宋代公文繁荣原因初探

宋代公无论从数量、名篇还是从作队伍来讲，都达到了登峰造极的地步，对后代产生了深远的影响。宋代公的繁荣，与其崇抑武的国策和科举考试内容的改变、科举考试取士数量的增加密切相关；同时，与人士大夫的精神和整个社会思潮的嬗变也密切相关。北宋和南宋长期存在的竞争和派系斗争，使人以论事的现象非常普遍。这对以化事、长于说理、重实轻虎的公风格的形成和对公的繁荣和发展也是不可忽视的原因。

试论我国的关税强制措施及其完善

关税强制措施作为我国海关对纳税义务人所采取的具体行政行为,是保障关税顺利征收的重要手段。但是,我国现行的关税强制措施无论是法律定位还是实践运用都较薄弱。因此,对我国《海关法》进行修改与完善,规范与调整现行关税强制措施,尽快出台一部《海关实施关税强制措施管理办法》迫在眉睫。     

马克思主义法律思想中国化研究论纲——写在《现代法学》首任主编黎国智教授80寿辰之际

推动马克思主义的中国化,把握社会主义法治理念,弘扬法治精神,应当认真研究马克思主义法律思想的中国化。在国外,马克思主义法律思想研究已经上升到了一个新台阶;在中国,通过多年马克思主义法律思想研究的铺垫,已经具备了更进一步研究的坚实基础。但是,马克思主义法律思想中国化研究必须有独特的思路、完善的内容设计,并应该考虑到新世纪新阶段马克思主义法律思想中国化面临的新机遇和新挑战。

Democracy, rule of law and human rights protection under gradually developed constitutionalism

With the shifting of the economic pattern and the developing of administrative law, the modern constitutionalism of China has adopted a progressive development process. Over 20 years, the development of democracy, the rule of law and the human rights protection clearly illustrate this point. For the gradually developing constitutionalism, the theory of limited rational is a theoretical basis, the stability of society is a social basis, the changing economic system is a economic basis, and Confucianism is a cultural basis. Constitutionalism of China should continue to go in such an active, steady and gradual way.

Managing commercial risks in open source software licensing

Legal context: The article reviews the commercial risk allocation clauses intypical open source licence terms and discusses their enforceabilityand implications. Key points: The enforceability of warranty disclaimers and limitation ofliability clauses in common open source licence terms is questionable,particularly in a cross-border context, and commercial licensorsshould take additional steps to protect themselves from down-streamrisks. Practical significance: Open source software presents a number of unusual commercialissues, because it is available free of charge and the providerstry to disclaim warranties and liabilities. End users and resellershave to adjust their own in- and out-licensing models to accommodatethis situation.     

"大国际私法观"辩正

大国际私法观缺乏学科学理论的支持,对其所负任务的认识也不够清晰科学.国际私法的范围应当根据实际的需要来加以确定.当前,国际私法的主要目的是解决在涉外民商事交往中或在处理涉外民商事争议时所出现的法律问题,因此,它的范围应当从处理涉外民商事案件的过程加以判断和确定.我国传统大国际私法观所包含的内容也应据此作出相应的修正.     

论行政成文法主义的危机

行政成文法是现代行政法的主流,进入21世纪后,随着社会格局和法治理念的变化,行政成文法主义的理论基础和实践状态已岌岌可危.但这一问题并未引起我国学界的广泛关注.正是基于这样的状况,我们对行政成文法主义的危机进行了较为系统的探讨.认为其存在诸多先天的不足,这些不足正是导致行政成文法危机的诱因.行政成文法危机的产生有着深层次的原因,这从国家权力全球化倾向、利益组合多元化倾向等角度可得到佐证.为了应对行政成文法主义危机的客观现实,我国行政法治的走向应有新的进路,包括行政法理念符合时代精神、行政法治大系统相对开放、行政法体系予以分解、行政法渊源多元化.
