非法侵入住宅罪保护法益探究——借鉴国外学说视角下的反思

非法侵入住宅罪作为对于公民住宅的侵犯的犯罪,在现实中,何种程度侵入住宅的行为在刑法上侵犯了什么样的刑法法益,是学者和司法判例一直争论不休的一个问题。在规范刑法学的视域下,在研究国外各种观点的基础上,对于非法侵入住宅罪的认定,应该将其保护法益认定为保护个人住宅的安宁,并且,在分析个案时,必须结合规范违反的判断。

陕北乡村的“挣功名”现象及其与农村革命的关联

由于科举之废及社会动荡,一种因攀升无望而出现的功名变异现象,出现在民国前期的陕北乡村社会里。这种现象一方面打断了传统社会的局面,造成社会流动的歧变,增加了社会的不安定因素;另一方面却形成了一种较为独特的社会文化生态,这又为随后陕北乃至西北地区革命运动的兴起提供了客观条件。

Can the best interests of young people be met in residential care? An Ireland case study

The search for factors essential to the achievement of congruence in residential youth care services in Ireland led to the discovery of five critical success factors, each of which affects all three organizational levels of such services. These critical factors included: needs-led, not regulation-driven, care; senior managers with workforce responsibility require domain expertise; shared vision and purpose across three organizational levels; practice-led planning and service development; and bureaucratic policies and practices that are congruent with corporate parenting obligations to provide developmental care that serves each child's best interests.     

India’s South-South Cooperation in Human Resource Development

ABSTRACT

The article reviews several of the main modalities of India’s human resources’ involvement with other developing economies, and especially those in Africa. These involve the provision of long-term scholarships and short-term professional training awards. Comparison is made, in the case of international students, between the scholarship and privately funded categories, and also between those from Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth countries. Comparable data on such assisted foreign student flows are also offered in respect of South Africa. Other modalities of India’s HRD engagement with Africa are analysed, including those associated with the India-African Forum Summits (IAFS). India also does capacity building through non-state actors, notably nongovernment organisations and the private sector. Furthermore, it promotes cultural diplomacy through its Indian Cultural Centres and Chairs of Indian Studies, though these are not restricted to developing economies. Although attention is paid to the Commonwealth dimension in these comparisons, it is acknowledged that the classification of students and countries as Commonwealth may not be as widespread or meaningful today as 60 years ago.     

Mobile Capital, Democratic Institutions, and the Public Economy in Advanced Industrial Societies

This article addresses the following questions. Is international capital mobility systematically related to reductions in the size of the public economy, as globalization theory suggests? Alternatively, do democratic institutions and processes shape the ways in which internationalization affects national policies? Specifically, I argue that the effects of capital mobility on the scope of the public economy should be conditioned by the institutional forms of societal interest representation and the formal organization of decision-making authority within the polity. Utilizing econometric analysis of 1964–1993 data from 16 nations, I find that international capital mobility has few direct effects on the scope of the public economy. However, configurations of democratic institutions fundamentally shape the domestic policy impacts of capital mobility. Where social corporatism and inclusive electoral institutions are strong and where decision-making authority within the polity is concentrated, international capital mobility is either unrelated to the scope of the public economy or positively associated with total public spending, social transfers, and public consumption. In institutional contexts of pluralist interest and exclusive electoral representation, and in polities where decision-making is dispersed, rises in capital mobility are systematically associated with rollbacks of the public sector.     

Why Is Homeownership Associated With Nonfinancial Benefits? A Path Analysis of Competing Mechanisms

Four mechanisms may underlie a homeownership effect: residential stability, perceived control, social identity, and financial interest. Path analysis of survey data collected from lower-income households suggests that the length of time lived in the dwelling and the participant's sense of control mediate the association of homeownership with civic engagement and health outcomes. The magnitude of this homeownership effect depends upon higher levels of home equity and increases after controlling for single-family detached housing. While much of the homeownership effect remains unexplained, the findings suggest that the nonfinancial benefits of owning a home are influenced by home equity and dwelling type yet are driven by residential stability and perceived control. These mechanisms could be leveraged to benefit renters.     

Child Poverty and Social Mobility: Taking the Measure of the Coalition's ‘New Approach’

Reviewing two of the latest reports by social mobility tsar, Alan Milburn and ‘social justice’ champion, Iain Duncan Smith, the article examines the politics and policy of the Coalition's fairness strategy and the jostling for position that is going on behind the scenes. Whilst continuing to pay lip service to the goal of ending child poverty, the government is seeking to redefine the problem, away from a narrow focus on relative low income. Beneath the rhetoric, the article highlights the close similarities between the ‘new’ and ‘old’ approaches, finding that the evidence behind the government's claims is unconvincing. Far from offering a ‘step‐change’ in provision, it concludes that in the new age of austerity the Coalition will struggle to make any positive progress on tackling poverty and improving the relative life chances of disadvantaged children.     

来华留学生影响因素的实证分析

中国一直被认为是世界上最大的留学生输出国,到目前为止,这一地位依然没有改变,但是被忽视的一点是,2011年中国已经成为世界第十大留学生接收国。研究发现,中国的研究与开发投入占GDP的份额、高等教育入学率,以及中国与十大来华留学生输出国的GDP差距是影响来华留学生的最主要的三大因素。但是,世界前500名大学排名中中国大学数量,在所有因素中影响作用最小。由此可见,就目前来看,相对于中国的经济增长来说,中国高等教育的质量并不是主要吸引留学生来中国学习的主要因素。但是,目的国的高等教育质量才是吸引留学生的最根本因素。因此,要进一步提升中国高等教育质量,保证我国留学生的教育的可持续发展。
