亚太地区安全结构转型与东盟的角色

冷战结束后,亚太地区的安全结构经历了巨大的变化,特别是当前中关两国在亚太地区发生"权力分享"乃至"权力转移"之际,亚太地区安全结构的调整尤为显著。一方面,以美国为枢轴的"同盟型"结构经历了由"轮辐体系"向"网络化"的转型,形成了新的同盟、准同盟和潜在同盟的层次化布局;另一方面,以中俄为代表的新兴经济体在强化原有的"协作型"安全架构的同时,又通过"一带一路""欧亚联盟"等战略性倡议重塑亚太乃至整个欧亚大陆的地缘战略态势。作为亚太地区安全结构中的"第三股力量",东盟通过对一系列多边安全机制的建设,既为两种大国主导的安全架构提供了对话平台,也已成为实现未来亚太地区整体性安全架构的可行性路径之一。与此同时,由于大国战略竞争的加剧,逐渐侵蚀了东盟聚合力、中立性乃至在整体性安全架构中的"中心地位"。未来亚太地区安全架构的解构和重构需要中关找到新的战略共识,并对东盟的中心地位进行"再确认"。

The Conviction of Dr. Crippen: New Forensic Findings in a Century‐Old Murder

Abstract: Dr. Hawley Crippen was accused and convicted of murdering his wife in London in 1910. Key to the conviction was microscopic analysis of remains found in the Crippen’s coal cellar, which were identified as Cora Crippen based on a scar she was said to have. Dr. Crippen was hanged, always proclaiming his innocence. In this study, genealogical research was used to locate maternal relatives of Cora Crippen, and their mitochondrial haplotypes were determined. Next, one of the pathology slides of the scar was obtained, DNA was isolated, and the haplotype was determined. That process was then repeated. Finally, both DNA isolates were assayed for repetitive elements on autosomes and repetitive elements specific to the Y chromosome. Based on the genealogical and mitochondrial DNA research, the tissue on the pathology slide used to convict Dr. Crippen was not that of Cora Crippen. Moreover, that tissue was male in origin.     

古罗马公权力的构成与近现代西方政权结构的基本模式——关于政体与权力分立学说的理论与实践

权力分立,在古代的罗马已经初步形成。这种公共权力的分配与运行,到了现代社会有了一套完整的理论体系,西方各国根据古典主义、启蒙学者提供的学说理论进行了数百年的实践,形成了各种不同的实践模式。比较古代罗马与近现代社会的实践,可以发现它们之间的源流关系。通过社会关系史的变迁进一步考察他们之间的差异,以及形成这些差异的原因,可以为我们深入研究权力分立学说的理论创造条件,同时也为社会科学的相关领域提供研究基础。     

《唐律疏议》与犯罪学

《唐律疏议》是唐朝的一部主要法典,也是我国现存第一部内容完整的法典。它与犯罪学关系密切,含有关于犯罪行为、犯罪原因、犯罪类型、犯罪对策等理论。与现代犯罪学理论相比,《唐律疏议》又有明显的差异,突出表现在它具有一些现代犯罪学中所没有的特权、等级关系、相隐、刑讯等内容。     

中国古代的民事诉讼习惯

中国早期的民事审判,采取灵活的程序和开放的形式。春秋战国后,以成文法典为主,多种法律形式并存,法典中刑事法律制度详尽,民事法律制度粗疏,民事诉讼制度更是寥寥无几。民事实体法主要表现为礼仪、风俗,民事程序法仍然保留了诉讼习惯形式。民事诉讼习惯不仅反映制度生成的具体环境和条件,而且通过实证的视角,展现了制度运行的细节及其作用、功能和价值。民事诉讼习惯是包括官府和当事人在内的所有诉讼主体必须遵循的规范,随着时间和地域的差异,表现出了多样性和灵活性,服务于国家和地方政府的社会治理目标。
