人民监督员制度在运行中暴露出一些问题,人民监督员制度法律依据不足,人民监督员选任程序存在瑕疵,案件监督的范围有待调整就是典型例子。针对这些问题,应该推动人民监督员制度立法化,继续优化选任程序,重新调整案件监督范围。

非传统的总体国家安全观

中国官方虽然在世纪之交就已提出了以“互信、互利、平等、协作为核心”的“新安全观”,但这一“新安全观”阐述的是对外方安全方面的非传统安全保障途径与措施,而没有涉及内部安全及更广泛的其他传统的和非传统的安全问题,因而是低级形态的非传统安全观,也是低级形态的非传统国家安全观。当超越对外安全和国际安全,综观内外及其他各方面的总体国家安全问题时,中国官方当时及此后一段时间内秉持的依然是传统的国家安全观。与此不同,“以人民安全为宗旨”的“总体国家安全观”,不仅在强调国家安全民本性上体现了非传统思维,而且更通过强调“既重视传统安全又重视非传统安全”等多方面的论述,统一了传统安全问题与非传统安全问题两方面的丰富内容,因而是一种高级形态的非传统国家安全观。总体国家安全观既与传统国家安全观相对,又与低级形态的非传统安全观及低级形态的非传统国家安全观不同,体现出对国家安全领域传统与非传统两方面众多问题的全面性、综合性、系统性、辩证性观察、认识和处理,具有系统的非传统思维和丰富的非传统内容。但是,总体国家安全观在论及丰富的非传统国家安全问题时,也论及各种传统国家安全问题。总体国家安全观之所以“非传统”,是因为它关注和强调了各种非传统的国家安全问题;总体国家安全观之所以“总体”,是因为它兼顾了传统与非传统两方面国家安全问题;总体国家安全观之所以“高级”,是因为它用非传统思维统合了传统与非传统两方面的国家安全问题。因此,我们要重视总体国家安全观阐述的各种传统国家安全问题,更要重视总体国家安全观阐述的各种非传统国家安全问题;要全面兼顾总体国家安全观对传统与非传统两个方面国家安全问题的论述,更要重点研究总体国家安全观中涉及的各种过去长期没有受到足够重视的非传统内容;要重视总体国家安全观包括的各种非传统国家安全内容,更要重视总体国家安全观内含的非传统安全思维。

如何面对中国自己的问题走向理论原创,摆脱当前理论界依附西方问题和嫁接中西理论的所谓"创新泛化"现象,如何深化理论原创的一些难点和疑点、并将理论原创落实到实践层面,告别理论界空谈理论创新的现象,是本论坛讨论的热点话题。会议汇集文、哲、法各界著名学者讨论人文社会科学共同的基本观念和思维方式的"中国化改造"问题,在学术界尚属首次。会议提出的"中国人自己的理想生活图景"、"中国式的独立观、自由观等观念的建设"、"中国理论原创的前提需要做哪些工作"等命题,使本次论坛收效显著。     

South Sudan: The Elusive Quest for a Resilient Social Contract?

ABSTRACT

After its hard-won independence in 2011, South Sudan slid quickly into violent conflict and became a theatre of enormous human suffering. This article attempts to answer the question of what went wrong, and what prospects exist for South Sudanese to forge a resilient social contract to build and sustain peace. It employs an analytical framework postulating three drivers of such a contract, at the heart of which is how core issues of conflict that underpin violent conflict and fragility have been addressed. The research findings underscore that the way the ruling elites managed the transition to statehood, the development of exclusive weak institutions, and frail social cohesion have all served to undermine peace and the development of a resilient social contract. Core issues of conflict have not been addressed, witnessed by the eruption of civil war in 2013. While the 2015 Peace Agreement provides, at least on paper, the basis for forging a new social contract that holds promise for sustaining peace, building inclusive institutions and nurturing social cohesion, its realization requires political will, strategic leadership, and a national vision, which are currently in short supply.     

Competition@eCommerce.eu: An Appropriate European Approach to the Anticompetitive Implications in the Online World

The economic landscape of Europe has undoubtedly been revolutionised over the last few years with the introduction of new technology into business practices. But along with the inevitable benefits a series of antitrust issues have surfaced, which have often disrupted the application of European Competition Law. This article will analyse and discuss the existing legal framework and recent case law with respect to its capacity to pave the way for enterprises to embrace innovation, and argue that – although the current legal system might be satisfactory to a certain extent – the European Commission should make adjustments and promote the idea of self-regulation, if the EU is to be at the forefront of the online world.

Chronicling the Complexification of Negotiation Theory and Practice

The essay reviews the content of twenty-five years of Negotiation Journal , identifying themes and issues explored on its pages in the past, the current issues challenging the field's scholars and practitioners, and the issues likely to confront us in the future. It argues that while we in the field hoped for simple, elegant, and universal theories of negotiation and conflict resolution, the last twenty-five years have demonstrated the increasing complexification of negotiation theory and practice, from increased numbers of parties and issues, and dilemmas of intertemporal commitments, ethics, accountability, and relationships of private action to public responsibility.
