宁夏农业发展中的金融支持问题研究

农业发展离不开金融的支持。从1993年至2003年10年间金融支持农业的基本情况可以看出,金融信贷与宁夏农业之间保持着高度的相关性。但是,金融机构提供的金融服务与农业对金融的需求相比还有很大差距。因此,应进一步加大金融支农的力度。     

医疗损害责任立法若干问题思考

《侵权责任法·医疗损害责任》立法,是医疗损害赔偿案件法律适用由二元向一元转归的标志,但是在立法的基本理念和具体问题的处理上仍然存在很多缺陷。医疗损害赔偿是一种特殊的民事赔偿,不应完全照搬一般民事侵权赔偿,此次立法没有体现该理念,更没有体现医疗损害限额限项赔偿制度。立法中以过错责任为原则,过错推定为例外的归责原则,没有将医疗行为及我国医疗行业的特殊性体现出来,严重过错作为医疗损害责任构成的首要条件更为合理。而且免除医疗机构赔偿的情形规定得也不充分,医疗责任保险作为医疗损害赔偿的基础,在立法中也没有体现。     

论农业补贴的农村环境保护功能——以欧美农业补贴制度的比较为视角

近年来欧盟和美国的农业补贴法律和政策的调整,显示出农业补贴具有维持和改善的双重农村环境保护功能,是农村环境保护激励机制发挥作用的重要媒介。我国农业补贴制度和环境保护制度应有机结合,充分发挥农业补贴的农村环境保护功能。     

资本化视角下的农地使用权交易

农地使用权是土地承包经营权物权化的一种用益物权。农地使用权交易的实质是将农地作为产权和资本来经营。农地使用权交易在产权明晰的前提下,依照有偿使用和有偿流转原则,通过市场机制形成农地使用权的均衡价格,实现农民发展权益。该机制不仅有利于农地形成规模化、集约化经营,而且将更有效地保护耕地,实现农地资源有效率地配置,促进城乡经济全面协调发展。     

再谈保险公司治理结构——以法律为视角

保险公司经营的特殊性决定了其治理结构的特殊性.但我国现行立法对保险公司治理结构的规制在实践中并不能完全适应保险公司治理的特殊要求,表现在股东的权利义务、股东大会制度、信息披露、董事会、监事会制度等诸多方面都存在问题.完善我国保险公司的治理结构,应借鉴吸收有关国际组织的成熟规范.结合保险公司治理的特殊性,健全保险公司治理结构的国内法制.

人身保险合同常见条款研究

在长期的保险实践中,保险业界逐渐形成了一些规范人身保险合同的条款,常见的有不可抗辩条款、年龄误告条款、自杀免责条款、战争免责条款、宽限期条款、复效条款、不丧失价值条款、保单贷款条款、保单转让条款。这些条款衡平了投保人、被保险人、受益人与保险人之间的利益,促进了寿险业的健康发展,维护了寿险市场的正常秩序。     

Bridging the gender gap in agricultural development through gender responsive extension and rural advisory services delivery in Ghana

Despite the critical role women play in agricultural development their access to extension and rural advisory services delivery is limited. To improve this situation, an in-depth understanding of the importance of gender-responsive extension delivery is required. A case study of the Agricultural Development and Value Chain Enhancement Program that put in extra efforts to reach more female farmers with extension delivery and other rural advisory services was conducted. The study investigates how gender dynamics interact with the agricultural extension delivery with particular reference to the adoption of improved technologies. A total sample of 592 smallholder farmers were interviewed in selected communities in Northern Ghana. In addition to one-on-one interviews, 18 focus group discussions were also conducted in the surveyed districts. Study findings confirmed that male farmers had more access to agricultural extension delivery than their female counterparts because of their relatively better financial standing, large farm sizes, mobility to access extension and rural advisory service providers outside their communities. The study identified gendered associations with some crop types across all the study districts. However, the gendered extension delivery led to a new sociocultural order that seems to break down the gendered associations with the adoption of improved technologies.     

Labor strategies and agribusiness counterstrike during the Bracero Era: the peculiar case of the National Farm Labor Union, 1946–1952

This article investigates the responses of the political establishment and the agro-industry to the militant actions of the National Farm Labor Union (NFLU) from 1946 until 1952. It confirms the well-known hypothesis that the maintenance of the bracero program affected the efforts to form agricultural unions in California, but it also underlines strategies and the roles played by the agro-industry, California Farm Placement Service and other federal instances of government in the weakening of agricultural unionization. It argues that the agricultural unions’ weakness in California throughout this period can be attributed to the needs of the food-processing industry and the latter’s special relationship with the political establishment. I demonstrate that while the failure to consolidate agricultural unions in California during the postwar years, is not attributable to the strategies adopted by the NFLU per se, it is closely related to a lack of support from the major political players and to the privileged relationship they built up with Mexican officials. The influence of some public servants, political representatives and agribusiness lobbyists has been crucial for the continuation of the bracero program and has also obstructed the NFLU to organize efficiently strikes and boycotts.
