发展中心城市是陕西省城市化的最优途径

关于中国城市化发展的道路,学术界有优先发展小城镇和优先发展中心城市两种不同的观点。陕西省应走优先发展中心城市之路。这是因为,陕西省是一个欠发达的省份,中心城市规模太小,中心城市综合实力偏弱。     

英国知识产权审判体系

英国是较早便开始对知识产权案件进行专业化审判的国家,发展至今,历经多次改革,已然是现今世界上知识产权审判体系较成熟的国家。其中,设置在高等法院大法官庭下的专利法庭和知识产权企业法庭是英国极具代表性的两个具有全国管辖权的知识产权法庭,负责审理大部分知识产权民事、行政的初审案件。此外,尚在筹建中的欧洲统一专利法院、"被指定人"、著作权审裁处以及替代解决纠纷机制,也都是英国知识产权审判体系的重要组成部分。2014年,我国在北京、上海、广州设立了知识产权法院,在这样一个改革试点的契机下,分析和借鉴英国知识产权审判体系的发展轨迹和成功经验对我国知识产权法院的建设具有现实意义。     

Consolidating ZIP Codes for Small Area Fair Market Rents: A Method for Implementing the New Rule

Fair Market Rents (FMRs), calculated for an entire metropolitan region, are used to establish payment standards for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. In response to recent criticism that FMRs do not represent rent disparity and restrict households from moving to high-opportunity areas, a new rule introducing Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) has been issued. SAFMRs are based on ZIP codes to reflect local market rents and increase the number of payment standards used to administer the HCV program. The purpose of this research is to determine whether the number of payment standards can be reduced by consolidating ZIP codes, while adhering to the primary objectives of the SAFMR rule. The ZIP code grouping process conducted offers one method for reducing the number of payment standards needed to implement the new rule; however, the rent analysis reveals the over- and underestimation of SAFMRs for some ZIP codes.

Detectives Stories and City Life

Detective stories take place mainly in two settings, constantly changing, many faceted big cities filled with strangers, and stable, fairly homogeneous, innocent small towns whose members know one another. The differences in each clarify the qualities of the other. In solving the mystery of the small town, the detective provides moral instruction and restores the town’s innocence. In solving the mystery in the big city the detective reveals the city as part of the mystery and provides the reader with temporary orientation to the city. Mysteries have grown with the growth of the cities and now appear in every country of the world. Harold J. Bershady is an emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. His most recent book, edited with Renée Fox and Victor Lidz, is After Parson: A Theory of Action for the 21st Century, published by Russell Sage Press, 2005.     

Commonwealth Small States,Education and Environmental Uncertainty: Learning from the Sharp End

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the Commonwealth’s inclusive role in engaging with the distinctive challenges of education provision in small states, an agenda that is often neglected elsewhere. We examine the origins of Commonwealth work on education in small states, the nature of its comparative advantage, its role in facilitating small states’ engagement with international education dialogue and regional co-operation, and the demand and potential for ongoing Commonwealth support for education. Particular attention is given to experience within the Caribbean region and to the potential for the Commonwealth and the wider international community to learn from small states in the light of their distinctive educational challenges, achievements and priorities – and, most notably, their experience at the ‘sharp end’ of environmental uncertainty and climate change.     

论小股东的弱势地位及其法律救济——兼评股份合作企业的制度缺陷

股份合作企业的制度缺陷和无统一立法两个因素使企业的小股东在许多方面呈现出社会弱势群体的鲜明特色: 小股东没有知情权;有利于小股东的一人一票制的投票方式无法得到真正落实;一股一票制彻底剥夺了小股东的表决权: 小股东的权利救济难以保障等。制定《股份合作企业法》是保护小股东应有权利的唯一选择。     

中国法学向何处去(续)——对梁治平“法律文化论”的批判

1978至2004年,中国法学在取得很大成就的同时也暴露出了它的问题,而它的根本问题就是未能为评价、批判和指引中国法制发展提供作为理论判准和方向的“中国法律理想图景”。这是一个没有中国法律理想图景的法学时代。据此,要对“中国为什么会缺失中国自己的法律理想图景”这个理论论题尝试给出回答,并对中国法学这一时代进行“总体性”的反思和批判。较为具体地讲,采用经过界定的“范式”分析概念,对中国法学中四种不同甚或存有冲突的理论模式即“权利本位论”、“法条主义”、“本土资源论”和“法律文化论”进行了深入探究。中国法学之所以无力引领中国法制发展,实是因为它们都受一种“现代化范式”的支配,而这种“范式”不仅间接地为中国法制发展提供了一幅“西方法律理想图景”,而且还使中国法学论者意识不到他们所提供的不是中国自己的“法律理想图景”;同时,这种占支配地位的“现代化范式”因无力解释和解决因其自身的作用而产生的各种问题,最终导致了作者所谓的“范式”危机。正是在批判“现代化范式”的基础上,我们必须结束这个受“西方现代化范式”支配的法学旧时代,开启一个自觉研究“中国法律理想图景”的法学新时代。     

小额贷款公司发展的法律障碍及克服路径

小额贷款公司的设立对改进和完善农村金融服务，提高农村金融市场的竞争性，缓解农户及中小企业融资困难，促进农业和农村经济发展，支持社会主义新农村建设具有积极意义。但当前小额贷款公司发展还面临立法层次低、身份定位脱离现实实践、政策优惠落实难、监管体系不健全等问题，要解决这些问题，应提高立法层级、明确身份定位、落实优惠政策、完善监管体系。
