Diplomatic Interactions and Negotiations

This article examines the role of state actors, organization agencies, and individual agents in diplomatic interactions and negotiations. States as diplomatic actors, organizations as diplomatic agencies, and individuals as diplomatic agents enter into complex and interdependent relationships. Proposing a three‐level analysis of interstate interactions and diplomatic negotiations, I argue that no diplomatic negotiation happens without interactions between parties at the state, organizational, and individual levels. The agency–structure paradigm provides a conceptual framework for understanding behavioral and structural properties of international interactions and their influence on diplomatic negotiations. Diplomatic negotiation employs specific forms of interaction, using a distinct language, protocol norms, symbols, ceremonies, and rituals. The state's “self” (as a social conception of its identity, values, and interests) affects the process of diplomatic negotiation. By managing, organizing, and improving international interactions at the actor, agency, and agent levels, negotiating parties can advance the process and effectiveness of diplomatic negotiation.     

民事调解书的检察监督

对民事调解书进行检察监督是2012年民事诉讼法的新规定,也是我国检察机关的新任务。对调解书的监督与对判决、裁定的监督存在多方面的差异,只有充分认知和把握两者的区别,对民事调解书的检察监督才能顺利进行。民事诉讼法第208条中的"调解书",解释上应包括调解笔录、司法确认裁定书,但不包括仲裁调解书。对调解书的监督,应当采用依职权监督的方式。授权检察机关对损害国家利益、社会公共利益的调解书进行监督的规定属于法律中的一般性条款,检察机关正确实施监督的关键在于恰当界定调解书是否损害这两种利益。对国家利益、社会公共利益应当采用目的性扩张的解释方法,调解书违反法律的禁止性规定、严重违背社会公德、损害集体经济组织利益、损害社会弱势群体利益的,也应当视为损害国家利益、社会公共利益。损害案外人利益的虚假诉讼的调解书,也应成为监督的对象。适用民事诉讼法第208条时,还应注意国家利益与社会公共利益在一些情况下难以精确地界定和区分。     

内幕交易侵权责任的因果关系

证券内幕交易侵权责任因果关系的研究,需要借助因果关系理论的发展并重新审视内幕交易的行为本质。投资者因内幕交易而致权益被侵害是完全被动的,"比较优势论"有助于实现对内幕交易行为及其侵权责任的整体认知。内幕交易侵害其交易对手——"善意同时反向交易者"之"以信息对称为核心的公平交易法益",而非投资者的"知情法益"。内幕交易行为提升了投资者亏损发生的客观可能性,二者之间具有事实上的因果关联。依托以原因力、有责性、公平性等若干要素为中心的理论与价值判断体系,并贯彻侵权法之填补及预防损害的补偿性功能,经论证可知内幕交易侵权行为引致的损失限定为对手"交易损失的一半",但应以相当于内幕交易人非法获利(包括所获收益或避免的损失)的投资者损失额为限。     

利益共享与社会主义核心价值认同的建构

社会主义核心价值认同的建构是一个复杂的过程,是在一个开放、动态的过程中,必须经过认知、情感、意志、行为等几个过程才能逐步建立起对核心价值的认同。社会主义核心价值认同建构的关键是利益共享。以利益共享建构社会主义核心价值认同不仅具有理论和实践依据,还具有现实条件。以利益共享建构社会主义核心价值认同有助于构建社会主义和谐社会和提升中国的文化软实力,保障我国的意识形态安全。     

诈骗罪疑难问题研究

以侵犯财产为目的的诈骗罪自古以来便存在,但直至今日我国刑法通说对于诈骗罪的理解仍有不明之处。"非法占有目的"虽然未在诈骗罪的构成要件中明确列出,但是却是诈骗罪中必不可少的主观要素构成要件;作为三角诈骗典型代表的诉讼诈骗行为只是诈骗罪的一种行为方式,应被认定为诈骗罪;对于电信诈骗,两高的司法解释明晰了其定罪量刑的依据,但在共犯认定问题上应以分赃时的具体情形为依据。     

Domestic adjustment costs,interdependence and dissent in the Council of the European Union

Liberal international relations theory posits that the behaviour of states is affected both by domestic interests and other states with which they are linked in significant patterns of interdependence. This article examines the relevance of this proposition to states' behaviour in the most powerful institution in the furthest reaching example of regional integration in the world today: the Council of the European Union. Compared to previous research, more detailed evidence is analysed in this article on the substance of the political debates that preceded Council votes. It is found that states' disagreement with both discretionary and nondiscretionary decision outcomes affects the likelihood that they dissent at the voting stage. Moreover, in line with the theory posited here, the behaviour of states' significant trading partners has a particularly marked effect on the likelihood that they will dissent.     

济南市农民工工作调研报告

2013年由济南市农民工联合调查组撰写的本报告证明,济南市一百多万农民工在工资待遇、劳动管理、就业培训、社会保险、公共服务、政治权利、城市融入等九个方面都程度不同地存在工作盲区或薄弱环节,农民工的合法权益经常遭到侵犯和损害,特别是他们融入城市和现代社会的步履相当艰难。进一步加强和改进济南市农民工工作的建议是:一是在工作思路方面,要把握"12345"总体要求,即掌握一个总体情况,掌握维护农民工切身利益的两个原则,消除三对矛盾,把握政策、对策取向的四个转变,健全五项民生工程。二是在服务管理方面,要强化十条措施。主要有在职能部门设立负责农民工工作的专门机构、建立农民工综合服务中心、建立农民工信息网络平台、建立农民工权益保障机制、推进城乡社会保障体系统筹和制度衔接等。三是在社会资源方面,要注重发挥社会组织的作用。四是在素质建设方面,要提升农民工的人力资本和社会资本。     

中美关系新发展与美国对华政策调整

近一年来,美国政府对华政策发生了一定程度的正面变化。中关关系良性互动明显增强,双方在政治、安全、经济和国际等领域的对话与合作取得显著成果。中美关系可望进入一个以稳定发展、积极互动为基本特征的新时期。尽管如此,美国仍不会从根本上改变对华防范、遏制战略,中美之间的结构性矛盾也不会消失。     

Nuclear Policy and Regulation in Japan after Fukushima: Navigating the Crisis

The aftermath of the Fukushima disaster, the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl, has seen a public debate emerge over the future desirability of nuclear power in Japan. While Japanese citizens’ suspicion of nuclear power has grown, the nuclear industry and electricity utilities have called on the central government to recommission the country’s reactors amid warnings of devastation for the Japanese economy. This article analyses nuclear policy-making in Japan in the aftermath of Fukushima, with the aim to identify key theoretical, institutional and organisational drivers and constraints to future change in Japan’s nuclear energy policy. Despite the growing anti-nuclear sentiment and concerns about the environmental risks of nuclear power, we contend that the continuing power of vested interests will make it difficult for Japan to completely abandon nuclear power during the course of the next decade. However, given the independence of the newly established nuclear regulator and the fact that an effective veto power is held by local government officials, some of whom are opposed to the recommissioning of nuclear plants in their prefectures, we argue that the nuclear policy and regulatory landscape in Japan will undergo moderate change.
