刑事和解--作为一种纠纷解决方式的分析

通过和解解决刑事纠纷在本质上是个人权利(不追究权)对国家权力(刑罚权)的一种协调和平衡,在我国自古有之.它与刑事自诉制度、国家追诉制度、附带民事诉讼制度都有密切的理论联系.对刑事和解的法律规制可以从案件范围和和解方式来考虑.     

论经济法调整对象范围的动态性

经济法的调整对象是在国家协调本国经济运行过程中发生的经济关系 ,具有特定性 ,其调整对象的范围不是恒定不变的 ,呈现动态性特征。不同国家不同时期的经济法 ,由于社会关系、价值目标不同 ,调整对象的范围也不同。以经济法调整对象范围的动态性为基点 ,结合我国的基本国情 ,阐释现阶段建立以宏观调控和市场规制并重为核心的经济法体系的合理性。

Governing Climate Change: Towards a New Paradigm for Risk Regulation

This article argues that the ascent of climate change on the EU regulatory agenda signals a new era of risk regulation and calls for the establishment of a new paradigm for risk regulation. Climate change is altering the EU's conception of environmental risks and its design of regulatory responses. In contrast to conventional risk regulation, climate change regulation must prioritise the risks of business‐as‐usual over the risks of change, must target systemic change instead of stability, and must favour the virtues of integration and orchestration over those of individualisation and compartmentalisation. There is an important role for risk regulation scholarship to analyse this shift and its consequences for regulation, such as the relocation of legitimacy needs and the emergence of new risks of regulatory failure. Such an enterprise would both reinvigorate risk regulation scholarship and offer a vital contribution to the European Union as it tackles the momentous challenge of climate change governance.     

The Google conundrum: Perpetrator or facilitator on the net? - Forging a fair copyright framework of rights, liability and responsibility in response to search engine 2.0 - Part II: The Google Books Search Project

Is Google in its quest for search engine optimization through the creation of new technologies, which not only improves its search algorithms but also refines its search functions for users, doing it in a manner that makes it a perpetrator of primary copyright infringement or an invaluable facilitator for Internet functionality? How should the balance of interests in the treatment of creative works be recalibrated in the face of changes in search engine technology and operations, and the disputes that have arisen within the last decade in the context of the digital age and its needs? Using Google as a case study, this paper will look at the two main areas of dispute over the operations of information locator tools and services that either threatens search engine functionality and efficiency or weakens copyright holders’ exclusive rights. It proposes a concerted set of solutions through a reassessment and amendment of copyright law to optimize the social benefits and objectives of both the copyright regime and technological innovations in the electronic model of information archiving, indexing and delivery. A fair distribution of responsibilities and allocation of rights and liabilities will be suggested. In the process, due consideration will be given to both public and private interests, with the former taking precedence; while the recommended solutions will be made within the currently outdated framework for Internet intermediary protection (i.e. safe harbor laws) and exceptions (i.e. specific statutory exemptions and the general fair use defense) under the existing copyright regime. Thus, the proposed changes will be far reaching without being too radical a departure from current law, an evolution that will likely be more acceptable and realistic a solution to the problem.This paper is published in two parts. Part One of this paper published in the previous edition of the CLSR at [2011] 27 CLSR 110-131 dealt with the challenges to the copyright regime posed by the operations and technology behind the Google Images Search Engine, while Part Two will assess the benefits of the Google Books Search Project vis-à-vis the effects it will have on the scope of copyright protection. Recommendations are made to copyright law to accommodate both functions while generally preserving the main objectives of copyright protection.

消费安全的法律规制——达芬奇事件引发的思考

达芬奇公司的虚假宣传和虚假标识行为已构成对消费者的欺诈,不仅损害了消费者的合法权益,还扰乱了市场经济秩序。消费者安全权属于经济法的权利范畴,政府应当承担起规制市场失灵、维护消费安全的职责,选择正确的规制工具并及时执行法律。只有将信息规制、私的规制等规制工具加以组合运用,并保证刑罚作为规制的后盾,完善消费安全规制的制度路径,才能有效保障消费安全。     

论行政监管权与法治

行政监管制度在中国建立的十几年间,监管效果并不理想,市场经济和现代监管制度尚未完全建立,监管权力失灵已经开始显现,这种消极现象不可能通过市场经济自身的力量消除,必须遵循法治原则,通过法律对行政权力进行规制。     

植入式广告及其法律监管制度研究

作为一种营销方式,植入式广告已经不可阻挡地出现在我们的生活中。作为一种广告方式,无论是其法律地位,还是对其的监管措施,法律至今没有明确的规定。植入式广告是一种合法的广告形式,不违反现行法律规定,没有侵犯消费者的选择权。但作为一种广告形式不应当游离于法律的监管之外,应纳入广告法的管理范围。     

公司承包经营的相关法律问题探析

公司承包经营在性质上属于狭义的委任经营,其中的权利义务安排对经营者人力资本与企业资本的合作具有独特的价值。公司承包经营并不影响公司法规定的公司治理机制目的的实现。作为一种特殊经营方式,公司承包经营合同在现有公司法律框架下有广阔的存在空间,并且无损于他人利益,其效力应得到法律的认可。法律应对合同主体、适用范围以及承包费的支付等事项进行明确规定,为当事人的公司承包活动提供明确指引。
