Mediation and Culture: The Example of the ICC International Commercial Mediation Competition

The International Commercial Mediation Competition is organized by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris, which held the event for the eighth time in February 2013. As the competition has grown, participation has become more and more diverse and thus mediation and negotiation have become more and more cross‐cultural. This led the ICC to invite external research on culture at the competition in February 2011. In this article, I discuss this student competition, the external research project question, and the culture of the competition. I also identify some of the further cultural issues raised by referring to relevant research on conflict and mediation across cultures, and conclude with some thoughts on how better to conceptualize the field of cross‐cultural mediation in terms of a systems approach.     

美国三权分立制度与我国议行合一制度之比较

由于历史、文化和社会条件等的差异,不同的国家所实施的国家管理形式会不相同。美国实行三权分立政治制度,中国实行的是议行合一政治体制。抑恶功能是前者的价值理念,扬善功能是后者的价值理念。它们在实践中都有所长,有所短,需要相互借鉴,取长补短。     

略论反恐多边条约的国内实施

国际恐怖(主义)犯罪是目前日炽的一种国际犯罪,国际社会非常重视对恐怖(主义)犯罪的惩治、预防和打击,缔结了一系列反恐多边条约。反恐多边条约的实施主要是缔约国的实施(即国内层面上的实施),可以分为直接实施和间接实施两种模式。反恐多边条约的国内实施于惩治和预防国际恐怖主义犯罪发挥了重要作用。反恐多边条约在我国得到了很好的实施,但在实施过程中仍存在某些弊端或不足,亟须完善,关键是要尽快制定一部专门的反恐特别法。     

Disputes in Japan: A cross-cultural test of the procedural justice model

Research on procedural justice has provided ample evidence that people are concerned not only with the outcome of disputes but also with the fairness of the procedures used to resolve disputes. The majority of the studies examining the importance of procedural justice have been conducted in the United States and Western European countries. This study tests the generality of the procedural justice model by examining the importance of fair procedures to people in a non-Western country, Japan. This study also examines the meaning of a fair procedure from a legal perspective. Past studies have drawn the procedural justice criteria considered from social psychology. We examine several additional criteria derived from the legal concept of due process of law. Results indicate that fair procedures are more important to subjects than fair outcomes in both a traffic accident dispute and a breach of contract case. Furthermore, across both types of disputes, fairness concerns are more important than nonfairness concerns. These results are consistent with findings from studies conducted in Western countries. A new finding that emerges from the study is that the clarity with which a procedure is formulated and presented is a strong determinant of procedural justice judgments.

浅谈在公安院校开展PPC射击教学的构想

公安院校作为培养预备警官的摇篮 ,准确、熟练的使用枪支是对学生最起码的要求。目前 ,在公安院校多采用静止状态下的 2 5米、 5 0米精度射击 ,这种教学模式作为基础射击是可行的。但是由于人民警察使用枪支的突发性、被动性等特点 ,它又暴露出在实战中的不适用性。在公安院校开展PPC教学 ,不仅是公安院校射击课改革的方向 ,而且对于学生毕业后能胜任公安工作、依法履行职责、与国际接轨 ,也都具有现实和深远的意义。

法规竞合论争分析与概念重构

法规竞合的本质是刑事法律规范的竞合 ,不是法律条文的竞合。法规竞合是一种立法现象 ,不是犯罪形态。法规竞合是犯罪构成的竞合 ,不包括法定刑的竞合。法规竞合可以发生在基本犯罪构成之间 ,也可以发生在基本犯罪构成与修正犯罪构成之间。法规竞合包括外延包容、外延交叉、内涵从属三种逻辑模式。     

“公司多边治理“质疑——兼论“公司利益相关者论“之法理缺陷

"公司利益相关者论"自传入我国后,对我国公司治理理论产生了较大影响,有学者在其基础上提出了"公司多边治理"的概念,用以重塑我国公司治理结构.然而,因缺乏相应的法理学基础以及在市场经济中的不可行性,目前把"多边治理"引入我国公司治理领域非但不能促进公司长远发展和保护社会利益,结果只能是适得其反.
