The Wilderness Act of 1964 and the Wilderness Preservation Policy Network

ABSTRACT

This article surveys an unpublished piece in which Friedrich Engels examined the ecological conditions of Ireland in a chapter entitled the “Natural Conditions” in his unfinished History of Ireland. In interpreting Engels’s findings dialectically we are able to explicate a dialectical framework that gives us a greater insight into how Engels understands the way in which the dialectics of nature enfold in a particular bioregion and how, crucially, those same organic processes of nature provide the necessary ecological conditions for society to engage in agricultural cultivation. The geological system of Ireland and its particular sieve-like structure moderate the climatic condition of excessive rainfall so that cultivation can continue. This investigation by Engels can be seen as a concrete case study into the dynamic metabolising relationships between the diverse organic processes of Nature as they are appropriated by society in agricultural production. The conceptual trajectory of this dialectical analysis is to emphasise the inherent fluidity, mutual interaction and “universal connection” of the forces of nature. This particular work of Engels’s is a significant contribution to our understanding not only of the dialectics of nature but also of the methodology of dialectics as such.     

逮捕条件中的社会危险性问题探究

逮捕的社会危险性条件是刑事诉讼法修改的一项重要内容,是逮捕条件的进一步细化,也是刑事诉讼法尊重和保障人权、保障犯罪嫌疑人合法权益、落实宽严相济刑事司法政策、慎捕等执法理念的重要体现。对于逮捕条件中的社会危险性,应结合案件的证据情况,通过对法条的五项社会危险性规定逐项进行准确把握。     

The myth of a finno-ugrian community in practice

Poland's post-communist development is often depicted as a contrast between a unified, engaged society of pre-1989 and a passive, divisive society of post-1989. What explains the displacement of political solidarity with a fragmented political scene? A factor specific to Poland is rooted in the struggle of Solidarity against communist power. The consequences are subsequent attempts to appropriate the values of Solidarno?? as political capital by competing political voices, leading to contestation about the nature of the country. This normative discourse was evident first in the post-communist divide, between forces stemming from the former communist regime and those affiliated with the opposition. More recently, the saliency of the post-communist division has receded, and a new contested discourse has surfaced among voices coming out of the Solidarity tradition. This rhetoric seeks to define a contrast between a “Solidaristic Poland” dedicated to traditional and Christian values affirming notions of exclusivity and superiority, and a “liberal Poland” dedicated to market and pluralist principles based on competition and individualism. In both political divides, the legacy of Solidarity provides useful political capital to advance distinctive visions of Poland.     

罪刑法定主义的哲学视域

对刑法基本原则的深刻理解来自于探寻其生命源泉。英国1215年《大宪章》与罪刑法定主义之间的联系被过分夸大了。罪刑法定主义的道德基础是个人主义的道德观,其政治条件一个是政教分离,一个是王在法下。罪刑法定主义仅仅立足于民主主义是不够的,还须立足于立宪主义,其根基在于人的尊严和自治,而其前提是商品经济的发展。     

正当防卫的正当化根据及条件

现代各国刑事立法对于正当防卫大都给予了相当的关注,认定正当防卫应以“正当化”为根据,并以“紧急不法侵害”的存在及“防卫”行为为要件。     

从几起大案看犯罪人格的形成及预防

犯罪人格在严重暴力犯罪中起着重要作用。犯罪人格的形成有一个过程 ,在这个过程中 ,成长环境、人生经历等起着重要的作用。要遏制犯罪人格 ,必须净化成长环境 ,满足合理需要 ,加强人格预警以及对劳动教养、劳动改造的方式、方法进行深入改革。     

吉林省旅游业的发展现状与发展对策研究

吉林省是一个旅游资源大省,不仅具有得天独厚的旅游生态资源,而且具有别具特色的民俗文化基础。近年来,吉林省旅游显现出快速发展的势头,特色旅游吸引了大批中外旅客。目前,吉林省旅游尚存在景区基础设施滞后、管理水平低、环保问题突出等问题。为加快旅游业的发展,政府投资应侧重乡村旅游、生态旅游,同时,建设多元化的营销主体的协同机制。     

不同地域痹证中医药治疗特色

痹证是因风、寒、湿、热等外邪侵袭人体,闭阻经络而导致气血运行不畅的病证。痹证的发生与体质的盛衰以及气候条件、生活环境密切相关。西北方之人患痹证,宜用疏通重剂、温热之药;东南方之人患痹证,宜用疏通轻剂、清凉之品;中部之人患痹证,当因地制宜。以中医理论为指导,结合痹证的现代研究,基于中医地域医学特色,探讨不同地域痹证的辨证及治疗特色具有重要意义。     

宪政国情与我国宪法监督模式的选择

宪法监督模式的选择必须符合我国国情,这是宪法监督发挥作用的前提。我国宪政国情可以从三个方面考察：政治理念上,强调议行合一;制度层面上,人大制度是保障人民当家作主的基本制度;实践层面上,执政党是实际的国家权力中心。特有国情使我国宪法监督制度的完善面临是否承认分权、人大是否受监督、执政党行为是否受制约等困惑。特有国情决定了我国宪法监督制度实质是保障各级各类国家机关贯彻执行执政党的方针政策,而关键是各级党组织及其领导人行为应受合宪审查。我国应建立执政党成员占主导地位的、中央与省两级分别设立的宪法监督委员会。这种宪法监督模式有利于实现对执政党组织的监督,有利于树立人大权威,有利于实现政党与国家关系的法律化。     

Passing the buck? Analyzing the delegation of discretion after transposition of European Union law

This article seeks to map and explain the extent to which national legislators constrain discretion contained in European Union directives during transposition. To this end, we use standard hypotheses from the domestic delegation literature regarding the necessity of policy conflict and transaction costs. Our empirical approach is based on a focused comparison of the transposition of several provisions of the Asylum Reception Conditions Directive in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. In order to capture content‐specific aspects of discretion we employ an innovative measurement tool, the so‐called Institutional Grammar Tool. The study shows that while all three states formally comply with the directive, the level of European Union discretion delegated to practical implementers varies considerably across the cases. Standard delegation theory cannot fully explain the patterns. Instead, existing delegation theories have to be adjusted to the transposition context, by accounting for domestic preferences regarding the status quo.
