论宪法权利的本质

宪法权利是一种反向权利,原则上不能被当正向权利加以定位,但是,应正视反向权利的宪法定位有可能引发的宪法权利虚置问题;宪法权利是一种公权利,原则上不能被用来调整私人之间的关系,但是应创设相应的制度机制来应对社会的变迁所带来的对宪法权利私法适用的内在要求;宪法权利是一种底线性权利,而不是一种穷尽性权利,但是在对其底线性定位的同时,应注意防止宪法权利的泛化现象。

环境权问题:一种新的探讨路径

各国宪法和环境基本法律中规定的公民享有良好环境的权利不应被视为实体性基本人权 ,而应当看作是揭示环境保护的政策、理念的宣示性条款。该条款的现实意义在于确立国家的环境管理权和公众的环境保护权 ,从而保护公众的生命、健康、财产等基本权利不因环境污染和生态破坏而遭受侵害。在民法物权法中应当确立环境物权制度 ,将公众的环境使用权纳入其中 ;同时 ,在利益衡量的基础上 ,通过环境法对环境物权的行使进行必要的限制

Parliamentary Bills of Rights: An Alternative Model?

This paper examines the emergence of a new model for protecting rights (referred to as the 'parliamentary rights' model) in Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the Australian Capital Territory. This parliamentary model is distinguished from the more traditional, judicial-centric, approach to rights protection in at least two ways. The first is that this parliamentary rights model incorporates the notion of legitimate political dissent from judicial interpretations of rights. The second way it challenges the court-centred model is by incorporating the systematic evaluation of proposed legislation from a rights perspective. Both of these features allow for the possibility of a broader range of perspectives on the appropriate interpretation of rights or the resolution of disagreements involving claims of rights than those arising from more judicial-centric bills of rights. The paper assesses whether this alternative approach to rights protection satisfies those sceptics who doubt the virtue or prudence of conceiving of political disputes as legal rights claims for which the judiciary has the dominant role in their interpretation and resolution.     

Paradise Lost...: The Meaning of Modernity and the Antinomy of the Law

This essay argues for the centrality of the study of paradoxes of particularity and universality in the interface between law and politics in modernity. Particularly, in order to understand the process of constitution of a political collective and the role of supernumerary elements that re-enter a constituted legal-political system. After introducing the question of paradoxes or antinomies in the relation between law and politics in modernity, the essay engages with current understandings of exceptionalism and the possibility of a leftist or ‘real’ suspension of the law. In order to do so, this essay makes full use of certain theoretical tools developed in anthropological accounts of political and legal processes, and current French-oriented and Latin American political philosophy.     

职工眼中的企业工会--企业工会现状调查

维护职工权益是企业工会的基本职责。对沿海某省七家不同类型的企业工会的调查显示,职工在企业内部的基本权益,尤其是在非公企业内部的基本权益得不到保障,而企业工会作为劳动者的代言人履行维权职责严重缺失,其根本原因在于企业工会对企业资产所有者和管理者的依附性。     

论我国刑事辩护律师权利保障之出路

长期以来,在我国的司法实践中,刑事辩护律师的权利保障一直处于令人担忧的境地。国家虽然在各个方面对此问题均作了不少的努力,但效果并不明显。究其原因,笔者认为其根本的原因还在于我国目前的刑事诉讼结构中控辩双方力量的失衡。因此,我国刑事辩护律师权利保障的出路在于改革与完善我国的刑事诉讼结构,实现控辩双方力量的相对平衡。     

我国他物权制度理论构建之研究

他物权是权利人依法对他人所有之物享有的限制性物权,它与自物权相对应,二者共同构成了民法中完整的物权关系。目前,借鉴古今中外的立法和司法实践经验,构造中国式的他物权体系是社会主义市场经济发展的必然要求。
