《最高人民法院关于审理涉外民事或商事合同纠纷案件法律适用若干问题的规定》之评析

我国立法采用了国际上通行的以意思自治为主、最密切联系为辅的涉外民商事合同法律适用原则,但该原则在我国<民法通则>和<合同法>中的规定过于简单,缺乏可操作性.自2007年8月8日起施行的<最高人民法院关于审理涉外民事或商事合同纠纷案件法律适用若干问题的规定>弥补了现行立法的不足.该司法解释针对涉外民商事合同审判实践中经常遇到、存在异议的问题.提出了明确的处理意见.通过对该司法解释中特征性履行方法和外国法的查明等靓点的分析,认为该规定在支配当事人选择法律的效力、当事人选择法律的方式、当事人选择法律的范围、禁止法律规避之规定、保护弱方当事人利益等方面仍存在不足之处,需要加以完善.

From Form to Function to Sustainable Solutions? Reforming Public Sectors in Low Income Countries: New Approaches and Available Evidence of “What Works”

The article reviews the evidence about success of public sector reforms in low and middle income countries, external support for such reforms, and recent ideas of how such support could be better designed and implemented. Enthusiasm for supporting public sector reforms has decreased over the past decade, and available data suggest that there has been little overall improvement. However, it also indicates that a small number of countries have significantly strengthened their public sectors over the past 10 to 20 years. The article then reviews five new approaches that have been proposed for better supporting public sector reforms. It looks at how they diagnose what has not worked and the implications of what should be carried out differently. Furthermore, it explores to what extent the available evidence of overall stagnation as well as of success cases fits with these proposed alternatives, to gauge to what extent they are likely to make a difference. The final section sets out the implications. Development agencies should seek to deliberately test a combination of the proposed alternative approaches, particularly in more difficult contexts, taking political feasibility as a basis and adding other elements. The urgency to make progress remains high. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
