论共同犯罪中的辩诉交易公共利益和被告人公平审判权--从美国诉辛格尔顿一案看辩诉交易理论的新发展

辩诉交易是美国刑事诉讼中一项非常重要的诉讼制度 ,其存在的价值取向在于更好地节约诉讼成本和控制由对抗式的诉讼程序所带来的诉讼风险 ,曾被认为是程序公平的重要体现。在近年来欧洲一些大陆法系国家以及亚洲的日本在进行刑事诉讼体制改革和制度移植过程中 ,都把辩诉交易制度作为其移植的重要内容 ,且这一制度也引起了我国刑事诉讼法学理论界的注目。 1998年美国诉辛格尔顿一案的发生 ,在美国的刑事司法实践和理论研究中引起了巨大的反响 ,对检察官在共同犯罪中与刑事被告人之间的辩诉交易 ,获取刑事被告人的证言(即污点证人 ,taintedwitness)的行为 ,从国家作为一个主权者的权力、政府公共利益、被告人的公平审判权等角度进行了深入的探讨 ,辩诉交易理论在新的视角下获得了新的发展。

论军事斗争准备中军人的法律期待与战斗力

军事斗争准备中军人的法律期待是一种特殊的法律意识,具有主体特定性、利益追求性、军事关联性、内容预期性等特点,产生于个人利益及其与军事行动间冲突的存在和良好的法治环境之中,包括对立法、执法和战争法规的期待.它直接而且根本地影响和制约战时部队的战斗力.目前部队官兵法律期待的状况,还不能完全适应军事斗争准备任务的现实需要,应当予以培养和引导.     

伦理实体:道德教化的社会环境支持

人们在讨论道德教化问题时,一般都认为只要制定一套合理的道德原则和道德规范,教育人们遵守执行,就能提高人们的道德水平。而实际上,道德教化是人的内在心灵的整体生长,所以需要社会的伦理环境的支持、营养。因此使人们的生活共同体成为伦理实体,对道德教化来说是绝对必需的。     

I'm Not That Liberal: Explaining Conservative Democratic Identification

The persistence of self-identified conservative Democrats in the electorate is puzzling. Both the ongoing Southern realignment and the recent ideological polarization should have resulted in conservative Democrats changing their party identification to accord with their discrepant ideology. Instead, the number of conservative Democrats, as a percentage of the total electorate, has held steady over the last 20 years. I propose an explanation for this phenomenon that draws upon theories of mass belief systems, as well as an element of recent political reality: the popular stigmatization of the word liberal. I argue that Democrats who are susceptible to elite cues garner positive affect toward the conservative label and negative affect toward the liberal label. They then identify themselves accordingly, regardless of their issue positions.

Russia’s civil service: professional or patrimonial? Executive-level officials in five federal ministries

ABSTRACT

The issue of poor performance of the Russian federal bureaucracy is addressed by linking performance to type of official, through analysis of biographical data on deputy ministers and division (departament) heads in five federal ministries since 2012, supplemented by internet searches on behavior, particularly of a corrupt nature. Education, previous career experience, and recruitment, including its timing relative to superiors and subordinates, are analyzed, in order to determine whether officials behave primarily as members of patrimonial teams, as members of problem-solving organizations, as self-serving individuals, as the instruments of capture by commercial organizations, or as servants of bureaucratic agency interests. The data do not strongly support any one conclusion, but problem-solving officials have the strongest presence.     

Between Domestic Learning and External Coercion: Budgeting and Fiscal Management Reform in Greece

ABSTRACT

The article examines the interplay between external pressure and domestic learning through a case-study of Greek budgetary and fiscal management reform. Pre-crisis, budgetary management inadequacies were not efficiently addressed, mainly due to lack of awareness of problems, a low uncertainty environment and a strong political propensity to maintain discretionary use of financial resources. In contrast, crisis-era bailout conditionality represented a drastic change in the environment, increasing uncertainty and encouraging domestic openness to reform. The fiscal governance framework was significantly transformed, to a point of paradigm change. While there is no doubt regarding the impact of external pressure, the analysis highlights certain aspects that point to a domestic learning process, though variable in different parts of the political-administrative system.
