The Frontiers of Legal Analysis: Reframing the Transition in Northern Ireland

British constitutional legal discourse is structurally limited in its capacity to capture the complexity of the Good Friday Agreement. Rather than assessing the Agreement in narrow devolutionary terms, it should be seen as a hybrid domestic and international law instrument, making an important contribution to accepted international law norms in relation to self-determination. The Agreement transforms and partly transcends the Northern Ireland conflict by substituting political contestation for violent conflict, and by defining the modalities of conducting that contestation. This analysis complements classical international law perspectives, and opens up the application of legal discourses associated with 'transitional justice' to the legal and political transformation in Northern Ireland. These discourses focus on the problem of reconciling the demands of peace with the imperatives of justice. The Agreement sits squarely in this terrain with its provisions on 'dealing with the past' and 'institutional legacies'. The insights gained here challenge orthodox thinking about conflict-management and the ongoing political process.

人性论视角下的中西方传统行政文化差异

性善论与性恶论分别是中西方历史上的主流人性思想。总的说来,性善论思想对中国传统行政文化的主导影响是消极的,性恶论思想对西方传统行政文化的主导影响则是积极的。不同的主导影响造成了中西方传统行政文化之间的深刻差异。实现我国行政文化的现代化,需要吸取我国传统行政文化的精华,借鉴西方行政文化的优秀成分,避开两者的不足并积极进行创新。     

证据法的基本权利保障取向

证据法的理性主义传统,既要求通过理性证明的方式去查明事实真相,而非诉诸神明和暴力;又不以追求真相为最高目的,而是将其视为实现正义的手段.这种理性传统,决定了法治国家证据制度具有求真、求善的双重功能,并将公正奉为首要价值,从而奠定了基本权利保障的价值取向.我国证据法学研究和证据制度建设正在经历从义务本位向权利本位转型,权...     

Small Countries,Big Performers: In Search of Shared Strategic Public Sector HRM Practices in Successful Small Countries

This article compares strategic public sector HRM practices between 10 small countries that have consistently shown extraordinary economic, social, and governance performance. The fact that these small countries, which are traditionally considered to be disadvantaged, have become benchmarks of good government suggests they have uniquely maximized and leveraged their key resource: people. In search of novel lessons, we assess through secondary data how their public sectors have organized and institutionalized four key HRM activities: 1) selection, 2) appraisal, 3) training, and 4) compensation, and whether they engage in strategic, centralized efforts to architect and “bundle” these activities. Our exploratory case study findings show that these high performing countries employ various integrated efforts to attract the best and brightest into their public sectors, and train and reward them well, although they differ in terms of their centralization dynamics. We conclude our article with seven propositions for future research and implications for emerging small countries.

优先：刑事被害人权益保护的理念重塑

以往刑法学、犯罪学理论由于将＂国家权益＂或＂被告人权益＂等诸多权益凌驾于＂被害人权益＂之上产生的悖论在现实表明：被害人权益保护的地位未得到合理的重视。或者说,在诸多权益权衡之间,被害人权益总是不得不让位于其他权益,然而只有被害人权益保护才是刑事法治中具有终极意义的根本正义。因此,在出现被害人权益与其他权益出现冲突的情况下,必须坚持被害人权益保护的实质优先性,实现最初的人本关怀。
