Individual-Level Data on the Victims of Nepal’s Civil War, 1996–2006: A New Data Set

This article introduces individual-level microdata on victims of violence in Nepal’s civil war (1996–2006). The data being presented in this study are unique in that they are a census—not a sample—of the known population of victims for which information could be collected. The unit of analysis is the individual victim, and the data provide information on: whether the victim was killed, injured, or disappeared; the districts and villages where they were targeted; their permanent home addresses; the circumstances of the attack (combat, extrajudicial, etc.); socioeconomic information; whether they had any affiliation to rebel groups or other political parties; identification of the perpetrator; and whether the victim was considered to be a government or Maoist informant. After describing the data, an application of the data is performed and some preliminary findings are discussed on the differences in targeting behavior between the government and the Maoist rebels.     

Metis,migrants, and the autonomy of migration

This paper interweaves an ancient conceptualization of movement and mobility with the paradigmatic case of early twentieth-century Chinese migration to the USA in order to explore migrants’ ability to both re-interpret institutional control of movement and generate identities that garner institutional and community acceptance. By not ‘settling’ migrants into the discourse of (undocumented) immigrants, the paper (i) develops a framework for the study of migrants–state interactions that goes beyond claims to citizenship and demands for rights and (ii) explores practices and means through which migrants gain access to restricted territories and maintain presence in otherwise unwelcoming communities. The paper argues that such practices explicate the autonomy of migration: a phenomenon that is constitutive to processes of political transformation and is critical to the study of state sovereignty, citizenship rights, and political agency.     

民法典视阈内宅基地使用权继承规则之构造

宅基地使用权应当被构造为可供继承之财产。宅基地使用权主体并非农户,而是作为自然人的农村居民。宅基地使用权既可为户主单独所有,亦可为户内全体家庭成员或者部分家庭成员共有。宅基地使用权人的继承人可以继承宅基地使用权或者宅基地使用权的权利份额。不过,根据《土地管理法》第62条所规定之"一户一宅"原则,继承人不得通过继承取得两项及以上宅基地使用权,亦不可借由宅基地使用权份额之继承而使其宅基地使用权所占用的宅基地面积超过省、自治区、直辖市规定的标准。继承人可以继承宅基地上房屋的所有权,但不能继承宅基地使用权,或者继承宅基地上房屋所有权后占用的宅基地面积超过省、自治区、直辖市规定标准的,继承人以宅基地上房屋所占用的宅基地或者超过标准部分的宅基地为限取得宅基地法定地上权,或曰宅基地法定建设用地使用权,但对集体土地所有权人负有给付适量土地使用金的法定债务。     

The Social Capital of Global Ties in Science: The Added Value of International Collaboration

The globalization of science is demonstrated in the mobility of scientists across national boundaries, the composition of the U.S. scientific workforce, and increased collaboration across national boundaries. While studies based on bibliometric and other data have been useful in identifying trends, collaborative clusters, and other patterns in international collaboration, they do not reveal the social dynamics behind those collaborations. This paper addresses the human and social capital factors that explain whether or not an academic researcher in science and engineering has an international collaborator. Further, through detailed statistical models, the analysis also addresses the factors that differentiate the specific resources derived from those international ties. Results show that non‐U.S. citizens are more likely to have close international collaborators, but that a range of factors explain this relationship. Further, results show that U.S. academic faculty mobilize different collaborative resources from international collaborators, versus their domestic collaborators.

农村人居环境治理的路径和方法

改善农村人居环境是建设社会主义新农村实现村容整洁的必由之路,有计划、有步骤、有选择地开展村庄整治是改善农村人居环境的一条可行路子。总结各地改善农村人居环境的成功经验,所谓村庄整治,就是立足于村庄已有房屋、设施和自然条件,通过政府帮扶与农民自主参与相结合的形式,突出乡土特色和传统文化,分期分批有序地改造、整治和建设必要的基础设施和公共设施,以低成本、低资源消耗、不增加农民负担的方式改善农村人居环境。

刑法中属人原则的立法与司法反思及重构

《刑法》第7条确立的刑事管辖原则是以"行为人国籍"为连结点的"积极的(或能动的)属人原则",然而,该条的内容是不完善的,需要立法修正。在明确第7条广义相关概念的基础上,主张以居所地身份原则来解决实践中出现的区际争议管辖案件,以有条件的三重犯罪原则来解决港澳台居民在我国领域外犯罪的适用问题;而对于属人原则中的客观上的限制,完全可以通过具体途径加以解决。     

人才流动法律约束机制研究

人才流动既是人的一项自由权利,也是人才这种人力资本作为资源的市场配置方式。但是,无论作为一项自由权利还是作为资源的市场配置方式,对其进行适当的约束都有其理论与现实的正当性,因此需要建立相应的法律机制。     

物业服务合同抗辩权的行使与限制——兼评《审理物业服务纠纷案件的解释》第5、6条

物业服务合同中,业主动辄以物业服务不符合要求为由行使抗辩权,拒交物业费。因物业服务合同的特殊性,抗辩权的行使存在许多弊端,如妨害小区业主的正常生活、妨害物业公司的正常经营、损害小区环境等。最高人民法院的《解释》第5、6条对业主抗辩权的行使与限制作了规定,对于平衡业主与物业公司的利益关系具有积极意义。但仍有必要适当强化对业主行使抗辩权的限制,如对合同主体抗辩的限制、业主单个行使抗辩权的限制,应当规定只有达到一定数量的业主同意才能行使抗辩权;通过业主委员会来行使抗辩权,将业主行使抗辩权的行为作为业主团体共同决定的事项。同时,物业公司对欠费业主行使抗辩权时,必须确保已交物业费业主的利益不受损害,不得对欠费业主停水、断电或停止小区公共服务。应当通过完善物业费收取公示制度、完善欠费催缴程序、发挥业主委员会的催缴作用、引入督促程序等,来进一步完善物业费收缴制度。
