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。

占有在现代财产制度中的地位申明———一种基于动态冲突的考察

占有因其独占性、排他性以及在动产上所独具的权利外观效力,导致其负载权利与第三人利益的冲突,成为物权法调整客观公正与交易安全的关键制度.在对占有性质重新定位的前提下,通过对财产制度中占有关系的检索,可在交易各方主体的利益冲突关系中对占有概念进行理性的阐释.通过对此类占有关系的剖析,并通过对占有的性质——法益的进一步抽象,可以厘清占有中法益在财产制度中的具体法律价值.其体现为本权的冲突上属排他性冲突,保护方法上为非此即被:或保护权利或保护第三人利益.     

论小产权房与我国土地的利益分配

小产权房是一个全国热议的话题,针对小产权房问题各家学者观点纷呈。与其说小产权问题首先涉及法律问题,不如说首先涉及利益分配的问题,处理小产权房问题,也就是对整个社会资源的再分配问题。在小产权房带来的这一场变化中,受益最大的是地方政府和一些房地产开发商。未来土地制度的设计必须充分考虑我国的国情,因此,必须结合我国人口资源环境长远发展道路,思考"小产权房"问题。

The rise and fall of spin: changes of fashion in the presentation of UK politics

Spin is the current dominant form of political presentation in the UK. Politics and presentation are inseparable and before the 1980s, political presenters were less aggressive towards and more respectful of journalists as watchdogs of politics. Labour introduced spin as a defensive response to editorial hostility but since New Labour came to terms with Thatcherism, spin has been used for the offensive promotion of policy. Changes in journalism, particularly a blurring treatment of fact and opinion, were an incubatory environment for spin. Moreover, the term became part of lay language and its vocabulary is deployed as a scrutiny of politicians via ridicule and satire. Conceptually, ‘spin’ can be characterised as an exchange or contest between information and publicity, with contingencies influencing where any presentation lies on that continuum. Wherever it falls, spin demeans elected politicians and tends to reduce their status to celebrities. That reduction is a cost too high for privileging presentation over policy and ought to be reversed. Copyright © 2001 Henry Stewart Publications     

Comparing the access conditions for minimum income support in four EU member states for national,EU and non-EU citizens

This research analyses the conditions imposed on national, EU and non-EU citizens who wish to access minimum income (MI) benefits within four EU Member States, specifically within Finland, France, Ireland and Spain. The primary aim is to identify and compare the required MI access conditions. Furthermore, focus is given to the residence requisites, which are discussed in relation to relevant supranational regulations in order to detect possible multilevel implications. The paper concludes with the identification of different MI conditions, such as stricter age requisites in France and Spain. Moreover, the study of national cases allows for consideration of how the EU social protection floor works at the national level. In this regard, the restrictions that affect EU/EEA migrant jobseekers and economically inactive population groups who wish to access MI in Finland, France and Ireland show the limits of the EU minimum social assistance floor, only recognised for EU/EEA migrant workers. Finally, implications arise according to human rights instruments such as the European Social Charter, which demands that social assistance shall not be confined to nationals or to certain categories of foreigners, allowing for comparison between the different personal scopes of the equal treatment principle required by the distinct supranational levels.
