出借信用卡后擅取存款行为的法律评析

利用信用卡实施犯罪活动是近些年来较为常见的犯罪样态。行为人出借信用卡后擅取存款的行为,从民法上看,由于其没有支付相应对价,实质上属于不当得利。在此情形下,如行为人有能力返回而拒绝返还该财产,则在刑法上应当认定为侵占罪。运用刑民二次违法的思维模式和分析方法,有助于对疑难刑事案件做出正确判断,在司法实践中值得提倡。     

“My World Is Upside Down”: Transnational Iraqi Youth and Parent Perspectives on Resettlement in the United States

The U.S. war with Iraq led to the displacement of millions of Iraqis, many of whom have resettled in the United States as refugees. We explore the challenges Iraqi families face after resettlement, with a particular focus on the agency of refugees and challenges/opportunities of familial social reproduction in a transnational context. We conducted 181 qualitative interviews with 38 Iraqis (11 youth, 27 adults) and 5 service providers. Our findings highlight the importance of exploring refugee agency and illuminate how the interplay between structure and agency in transnational contexts is a useful framework for understanding transformations around social roles.     

船员外派企业之雇主责任浅析

Singing in interaction

Drawing on a database of 26 hours of video-recorded Finnish conversations from three different settings – everyday conversations among family and friends, instrumental lessons and church workplace meetings – we consider the ways in which singing can be used as an interactional resource to enact the three basic communicative motives of humans: requesting, informing, and sharing. Singing has the potential to initiate joint activities, which allows the participants to share their emotional stances. The usage of singing is, however, more limited in requesting or informing – a disadvantage which people, especially in musical settings, need to deal with. There are, nevertheless, situations where the possibility to choose to perform such actions through singing can help maintain mutual solidarity between participants. We argue that people's distinct ways of interpreting spoken and sung utterances can be best understood from the perspective of participants' orientations to agency and accountability.     

Creating other options: negotiating the meanings of citizenships

In this article, I explore the ways in which citizenship is reinvented and reinterpreted through local understandings and experiences. I show how Israeli citizens who had applied for another citizenship create a distinction between their Israeli citizenship, which they conceptualize in terms of identity and belonging, and their ‘European passport’, which they depict as a technical non-obliging document, thus neutralizing the challenge it poses on questions of national loyalty. However, the other sought after citizenship, which represents a legally binding attachment to a nation-state, paradoxically becomes a powerful symbol of freedom, embodying other life possibilities and allowing for an active negotiation of belonging.     

Diplomatic Interactions and Negotiations

This article examines the role of state actors, organization agencies, and individual agents in diplomatic interactions and negotiations. States as diplomatic actors, organizations as diplomatic agencies, and individuals as diplomatic agents enter into complex and interdependent relationships. Proposing a three‐level analysis of interstate interactions and diplomatic negotiations, I argue that no diplomatic negotiation happens without interactions between parties at the state, organizational, and individual levels. The agency–structure paradigm provides a conceptual framework for understanding behavioral and structural properties of international interactions and their influence on diplomatic negotiations. Diplomatic negotiation employs specific forms of interaction, using a distinct language, protocol norms, symbols, ceremonies, and rituals. The state's “self” (as a social conception of its identity, values, and interests) affects the process of diplomatic negotiation. By managing, organizing, and improving international interactions at the actor, agency, and agent levels, negotiating parties can advance the process and effectiveness of diplomatic negotiation.     

论代理问题与公司治理

公司治理结构是建立现代企业制度的核心问题之一。代理关系是公司治理问题产生的一个条件，与公司治理存在着密切的关系。代理关系问题产生的最重要的原因是劳动分工，代理收益大于代理成本是代理关系不断得以拓展的前提。所有权主体多元化与经营管理要求一元化存在着矛盾，如果公司进行外部融资，也必然产生了代理问题，并对公司治理产生一定的影响。     

几种特殊情况下国际商事仲裁协议效力的确认

国际商事仲裁已成为最普遍、最有效的解决国家商贸往来纠纷的方法之一。在进行仲裁过程中，仲裁协议是国际商事仲裁的基石和前提，没有有效的仲裁协议，就不会有有效的国际商事仲裁。一项合法有效的仲裁协议，既是仲裁庭行使管辖权的依据，又是裁决具有执行效力的法律基础。文章通过我国和国际几种特殊情况下仲裁协议理论与实践的对比研究，提出了我国确认仲裁协议效力的问题与完善方法。     

清代抱告制度探析

在清代民事诉讼中,官吏、生监、老幼废疾及妇女为原、被告时非用抱告呈诉官府不予受理是各地通行的惯例。抱告一般为原、被告的亲属或雇工。抱告一般代原、被告呈递诉状,有时亦代原、被告赴公堂对审。抱告制度实质上是中国古代在"无讼"理想追求下对讼争现实作出的制度安排,与今天的诉讼代理制度虽在形式上颇为相似,却不可同日而语。     

关于传统无权代理理论的若干质疑与重构

关于无权代理理论,学界大多主张狭义无权代理不具代理权之表象,且本人有过失并非表见代理的构成要件。本文从理论与实践两个角度对此提出质疑,并对上述理论进行重构。最后,本文还对如何具体适用表见代理制度提出了相关的建议。
