创造国际直接投资新环境开拓中俄经贸合作新局面

中俄两国经贸关系走上了正常发展的轨道,相互投资成为深化两国经济关系的重要内容。国际直接投资是突破贸易壁垒、进入一国市场的重要手段,也是稳定中俄经济关系的根本基础。中俄相互投资存在经济转轨尚未完全实现、法律法规不健全、缺乏有效的筹资渠道、沟通渠道不畅等制度性和基础性障碍。为促进中俄两国相互投资健康、快速发展,应在签定双边投资协定、建立中俄商业协会、开辟投资融资途径、相互建立工业园区以及举办投资洽谈会等方面构建相互投资的宏观环境。     

违反安全保障义务侵权行为的赔偿责任探析

公共场所、宾馆、学校等从事经营活动或其他社会活动的人,违反安全保障义务而给消费者或其他社会大众造成人身、财产损失的行为,是一种不作为侵权行为,经营者必须对此后果承担赔偿责任。经营者承担赔偿责任必须符合一般侵权行为民事责任的构成要件。承担责任的形式可能是直接责任,也可能是补充责任。     

再论法治的价值

主流观点认为,法治的核心价值是人的尊严与自由。这是一个可以质疑的观点。在百年中国的历史上,法治的价值主要被理解为救亡与治乱;对于不同的主体而言,法治的价值与意义也是不一样的。要全面地理解法治的价值,有必要把法治的价值分为两个层面：直接价值与间接价值。     

The distribution of health care financing in the overall population and among the elderly

This paper focuses on the distribution of health care costs among the elderly. Four revenue sources are considered: income taxes, payroll taxes, user fees, and insurance premiums. The empirical work shows that the heavy reliance on direct payments as a means of collecting revenues among the elderly makes their contribution to the health care financing structure more regressive than for the nonelderly.     

“直接适用的法“与公共秩序保留制度比较研究

在国际私法中,适用直接适用的法和公共秩序保留制度都可以达到排除外国法,从而维护本国的主权和利益的效果,其中"直接适用的法"作为20世纪中期兴起的一种理论学说,反映了随着国家职能的加强,国家要求进一步加强对政治、经济、生活干预的要求.而传统国际私法中的公共保留制度在近来也发生了变化.作为能够达到同样目的的两种手段,两者之间关系如何?是否具有互换性?本文拟就此问题进行分析阐述,并对公共秩序保留制度中间接限制模式的存在提出新的见解.     

直接民主制的困境和代议制民主的防护保障机制

直接民主制作为民主的一种实现形式,是人类政治文明发展史上的一项伟大创举。然而,随着人类历史的发展以及民族国家的兴起,直接民主制从政治实践到理论本身都面临着困境。代议制民主的产生为民主车轮继续前行注入新的动力。但是,代议制民主自身同样也面临着天然的或衍生的缺陷,必须为其构建防护机制,以保障其有效运行。     

Medical regulation of cognitive enhancement devices: some concerns

The authors present a cogent and detailed case for altering the Medical Devices Directive to allow regulation of cognitive enhancement devices (CEDs). Protection against significant risk of harm, especially for the vulnerable, and promotion of benefit through informed use of CEDs are all good features of the proposal. However, the pre-market approval process has limitations, which we explore. We raise the possibility of ‘risk compensation’ in response to the introduction of safety measures, which could alter its effectiveness. The proposal alludes to use of ‘formally trained practitioners,’ which provide a further tier of regulation for CEDs within the proposal. We consider some positive and negative implications of this aspect of the proposal that might warrant further consideration.     

包庇黑社会性质组织罪若干问题研究

包庇黑社会性质组织罪是指国家机关工作人员包庇黑社会性质组织的行为。它是修订后的刑法在第 2 94条第 4款所增加的一个新罪名。本罪所侵犯的直接客体是什么 ?包庇的对象是否只能是“黑社会性质的组织” ?“包庇”行为如何界定以及本罪的立法是否需要进一步的完善等问题均值得研究     

Against All Odds? Russia’s Financial Crisis and Global Geopolitics

Over the past 15 years, Russia’s model of political-economy has evolved around three main channels of global economic integration: 1) export of natural resources and a national system of redistribution of export revenues; 2) financialisation, acting as a boost for domestic consumption/demand; and 3) the offshore integration of Russian capital into global capital markets. The current crisis is affecting all three channels of Russia’s global political economy. Together, reduced export revenues, the deepening financial crisis and the dominance of offshore-sourced investments into Russia, serve as crisis transmission mechanisms, and thus constitute three sets of (inter-related) dilemmas for the Russian authorities. Four scenarios of possible development of the current situation are provided.     

陕甘宁边区的民主选举原则小议

陕甘宁边区的政权依据新形式下的民主选举原则,既保证了无产阶级在各级政府中的地位,又广泛地吸收了各抗日阶级、阶层的代表到政权机关中去,从而体现了抗日民众当家作主的权利。这种民主选举原则在陕甘宁边区,以及其他抗日民主区域得到实施和发展,成为激发广大人民抗日积极性和创造性的动力,坚持和扩大民族革命战争无穷力量的源泉。今天,仍不失为我们应遵循的民主选举原则。
