Whiteness,Class and Grassroots Perspectives on Social Change and Difference

This paper suggests that the definition of the white working class, as an ethnic majority, is fluid and shifting, in contrast to its conventional portrayal as a fixed and static group. They are more than simply voiceless and ‘left behind’, especially with regard to views of multiculturalism, immigration and social change. Using data from two recent studies, we see a range of views expressed by white working class communities, which underlines the need for care to be taken when attempting to describe common‐sense views on these polemical subjects.     

论监督的本质特征

监督的本质是管理和控制。政治监督和法律监督就是对国家权力的管理和控制。监督作为政治制度和法律制度,本质上是一种权力。监督作为一种控权机制,具有制度性、调控性、质疑性、上位性、外在性、独立性、权威性、从属性和有限性等八大属性和本质特征。监督与监察是两个既相联系又有区别的概念,监督中包含着监察,监察为监督的一种具体和特定的实现形式。     

行政复议的权力属性研究简

行政复议是行政法上的一项重要制度.行政复议的权力性质是行政复议理论问题的核心,对完善我国的行政复议制度具有重要的指导意义.关于行政复议权力性质的各种不同学术观点,并指出了它们的局限性,以孟德斯鸠的理论、权力分立的目的和现代行政权扩张为视角,分析指出行政复议的权力属性为行政权,但为了有效达到设立行政复议制度的目的,保证依法行政,行政复议权在运行过程中,必须以司法权的运行模式为模版.     

宅基地使用权收回的性质研究

实践中宅基地使用权收回时常处于或被弃用或被错用或被滥用的状态,究其根源,则在于对宅基地使用权收回的性质缺乏一个合理而精准的界定。为此,通过一体考虑宅基地使用权设立与收回,借鉴合同法中的强制缔约理论与解除权理论,树立宅基地使用权设立的合同观,从而最终将宅基地使用权收回界定为一种私法上的行为——合同解除行为。     

Let's Agree to Agree: Regional Interest Representation in the Negotiations for the 2007–13 and 2014–20 Structural Funds in Germany

The negotiating powers of regional authorities in the European Union (EU) have become more evident, especially with decentralization and regionalization happening across Europe. This empirical case study of regional interest representation offers a comparative analysis of the negotiations for the 2007–13 and 2014–20 EU Structural Funds. Based on qualitative interviews with German subnational officials, this paper explores how the German federal states (Länder) represented their interests at the federal and supranational level. It will be shown that the modes of interest representation changed which can largely be attributed to social learning. This article contributes to existing literature by illustrating the move towards co-operative interest representation with intra-state subnational mobilization.     

海上保险代位权论

海上保险代位权相对性地突破了合同相对性原则,是民法债权制度功能的进一步发展。海上保险代位权的法律属性为债权的法定转移。海上保险代位权兼具了实体法和程序法的双重性质。海上保险代位权制度应予以修订和完善。     

中国传统人权观念再探——一个比较法文化的视角

人权的概念虽然产生于西方 ,但人权的思想并不是西方的专利。我国传统文化中蕴含着大量的人权观念 ,这些观念与西方的人权观念可谓殊途同归。自由观是人权的理论基础 ,中国传统的自由观更强调个人自由和社会利益的协调 ,这种自由正是现代人权观的应有之义。善恶论是人权的人性基础 ,中西方的人性论在本原上都以性善论为基础 ,但西方的性善论在近代被启蒙学者颠覆 ,促成了法治 ,进而弘扬了人权 ,而中国的性善论始终未被颠覆 ,进而无法形成法治 ,人权观念没有变成人权现实。理性观是人权的文化基础 ,这在西方表现为自然法 ,中国古代也有自然法 ,中国的自然法在抽象层面上表现为“道” ,在现实层面上表现为“乐”。“道”中包含了大量的现代的人权观念 ,“乐”所营造的氛围催生了人权观念     

The state as a political practice: Pakistan’s postcolonial state beyond dictatorship and Islam

Abstract

The emphasis since the 1990s in the neoliberal paradigm on the non-interventionist state, and the theoretical disinterest in the state by critical scholarship, has negatively affected the prospects for political and social change. The fragmented and dispersed social movements analysed by critical scholars have proven insufficiently counter-hegemonic. All this invites us to reconsider the postcolonial state at a new theoretical level to guide better choices for political practice. This article analyses the prevalent academic literature on the postcolonial Pakistani state. In these analyses, an omnipresent and omnipotent military state decides the fate of democracy, now and again replacing politicians at the helm and also promoting Islam. Political practice remains confined to inter-elite struggles for the restoration of democracy, whereas imperialist hegemony and the role of marginalised classes as reservoirs of counter-hegemony are largely missing. This article critically builds on the legacy of the renowned Pakistani scholar Hamza Alavi to show, historically and empirically, how imperialist powers (from the United States to China) have used the military as a seat of power to bring the local elite under their hegemony. A political theoretical practice and the building of a counter-hegemony which goes beyond and beneath inter-elite struggles is much needed.     

个体工商户之主体性质与责任承担问题研究——以民事诉讼法司法解释第59条为中心展开

个体工商户已成为我国民营经济的重要组成部分。司法实务中个体工商户之主体性质及责任认定难以统一,既与实体法上对个体工商户主体性质界定的不甚明确有关,更有程序法上对个体工商户诉讼资格的观点转变影响。主要是民事诉讼法司法解释第59条与修订前的司法解释作了相反的规定,个体工商户应以登记的字号为当事人。司法解释对个体工商户诉讼资格的态度转变,引发司法实务上对个体工商户主体性质与责任承担的不同理解。在当前我国立法语境下,个体工商户分为登记起字号和无字号两种形态,应当根据《民法总则》及相关司法解释之规定内涵,对是否起有字号加以区分,尊重当事人意思自治和程序自治,准确列明当事人主体及进行责任认定。
