关于完善我国法律服务市场的若干思考

一个完善成熟的法律服务市场应是一个以律师主体全方位参与的统一的、开放的、竞争有序的、规范的市场。而我国目前的法律服务市场仍然处于较混乱状态:非法从事法律服务、不合理的法律准入制度、地方保护主义、律师事务所管理不当等现象严重。因此,我国法律服务市场有待改革:实行律师业务垄断,建立科学、合理、健全的律师制度,完善律师事务所的运行机制,提高律师本身的综合素质,从而促进我国法律服务市场与国际法律服务市场的接轨。

检察机关在民事诉讼中的法律地位问题悬而不决,使民事检察工作长期以来总是处于尴尬的境地。因此,如何确定检察机关在民事诉讼中的法律地位问题,成为民事检察监督研究的重点问题,这一问题既是理论问题,又是立法及司法实践亟待解决的问题。     

证券服务机构独立责任承担的探讨

证券服务机构责任承担问题是2005年证券法修改时被忽略的一个问题.本文主要是对我国目前证券服务机构现行的责任机制和证券服务机构有约束的自律、许可证制度、刑事责任、行政责任、民事责任进行分析,从而得出加强证券服务机构民事责任的结论.通过对现行民事责任中的连带责任进行分析,认为应当建立独立责任机制并辅助以其它相关制度,确立证券服务机构独立责任的归责原则和构成要件.     

Marriage and power: Age at first marriage and spousal age gap in lesser developed countries

This paper examines age at first marriage for women and spousal age gap as an indicator for female agency from 1950 to 2005. Using a dataset of 77 LDCs this paper seeks to explore which variables determine differences at a country level in marriage patterns. We look at the influence of urbanisation, education, percentage population of Muslim faith, and family type. We find that education is a key in determining at what age women marry, having as would be expected a positive effect on age at first marriage and depressing spousal age gap. Urbanisation is significant, with a positive effect on age and negative on spousal age gap, although the effect is not very large. The percentage Muslim variable depresses female age at first marriage and increases spousal age gap but only when family type is not controlled for. The initially strong negative effect of percentage population Muslim over the period under consideration on age of first marriage has decreased, which raises some interesting questions about the role of Islam in female empowerment.

Official apologies,reconciliation, and settler colonialism: Australian indigenous alterity and political agency

The burgeoning literature on transitional justice, truth commissions, reconciliation and official apologies tends to ignore the conditions of settler states in which ‘reconciliation’ needs to take account of indigenous minorities. The settler colonialism literature is worth including in the general discussion because it is exceptionally reflective about political theory (the constitutional recognition of indigenous rights) and ethnogenesis (the origin and viability of both settler and indigenous identities), challenging mainstream liberalism, in particular, to account for difference beyond platitudes about multiculturalism. This article highlights the postcolonial critiques of the Australian governments' apology to the indigenous peoples of the country. The authors of these critiques seek to protect indigenous alterity from the Australian state, which they regard as irredeemably colonialist, especially in its liberal and progressive mode. The article suggests that Indigenous political agency transcends the resistance/co-option dichotomy presented in much of the apology's commentary.     

论我国代理制度对仲裁条款的影响——以《合同法》第402、403条为切入点

我国合同法第402、403条分别规定了隐名代理、与英美法系不公开本人身份的代理相类似的代理形式,在这两种代理中,代理人以自己的名义订立合同,本人与第三人之间并不存在直接的仲裁合意,那么仲裁条款能否约束本人与第三人呢?我国仲裁法及相关司法解释并没有做出规定。从理论上分析,在第402条的情况下,仲裁条款可以直接约束本人与第三人。而在第403条的情况下,则需要进行具体分析,不能直接适用合同法的法条规定。     

Citizenship and the speaking subject

This article explores the ways in which schools have historically promoted – or failed to nurture – the speaking voices of future citizens. It sets out a theoretical rationale for taking pedagogies of speaking seriously and reports on a project designed to enhance the communicative awareness and confidence of 11–18-year olds. It concludes by considering practical ways in which civic practices nurtured in schools can avoid being hampered by unacknowledged disparities of communicative competence.     

社会保险经办机构的法律定位

我国《社会保险法》的顺利实施受制于社会保险经办机构管理体制的顺畅与否。我国以前立法对社会保险经办机构的性质和职能的法律定位不明,而《社会保险法》回避了这一问题,直接影响到社会保险业务的办理。因此,很有必要在理论上对社会保险机构的性质和职能进行定位,并在立法上予以明确。通过对社会保险经办机构现状和现行立法相关条文的分析可以看出,我国社会保险经办机构应该定位为以服务为主但具有行政管理职能的事业单位。     

仲裁机构在事业单位分类改革中的困境及建议——以北京仲裁委员会为例

北京仲裁委员会(北仲)发展的成功经验是坚持民间化方向,实行事业单位企业化管理。北仲在本次分类推进事业单位改革中遇到的最大困境是没有与其性质、职能相近的事业单位分类类型和适应其发展的相关政策。为了更好地发展我国仲裁事业,建议在事业单位分类推进改革中,增加一种事业单位类型,类似2007年事业单位改革方案中的公益三。
