The Syrian Refugee Crisis and the International Community

This article analyzes the problematics of the international community's response to the Syrian refugee crisis: patterns of displacement, including the lack of attention to basic needs, the limited economic opportunities in host countries, the conditions facing Syrian refugee children, the risk involved in migration, and the challenge of adapting to host societies. The article then elucidates the series of failures of the international community to address the causes of this displacement, despite efforts by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and international institutions to alleviate suffering. It traces the humanitarian mismanagement to political divisions in the international community, including the failure of Arab states, the Iranian intervention, and the role of the United Nations, Russia and the United States in aggravating the displacement. The article provides policy recommendations for international actors in order to honor their commitments to hosting refugees and addresses the political requirements for a lasting solution.     

Placing Welfare States: The Netherlands as a Crucial Test Case

Typologies categorize welfare regimes either on the basis of their history or of their program characteristics or of their policy outputs. These three approaches often converge; but they do not always lead to the same conclusions. Reanalyzing data from Esping-Andersen's THREE WORLDS OF WELFARE CAPITALISM and elsewhere, we show that the Dutch welfare regime looks very different depending upon which basis for classification is used.     

论遗传资源获取与惠益分享中的事先知情同意制度

为了应对遗传资源利用中的"生物剽窃"现象,对遗传资源的获取与惠益分享进行有效管制,1992年《生物多样性公约》借鉴其他领域的成功经验,引入了事先知情同意的程序制度,并为各国建立国家与利益相关者的双重事先知情同意制度确立了国际法框架。事先知情同意要求遗传资源获取申请者应在其生物开发活动开展之前的合理期限内寻求相关主体的同意,在这段时间内相关主体可以根据获取申请者以合理方式提供的信息做到全面知情,并以特定格式就获取申请者的获取与惠益分享安排作出明确的、肯定的授权。     

中国法治政体的始创辛亥政治革命的法治论剖析与省思

法治政体理论在根本上把法治理解为,只有立宪政体才会要求并实现法律统治的一个政体问题。建立民主立宪的法治政体是辛亥政治革命的目标。为达成这一目标,民国初年的《临时约法》等法律初步构建了中华民国法治政体的雏形,但这一政体也陷入多重困厄之中。孙中山等人对这一政体及其困厄进行了富有价值的探索与反思。从法治政体理论及民初缔造法治政体的实践出发,可以对治法型法治的思想观念进行比较性的检视。     

Sovereignty, Migration and the Rule of Law in Global Times

This article argues that in the present era of globalisation, control over the movement of people has become the last bastion of sovereignty. This is important both to theoretical accounts of globalisation and to policy decisions by governments. Nation states threatened with loss of control in other realms are implementing a variety of 'crackdown' measures in questions of immigration. Issues of refugee law, illegal migration and skilled migration each challenge sovereignty in specific ways. While international human rights standards have made few inroads in questions of migration, recent decisions in England and Australia suggest that the rule of law may be emerging as a counter to traditional executive free reign in matters of migration law.     

论中国-东盟食品安全合作法律机制的构建

中国与东盟食品安全合作的稳步推进需要相应法律机制的保障。这一法律机制应立足于双方食品安全合作的已有法律依据和实践，从组织机构、表现形式和规范体系三方面予以构建。该法律机制的组织机构建设应依托于中国-东盟自由贸易区的整体性机构安排；该法律机制的表现形式主要是中国与东盟秘书处和中国与东盟各国食品安全职能部门签订的合作文件。这些文件的法律性质是软法，其制定和实施均应遵循软法的法治特征；该法律机制的规范体系应至少涵盖四类规则：食品安全信息交流制度、食品安全标准协调制度、食品安全能力建设制度和食品安全突发事件协处刺度。     

古罗马公权力的构成与近现代西方政权结构的基本模式——关于政体与权力分立学说的理论与实践

权力分立,在古代的罗马已经初步形成。这种公共权力的分配与运行,到了现代社会有了一套完整的理论体系,西方各国根据古典主义、启蒙学者提供的学说理论进行了数百年的实践,形成了各种不同的实践模式。比较古代罗马与近现代社会的实践,可以发现它们之间的源流关系。通过社会关系史的变迁进一步考察他们之间的差异,以及形成这些差异的原因,可以为我们深入研究权力分立学说的理论创造条件,同时也为社会科学的相关领域提供研究基础。     

The Role of Social Scientists in Accelerating Innovation in Regenerative Medicine

The expertise of social scientists is vital in the field of regenerative medicine. By providing a comprehensive framework to include both technology and market conditions, as well as considering social, economic, and ethical values, they can inform policy decisions and influence the rate and direction of progress in new medical research. This paper deals with four potential conditions to which social science should pay special attention and assess: market conditions, technological opportunities, mechanisms of appropriability, and risk regulation of products and practices. The interplay of these factors must be understood as providing the right environment for this paradigm to progress. More empirical evidence is necessary to validate these factors in their international context, and this assigns a pivotal role to these experts.

The Birth of a 'Discipline': From Refugee to Forced Migration Studies

This essay seeks to understand and explain the birth of ForcedMigration Studies. It argues that the turn from Refugee Studiesto Forced Migration Studies must be viewed against the backdropof the history and relationship of colonialism and humanitarianism,as a certain commonality binds the past and present eras. Themove to Forced Migration Studies accompanies the inaugurationof a phase of political humanitarianism with a distinct accent,albeit encapsulated in new forms and issues, on ‘civilizing’the Other. In making this contention the paper distances itselffrom both the defenders and critics of the turn to Forced MigrationStudies. It inter alia contends that Refugee Studies, like ForcedMigration Studies, has served the geopolitics of hegemonic states.But since all knowledge is dual use, both have also had humanitarianeffects. But a greater degree of disciplinary reflexivity wouldgo a long way to ensure that the genuinely humanitarian strandin Forced Migration Studies prevails.
