Harming America: Corporate Crime in a Context of Deregulation

ABSTRACT

Like many Republican presidential candidates before him, Donald J. Trump campaigned on a pro-business, anti-regulation platform, and since his election in November 2016, he has directed his administration to move forward with deregulation in many arenas, including consumer financial protections, environmental controls, and workplace safety among others. Past efforts to roll back regulations governing certain industries, such as the savings and loan and the mortgage industries, have had harmful consequences for the general public or for specific interest groups. In this study, we review what the Trump administration has accomplished with regard to deregulation to date. Then, based on past deregulatory fiascos, we theorize the harmful collateral consequences that may result from this most recent swing of the regulatory-deregulatory pendulum.

Bringing the Falklands/Malvinas Home: Young People's Everyday Engagements with Geopolitics in Domestic Space

This paper draws on recent research examining feminist and everyday geopolitics to focus on the relatively neglected domestic sphere as a space where geopolitical events like the Falklands/Malvinas war are learnt, (re)produced, remembered and contested by young people. It presents qualitative data drawn from interviews with young people from Argentina (Río Gallegos) and the Falkland Islands (Stanley), locations with intimate connections to the 1982 war. It argues that research in domestic environments that engages the familial relations, objects and practices that embody geopolitical pasts can help make sense of how young people (are able to) express geopolitical agency.     

独立学院转设背景下不确定性规避对教师工作不安全感的影响 ——一个有调节的中介效应模型

独立学院转设作为一项重大的组织变革,会对教师的切身利益产生重要影响。基于认知评价理论和资源保存理论,本研究探讨独立学院转设背景下,不确定性规避对教师工作不安全感的影响,并检验感知转设冲击的中介效应以及人力资本的调节作用。本研究发现：不确定性规避对教师工作不安全感有显著正向影响,感知转设冲击在不确定性规避和教师工作不安全感之间起部分中介作用,人力资本负向调节不确定性规避和感知转设冲击之间的关系,人力资本还负向调节感知转设冲击在不确定性规避和教师工作不安全感之间的中介作用。为保障转设工作的顺利进行,研究建议：学校应就转设与教师进行充分沟通,教师应提升自身人力资本水平,增强抵御外部环境冲击的能力。     

Reproducing remoteness? States,internationals and the co-constitution of aid ‘bunkerization’ in the East African periphery

ABSTRACT

The physical and social retreat of international interveners behind the walls of ‘bunkered’ aid compounds in (putatively) more remote and dangerous regions of the South has been the focus of growing critical attention in recent years. An increasingly remote and fearful culture of risk aversion and differentiation among Western states and organizations has been largely identified as the driving force behind this set of practices. This article presents a different perspective on the bunkerization phenomenon through focusing on the agency of Southern states in the process. Exploring bunkerization across eastern/central Africa—and in Ethiopia’s eastern Somali region in particular—the study emphasizes not only how African states have been key promoters of modern bunkerization, but also how bunkerization behaviour and mentalities have historically characterized how many African borderlands—and contemporary sites of international intervention—have been incorporated into the global state system.     

Regulatory dynamism of environmental mobilization in urban China

In China, urban middle class mobilization against potential pollution risk has become increasingly common. This article examines this phenomenon through a detailed case study of a 2009 anti‐waste incinerator campaign in the Panyu District of Guangzhou, which culminated in a sizeable public protest and government U‐turn. This episode revealed tension between the narrow, state‐centered regulatory model fixated on end‐of‐pipe pollution control, and a much broader decentered approach advocated – and practiced – by project opponents, which incorporated public consultation and much greater emphasis on upstream waste reduction and sorting. In the process, the Panyu campaign progressed beyond a case of “regulation by escalation,” whereby beneficial regulations are belatedly enforced following populist pressure. Instead, it transformed into an open dialogue between a plurality of actors, including citizens, journalists, experts, and officials, about what regulation should constitute and who should determine acceptable levels of risk. By focusing on the processes through which regulatory issues emerged and changed during the Panyu campaign, this article highlights the regulatory dynamism of environmental mobilization in a context of regulatory uncertainty, and campaigns against “locally unwanted land uses” more broadly.     

论有独立请求权的第三人制度之完善

有独立请求权的第三人制度,作为我国民事诉讼法的众多制度之一,既具有一系列优点,又存在一些不足和缺陷。本文在重点分析我国有独立请求权的第三人制度所存在的诉讼依据过于狭窄、第三人权利保护不如原告全面、诉讼结构不尽合理等不足与缺陷基础上,有针对性地提出了完善我国有独立请求权的第三人制度的一些建议和措施。     

我国商事仲裁制度改革若干建议

随着经济全球化的发展,我国现有仲裁制度的局限与不足日渐明显,需要积极进行改革,包括：应减少对仲裁机构的行政干预,确保其独立的民间地位;借鉴外国相关立法和经验,对仲裁协议作比较宽松的规定及解释;为提高仲裁效率,应赋予临时仲裁相应的法律地位;法院对仲裁的司法干预应不断弱化,而对仲裁的协助应不断加强。     

中国民族汽车产业保护:失效成因及对策

尽管我国长期时汽车产业采取保护发展措施,但是目前跨国汽车公司掌握合资企业的实际控制权、本土汽车企业创新能力依然薄弱等事实说明,我国对汽车产业的保护未能取得应有成效.政府对国外汽车产品的进口控制不力、过早允许跨国汽车公司投资国内市场、长期对国内民营资本实行进入管制以及过度干预汽车企业的经营管理,是影响保护成效的主要原因.为此,有必要加强国有汽车企业改革,以本土企业竞争促进汽车产业自主发展.
