Legal ‘Elasticity’ and ‘Sidestepping’ in European Crisis Management of Financial Markets

This paper explores the roles played by law in crisis management of financial markets and some possible consequences. Three questions are raised ‐‐about the ‘elastic’ use of law, about ‘sidestepping’ existing legal order by invention of new structures and about redistributive consequences. These questions are appraised empirically in relation to three areas of financial market law: public support given to banking from 2008 onwards; English case law concerning derivatives contracts when confronted with Lehman‐style insolvencies; and the European Stability Mechanism, which during summer 2015 was being primed in relation to Greece. On the first two case studies, law, having been mightily stretched, did not break. Likewise, legal sidestepping, as epitomised by the European Stability Mechanism, may result in a less coherent legal structure; however such incoherence may be not be fatal to the ensemble. On all three fronts, redistributive questions remain controversial, but controversy in itself does not undermine legal structures. A particular form of theory, the Legal Theory of Finance, is discussed in light of the case studies. Such theory may have an unfulfilled longing to discern law‐like regularities (ironically chasing economics).     

Partnership between academics and practitioners – Addressing the challenges in forensic science

This research discusses the development of academic-practitioner partnerships in forensic science and examines the opinions and experience of those involved in the field. An anonymous online survey was completed by 56 participants who work in the field of forensic science. The questions related to their work experience, their experience of research and partnership, and their opinions on the benefits and barriers that exist. The results were analysed using a mixed methods approach, with quantitative analysis of the responses to closed questions using two-way chi-square statistical analysis, and qualitative analysis of the free text responses using reflexive thematic analysis. This work identifies the demand for partnership, the perceived benefits and barriers that exist, and establishes how the role of the participant (academic, pracademic or practitioner) impacts their view of partnership. We include the term pracademic to mean an individual who has worked as a practitioner and an academic, not necessarily simultaneously. Quantitative analysis identified that there was very little statistically significant difference in the responses between groups. Pracademics considered that ‘institutional and cultural’ and ‘lack of the respect of the other role’ were more significant barriers than the other groups. Association was also found between those with greater experience of research and the view that partnership ‘improved legitimacy in practice’ and ‘increased legitimacy of research’. There was also statistical significance in those with more than average experience of partnership who identified ‘improved legitimacy in practice’ as a benefit of partnership.Reflexive thematic analysis of free text comments identified a need and demand for partnership with three key themes developed as being necessary for successful partnership. These are the ‘three ‘R’s’ – the need for effective communication and the development of a Relationship; the Relevance of the partnership to the participants role; and the inclusion of personal Reward such as improved practice or better research.

国家、教育分层与农民工子女社会流动:contain机制下的阶层再生产

农民工子女实现上向社会流动的阶梯不仅受到流动儿童教育"两为主"政策和从城市回原籍的中考安排影响,在更宏大层面上它还受到国家与农民工关系、学籍户籍双认证的高考安排制约。为适应二元社会结构的渐进转型,经由围堵策略和contain机制,流动儿童独特的教育获得方式成为当下社会分层机制和农民工阶层再生产的重要一环。

论司法鉴定的内部防范机制

司法鉴定内部防范机制是鉴定监督的一个组成部分,是预防错误鉴定发生的基本途径和有效手段。近年来,司法鉴定中暴露出的问题越来越多,建立司法鉴定内部防范机制已成为必然。它包括制度、机构和运作系统三方面内容。完善、系统的司法鉴定内部防范机制应当有坚实的组织机构、鉴定行为的全面标准化、健全的防范制度体系等。     

论中国公民海外权益保护权—以利比亚撤侨为视角

中国公民海外权益保护权是中国公民在海外依法享有的一项宪法基本权利,有自己独立的特征。党和国家一贯重视保护中国公民在海外的正当权益,并不断加大保护力度,尤其体现在利比亚大撤侨的全过程中。保护海外中国公民权益,是我国国家性质、国家主权属性的内在要求,也是我们党的执政理念和维护人权的法治精神的重要体现。当然,保护海外中国公民合法权益工作还存在一些不足,值得我们认真总结和反思。     

浅析外空安全面临的挑战——兼论中国参与外空安全机制构建的战略选择

进入21世纪以来,世界主要国家都把利用和控制太空作为本国政治和军事战略利益的重要组成部分,加大对外层空间（以下简称外空）技术的投入,积极参与外空竞争,使得外空安全变得日趋复杂。当前,外空安全主要面临有限的轨道资源、外空环境污染和武器化三方面的挑战。鉴于当前外空安全机制面临机制不健全、强制力不足、不能适应外空活动新发展等,中国应从积极推动建设＂和谐外空＂、推动进一步完善外空国际法的国际进程、坚决反对外空武器化、以合作推动外空安全机制的构建着手,与国际社会一道努力建设一个和平、发展、合作与法制的外空。     

内幕交易民事赔偿诉讼机制探析

当前,关于如何认定内幕交易民事赔偿实体因素的理论已经相当成熟,而对与之相配套的诉讼机制的探讨并不充分,相关的细化措施也未得到广泛论证。故需要结合特定实体因素的认定,在解决如何防治恶意证券诉讼、证券法律法规是否应明确将公司本身列为内幕信息知情人、怎样计算损失、如何针对内幕交易改造我国的代表人诉讼等问题的基础上,着重构建内幕交易民事赔偿诉讼的预防机制、主体认定机制、损失计算机制和实现机制。
