商业贿赂犯罪构成的若干新问题研究

商业贿赂犯罪是指单位或者个人为了购买或者销售商品,给予对方单位或者个人以财物的行为。但是在目前的刑事立法中,涉及商业贿赂犯罪的罪名过于分散,而且主体和对象界定都存在一系列问题,因此,建议在《刑法》中增设商业受贿罪和商业行贿罪,同时明确侦办权限,以构建科学的商业贿赂犯罪预防与治理机制。     

Giving credit when credit is due: credit giving to the president in the United States Congress

How do members of the US Congress give credit when credit is due for political achievements? Focusing on an important credit giving scenario – credit giving to the president of the United States – this research suggests that credit giving is a form of non-roll call position taking and members give credit in a way that is reflective of individual, institutional, and constituency factors. Using an original data set composed of the official congressional statements concerning the death of Osama bin Laden, findings suggest the proximate decision to issue a statement is related to individual and institutional factors. Within the issued statements, however, credit giving is primarily driven by presidential popularity in the constituency. In addition to being less predictable in their credit giving behaviour, members of the Senate are less likely to give credit than their colleagues in the House of Representatives. Finally, Republican women in the House of Representatives are less likely to give the president credit than other members.     

试论“民事、行政伪证罪“之增设

司法实践中大量的民事行政诉讼存在伪证行为 ,违反《民事诉讼法》有关证据原则和当事人、证人诉讼权利义务的规定 ,具有社会危害性。《民事诉讼法》规定的对妨害民事诉讼行为的强制措施不足以惩罚民事行政诉讼中的伪证行为。增设“民事行政伪证罪”是法制建设、健全和配套的需要。
