“关系文化”中的司法独立

法治的实现要求法律权威在社会的确立,这离不开高效、公正、独立的司法机构.司法改革在中国的推行受多方面因素的制约,抛却其他因素,司法体系同样置身与中国庞杂的关系网络.因此,此种"关系"的切断尤为重要,应加速法官的精英化,推进程序正义的实现,规范司法职业伦理以加速司法改革的进程,从而以相对独立的司法体系带动观念的变化.

Information, Interests, and Environmental Regulation

This study contributes to the understanding of informational approaches to bringing about compliance with environmental regulations with particular attention to differences in the influence of information provided by different information sources. Based on theorizing from a combination of information processing and interest group literatures, we develop hypotheses about regulatees' reliance upon and the influence of different sources of information. We test these hypotheses for Danish farmers' compliance with agro-environmental rules. Our findings show that information plays a role in bringing about regulatory compliance, but its influence is not as strong and is less direct than might be thought to be the case. In addition, we show that not all information sources have the same influence. The findings demonstrate that interest groups have important roles in information provision and legitimization of policies that have often been assumed in the literature but have rarely been empirically examined.     

Party opportunism among local politicians after Taiwan’s power transition

This paper probes into a hypothesised opportunism towards political party affiliation among local politicians in Taiwan since the power transition from Kuomintang (KMT) to Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) rule began in 2000. Longitudinal changes in election candidates' party affiliation are analysed to see what happened to the KMT's supposedly strong base of local politicians after the change of governing party. The research finds a generally high propensity of election candidates' changing or dropping their party affiliation between elections, and an increased propensity among KMT candidates after 2000. However, defections to other parties are more common in higher elections. In grassroots elections, many candidates flow in and out of their party affiliation depending on the political circumstances, but they rarely change party. Several years after the DPP gained power in presidential elections, the new ruling party is still struggling to build a strong local party organisation.     

评《股东有限责任与公司法人人格否认理论》——兼与董学立先生商榷

《股东有限责任与公司法人人格否认理论———兼与孟勤国、张素华先生商榷》一文,既建基于没有读懂其批驳的原文,在推理过程、提出的论点、论据方面也存在不足。股东有限责任与公司法人人格无因果关系,公司独立责任也不是股东有限责任的前提和条件。

略论指定辩护的制度性缺陷及其完善

我国的指定辩护制度,无论从法律规范或者实施情况看,都存在制度性缺陷,有待加以完善。这包括扩展指定辩护的时间和主体,设立公职律师制度以及建立指定代理制度等。     

质疑独立董事制度

引入独立董事制度是为了改善目前我国上市公司的法人治理结构,制约内部控股股东利用其控制地位做出不利于公司和外部股东的行为,以保护广大中小股东的利益.但由于<公司法>没有明确规定上市公司必须建立独立董事制度,更没有相关的详细规定,导致了实际操作的困难.从实践的结果看,独立董事的独立性无法保证;独立董事和监事会在监督权力上重叠与交叉造成的权力冲突,导致资源浪费或互相推诿,增加监督成本,降低公司运作效率,影响公司治理的质量.当独立董事制度在我国还没有很好的成长环境时,对严重的内部人控制现象的频频发生,我们应当在现有的法律框架下寻找法律救济.
