无独立请求权第三人的诉讼角色定位

我国民事诉讼中的无独立请求权第三人是指对他人之间争议的诉讼标的不享有独立的实体权利,但案件的处理结果与其有法律上利害关系的诉讼当事人。为维护自己民事权益,第三人可申请参加诉讼或由法院通知其参加诉讼。法院依据相关实体法规定可裁决无独立请求权的第三人承担民事责任。我国的无独立请求权第三人制度在立法上存在着难以回避的矛盾,建议以诉的理论为基础,以“准独立第三人”和“辅助参加人”概念代替“无独立请求权第三人”概念,重构无独立请求权第三人制度。     

从现实出发稳步推进党内民主建设

发展党内民主是党建的目标之一,也是中国政治体制改革的突破口。推行党内民主具有理论的现实性,同时也存在着与实际相冲突的地方。要充分估计现实中的不利因素和存在的问题,科学理解和处理好党内民主与"四个服从"、民主集中制的关系,加强党内民主的制度建设,创造良好的社会政治环境,从而使党内民主建设稳步健康发展。     

劳资合作：入世后我国企业劳资关系的发展方向

入世将引起我国劳资关系的深刻变化,劳资关系的剧烈冲突将成为不争的现实。美国通用汽车公司实施的劳资合同战略为我国企业协调劳资关系提供了成功的经验。遵循“以职工为本”的管理思想,通过劳资双方的互动来加强劳资合作,应该成为我国企业协调和改善劳资关系的方向。     

埃斯特拉达：菲律宾特色民主的产物与替罪羊

菲律宾被罢黜总统埃斯特拉达（以下称埃氏）是菲律宾历届当选总统中得票率最高的“民选”总统,曾被菲律宾人评价为继50年代马克赛赛总统之后最受群众欢迎的总统。然而,在执政后仅一年多便遭致来自各派势力的激烈反对,并成为亚洲第一位遭受弹劾的总统,最终在民变、政变、军变的压力下黯然交出了政权。埃氏作为民选总统,政治生涯在任期仅二年半期间发生了如此戏剧性的变化,其中缘由值得深思。本文试图从菲律宾特色民主为出发点,探索埃氏这位民选总统倒台的原因,并对菲律宾特色民主“EDSA第二次人民力量”的后遗问题进行一些初步的探讨。     

The Evolving Structure of the Environmental Justice Movement in the United States: New Models for Democratic Decision-Making

Over the last two decades in the United States, mainstream environmental organizations have reduced, rather than increased, democratic participation by citizens in environmental problem-solving. The environmental justice movement, on the other hand, has served to enlarge the constituency of the environmental movement by incorporating poorer communities and oppressed people of color into environmental decision making process; build community capacity by developing campaigns and projects that address the common links between various social and environmental problems; and facilitate community empowerment by emphasizing grassroots organizing over advocacy. This paper outlines the different components in the environmental justice movement. It is our contention that if researchers and policymakers continue to conceive of the ecological crisis as a collection of unrelated problems, then it is possible that some combination of regulations, incentives, and technical innovations can keep pollution and resource destruction at tolerable levels for more affluent socioeconomic populations. However, poor working class communities and people of color which lack the political–economic resources to defend themselves will continue to suffer the worst abuses. However, if the interdependency of issues is emphasized as advocated by the environmental justice movement, then a transformative environmental politics can be invented.

Democratic Political Competence: Clearing the Underbrush and a Controversial Proposal

Though the link between democracy and an appropriately trained citizen is obvious, the theoretical and empirical nature of this association is murky despite mountains of scholarship addressing this topic. Part of this problem is that the term democratic competence has been stretched almost to the point of uselessness. This constant adding of desired traits—many of which are ideologically driven—misdirects effort away from such complex problems as the relationship between individual attributes and collective capacities. Moreover, recent research has often been guilty of using data of uncertain relevance to demonstrate a competence that seems largely an analytical artifact. We conclude by offering an approach that stresses old- fashioned traits such as patriotism that seem necessary to the existing, and quite democratic, status quo.     

间接受害人制度初探

间接受害人的直接用语出现在司法实践中,立法上不甚明确.间接受害人享有赔偿请求权的理由是抚养丧失,其受害和侵权行为之间具有间接因果关系.间接受害人应由现实利益的受害人和机会的受害人构成.加害人对间接受害人赔偿的计算标准,应是直接受害人生前或伤前的抚养能力和受害人的实际需要,赔偿的项目应规定为"抚养费"而不是"生活费".
