Norms,Behavioral Compliance,and Status Attribution in International Politics

Extant work on status attribution has largely focused on major powers or state capabilities as key explanatory factors driving these social processes and suggests that status considerations increase conflicts between states. We argue for a more comprehensive approach to status attribution that considers international norms as another major factor that is weighed in the attribution process. We contend that states (policymakers) evaluate one another not only on the basis of economic and military capabilities but also on the extent to which there is behavioral conformance with normative expectations and reward one another dependent upon whether these expectations are met. However, this attribution of status is dependent upon the level of contestation pertaining to that norm. Using a data set that assesses consistency with six different norms (resource transference, multilateralism, economic liberalism, democratic governance, respect for human rights, and peaceful dispute resolution), we find that status attribution is associated with norm-consistent behavior but only when these norms are uncontested at the global level.     

行政规范性文件监督制度的反思与重构

行政规范性文件在我国行政管理中起着非常重要的作用,提高行政性规范文件的品质,促进行政主体依法行政,有利于提高行政效能,促进法治建设。但由于制定、执行与监督制度中的诸多问题,很大程度上影响监督效能的发挥。我们对这些制度存在的缺陷进行反思与重构,确立了以程序控制为主线,以立法监控、行政监控、司法监控为重点的多层次的监督体系。     

从行政权与司法权的关系看行政诉讼受案范围

受案范围是行政诉讼中一个极其重要的理论与实践问题 ,也是行政诉讼中一个特有的问题。行政诉讼受案范围的宽泛程度直接关系到公民、法人及其他社会组织合法权益的保护力度。对此 ,有的学者认为所有的行政行为都接受法院的司法审查既不可能 ,也不必要 ,行政诉讼应实行受案范围的有限原则 ;也有的学者主张从以公共利益为本位的利益关系出发 ,一切行政行为都应纳入行政诉讼的受案范围。本文试图从行政诉讼的价值基础 ,立法宗旨 ,及司法权与行政权的关系入手 ,对行政诉讼的受案范围予以剖析 ,并提出笔者的一点粗浅的认识。     

承诺方式的效力考

《中华人民共和国合同法》对承诺方式的效力的规定,过于原则,易出现法律适用上的不一致。本文从法理学的角度对《合同法》第22条进行剖析,以解决实践中出现的承诺方式和要约指定方式的不一致、以行为方式作出的承诺、行为承诺效力的发生标准等法律适用上的问题。     

规范刑法学中犯罪本质认识的三个误区

犯罪本质是刑法学研究的核心内容,在中国刑法学界对其研究也是由来以久。但中国的刑法学者关于规范刑法学中犯罪本质的认识存在三个误区:第一,认为社会危害性说与法益侵害说是关于犯罪本质学说的分歧;第二,法益侵害说的过度提倡;第三,形而上的犯罪本质研究与积极的罪刑法定原则。笔者采取叙述性的描述方式,阐述了这三个误区,澄清了规范刑法学中犯罪本质研究的相关概念,为关于犯罪本质研究奠定基础。     

Community acceptance of recycled water: can we inoculate the public against scare campaigns?

Without improved water resource management, it is predicted that water shortages will affect two‐thirds of humanity by 2025. One solution that has traditionally faced fierce public resistance is recycled waste water. This study investigates the extent to which public communication strategies can influence community acceptance of recycled water, using the framework of Inoculation Theory. A four‐phase experimental design was conducted. Participants completed an initial questionnaire and were then randomly assigned to a control group, a manipulation check group or a treatment group. A final follow‐up survey measured changes in the dependent variable: stated likelihood of using recycled water for different uses. Results indicate that communication strategies based on Inoculation Theory are limited in their effectiveness for this product category. Findings do, however, identify a clear recency effect, indicating that continuous public communications are key to ensuring that community scare campaigns do not prevent implementation of water augmentation projects. This study differs from previous applications of Inoculation Theory because of the challenges associated with marketing a monopoly commodity, which is a necessity to support life. This empirical study uses fictional marketing stimuli to test the theory in a context, which is growing in global importance. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Fifteen Minutes of Fame

中国崛起与全球安全治理转型

中国崛起与全球安全治理转型是21世纪初国际关系领域两个备受瞩目的全球性现象。文章以全球安全治理体系中的安全制度安排和安全规范设定为主要分析路径,以全球政治安全治理和全球经济安全治理为主要分析单元。一方面,自二战结束以来全球安全治理体系可分为"单边全球主义"和"全球单边主义"两个阶段,并且每一阶段的全球安全治理体系均可分解为政治制度、经济制度、政治规范和经济规范四个领域;另一方面,运用比较研究法,对各个时期全球安全治理体系在上述四个领域所体现出来的差异性进行剖析,可以发现,这种差异性集中表现为正在进行中的全球安全治理体系转型,崛起的中国在此次转型过程中开始发挥参与者、建设者和贡献者的作用。在传统全球安全治理体系陷入危机之时,中国崛起在相关领域所带来的制度效应和规范效应正在逐渐潜移默化地嵌入到全球安全治理体系中,中国的政策和实践也将相应日益形成规范化的趋势。     

法律规范的权威定义及结构理论之质疑

现有法律规范的权威定义受制于反映论的认识进路,不仅未能全面揭示法律规范的内在含义,而且在属概念不明之时,自身也晦暗不清。法律规范的概念可以界定为法律文本中表述某主体在一定条件下对其他主体就某客体当为某类行为的条文所表示的意义。以此定义观之,在现有法律规范权威定义框架下建构的法律规范结构理论,论述的其实是复数法律规范间的复合结构,而不是法律规范的结构。
