论国际商事仲裁的保密性与物权变动的公示公信原则——评国际商事仲裁的保密性对《中华人民共和国物权法》第二十八条、第三十一条的影响

仲裁的保密性被认为是国际商事仲裁的显著特征之一,而公示公信是物权法上一个很重要的原则。保密性在于不为公众所知,公示公信在于为公众所知并相信。如果法律在某一个方面同时存在两者,其冲突就会导致两者或者其中之一无效。笔者以商事仲裁的保密性为切入点,通过对《中华人民共和国物权法》第28条、第31条的逻辑分析得出物权公示公信原则有可能与国际商事仲裁的保密性相冲突,并讨论冲突所带来的影响和提出适当的解决途径。     

Financial Institutions between Effectiveness and Legitimacy – A Legal Analysis of the World Bank,Global Environment Facility and Prototype Carbon Fund

Environmental financing is one of the crucial issues of international environmental law and its implementation. From an environmental perspective a prerequisite for success is that financial resources are used in an environmentally effective way. Whether the World Bank, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Prototype Carbon Fund (PCF) can be perceived as effective environmental actors has to be measured by their objectives, their potential to promote accepted environmental standards and their relevant funding practices. After significant improvements of their environmental policies, the World Bank must be considered the most important institution for environmental financing due to its involvement in environmental trust funds but also in regard to its regular lending practices. The GEF remains exceptional due to its institutional structure and scope, whereas the PCF is an example of public–private partnerships that might be a model for future financing via trust funds. Since acceptance of institutions can only be created if they are considered to be legitimate, legitimacy is closely tied to effectiveness. The main criteria for legitimacy are state consent and the equality of states as well as supplementary considerations such as transparency and public participation. From this perspective the World Bank, GEF and PCF structures of voting and participation have come a long way, and despite their particularities and deficiencies they reflect to a varying degree elements of legitimate decision making.     

试评《物权法（草案）》对银行业务的影响

物权法是调整财产关系的重要法律,与我们每个人的切身利益都息息相关,银行亦不例外。为此,我们对《物权法(草案)》进行了认真研究,以期更好地指导业务的开展。该草案将对银行产生有利的影响,比如扩大了可用于担保的财产范围、增加了最高额质押这种担保形式、建立了方便快捷的统一登记制度等,这些都将极大地促进银行信贷业务的稳健发展。但是,我们也应看到,草案给银行带来机遇的同时,也使银行面临着更大的挑战。新的异议登记、预告登记、将来的动产抵押以及居住权制度等,都对银行提出了更高的要求。在对该草案的有利影响和不利影响进行分析的基础上,本文还提出了银行的应对措施。     

Overreaching In Registered Land Law

Beneficial interests under a trust were not intended to be overriding interests under section 70(1)(g) of the Land Registration Act 1925. The position was altered by Williams & Glyn's Bank Ltd v Boland , which determined that an interest under a trust for sale would bind a purchaser if the beneficiary were in actual occupation. The decision raised the question whether such interests could be overreached once the beneficiary was in occupation of the trust property. City of London Building Society v Flegg held that the relevant beneficial interest had been overreached. Both decisions assume that overreaching in registered conveyancing takes effect as it does in unregistered land. Yet there is considerable evidence that the Land Registration Act contains its own overreaching machinery. The House of Lords applied the wrong overreaching provisions in Boland and Flegg and there is no legal basis on which to recognise that trust interests can override a subsequent disposition under section 70(1)(g).

The Development Mandate of International Institutions: Where Did it Come From?

What was the origin of the commitment of international institutions to promote economic development in poorer countries? A popular view in “post-development” scholarship has been that this international development project was born with Truman’s Point Four program of 1949. This article suggests instead that it emerged for the first time in a significant way out of the Bretton Woods conference of 1944, with US-Latin American relations in the early 1940s acting as a key incubator for this innovation in international governance. This historical reinterpretation leads to a different view of the initial content of the international development project and the politics that generated it. It also challenges those who have downplayed the significance of the development content of the Bretton Woods negotiations.

理性看待中国在世界银行投票权的扩大

我国在世界银行投票权的扩大,为更好维护国家利益提供了平台,为实现发达国家与发展中国家平等享受世界银行投票权奠定了基础,也为中国提高在世界银行话语权提供了信用支撑。但是,我们不应该对中国在世界银行投票权扩大的实际价值有过高的期望,投票权扩大并不能改变中国处于发展中国家的定位,也没有动摇美国一股独大的局面,投票权扩大意味着中国将承担更多的责任,因而应理性看待这一改革。
