State-building or state-capture? Institutional exports,local reception and hybridity of reforms in post-war Kosovo

ABSTRACT

Post-war Kosovo has been the subject of a highly intrusive international state-building project, including an unprecedented influx of international administrators, assistance and funds. However, it increasingly bears the hallmark of a weak and captured state. This special issue contributes theoretical and empirical insights that shed light on possible explanations, difficulties and prospects of the state-building project in Kosovo. Theoretically, we investigate how international and local explanations play out, interact and gain dominance over each other; highlight the local factors that shape the experience of state-building; and focus on the hybridity of institution- and state-building on the ground. Empirically, we take stock of two decades of international state-building activities and one decade of independent statehood by providing long-term and in-depth analysis of specific areas of reform – municipal governance, state bureaucracy, normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo, education, creation of armed forces, security sector reforms and reception of Salafi ideologies. Such time-sensitive, case-nuanced and empirically heavy analysis enables the authors to go back and forth between the role of international activities, domestic strategies of resistance and evidence of hybrid reforms in order to test the role of competing explanations.

美国普通法婚姻的起源和兴衰

自9世纪到1563年、10世纪到1753年,普通法婚姻分别在欧洲大陆和英格兰得到了教会的承认。在殖民地时期,英属的部分北美殖民地和西班牙属的殖民地予以承认,英属的另一部分殖民地和法属殖民地未予以承认。美国建国之后到19世纪中后期,大多数州承认了普通法婚姻。到了2005年,只有11个州和哥伦比亚特区予以承认。不复承认的理由主要是:人口集中、交通改善、政府公务人员或牧师不再短缺;承认普通法婚姻危害交易安全、危害种族健康、诱发欺诈行为、危害统计数据的准确;非婚生子女地位得到改善。     

人的全面发展理论及其当代现实性维度

人的全面发展是马克思主义全部话语的价值指向。人的全面发展是在现存历史和现实条件下不断发展的动态过程。当代三大战略奠定了社会主义初级阶段人的全面发展价值目标的现实基础:共同富裕为本质的共同发展战略;三大文明整体推进的协调发展战略;人和自然关系和谐为核心的可持续发展战略。     

初探所有权型分时度假的基本法律问题--兼论对传统不动产所有权理论的发展

源自于法国的“分时度假“作为一种新型旅游消费方式近年来在我国出现,并逐渐区分出两种类型:购买所有权类型和购买使用权类型.所有权型分时度假作为一种特殊的所有权形式,其性质应为时限所有权或期限所有权;所有权型分时度假的法律特征表现为削弱的绝对性、有限的排他性、期限性、一体性、时段登记的技术性和权利主体身份多重性;所有权型分时度假的出现是对传统所有权理论的发展和完善.     

训诫与征罚:论傣族习惯法对非婚性关系的社会控制

傣族男女青年发生婚前性行为被视为神所不容 ,未婚先孕更被看作是一种触犯鬼神的现象 ,当事人要受到村寨头人的各种惩罚 ,还要祭祀寨神勐神以求神灵的宽恕。被社会所接受的性行为是与婚姻的缔结紧密相连的 ,男女婚姻的结合是以祭神之后才为合法的 ,这已成为两性结合的必经手续和仪式。婚内外的界限分明产生了关于男女性关系的行为规范及其道德观念 ,已婚男女与配偶以外的人发生性关系也将受到地方法规的严厉惩处。

Eu merger control and the compatibility test:a review of recent developments

The compatibility test contained in Article 2 of the Merger Control Regulation (MCR) is at the very heart of EU merger control, for it determines whether a concentration with a community dimension is deemed compatible or incompatible with the common market. Incompatibility can lead to prohibition of a concentration, although this is rare. The paper reviews the recent developments to the conditions of the test itself as well as the analytical methods employed to determine compatibility. Concerning the former, the new foreseeable dominance interpretation, put forward by the European Commission and made law by the Court of First Instance (CFI), is explored. This new variant of the dominance condition is important on its own right but it is also of major interest because of the explicit legal requirement placed on the Commission to assess the future likelihood of abusive behaviour by the merging parties in its prospective analysis. This is not the case with the original dominance compatibility condition. The unexpected but important clarification by the CFI of the notion of substantial part of the common market, as contained in the express wording of the compatibility test, is also commented upon. Concerning the determination of compatibility, the Commission's controversial employment in certain conglomerate concentrations of the range effects of competitive harm theory is examined, as is the need to take cognisance of merger specific efficiencies when determining if a merger increases societal welfare. The EU is making progress toward such an efficiencies assessment as part of the compatibility determination. EU merger control – and hence the compatibility test – do not exist in a vacuum. The EU has played a major role in shaping the new multilateral architecture and its goal of increasing international convergence in competition matters. This in turn has led the EU to rethink the nature of the compatibility test. For example, it has sought to evaluate the dominance condition of the compatibility test with the substantial lessening of competition (SLC) approach used by some other regulators, like the US. The paper concludes by looking at a fundamental issue that has arisen from recent CFI judgements and the GE/Honeywell merger: the competence of the Commission, or more accurately the Merger Task Force (MTF), to carry out the compatibility determination. Proposals are outlined so as to ensure that the Commission's prospective analysis in a concentration case meets the requisite legal standard. It is essential for this standard to be met if EU merger control is to remain credible. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

股权结构与公司绩效——相对托宾Q视角下的实证研究

借鉴有关股权结构与公司绩效的研究成果,对股权结构与公司绩效关系作出一定的基本假设,再从相对托宾Q的角度对这一关系进行的实证研究表明,国有股比例、法人股比例与公司绩效呈“U”型关系,流通股比例与公司绩效呈显著性负相关,同时股权集中度与公司绩效呈显著性正相关。这一研究结论对优化我国上市公司股权结构,进而改善公司绩效具有重要的启示意义。
