人民法院主动参与执行和解研究——以社会管理创新为视角

法院参与社会管理创新的关键是创新纠纷解决制度,执行和解制度的设计初衷是为了更好解决执行难问题,但是目前执行和解的法律规定似乎不尽合理。为了更好地适应执行需要,应当在对目前执行和解制度进行重构的同时,充分发挥法院的司法能动性。     

经济分析范式下辩诉交易之证成

经济分析已经成为法学的一个重要研究范式。与理论界对辩诉交易的诸多纯粹法理与法实证探讨相异,博弈论、优势成本原则、有限正义理论为辩诉交易的引证提供了一个全新的视野。     

In defence of FTAs: from purity to pragmatism in East Asia

This paper discusses the shift in East Asia from a focus on multilateral trade liberalization through the WTO to a pragmatic approach since 1999 favouring bilateral and regional FTAs while continuing to support the WTO system. It is argued that such FTAs are a second-best option compared to WTO agreements. However, while economists may seek the ideal solution, governments will focus on the politically attainable, especially as new multilateral agreements require lengthy negotiations beyond the life span of governments. As the WTO negotiating process has become bogged down, even once sceptical governments in East Asia are turning to FTAs. It is contended that such FTAs could form a lattice network within and across regions. In this context, the paper discusses the underlying security rationale for the conclusion of FTAs, highlighting the nexus between security interests and international economic policy in East Asia.     

BOT项目协议的法律性质

BOT是一种新型的私人直接投资方式。BOT项目协议是东道国政府与项目公司之间关于项目开发、运营和移交各阶段彼此权利义务关系的协议。BOT项目协议的法律性质,是解决其法律适用问题的前提,直接决定着BOT项目中各方当事人的法律角色。本文认为BOT项目协议不是所谓的国家契约,而是国内法契约,并在比较BOT项目协议与行政合同的基础上,提出BOT项目协议是类似与政府采购合同的特殊的民事合同。     

竞业禁止协议之下企业商业秘密的保护——对74份竞业禁止案件司法文书的整理与研究

通过整理和研究有关竞业禁止的案例发现:就保护商业秘密而言,商业秘密侵权之诉难度更大、胜算更低,企业更倾向于依据竞业禁止协议提起违约之诉。但在经济补偿金和竞业禁止协议的效力关系上,法院倾向于认定未约定或未支付经济补偿金的竞业禁止协议无效。鉴于占据主导地位的"无效说"使得用人单位商业秘密权的保护陷入两难境地,且实质上并未有效保护劳动者的择业权,笔者赞同"有效说"之法律设计,允许用人单位和劳动者进行协议补充以确认竞业禁止协议之效力。     

论国际商事仲裁中瑕疵仲裁协议的法律适用

有效的仲裁协议是进行国际商事仲裁的基础,实践中瑕疵仲裁协议的出现是不可避免的。瑕疵仲裁协议的有效性取决于瑕疵仲裁协议所适用的法律。从瑕疵仲裁协议特点出发,瑕疵仲裁协议法律适用的方法具有特殊性。必须从其法律适用的角度一方面确定瑕疵仲裁协议的有效性,另一方面寻求完善和解决瑕疵仲裁协议问题的方法,最终减小因仲裁协议存在瑕疵给国际商事仲裁造成的阻碍。     

通讯企业劳务用工管理探析

通讯企业用工形式多样,劳务用工是其当前主要的用工形式之一。这种用工形式一方面为企业减少了人工成本的支出,提高了人员管理效率,另一方面也给企业带来了一定的法律风险。如何完善劳务用工机制,避免不必要的劳动纠纷,使劳务派遣人员的既得利益不受到损害,促进企业健康发展,是通讯企业亟待解决的问题。     

从仲裁协议效力的认定看意思自治原则之发展

我国仲裁法严格限定了仲裁协议的内容,其后最高人民法院的复函、司法解释又采取了较为宽松的标准,充分尊重了当事人的意愿及其程序主体地位,也与国际上支持仲裁的立法趋势相适应。     

The impact of plurilateral trade agreements on developing countries – to participate or not to participate?

In the wake of the impasse in the Doha Development Round of multilateral trade talks, sector-specific plurilateral trade agreements (PTAs) have been gaining traction. However, PTAs mostly appeal to developed countries, with the uptake among developing countries (including least-developed countries) being very limited. This article investigates the factors contributing to such a phenomenon, whether there is indeed merit in developing countries playing a more active role in PTAs and how they might be encouraged to do so. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were conducted with specific attention being given to the effects, on a selection of developing countries, of participation in four PTAs: the Trade in Services Agreement, the Government Procurement Agreement, the Environmental Goods Agreement and the Information Technology Agreement II. Among the findings was that although, according to the qualitative analysis, policymakers are generally disinterested in the four PTAs because they are not aligned to the countries’ economic interests or they threaten policy space, the quantitative analysis revealed that gains could often be made from more active participation in these agreements. This clearly points to a research gap and highlights the need for more in-depth analysis of the potential of PTAs in the developing world.     

‘The association that dissociates’ – narratives of local political resistance in Kosovo and the delayed implementation of the Brussels Agreement

ABSTRACT

The existing literature on the EU’s transformative role in the Balkans looks at EU conditionality as a unidirectional system of rewards that is expected to motivate local elites to comply with EU rules. This article raises a different question: how do local actors bypass the implementation phase of EU conditionality and what kind of political resistance narratives do they use for this purpose? The analysis attempts to tackle these inter-related questions by focusing on the delayed implementation of the Brussels Agreement between Belgrade and Pristina as a case study, using the interpretive method of narrative analysis. The article aims to link fieldwork empirics with theoretical discussions in the field of EU compliance literature by stressing the importance of local actors’ resistance to EU incentives. Three levels of analysis will be conducted in order to address the research question: (1) mapping different types of actors at the local level and stressing their heterogeneity; (2) understanding how local resistance to EU pressure evolved in the period 2013–2016; and (3) showing how their policy narratives influenced the implementation phase and the maintenance of the status quo. In conclusion, the analysis shows that the EU’s mediation strategy of ‘constructive ambiguity’ favours local actors’ political resistance, particularly in the implementation phase. The main findings show that ‘dividers’ outnumber ‘connectors’ in local actors’ narratives, thus strengthening political resistance to EU pressure.
