法制统一维护制度之检视与完善

法制统一的维护不力需要进行制度上的反思。法制统一制度在主体配置、权限分工以及维护机制等方面均存在诸多问题和缺陷,因此需要优化配置法制统一的维护主体,合理分工维护权限,健全完善维护机制,从而完善法制统一维护制度。     

我国台湾问题的法理探析

近年来,台独分子的“法理台独”愈演愈烈。前不久陈水扁的“废统”闹剧又引起两岸形势紧张。台湾问题有国内和国际两大因素,台湾问题的解决也要从国内和国际两个层面出发。无论是从国际法还是国内法层面分析,法律手段都是解决台湾问题以和平统一祖国的重要途径和有效手段。     

论刑事法律全球化时代的"国民不引渡"原则

在刑事法律全球化日趋成为一种发展趋势的今天,如何有效地进行国际刑事司法合作,消除合作中的羁绊,已经成为国际刑法需要认真探讨和研究的重大课题.从保护本国国民的利益出发,不将在外国犯罪的本国国民交给外国审判,或者不让本国国民在异国他乡的监狱中服刑,一直以来都是很多国家的做法.但是"国民不引渡"给国际刑事司法合作的顺利进行带来了难以克服的障碍.因此,新形势下采取新的立法势在必行.     

《公务员法》引咎辞职制度之忧思

《公务员法》引咎辞职制度引人三忧:一忧含义不明,难以执行;二忧制度运行,变形变质;三忧消极影响,不容忽视.鉴于引咎辞职赖以生成的条件短时期内在我国难以具备,与其去打造一件作用有限的监督武器,不如严格执法,加大对领导干部违法犯罪行为的打击力度,这才是打造责任政府,促进民主进程的正道和捷径.故建议在修改《公务员法》时,删除引咎辞职条款,使其回归道义责任之本位.     

THE POTENTIAL OF THE FAMILY LAW EDUCATION REFORM PROJECT FOR FAMILY LAWYERS1

Family lawyers are major beneficiaries of the reforms set out in the Family Law Education Reform Project (FLER) Report. This commentary from a veteran family law practitioner explores the needs of the family law bar for the training of law students in practical, interdisciplinary, client‐centered lawyering that goes beyond the traditional case method. I trace many of the current innovations evolving in family law practice and how FLER reforms will not only benefit law schools but also have a major impact in the courts and private practice sector.     

法律选择方法演变与构建国际和谐社会

法律选择理论是国际私法的核心理论,主要是以各种法律选择学说为载体,具体表现为各种法律选择方法。从十四世纪意大利巴托鲁斯创立法则区别说以来,法律选择方法一直处于不断的演变之中,体现了国际社会追求和谐的要求。本文以法律选择方法的历史演变为线索,以法律选择方法的价值追求——正义为研究视角,探讨法律选择方法的演变与构建国际和谐社会之间的联系。     

“千叶之结”及其症因——关于法律文化概念构建的再思考

在理论法学研究中,法律文化概念虽相当常用,但并无一大致公认的涵义,这也影响到了概念自身的合法性问题。本文从对千叶正士之法律文化概念构建模式的评析出发,去探求“一个精确明了并为大多数人所接受”的法律文化概念的难求(千叶之结)原因所在;并通过对哈特构建法律概念的认识论背景的分析,指出法律文化概念的构建应该是开放结构和复数意义上的,法史学、法人类学、法社会学等不同法学分支学科的法律文化概念构建模式均各有其理论价值和现实意蕴。     

知识产权与人权:后TRIPS时代的知识产权国际保护

TRIPS的产生,在促进知识产权国际保护发展的同时,也被认为造成了知识产权制度与国际人权法之间的冲突。从立法宗旨上讲,不管对知识产权采用什么样的措辞,知识产权保护应与维护人类尊严和实现其他人权相一致。所以,我们必须开展有关研究工作,探寻如何在包括TRIPS在内的国际条约框架下,协调好知识产权与人权之间的关系;具体说来,知识产权国际保护制度必须以国际人权公约的价值取向为指导,在保护作者精神权、隐私权、公共健康与环境等方面进行制度改革。     

Disciplining Society through the City: The Genesis of City Planning in Brazil and Argentina (1894–1945)

This paper looks at the genesis of a discourse on urbanismo (city planning) in Brazil and Argentina between 1894 and 1945 using the ideas of Michel Foucault on discipline and his concept of bio–power. The demographic pattern of the major cities in both countries from 1890 onwards and the renewals of the centres of these cities are also discussed. Other sections are dedicated to the plans proposed for the same cities in the 1920s and to urban representations, such as ideas about social reform, the role of hygiene as a point of departure for planning, and the relationship of ideas on Taylorism (scientific management) and the city. The paper also discusses the planners opposition to elections, when they claimed that they were the only ones qualified to deal with urban problems and therefore they should be employed in the state apparatus.
Other concerns of the paper are the use of planning as an element of nation building and ideas defining eugenics (race 'betterment') as an important aspect of city planning. I conclude by arguing that, if implemented, city planning was a way of creating an industrial culture, disciplining society through the city, although the industrial proletariat has never made up the majority of the population in Brazil or Argentina. Even if many aspects of the plans proposed for both countries were not implemented, the discourse of planners can be seen as a will to discipline society through the city. This discipline would affect the freedom of movement of human bodies, and is therefore approached through Foucault's concepts of bio–power and discipline
