国仲裁的影响--兼论仲裁制度的完善

新合同法设立了三种代理制度,隐名代理中被代理人的介入权以及第三人的选择权,半隐名代理中规定的对被代理人的法定约束力,均对合同中仲裁条款的效力提出挑战.同时也使得合同法的规定与仲裁的理论产生了较大的冲突.

Designing stakeholder consultations: Reinforcing or alleviating bias in the European Union system of governance?

Consultations with stakeholders are a policy instrument widely used by policy makers to design policies and prepare legislative proposals across national and supranational systems of government. The European Union has recently reviewed its stakeholder consultation regime and asked for stakeholders’ policy input. This offers an opportunity to examine empirically stakeholders’ own evaluation of the regime and to ask a fundamental question about its democratic credentials: Do stakeholders recognise the EU consultation regime as reinforcing bias in interest representation by benefiting policy insiders, or conversely as an instrument that alleviates bias in supranational policy making? Building on rational choice institutionalism, this article outlines the potential distributional outcomes of the regime and argues that they are likely to vary along the lines of a classic divide in policy making that opposes policy insiders to outsiders. Two competing narratives are discussed in relation to the expected direction of this variation by focusing on insiders’ incentives to support or oppose the regime. The observable implications are tested empirically on an original dataset containing information about stakeholders’ positions on the evaluation of the regime status quo, its proposed further institutionalisation and their recommendations for change. The findings describe a consultation regime that seems to have created conditions alleviating bias in stakeholders’ participation in supranational policy making. This is evident in the lack of systematic, significant differences between insiders and outsiders in the evaluation of the consultation regime. Where differences do occur, they are consistent with the image of a consultation regime that has not reinforced bias in favour of policy insiders. These actors are found to be more critical of the regime status quo, its institutionalisation and more inclined to recommend policy improvements. This supports an optimistic view over the democratic credentials and legitimacy of the EU consultation regime and outlines an additional scenario under which policy actors that are traditionally associated with exerting more power and influence find themselves stripped of their privileged position in the context of European supranational governance.     

Central coercion or local autonomy? A comparative analysis of policy instrument choice in refugee settlement policies

Although existing literature on central–local governance includes comprehensive studies on how constitutional and financial frameworks regulate local government autonomy, this study seeks explanations for the introduction or absence of central coercion within these frameworks. The analysis studies six processes of policy instrument choice with different outcomes in Norway, Denmark and Sweden in the field of refugee settlement. It finds that a uniform perception of crisis and political compromises make political parties abandon their political–ideological standpoints relating to central–local governance. Additionally, the success and failure of political strategies of obfuscation and of dividing the opposition help to explain the different outcomes. The study reveals differences in the political salience of central–local governance in three countries that have systematically been categorised in the same groups in central–local studies. Consequently, more studies on how and why local autonomy is regulated within national frameworks are necessary to understand the actual autonomy that local governments enjoy.
