*改革开放以来我国农地制度的变迁及政策建议

改革开放以来,我国确立了农民对土地的承包经营权,2002年颁布的《中华人民共和国农村土地承包法》规定农民对土地的承包经营权可以依法采取转让、出租、入股、抵押或者其他方式流转,扩大了农民对土地的承包经营和使用权限。与此同时,还逐步完善了国家对农民土地的征用办法和程序以及对农民的补偿安置办法。我国土地制度变革的总体特征是在政府主导下,农民积极参与推动,扩大了农民使用土地的自由度,增加了土地使用的灵活性。在新的土地制度变革过程中,应进一步确保农民对土地的产权、完善征地制度和规范土地流转。

安南黎朝使臣在中国的活动与管待——兼谈明清封建朝贡制度给官民带来的负担

明清封建王朝与安南黎朝保持较密切的宗藩关系,安南黎朝使臣出使中国明清王朝肩负各种使命,明清对黎朝使臣按规格管待,双方基本维持友好关系。但是明清尤其是明朝为保持华夷等级关系和"万国来朝"的虚荣,造成国库损耗、百姓烦劳也是值得深思的。     

经济手段在南部非洲发展共同体环境管理中的运用及启示

南部非洲发展共同体为根除贫穷和解决生态恶化问题需要寻求以可持续发展为导向、以促进共同实现经济效益和环境效益为目标的环境管理手段。作为一种市场激励手段,经济手段进入南共体环境管理的视野,并被广泛地运用于这一区域土地资源的管理和使用,水资源的使用、分配和管理以及工业部门中。南共体有关环境管理中经济手段运用的实践对于我国环境管理的革新同样具有一定的借鉴意义。     

A model of local crime displacement

In this paper, we develop a two-region model of crime spatial displacement. For high crime regions, the crime rate in one locality is negatively influenced by the crime rate of the other. The magnitude of the displacement depends on the distance between the two regions and on their relative size. For given sized neighbors, a closer distance implies greater displacement. When one region is larger, relative to the other, this increases the displacement, holding distance fixed. Examples show that the displacement from the treated to the adjacent areas can be small, if the relative size of the former is small. Nonetheless, the displacement can be large for other nearby areas, provided that the treated region is relatively big. Neglecting this result can cause an upward bias at the estimated impact of a policy. We also analyze the consequences for the design of public policies.     

人民检察院提起环境公益诉讼的职能定位研究

当前制约人民检察院提起环境公益诉讼最突出的问题,是我国法律尚未明确检察机关提起环境公益诉讼的职能。人民检察院提起环境公益诉讼,既缘于公民、环保组织、行政机关的局限性,也是人民检察院履行其职能的必然要求。人民检察院提起环境公益诉讼具有形式正当性和实质正当性。不断完善的立法将克服法条主义的缺陷,为人民检察院提起环境公益诉讼提供法制保障。     

中国中亚能源通道与中国能源安全

中国的改革开放带来国民经济的快速发展,同时也带来对能源,尤其是石油和天然气资源的巨大需求。中亚及其相邻的里海地区有着丰富的石油天然气资源。毗邻的地理位置为中国与中亚国家能源合作创造了得天独厚的条件。当前中国与中亚地区已经修建了多条石油和天然气管道。这些管道有助于保障中国能源供应,但也面临一系列新的问题和压力。中国中亚能源通道的未来前景广阔,但需要提前做好风险研判与科学规划。     

Integrating Europe’s PSI re-use rules - Demystifying the maze

Despite various studies evincing the huge potential locked up in public sector information (PSI), this potential is far from being fully exploited. To a large extent, this failure is caused by the immensely complex legal labyrinth surrounding PSI re-use. This complexity works in two ways: public sector bodies do not comply with the regulatory framework and re-users do not avail themselves of the legal instruments offered, resulting in unexploited economic potential. What makes the legal framework so complex is the transcending nature of PSI re-use, as it blends four areas of law - freedom of information law, ICT law, intellectual property law and competition law - that, throughout the years, have been regulated at a European, national and even at a sectoral level, but in isolation. The fundamental impact that ICT developments have on our society, subsequently also rocking the legal rules and underlying principles and axioms, makes the picture even more complicated. Taking the maximization of utility of PSI as a starting point in this article, I will anatomize each of these legal frameworks and demonstrate how they interact, culminating in a conceptual framework that may help public sector bodies and re-users, and courts where necessary, to apply and rely on the rules involved and to bring to the surface areas for policy action, both at the national and European level.     

EU update

European national news

The regular article tracking developments at the national level in key European countries in the area of IT and communications - co-ordinated by Herbert Smith LLP and contributed to by firms across Europe. This column provides a concise alerting service of important national developments in key European countries. Part of its purpose is to compliment the Journal’s feature articles and briefing notes by keeping readers abreast of what is currently happening "on the ground" at a national level in implementing EU level legislation and international conventions and treaties. Where an item of European National News is of particular significance, CLSR may also cover it in more detail in the current or a subsequent edition.
