同性婚姻与我国区际私法中的公共秩序保留

目前国际社会中同性同居者争取合法地位的运动已经在一些国家或地区取得成功.各国面临是否承认外国或外法域同性同居关系的局面.随着我国对外开放的深入,我国法院将来也会面临这些问题.如果一概拒绝承认基于外法域法律成立的同性同居关系,可能不利于保护依附该关系而成立的其他民事法律关系,因此,应当区分不同情况.区际私法中尤其需要慎用公共秩序保留制度,当同性同居关系仅仅是作为其他问题的先决问题时,我国大陆法院可考虑适当承认该关系的有效性.     

Adaptation and Appropriation on the Colonial Frontier: Indigenous Leadership in the Colombian Chocó, 1670–1808

This article explores the consequences for the native population of the Colombian Chocó of the emergence, over the course of the eighteenth century, of an elite of caciques and indios mandones or principales whose functions of powers far exceeded those of the warrior chiefs that had traditionally acted as leaders of their people. Appointed for the purpose of facilitating the collection of tribute and the supply of labour to European settlers, caciques and mandones were almost universally rejected by native communities during the early phases of Spanish colonisation (c. 1630–1690), and they disappear from the historical record after Independence. Eighteenth‐century sources, however, not only record the existence of a clearly defined elite of mandones or principales in villages across the region, but show these individuals engaging actively with the colonial authorities, on behalf of their communities, at local and audiencia levels. This article argues that, at a time of a much strengthened European presence in the region, caciques and mandones came to understand their roles in ways that were entirely different from those intended by the Spanish, and in so doing acquired the legitimacy that had eluded their seventeenth‐century predecessors. Far from serving merely as intermediaries between settlers and indigenous populations, indios mandones acted as negotiators on behalf of the indigenous population, whose task was to defend and/or advance the interests of the communities they had been appointed to control.

Australia's Political Institutions and the Corruption of Public Opinion1

This article explores structural causes for the decline in the quality of Australia's political and policy conversations. Three are nominated. The first concerns the changing role of the major party organisations. These no longer contribute to agenda setting; they are no longer forums for activist and interest mobilisation; they no longer mobilise and cue a mass base. The second structural change concerns the rise in the role of the media. This is now the primary bridge between the formal political system and the surrounding society, a role for which it is singularly ill‐equipped. The third change concerns the misalignment between the formal political system and Australian society. The formal system was formed in the early twentieth century when Australian society was broadly divided by class allegiance. Those days are long gone. Class has decomposed. A variety of new concerns differentiate and pluralise social attitudes. Possible remedies are then discussed.     

"公共利益"问题话要

随着我国宪法对公共利益的明确提出,法律化、规范化公共利益成为迫在眉睫的工作.公共利益就其源头来讲应源于一种区别于个人利益的群体利益的产生,这种利益是群体意识的一种体现.随着私有制建立、国家产生,才产生了真正意义上的公共利益.伴随着现代民族国家的建立,来自于民众的公共意见成为国家是否具有合法性的决定因素.公共利益的特点和现今社会的历史背景决定了公益问题在法律研究中占有很特殊的地位,现在仍局限在理论层面的讨论,只有"公益"理论日渐完善,才能与实践良好地结合,最终成为维护法律秩序良性运行的有力手段之一.     

传媒对公共情绪宣导抚慰功能的研究设计

大众传媒作为社会危机的“调节器,”在帮助危机中的民众树立正确的心态、减缓并摆脱焦虑与不安的折磨、唤起他们内心的自信等方面,发挥了它自身的影响力。媒介到底对公共情绪的哪些部分产生了作用,如何运用情绪心理学进行解释,这是我们所要关注的。情绪与个体发展、社会化问题、生活色调、认知活动、健康等方面密切相关。这些关系都是建构新型的大众传播对公共情绪影响理论模型的基础,与人的个体发展密切相关。     

关于治安拘留与罚款执行中相关问题的思考

治安拘留与罚款是治安管理处罚中经常适用的两种处罚方式,如何执行该两种处罚,已成为当前公安工作的一个重大问题。为了确保拘留与罚款的执行,应当深刻理会有关法律和司法解释的规定精神,充分考虑被处罚对象的实际情况,尊重和保护被处罚对象应当享有的权利,同时对有关法律、规章进行修改。     

论社会治安防控体系的概念、属性及结构模式

社会治安防控体系是指公安机关依据系统论，运用社会控制理论和系统工程方法，整合内部警力与社会资源，以社区警务为基础，以全时空巡逻防控为基本勤务方式，以刑侦防控为首要环节，形成统一指挥、互相配合、信息共享、协调运转，集打击、防范、管理、控制、服务等多种功能为一体，能对社会治安实施综合控制的警务工作系统。其基本属性是系统论，表现在整体性、层次性与开放性三个方面。社会治安防控体系的结构模式可归结为北京模式、廊坊模式和昆明模式三类。     

美国公益诉讼制度及其启示

公益诉讼是一种新型的诉讼模式。作为公益诉讼的创始国,美国已形成健全的公益诉讼制度。我国引进公益诉讼制度时应借鉴和参考美国公益诉讼制度。
