重庆市发展低碳经济创新性研究之一——缘起、理论基础和对策框架

作为中国增长速度第三位和西部唯一的直辖市——重庆,在国家的大力扶持下,已经走上了一条赶超型的可持续工业化发展道路。但同时,我们也应该看到,重庆因为多年以来粗放型的经济增长方式,造成了资源严重的浪费与枯竭,所以如何在国际大背景下寻找资源环境和能源安全相协调的新型城市发展模型就成为了重庆,乃至全国其他城市经济可持续发展的刚性约束。该文在对低碳经济基本概念分析的基础上,探析其低碳城市构建的经济基础,并提出相关的对策框架,以期为重庆低碳经济创新性可持续发展作出贡献。     

论我国外逃贪官缺席审判制度的构建——以《联合国反腐败公约》资产追回机制为视角

2005年10月27日,我国刑事司法界为了更有效地对境外腐败犯罪进行打击,签订了《联合国反腐败公约》。其中,《联合国反腐败公约》针对将腐败犯罪中的外流财产追回这一情况规定了资产追回机制,这对我国打击贪官携款外逃犯罪提供了依据。然而,由于我国刑事司法并没有设立缺席审判帝】度,使得在适用资产追回机帝】追回外流资产时遇到了障碍。因此,本文针对我国在适用《联合国反腐败公约》资产追回机制打击外逃贪官所面临的困境,在探讨了我国构建缺席审判制度的理论依据和现实基础之后,具体提出构建我国外逃贪官缺席审判制度的设想,以在相关理论研究中起到抛砖引玉之功效。

Breakpoint or Binder: Religious Engagement in Dutch Civil Society

Civil society as a social sphere is constantly subjected to change. Using the Dutch context, this article addresses the question whether religiously inspired engagement is a binder or a breakpoint in modern societies. The author examines how religiously inspired people in the Netherlands involve themselves in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and voluntary activities. Religious involvement and social engagement in different European countries are compared and discussed. In addition, the author explores the models of civil society and applies these to both the Christian and Islamic civil society in the Netherlands. Using four religious ‘identity organizations’ as case studies, this article discusses the interaction of Christian and Islamic civil society related to secularized Dutch society. The character and intentions of religiously inspired organizations and the relationship between religious and secular involvement are examined. This study also focuses on the attitude of policymakers towards religiously inspired engagement and government policy on ‘identity organizations’ in the Netherlands.     

CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES AND THE TREATMENT OF PAKISTAN’S RELIGIOUS MINORITIES

Although Pakistan was created as a homeland for South Asia's Muslims, religious freedom was one of its founding principles. Seventy years later, Pakistan is better known for religious extremism and the persecution of Muslim and non-Muslim religious minorities. Pakistan's blasphemy law is a state-sanctioned tool of religious oppression used to target members of minority faith communities whether Ahmadiya, Christian, Hindu, or Shiite, as well as Sunnis who criticize the law. This paper discusses the blasphemy law and other laws that have led to the state of religious oppression in Pakistan.     

Interpretation and mutability: socio-legal texts of the Quran; three accounts from contemporary Iran

Since the advent of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979, radical changes have taken place in the views of many Iranian scholars regarding the nature of religious belief. In particular, the issue of the compatibility or incompatibility of Islam's socio-legal precepts and the challenges of time and space have become a crucial matter for numerous Iranian intellectuals. This paper discusses how three prominent Iranian intellectuals of the post-revolutionary era, namely Mostafa Malekian, Mohsen Kadivar and Hasan Yousefi-Eshkevari, have put forward arguments in favor of the contingent nature of the Quran's socio-legal passages. The paper argues that these scholars challenge the notion of the immutability of the Quran's socio-legal texts, claiming that they could be applied differently depending on the specific time and place. In this sense, the paper establishes the groundwork for showing how these scholars have re-examined traditional understandings of religion in light of the new challenges that are arising in the modern world.
