Parties, rules and government legislative control in Central Europe: The case of Poland

A distinguishing feature of Central European polities is a strong policy-shaping role of parliaments. This article demonstrates how party political and procedural factors set the scene for the executive's loss of legislative control in Poland. Parties undermine the governmental grip because of their limited internal cohesion and competitive coalitional strategies. Parliamentary rules reinforce such party effects. The executive can shield its bills from amendments by relying mainly on partisan controls, not formal privileges. But, as an analysis of over 300 bills shows, when party discipline and coalition cooperation are in short supply, partisan controls are ineffective as instruments of legislative control.     

刑事非法实物证据的定义及分类

构建刑事非法实物证据的排除规则是当下法学界一个热点问题，不同学者对此有着不同见解。造成学界在构建排除规则不统一的原因主要为：对刑事非法实物证据的定义认识不统一以及对构建刑事非法实物证据排除规则的理论基础没有全面认识。对造成上述状况的原因之一即刑事非法实物证据的定义进行尝试，并对刑事非法实物证据作一个分类，可以为学界在构建刑事非法实物证据排除规则时提供参考。

交易成本与区域经济合作

交易成本对国家间的经济合作具有重要影响。区域经济合作的实质是区域内不同主体之间的权利交换,即交易。合作制度是对交易条件的相关规定。合作制度的选择,也就是现有条件下的交易成本最小化选择。区域的具体特点不同,相互之间所需的交易条件不一样,合作制度也不一样。

论主动型侦查

为了对付新的犯罪情况而出现的主动型侦查──监控型侦查和诱导型侦查 ,在刑事侦查实践中有日益扩大应用的趋势。由于侦查权的特殊性和犯罪情况的新变化 ,主动型侦查有存在的必要。立法机关应当从适用的案件范围、适用的实质要件、适用的对象范围等方面对主动型侦查的合法性标准作出明确规制。     

MEDIATING JUDICIAL POLICY

Despite the widespread use of mediation to resolve public policy disputes, there is little written on the mediation of judicial rule disputes. A successful mediation of a dispute over proposed court rules to govern mediation of certain family law cases involving domestic violence concerns is reviewed. The authors conclude that the mediation provided (a) a confidential venue for disputing judges to respectfully disagree with one another, (b) an opportunity for collaborative problem solving, (c) an opportunity to reduce conflict among judicial colleagues. (d) a format for dialogue with other stakeholders, and (e) greater degree of influence with regard to the outcome of the dispute. Specific recommendations to encourage the effective use of judicial policy mediation are offered.

民事诉讼中的矛盾群及解

民事诉讼是一个运动变化着的三维空间场,当已经发生的事件或现象在进入民事诉讼的空间和时间“隧道”之后,各种矛盾便会应运而生,形成“矛盾群”。“矛盾群”发生的基本缘由在于,在民事诉讼中交织着不同的规制、价值要求和关系,它们之间的相互作用使民事诉讼成为“万花筒”式的空间场景。     

Corruption and marketization: Formal and informal rules in Chinese public procurement

The relationship between market liberalization and corruption has attracted scholarly attention in recent years. Conventional wisdom holds that increased economic marketization reduces corruption. China, however, provides evidence to the contrary; corruption has grown as its market‐oriented reforms progress. This paradoxical co‐development of the market and corruption begs the intriguing questions of how corruption has survived marketization and what explains the failure of government regulation. Extending the conceptual framework of institutional theory about formal and informal rules, and using public procurement in China as an example, this article shows that formal tendering rules and regulations may be modified, circumvented, or replaced by informal ones which facilitate corruption. The article identifies four corruption schemes through which procurement actors may distort competition processes and mechanisms under the guise of formal rules. Consequently, public procurement in China displays the structural outlook of market competition, but not its essential substance.
