对我国姻亲继承合理性的再思考

根据我国《继承法》，不仅丧偶儿媳或女婿对公婆或岳父母尽了主要赡养义务后能成为第一顺序继承人，继兄弟姐妹间、旧社会形成的一夫多妻家庭中子女与生母以外的父亲的其他配偶间形成扶养关系的，也均互有继承权，该规定直接突破了世界通行的继承权仅在血亲及配偶范围内的传统基础。无论从继承权产生的基础，还是从姻亲继承产生的源流上分析，我国基于赡养扶助行为授予姻亲继承权都是对继承权基础的直接违背，也是对现实生活中民众继承习惯的背离。通过对姻亲的赡养扶助行为与继承权关系的分析，找出合理的路径与渠道对其实施赡养扶助行为后的权益进行补偿，始为正确的选择。     

Chinese warfare and politics in the ancient East Asian international system,CA. 2700 B.C. to 722 B.C.

Ancient East Asia is the second oldest “protobellic area” and pristine state system of international relations within the global international system, after West Asia (ancient Near East). In a previous study Cioffi‐Revilla and Lai (1995) reported the first findings on the origins and evolution of war and politics in ancient China (Legendary, Xia [Hsia], Shang, and Western Zhou [Chou] periods), ca. 2700 B.C to 722 B.C In this paper we make public an expanded data set (N = 104 cases, 12 variables; version 2.0), explaining our sources, measurements, and data quality control procedures. The new data set will permit investigators to test hypotheses about warfare distributions, ethnic and protracted conflicts, time series, periodicity, system dynamics, and structural relationships (e.g., war‐polarity theories). This new long‐range data set should also promote a new stage in comparative analyses of the universal and particular properties of warfare and international systems, both cross‐polity and longitudinally.     

B. F. Skinner's utopian vision: behind and beyond walden two

This paper addresses B. F. Skinner's utopian vision for enhancing social justice and human well‐being as it was introduced in his 1948 novel, Walden Two. In the first part, we address the historical, intellectual, and social context that situates the book in the utopian genre, the critiques of its premises and practices, and the fate of intentional communities patterned on the book. In the second part, we review practices in Skinner's book that advance social justice and human well‐being under the themes of health, wealth, and wisdom, and then focus on contemporary practices that are the legacy of his vision. His vision was neither the a priori truth of a particular premise about human behavior or a necessary practice (blueprint) for an intentional community but rather the use of empirical methods to discover premises and practices that work to advance the health, wealth, and wisdom of individuals and survival of the culture.     

On the Legitimacy of the Defense Lawyer Verifying the Evidence with the Defendant Fully before Trial

Since 2012 when the Criminal Procedure Law stipulated that the defense counsel can verify evidence with the defendant at the prosecution stage, the theoretical circle and the practical circle debated over the scope of the evidence for verification. On the basis of understanding the purpose of verification of evidence in a narrow sense, the side of the scope-limitation argued that the type, the scope of previewing evidence verification, and the right of checking only belong to lawyer. However, from the legislative reasons to protect the defendant's effective quality certificate, to maintain the basic structure that the lawyer verifies the evidence with the defendant, and to prepare effectively for the defense, the defendant should conduct a comprehensive examination of the evidence. Therefore, the defense lawyer verifying the evidence fully with the defendant has legitimacy.     

论工会组织参与民事诉讼的理论支点与制度构建

现代诉讼理论早已抛弃严格的实体当事人概念，认为诉权和实体权利可以分离，这为工会组织基于职工利益参与民事诉讼奠定了理论基础。工会组织对自体权益受损以及职工的集体利益受损的案件具有诉讼利益，可以作为民事诉讼程序的当事人。对于职工个体利益受损的诉讼，工会组织则不具有诉讼利益，而应该以诉讼协助者的身份出现。在我国，由于工会自治性欠缺等原因，工会组织很少参与民事诉讼。解决这一问题的关键在于采取措施加强工会建设，提高工会组织的维权能力。     

银行危机处置过程中的股东权利限制研究

银行危机处置过程中股东权利限制是危机时期社会规制的需要,规制的原因包括维护金融稳定、预防系统性风险的发生、维护存款者的市场信心和预防股东道德风险发生。但股东权利保护是现代企业制度的核心内容,这就在"限制"与"保护"之间形成矛盾,这是银行生存的不同时期,股东行使权利正当性基础的差别造成的。因此,分析银行运行不同时期股东权行使的正当性基础,是论证银行危机处置期股东权利限制必要性的基础,同时,股东权利的限制必然影响到公司治理中利益相关主体间的权利结构平衡,故从法律规制和银行公司治理结构调整两个方面对"矛盾"的协调提出完善的建议。     

著作权合理使用制度的人权法反思——基于必要性的考量

合理使用作为著作权制度中权利保护与权利限制的"安全阀",其适用范畴的任何伸缩,都可能在一定程度上触及言论自由权、受教育权、隐私权等人权问题。回溯知识产权与人权挂钩的历史事件,反思在著作权保护与人权保护同样强势扩张过程中所产生的权利失衡,进而指出合理使用制度的未来变革应当体现知识产权保护的人权属性无疑具有重大意义。     

浅议“蒙面证人”制度

“蒙面证人”制度是一种隐匿证人身份或声音等形式的作证方式，主要目的是保护证人的人身安全。我国刑事诉讼法第六十二条规定的证人保护制度中就包含了“蒙面证人”制度的内容，这一证人保护制度与保障被告人对质权具有刑事诉讼法价值取向上的冲突，在厘清二者关系的同时探寻一条完善我国刑事证人出庭制度的新路径应当是解决我国刑事案件证人出庭问题的应然选择。     

现代犯罪观:自然权利背后的优势补偿

社会化和犯罪化是抑制乃至剥夺个人自然权利的过程,要使惩罚犯罪具有合理性,必须使个人的自然权利兑换成社会权利;只有社会权利能够给个人带来较自然权利更多的利益,改变个人的生存结构,令其从自然状态过渡到社会框架下才具有合理性。在惩罚犯罪时,必须考虑犯罪乃个人自然权利体现的基本事实;而量定责任时,也需考虑自然权利兑换社会权利不能的情形,适度对自然权利所代表的竞争优势给予补偿。     

德国反洗钱刑事立法述评与启示

为了遏制和打击洗钱活动，德国通过在刑法典中新增洗钱罪和多次的修订，将洗钱行为犯罪化，逐步建立起反洗钱和恐怖融资的刑事法律体系，并在一定程度上具有自己的独特之处。在国际社会共同打击洗钱活动和我国面临严峻洗钱形势的背景下，有必要介绍德国反洗钱刑事立法的成功经验，这对于完善我国的反洗钱法律制度具有借鉴意义。
