1953年朝鲜半岛“停战机制”的困境与出路

冷战后朝鲜半岛局势的动荡不安和近几年来的核危机久拖不决表明,1953年建立的停战机制已经难以适应局势发展的需要,构筑新的安全保障机制已成为大势所趋。鉴于停战机制的局限性,新的安全机制的构建需要全新的思维。     

Law clerks as an instrument of court–government accommodation under autocracy: the case of the Russian Constitutional Court

There is a normative expectation that constitutionalism does not co-exist well with autocracy. How do constitutional courts then uphold their integrity under authoritarianism? In this paper, I answer this question by taking the case of the Russian Constitutional Court (RCC) and showing how court–government accommodation in the new post-third wave autocracies can be achieved by limiting the amount of information the court receives from its secretariat. It follows from a detailed analysis of case selection in the RCC that the secretariat can function as an “insulator,” protecting the Court from political and reputational risks. The two features that make this possible are its invisibility to the judges and the clerks’ specific professional culture. The research is informed by an extensive series of in-depth interviews in the RCC, and benefits from the relocation of the RCC to St. Petersburg in 2008.     

Religious Innovation and Competition in Contemporary African Christianity

ABSTRACT

This introductory essay lays out the main themes of a special issue of Journal of Contemporary African Studies which brings together six empirically grounded papers by African social scientists of different disciplinary backgrounds. These works touch on various aspects of the social impact of religious innovation and competition in present day African Christianity. They represent the first fruits on the social science side of an interdisciplinary initiative that made 23 research grants for theologians and social scientists to study Christianity and social change in contemporary Africa. These articles focus on a variety of dynamics in contemporary African religion (mostly Christianity), including gender, health and healing, social media, entrepreneurship, and inter-religious borrowing and accommodation. The editors conclude that the research and learning reflected in this volume will enhance understanding of religion’s vital entanglement in contemporary African society. The articles reveal problematic ethical and psychological dynamics in some of these new movements, particularly among some of the neo-Pentecostal groups. Yet the authors are determined to go beyond perspectives that are overly fixated with African problems and victimisation. They are keen to explore opportunities for understanding African agency and African wellsprings of hope. The editors conclude that scholars of religion and religiosity in Africa need to invest new conceptual and methodological energy in researching what it means to be actively religious in Africa today.     

王船山的廉政思想及对当今廉政建设的启示

王船山的廉政思想由三部分构成，一是重视官德修养，以求国家“久安长治”；二是强调对官员的监督，重在“严于治上官”；三是构建权力监督制衡体制，实现“君、相、谏官”“环相为治”。本文认为。王船山的廉政思想对当代中国廉政建设的启示是：第一，以“八项规定”为切入口加强官德培养；第二，“老虎苍蝇一起打”，加大对腐败犯罪打击力度；第三，“把权力关进笼子里”，完善现有权力监督体系。     

Establishing the Principle of Equality between Men and Women in the Modem Chinese Civil Law： Based on Changes in Women＇s Legal Status

对于缺乏自然法传统及平等观念的中国社会而言,男女平等原则在近代民法中的确立经历了一个曲折的过程。《大清民律草案》首先在立法层面突破了旧体制的局限,初步确立了女性的独立法律地位,但却仅仅停留在文本层面,没有来得及施行就退回到《现行律民事有效部分》。不过,民初大理院却在司法裁判中,常常以＂条理＂的形式将《大清民律草案》中有关女性权利的进步性规定引入具体的审判实践中,以判解的方式使女性法律地位得以提高。之后,《民国民律草案》在吸收这些进步性判解的基础上,又有进一步的发展,《民国民法典》最终完全确立了男女平等原则。

百年中的中国民法华丽转身与曲折发展——中国民法一百年历史的回顾与展望

中国民法已经走过了一百年的历史,其中大清民律草案、民国民律草案和民国民法典在中华法系民法的基础上实现了一个华丽转身,走向了继受欧陆民法的不归路,适应了当时中国的社会政治、经济、文化生活的需要,实现了中国民法的现代化。1949年以来,当代中国民法经历了艰难曲折的发展,终于迎来了21世纪民法的繁荣和发展。总结经验教训,21世纪的中国民法应当在这条路上继续走下去,创造中国民法的辉煌,造福于21世纪的中国人民。     

A Letter Sent,Waiting to be Received: Queer Correspondence,Feminism and Black British Art

Abstract

This article examines what the published letter does as a form that is both intimate and public, and how it is particularly resonant when dealing with the silences and absences around queer and feminist artist of colour histories. Connections are made between three letters published in feminist and queer journals and books, written for readers who may include the writers’ loved ones, friends, contemporaries, and future readers. These three letters are contained within the following publications: Surviving Art School (2016) by the group Collective Creativity, a QTIPOC artist group who made the publication as part of a wider project examining the history of Black British Art (members are: Evan Ifekoya, Raisa Kabur, Rudy Lowe and Raju Rage); a special issue of FAN (Feminist Arts News) edited by Lubaina Himid and Maud Sulter in 1988, the precursor to the more well-known collection Passion, edited by Sulter in 1990; ending with Himid's recent reflections on her curation in the 1980s through a series of ‘Letters to Susan’ published in the 2011 catalogue for the exhibition Thin Black Line(s) at Tate Britain. Through close examination of these examples, this article explores the particularities of the letter form, asking if it allows feminist and queer artists of colour to present their experiences in a manner that encourages all their readers to take part in the conversation, whilst prioritizing calls for other people of colour to respond. The article proposes that the published letter form keeps feminist histories alive and creates a counterpublic that speaks to and for a community that is imagined as both geographically and temporally diffuse.
