犯罪学中的犯罪概念研究之比较

在国外犯罪学中，对于犯罪学概念的研究集中在两个方面，即对于犯罪概念的界定，以及在此基础上对于犯罪概念界定视角的探讨；我国犯罪学界则主要集中在是否择取刑法的犯罪定义与对于犯罪学所采纳的非刑法犯罪概念如何界定。我国犯罪学犯罪概念研究应从拓展视域、注重国内与国外刑法犯罪概念的差异、坚持学科一致的方法论立场、联系犯罪变化趋向四个维度展开进一步的探讨。     

中国大陆与台湾地区刑事再审程序之比较研究

近年来 ,刑事再审程序的改革已越来越受到诉讼理论界和司法实务界的关注。借鉴其他国家和地区的诉讼制度势必会促进我国诉讼制度的完善。我国台湾地区的刑事诉讼法主要借鉴了德、日诉讼制度 ,同时也吸收了美国诉讼制度的内容。为此 ,在探讨我国刑事再审制度改革的今天 ,借鉴台湾地区的刑事再审制度 ,有着十分重要的意义。     

中法刑事侦查制度比较研究

中法两国在刑事侦查组织制度、程序制度、人事制度等多方面都有明显的差异,这是由两国的政治制度,法律制度以及司法传统等多种因素影响的结果。对中法两国刑事侦查制度的比较研究,借鉴法国的有益经验,推行警检一体化,建构科学、合理的警检关系模式;保障犯罪嫌疑人的合法权益;建立强制作证制度;对改进和完善我国的刑事侦查制度有着重要意义。     

Regionalising the state: political topography of regulatory regionalism

In recent years new modes of regional governance such as peer review, policy networks, and multi-level governance, have emerged not only in the European Union but in other regions such as the Asia Pacific. This article explains the rise of these new modes of governance in terms of the framework of regulatory regionalism. It suggests that these new modes of governance constitute distinctive forms of regionalised governance within the state. Hence emerging practices of regional governance are not above the national state, but instantiated within it. Just as much as the national territorial state was consolidated over the nineteenth and much of the twentieth century, the twenty-first century is likely to see the consolidation of new forms and practices of regional governance in which the ‘regional’ becomes incorporated within the political space of the state.     

论比较警察学研究

比较研究是科学研究的重要方法 ,也是科学的重要分支。改革开放以来 ,我国警察比较研究取得了一些成果 ,但是尚不能满足公安教育、理论研究和公安改革的需要。在加入世贸组织以后 ,为了适应市场经济和改革开放的发展 ,必须加快公安改革 ,为此 ,应当深刻认识和高度重视开展比较警察学研究的意义 ,同时遵循一定的原则 ,并对当前亟需的几个重点问题加强研究。     

保护作品完整权的重构--对我国著作权法相关条款的质疑

我国著作权法上有关保护作品完整权的规范同日本、德国一样 ,都来源于《伯尔尼公约》。但后者却将其内容划分为作品本身遭受改动和作品本身没有遭受改动两种情形并规定了不同的构成要件。我国著作权法中有关作品完整权的规定在法律构造、保护水平上都失之偏颇。通过比较法上的分析 ,笔者对我国著作权法中有关作品完整权的规定提出了自己的建议。     

司法鉴定领域分类和能力范围表述的国内外比较研究

对司法鉴定领域开展科学、有效的分类,进行统一规范的能力范围表述,有助于建立完整的司法鉴定标准化体系,能为司法鉴定机构合理规划组织结构、准确定位发展方向提供指引,也能为司法鉴定行业管理部门的规范化管理提供帮助。对该领域分类和能力表述开展国内外比较分析,是实现上述目标的基础性研究。目前我国在司法鉴定领域的分类方法尚未统一,与国外法庭科学认可分类方法相比,尚有部分项目未纳入分类范围之内;国内能力范围表述在目的、方式、详细程度上与国外相比亦有不同。本文对国内外行业管理组织和国际权威认可机构司法鉴定领域分类及能力范围表述进行了比较分析,研究解析其内容及差异,并提出了制定司法鉴定领域分类国家标准、扩展司法鉴定领域分类内容、适时调整司法鉴定能力范围表述内容等建议。     

Comparative Politics and the Synthetic Control Method

In recent years, a widespread consensus has emerged about the necessity of establishing bridges between quantitative and qualitative approaches to empirical research in political science. In this article, we discuss the use of the synthetic control method as a way to bridge the quantitative/qualitative divide in comparative politics. The synthetic control method provides a systematic way to choose comparison units in comparative case studies. This systematization opens the door to precise quantitative inference in small‐sample comparative studies, without precluding the application of qualitative approaches. Borrowing the expression from Sidney Tarrow, the synthetic control method allows researchers to put “qualitative flesh on quantitative bones.” We illustrate the main ideas behind the synthetic control method by estimating the economic impact of the 1990 German reunification on West Germany.     

Fiji’s Foreign Relations: Retrospect and Prospect

Abstract

Of all the island states of the Southwest Pacific, Fiji’s foreign relations have been the most fraught since the advent of independence in the region, due largely to a succession of coups d'état. These have invariably precipitated adverse responses from major partners and aid donors, notably Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the European Union. The last coup in 2006 also unsettled relations in Fiji’s more immediate region, especially among some of its smaller Polynesian neighbours, contributing to Fiji’s unprecedented suspension from the Pacific Islands Forum. This article reviews Fiji’s foreign relations from the time of independence in 1970 through the period of successive coups to the 2014 elections. It also examines Bainimarama’s strategies in extending foreign relations in the broader international sphere as well as issues surrounding the ‘normalisation’ of relations with its traditional partners.
