用新安全观的视角看加强国际警务合作的必要

冷战后,中国提出以“互信、互利、平等、协作”为核心的新安全观,努力营造长期稳定、安全可靠的国际安全环境。新安全观需要新思维。在以合作求安全、以协商求安全,建立新的安全机制维护安全和坚持反霸反恐并重的思维。新安全观强调重视非传统安全威胁的因素,而国际警务合作是对付恐怖主义和跨国犯罪的有力武器之一,因此,应该用新安全观的视角来看加强国际警务合作的必要。     

和谐社会呼唤立法平等

和谐社会的核心问题是协调好人与人的利益关系,利益关系在法律上表现为权利义务关系。当前我国出现一些不和谐现象的一个重要原因是立法上的权利义务分配不均。只有立法贯彻普遍平等的原则,赋予每个人平等的权利和义务,做到立法平等,才能使我们的社会利益趋于均衡,实现社会和谐。     

雇主不当劳动行为的民事救济——基于我国和美国不当劳动行为救济制度之比较

我国《工会法》第52条规定的责令雇主承担不当劳动行为的民事责任,与美国《国家劳资关系法》第10(c)条的规定看起来很相似,相比之下,这一规范在美国劳动法的实践中很有效,在我国却极少被适用,解释方面也存在较大的分歧。美国是世界上最早创设不当劳动行为救济制度的国家,从《瓦格纳法》规定的雇主不当劳动行为的禁止规范及救济措施,到《塔夫托—哈特莱法》将适用对象扩大到工会和雇员,在雇用自由原则和劳资自治模式的背景下,其演变始终以保护雇员团结权的松紧程度和收放态度为线索。我国《工会法》现正处于第三次修改阶段,适时检讨第52条的解释和适用的障碍,还可以解决其与《劳动合同法》规范的竞合问题。     

Love and the State: Gay Marriage in Spain

On 30 June 2005, the Spanish Parliament approved Law 13/2005, which amends the Civil Code to permit same-sex marriage. This formal equality measure put Spain in the spotlight of the international media. It is the culmination of a series of developments spanning from the last years of the Franco regime (which ended in 1975), through the enactment of anti-discrimination measures in 1995, to the recent fight for kinship recognition. It also follows a recent shift, from 1998 to 2005, towards the enactment of same-sex partnership laws at regional level, the approval of same-sex marriage and finally, the approval of a ‹gender identity law’ (2007). This legislative note assesses the context in which the new law on same-sex marriage has been enacted. I argue that although same-sex marriage has been represented by many activists and politicians in Spain as a gender neutral contract, it has the potential for differential impacts on lesbians and gay men, and further research and debates are needed in this area.     

论法律的安定性

法律安定性不仅是法律自身的逻辑自恰性、连续性和体系化,更应该从法律与社会生活的适应关系中去理解。法律须被明确规定、实用而且保持相对不变,否则,法律平等、合目的性将无法实现。在转型社会法律安定性是在应对法律移植与本土资源、法律与方法和法外空间等紧张关系中实现的。     

20世纪40年代罗家伦对近代中国民族国家建构与民族发展问题的理论探讨

20世纪40年代,罗家伦顺应中国走向现代化的趋势,从民族与经济、政治、教育、人口、宗教、法律制度、语言文字、地理环境等方面关系的角度探讨了近代中国民族国家建构问题,形成了较为系统的民族发展理论。罗家伦将中国民族国家的建构与现代化联系起来,他所注重的工业化、科学化、民主化以及人的现代化,实质上都是现代化的基本内容。他的民族国家建构理论的主流,正是中华民族在落后的历史条件下,希望通过借鉴世界各国先进的技术和经验,通过自己的发展和创造,赶上先进国家、实现民族现代化的具体体现。

Pubertal Development, Choice of Friends, and Smoking Initiation among Adolescent Males

Prior research has indicated that pubertal development and peer associations are important determinants of adolescent smoking behavior. However, more remains to be learned about why these variables matter or how they may be related to one another in ways that lead to the initiation of smoking. Using contractual data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we consider the relationship between early pubertal development and associations with close friends who smoke, and smoking initiation among male youths. The results of the study reveal a link between advanced pubertal development and the initiation of smoking among boys, but we discover that the effect is indirect, mediated by a greater propensity of sexually mature males to forge friendships with peers who smoke. We also find that this propensity is greatest among the youngest adolescents in the sample, suggesting that the age of the respondent conditions the effects of pubertal development on the formation of friendships with peers who smoke.(Ph.D., The University of Texas at Austin), is an Assistant Professor at Washington State University at Vancouver.

可持续发展伦理观辨正

可持续发展问题不单是人与自然关系应当如何的问题,归根结底是一个怎样确立人与社会和谐关系的问题.无疑地,应当对可持续发展伦理观作一番仔细辨正.对于发展中的中国来说,在平等与发展之间,孰轻孰重、孰先孰后,应有符合自己国情的选择,不能离开社会现实而抽象地谈论所谓"人与自然的平等"问题.     

略论债权平等原则

债权具有相容性和平等性,不仅在同一标的物上可以同时并存数个债权,而且数个债权人对同一债务人先后发生数个普通债权时,其效力一律平等,不因其成立先后而有效力上的优劣,是为债权平等原则.债权平等原则是体现民法上的平等原则和债之相对性原则的一项重要具体原则,为债权与物权区分说的基本构成要素之一.但在现代民法上,由于债权物权化趋势、优先权制度的设立以及协调公平与效益的法律价值冲突等因素,债权平等性原则正在被打破.即便如此,债权平等原则在债法领域的基础地位并未发生根本改变.
