我国林权纠纷解决机制及其完善

解决林权纠纷是新时期集体林权制度改革的必要前提和重要保障。我国在法理和实践层面都存在着林权纠纷的多元化解决机制,包括民间性、行政性和司法性纠纷解决机制。但这些机制在观念认知、制度安排和方式方法上都还存在诸多问题,当前迫切需要加强多元化、法治化和专业化建设。     

两岸投资协议下争端解决的机构选择

自两岸签署《海峡两岸经济合作架构协议（ECFA）》之后,两岸投资保护协议成为一项重要议程。因此,如何选择投资争端解决的模式就显得至关重要：既要避开政治上的考虑,如选择ICSID解决争端,又要避开让人窘迫的WTO解决模式,还要避开有利益冲突的各种解决争端机构。本文围绕这个主题。提出一个比较新型和理想的模式,即选用第三地仲裁机构解决两岸的投资争端,而香港的仲裁机构应该是一个最佳选择。     

Acknowledging the Other Side in Negotiation

In a negotiation study, we investigated the efficacy of acknowledging an opponent's role in securing a concession made to that opponent. The study featured a face-to-face, one-shot bargaining session between a student favoring marijuana legalization and a confederate playing the role of a legalization opponent. When the confederate acknowledged the student's putative influence in producing a concession by the confederate, the student perceived the magnitude of the concession to be greater and was more likely to accept it. The student negotiators also reported that they liked the other party more following acknowledgement, and our mediational analysis suggested that enhanced interpersonal sentiments played a role in facilitating agreement. In this article, in addition to documenting these findings, we also discuss their implications, both for theoretical analyses of conflict and negotiation and for the practical problem of settling disputes.     

论证券仲裁制度的建立——兼论新型经济纠纷的司法与司法外解决

证券纠纷等新型经济纠纷公、私交融，体现出政府等社会多元主体从不同层面参与现代市场经济的活动之中。在我国现行司法体制下，“行政前置”是目前证券诉讼等众多新型经济纠纷面临困境的病灶所在，行业仲裁制度完全应该发挥更大的制度贡献。证券仲裁等行业仲裁的建立可能为审查政府经济行为提供更多的制度选择，为“官与官的民事纠纷”、“官与民的民事纠纷”解决提供了更多司法外解决的制度选择，从而为中国经济法的实现提供更多的途径和方式。     

试论警察的调纷职能——警察调解纠纷新职能的出现

警察站在自由与秩序之间,一方面,民众要求更多自由和权利,另一方面,国家要求社会拥有更大程度的稳定和秩序安宁;民众对警察的期待,国家对警察设定的目标,两个方面均衡地决定了警察的职能.现代警察科学理论从不同的方面界定了警察职能,而基于对当代中国警务实践的考察,警察应该具有调解纠纷的职能,赋予警察调解纠纷的力量,才能更好地解决中国基层的现实问题,维护民间稳定,促进基层社会发展.     

Online Dispute Resolution and Bargaining

The automated negotiation process seems to be a powerful mechanism to resolve disputes arising from Internet-based transactions. Automated negotiation is an online blind-bidding process in which an automated algorithm evaluates bids from the parties and settles the case if the offers are within a prescribed range. Following the arguments of the dispute resolution professionals, the main advantage of this procedure is to promote natural agreements by restoring the parties' right to negotiate on their own, without the presence of a third party in the shadow of negotiations. Our purpose is to investigate this issue by modelling the automated negotiation process as a two-person bargaining game under incomplete information. A first result states that, given incomplete information, not all mutually beneficial agreements can be attained via the procedure. Furthermore, the settlement rule has a drastic effect on the players' strategies, which induces that the automated negotiation process does not significantly increase the likelihood of a settlement. The ability of the procedure to generate efficiency is only due to the costs imposed on parties if a disagreement occurs, that is the combination of players' risk aversion and uncertainty.     

Coordinating Transitional Justice

Conflict resolution professionals sometimes differ from human rights professionals about the best approaches to transitional justice, particularly with regard to the scope, conditions, and timing of possible amnesties from prosecution for perpetrators of war crimes and human rights abuses. When human rights and conflict resolution professionals work at cross‐purposes, they may work less effectively to end conflict, abuses, and crimes, and to implement peace accords. A consensus among conflict resolution and human rights scholars about which legal norms should govern post‐conflict amnesty programs appears to be developing. Against this emerging legal framework, human rights and conflict resolution professionals should, I argue, develop processes for working together more effectively in the design and implementation of context‐sensitive approaches to transitional justice. These process principles should address the entire conflict period, from escalation through resolution to post‐conflict reconstruction. In this article, I describe a tentative, general framework for coordinating the development of transitional justice programs. This proposed framework is intended to stimulate and guide discussion of these issues among conflict resolution and human rights professionals and scholars.     

Conflict Resolution: Lessons from the Dayton Peace Process

The Bosnian War (1992–1995) was one of the most brutal conflicts in Europe since the end of World War II. Thirty‐four cease‐fires failed to produce peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina until the late American diplomat, Richard Holbrooke, brokered one that set the stage for a series of negotiations—starting in the Balkans and ending in Dayton, Ohio. The Dayton peace process finally terminated the Bosnian War. The interplay of military intervention by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and diplomacy by the United States was remarkable. This article highlights thirteen conflict resolution lessons or “Holbrookeisms” that can be learned from the Dayton peace process. Some aspects of Holbrooke's approach toward the peace process helped him to successfully mediate an end to the Bosnian War, while others contributed toward some of the existing cleavages in today's Bosnian society.     

Outbursts: An Evolutionary Approach to Emotions in the Mediation Context

Evolutionary psychology offers a powerful framework for understanding the ultimate function of emotions, and that understanding can be applied usefully in the mediation context. In this article, we first introduce the relevant theoretical foundational assumptions of the evolutionary approach to emotions and then use anger and gratitude to illustrate the evolved functions and effects of emotions on cognition and behavior before exploring specific implications for mediation. We also discuss mediator strategies for leveraging anger and gratitude, as well as the potential for future research applying an evolutionary approach to understanding emotions in mediation.
