Introducing Value Chain Stewardship (VCS)

After a decade of international negotiations to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a sufficient number of countries have ratified the Kyoto agreement. However, even with this positive development there is a formidable challenge since, according to the World Resource Institute (WRI 2004), For the most part, developed nations have failed to attain the non-binding emission reductions they committed to in the original climate treaty in 1992. Ensuring adherence to the reductions stated in the treaty by these nations may become an immense managerial task, not to mention the enforcement of sanctions. Instead of national emission targets the approach of this paper is to focus on trade within selected industry sectors – i.e. housing and transport – responsible for most of the world’s GHG emissions. This paper shows that vehicle manufacturers – the design owners – may use their information advantages to influence customers to focus on other aspects of the vehicle than costs during use. Expanding the environmental responsibility of the design owners to coincide with the area of environmental impacts will convert emissions cost into a production cost. It is indicated in this paper that when applying the estimated costs for GHG emissions to the vehicle user, strong enough incentives are not given to drive technological change, but if the responsibility is allocated to the design owner the very same additional costs will be an incentive for the designer to use its information advantage to innovate away from those emissions-rendering technologies. A value chain stewardship (VCS) is, thus, established.     

影响经济欠发达地区实施社区警务战略的制约因素

从西方警务变革历史和现阶段中国公安工作现实的角度,全面理解和把握社区警务战略的提出及其本质,现阶段经济欠发达地区既不具备实施社区警务战略的社会基础,也不存在实施社区警务战略的组织条件和技术手段。因而在实践中,它只是一种思想、一种长远的目标和追求。     

论对犯罪现场信息的充分把握

现场勘查是案件侦查过程中的一个重要组成部分。针对当前犯罪现场的特点,在现有设施条件下要有效地发挥现场勘查的作用,现场勘查的主体必须优化勘查工作:强化侦查意识,实现技术工作与侦查工作的融合;综合认识现场,挖掘犯罪现场的潜在信息;整体把握现场,加强对关联现场的勘查。     

试论公安决策情报工作

公安决策情报工作是直接服务于公安决策的一项基础性工作,具有目标明确、突出服务、突出应用的特点。它服务公安决策,具有耳目、预测、参谋、反馈、宣传等功能。做好公安决策情报工作,应坚持以马克思主义为指导思想、坚持实事求是、坚持理论与实践相结合、坚持深入实际、坚持科学真理等原则。     

让信息研判纳入警务参谋活动的轨道

如果警务信息研判工作在完成了对初始信息的分析后就止步不前,对研判资源是巨大的浪费。充分运用研判工作产生的初步成果,向警务参谋策划职能延伸,进而使研判工作实现与辅助决策和辅助指挥职能的接轨,是让研判工作纳入警务参谋活动轨道的一条捷径,也是对研判工作最大限度地发挥作用的一种追求。完全可以把建设一个研判机构的投入,用来建设一个初具规模的警务参谋机关,并使其功能随之全面提升。     

韩国法学教育与法曹培养制度改革之成因及现状

至今为止韩国通过一次性司法考试选拔法曹人员,这种考试制度没有学历要求,无论是谁只要通过司法考试都可以成为法曹三家之一员,这种考试制度当然有其合理性.然而,21世纪是信息化、国际化的时代,新世纪的法曹人员既懂法律又懂某一方面的专业知识才能满足时代的需求,传统的通过一次性司法考试选拔法曹人员不能满足时代需求是韩国各界的共识.日本的法学教育与司法考试制度的改革之起步晚于韩国,但是,2004年起法科大学院开始正式运营.邻国的这一断然举措极大地影响了韩国改革法学教育与改革司法考试制度的决心,2005年,韩国通过法定化决定彻底改革法学教育与司法考试制度.     

Difficulties in the criminal prosecution of insider trading—A clinical study of the Bekaert case

If the enforcement of insider trading prohibition is of crucial importance to ensure the integrity of financial markets, then the current criminal prosecution in Europe fails in reaching this goal. This article illustrates several difficulties in prohibiting and prosecuting insider trading by using a clinical study of the Belgian industrial company Bekaert, NV. It is shown that courts currently seem to lack knowledge of the functioning of financial markets to assess an insider trading case. Therefore their decisions give little guidance to future litigants. Using, a law and economics framework, this clinical study is clarifying in several aspects compared to a traditional legal analysis. The analysis focuses on two aspects of an insider trading case. First, the price-sensitive character of the information is examined. Second, the standard of proof is examined. JEL classification G14 · K22 · K42
