Development and reform of police training and education in Taiwan

This article describes the development of training and educating police officers in Taiwan. The current system, which has largely survived the democratic transition between 1986 and 2000, is unique. It is a two-track system in which Taiwan Police College (TPC) is responsible for training low ranking police personnel, whereas Central Police University (CPU) is responsible for educating police management personnel. Currently, the presidents of CPU are no longer chosen from the military, but their backgrounds require experiences as police officers. The Examination Yuan opens up the new route into TPC and CPU through competitive national civil examinations. Echoing the outcry for reform within Taiwan and abroad, we advocate to liberate new cadets from the closed system so that they can learn together with other non-police students and to add more social science materials into the police education curriculum.     

中国农村人口出生性别比发展水平分析

出生性别比是人口性别年龄结构发展变化的自然基础。出生性别比失衡是中国人口问题面临的一个复杂、实际的深层次问题。依据历次人口普查数据显示,由于农村较低的生产力水平和现行的计划生育政策,人口出生性别比偏高的趋势仍未明显缓解。传统的生育文化是导致农村出生性别比居高不下的根本原因,宽松的计划生育政策及执行是出生性别比偏高的关键因素,先进医疗技术的滥用甚至违法使用更加速了出生性别比的失衡状态,另外农村社会保障薄弱以及计划生育户的奖励幅度过低也是出生性别比偏高的主要原因。

Recruitment and coercion in Japan’s far north: evidence from colonial Karafuto’s forestry and construction industries, 1910–37

In 1905, Karafuto (Southern Sakhalin) became Japan’s second formal colony and the most sparsely populated territory in the Japanese empire. Despite its peripheral location and small population the colony was of important economic value, boasting considerable natural resources such as marine products, coal, oil and timber. This combination of richness and remoteness meant that enterprises in the colony faced an acute labour shortage. This paper examines the ways that enterprises operating in Karafuto sought to circumvent this problem by analysing the recruitment, management and maintenance of labour in Karafuto’s forestry and construction industries. It is found that a degree of coercion emerged at worksites in the colony, as management struggled to hold onto its workforce for the entirety of a project; however, coercion was not the norm and was strongly associated with specific recruitment grounds. Utilizing contemporary social research, colonial newspaper reports, oral testimony and other sources this paper finds that recruits from further afield were more likely to be involved in incidents of abuse than those in close proximity to Karafuto. Local connections, strength in numbers and mutual dependence of workers from these areas and Karafuto-based recruiters for work/labour served to reduce levels of conflict between the two parties.

经济学视角下的法律供给研究

法律是一种稀缺的社会资源,要做到对法律的有效运作,就必须通过市场机制对这种资源进行配置。通过对法律供给进行经济分析,我们发现法律的供给也是符合经济规律的。本文将就这个问题,用经济学的方法对法律供给的特点、影响法律供给的因素、法律供给弹性和法律供给模式等几个方面进行分析,得出有益结论以供各方参考。     

POLICE,MINORITIES, AND THE FRENCH REPUBLICAN IDEAL*

This paper examines the strained relationship between French police agencies and ethnic minorities and discusses evidence of ethnic discrimination by the police and the criminal justice system. Until recently, the idea that ethnic composition of a police force ought to reflect, to some degree, the community it polices, seemed odd in France. We argue that there are two main reasons for this viewpoint: first, a conception of the role of the police in the State as accountable to the government rather than to the citizens; secondly, a conception of Republic and citizenship denying any political significance to the personal identities of citizens. We conclude that ethnic diversification of police forces is but one aspect of a more encompassing struggle against discrimination that requires a degree of accommodation with the present legal and statistical invisibility of racial/ethnic groups.     

俄罗斯远东生活资料供给市场未来走势

近几年来,俄罗斯远东市场发生了重大变化,消费品供应形势明显好转,但是市场的繁荣在很大程度上是靠大量进口消费品带动的。今后远东发展的重点仍是原材料和能源工业,这是由现有产业结构的“超稳定性”所决定的。因此,远东农业、食品工业和轻工业发展滞后的局面难以根本改观,市场地产商品可供量与社会有支付能力的消费需求之间的矛盾不能得到缓解。俄罗斯在今后几年内将加入世界贸易组织。入世将使俄罗斯降低市场准入门槛,市场竞争更加激烈,同时也为中国消费品出口带来机遇和挑战。     

紧急状态下行政给付立法的缺失和建构

近年来,突发事件的频发引起了学界对紧急状态下行政行为法律规制的关注,但其重在紧急状态下侵益性行政行为的法律规制。事实上,在紧急状态下存在的大量行政给付行为,而给付行为失范不容忽视。为了更好地体现紧急状态行政给付法本应有的关注弱者的人文精神,以构建一个完整的和协社会,论文在对紧急状态下行政给付行为失范所导致的严重后果进行考察的基础上,分析了我国现行紧急状态行政给付立法上的不足,并对其予以建构。
