浅谈腐败的法制遏制

反对和防止腐败是全党、全国的一项重大的政治任务。本文通过总结腐败问题的现状及其危害,从思想观念蜕化,对腐败问题查处不力,廉政制度建设不健全等几个方面深入分析了腐败问题屡禁不止的原因。并从加强法制建设入手,提出要加大对腐败的法律制裁力度以提高腐败的"成本",加大公权运用的透明度,加强反腐败体制、机制创新,加强监督管理工作,建立群众反腐败机制,从而有效遏制腐败问题的发生。     

The Ethics of Plea Bargaining in International Criminal Trials

The paper argues that contemporary theoretical and philosophical concerns relating to the practice of plea bargaining in international trials for crimes such as genocide should be seen in the broader context of the perceived legitimacy of international trial justice. The paper questions the capacity of international trial structures to deliver a form of truth which contributes to justice suggesting that the legitimacy of the truth available is conditioned by ideology and normative practice. The paper suggests that the key to transforming international trial justice lies in promoting the link between trial ideology and the perceived moral legitimacy of its outcomes through the exercise of judicial discretionary power.

浅论中国法制史研究对象的范围

中国法制史的研究目前亟待解决的问题之一就是研究对象的范围的确定问题。中国法制史的研究对象范围不应当仅仅局限在法律制度史领域内,政治制度、经济制度、教育制度、救灾制度等强制性规则体系的发展历史也应当纳入中国法制史的研究视野之内。此外,由于中国法制史和中国法律思想史、中国法学史存在一定的交叉,所以在研究中国法制史时,还有必...     

关于人民监督员选任机制的思考

现行的人民监督员选任机制存在选任范围过窄、选任资格条件规定不明、选任程序缺乏规范和透明度等问题,不利于人民监督员制度的健康发展。因此,需从拓宽人民监督员的选任范围、明确人民监督员业务素质的标准、改革人民监督员的选任程序等方面予以完善。     

设立中公司独立性问题探讨

2011年颁布实施的《最高人民法院关于适用〈中国人民共和国公司法〉若干问题的规定(三)》(以下简称《公司法解释(三)》)第1条至第5条对公司设立阶段发生的债权债务做出了规定,填补了《公司法》立法的不足。司法解释的出台使得债权人的利益得到最大限度的保护,有利于交易安全的维护。但是对于设立中公司的地位,司法解释并没有给出定义,学界对此争论不下,赋予设立中公司形式上独立的法律地位,有利于维护设立中公司自身的合法独立利益。     

EXAMINING THE GENERALITY OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT–CRIME ASSOCIATION

This article examines whether the relationship between unemployment and criminal offending depends on the type of crime analyzed. We rely on fixed‐effects regression models to assess the association between changes in unemployment status and changes in violent crime, property crime, and driving under the influence (DUI) over a 6‐year period. We also examine whether the type of unemployment benefit received moderates the link to criminal behavior. We find significantly positive effects of unemployment on property crime but not on other types of crime. Our estimates also suggest that unemployed young males commit less crime while participating in active labor market programs when compared with periods during which they receive standard unemployment benefits.     

Does the Restrictiveness of State Tax and Expenditure Limitations Affect State Revenues and Expenditures?

This paper examines the impact of tax and expenditure limitations (TELs) on state governments. We examine how TELs are represented in empirical modeling. We compare and contrast an index of state-level TEL restrictiveness to a simple dummy variable approach. We use a panel of data for the 50 U.S. states to capture changes in state TELs and a generalized method of moments (GMM) dynamic panel estimator. We find that results vary across the two methods of capturing the presence of TELs, suggesting that simple dummy variables are not sufficient to capture the heterogeneity of TELs across states and over time.     

‘A lucid stream of everywhereness’ in Ben Okri's Wild (2012): A postmodern perspective

Abstract

The argument begins by claiming that the phrase, ‘a clear lucid stream of everywhereness,’ taken from Ben Okri's The landscapes within, at once encapsulates the postmodern theories of complexity and relativity and evokes a cosmic dimension and a striving for Dasein [authentic human existence] that inform his poetic vision in his latest collection of poetry, Wild (2012). It proceeds to argue for the complexity inherent in the notion ‘postmodernism’; then discusses selected poems in terms of modernity's curious dilemma of ‘just now’ negating the preceding ‘just now’, that the French philosopher Jean-François Leotard talks of, treating recurring motifs of change, transformation and continuing presence. This includes a discussion of the two poems, dedicated to the memory of Okri's late mother and father respectively, that bookend the anthology, contextualising them within postmodernity. The article concludes by re-invoking its own abstract title in ‘Towards the Sublime’ in terms of Leotard's definition, before briefly assessing the import of Okri's latest collection of poems.     

党内反腐倡廉法规研究

自1938年党内法规一词提出后,不同时期研判党内法规范围的标准不同.2013年《中国共产党党内法规制定条例》公布后,党内法规的范围应当按照其规定的法定标准判断.腐败是国家公职人员利用公共权力实施的违反法律规范的滥用权力、谋取私利、有社会危害性、严重损害公共利益的行为.党内反腐败法规应在狭义上使用,仅指党中央、中央纪律检查委员会、中央各部门层面制定的对腐败行为本身加以规制的党内法规.
