公众参与立法问题研究

公众参与与立法在我国宪法等法律、法规中有明确规定,而且在急剧变化的中国社会中,公众参与立法的重要性和迫切性日益凸显,但是我国当前公众参与立法存在参与形式单一、参与意识薄弱等突出问题,需要从立法保护、宣传教育等多种渠道加以完善。     

论民事证人拒不出庭作证的法律制裁

对民事证人拒不出庭作证予以法律制裁,是证人出庭作证制度的重要内容之一。由于我国《民事诉讼法》对此没有规定,最新司法解释亦未补充,司法实践中便无法操作,这成为我国证人出庭率偏低的重要原因。文章结合国外立法例,对目前学界提出的几种对拒不出庭证人的制裁措施逐一分析:排除证据使用,符合我国目前审判方式改革潮流及证人证言证据的特点;承担诉讼费用亦符合民事诉讼的本质;罚款是国内外普遍接受的方式;拘传与拘留在我国目前有其存在的必要性;刑罚制裁则不符合我国的实际情况,不宜采用。     

公益诉讼与当事人适格之扩张

在公法私法化和私法公法化不断演进的今天,公共利益的重要性与现实状况的严峻性正被逐步认识,允许公共力量适当介入私法领域已经势在必行,公益诉讼由此应运而生。此时,对作为制度瓶颈的当事人适格予以扩张并赋予其法定效力便显得尤为必要与迫切。将诉的利益作为当事人适格的衡量标准,并以此为基础构建诉讼信托制度,对于完善当事人理论,促进公益诉讼制度的合理化与合法化具有重要作用。

我国检察机关提起公益诉讼的正当性质疑

随着司法改革向纵深发展以及理论界扩张检察权、借鉴国外检察机关提起民事公益诉讼的立法例、加强我国检察机关民事公诉权的大声疾呼,检察机关提起公益诉讼已从司法实践进入了理论设计与制度设计的层面.然而,从理论上进行深层次分析后可以看出,作为法律监督者的我国现有检察机关提起公益诉讼因不符合公益诉讼的本质要求而不具有理论上的正当性.我们应当立足于我国的实际情况建立由代表国家公共利益的机关提起公益诉讼的制度.     

“大数据杀熟”行为政府治理路径探讨

“大数据杀熟”行为严重损害了消费者权益.相对于传统商业“杀熟”行为, “大数据杀熟”行为更隐蔽,消费者维权更艰难.这种利用算法应用技术损害消费者权益的行为严重违背商业伦理,不仅关乎消费者个人权益,更会影响公共利益,仅凭市场调节难以纠正,需要通过法律进行救济.政府应在遵循辅助性原则的前提下,通过算法应用技术备案、建立“政...     

关于构建我国反腐败民事诉讼追赃机制若干问题的思考

《联合国反腐败公约》第五章规定的"资产追回"程序确立了通过刑事诉讼和民事诉讼两种方式追回犯罪所得和犯罪资产。在国际司法实践中,一般而言,运用民事诉讼的手段进行追赃较之于刑事诉讼手段更为便捷和有效,是一种较为理想的方式。因此,我国应在建立追赃领导体制和工作机制、建立境外追赃民事诉讼保险基金制度、建立境外追赃论证审查机制、健全和完善我国涉外民事诉讼程序制度和建立配套的境外追赃合理费用扣除机制等方面努力,构建适合我国国情的民事诉讼追赃机制。     

The political participation of disabled people in Europe: Rights,accessibility and activism

This paper provides the first systematic cross-national assessment of disabled people's electoral and political participation, based on research in the 28 Member States of the European Union and in the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A mixed methods approach included policy analysis, information requests to national experts and secondary analysis of European survey data. The evidence populated indicators which suggest four lines of action: (a) lifting legal and administrative barriers; (b) raising awareness; (c) making political participation more accessible; (c) expanding participation opportunities in public life. Civil society organizations as well as public institutions have an important role to play as change agents in this regard.     

What is your gender? Gender and participation in Attac-Italy

Since gender disparities do not appear to be confined within the political system, I assume a gender perspective within social movements. In order to better understand the relations between the social movements and gender issues, I analysed the case of the Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions and Aid to Citizens (Attac) in Italy. Attac is an international network of sibling organizations. The Italian branch has been described as a political/cultural association which is based on previous cultural/political backgrounds of militants. Accordingly, I supposed that these cultural/political backgrounds have affected the present organization and its forms of participation. Structural information on participation in parties and trade unions proves that Attac has a strong linkage to the Italian left-wing, while the relations between gender, participation and power have been investigated in the fieldwork. Yet, certain dynamics of inequity and the risk of reproducing models learned elsewhere, which also replicate gender exclusion in those associations which lie halfway between civil society and political parties, have been discussed for gender and participation in the contradictory age of globalization.
