论私权之本质——兼论我国私法的建构基础

鉴于传统的权利本质学说均无法全面的指出权利的所有特征 ,对于权利本质之研究采要素解释学的方法较为合理 ,研究权利之本质实际上就是确定何种要素为最核心、最基础之要素 ,就是确定权利概念的中心词。私权之最核心和最基础的要素应为自由 ,这是由私权的产生、发展的历史所决定的 ,私法建构之权利本位要求私法建构应以自由为本位

论义务及其与权利的本质关系

界定法律义务不能孤立地就义务谈义务,而要从权利与义务的整个关系链条、从法的整体上去把握。法律义务是一种法定约束;权利一经法定,就是对权利的范围与自由度做出规限,即隐含着不得超越界限的义务。权利与义务是构成法的统一体,这同说“权利义务是统一的”的命题有所区别。后者只是说明二者自身相互依存,对立统一;前一命题则突出权利与义务是法和法律的整体构成上的两个必具元素,舍一不可。就法的本体而言,不能单纯以权利或义务为本位,权利义务都属于法的本质范畴,它们之间是本质内容与本质形式的关系。

Supporting Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Glasgow: The Role of Multi-agency Networks

The implementation of a dispersal policy in Britain has broughtasylum seekers to regions of the country which previously hadlittle experience of providing services for this group. Around10,000 asylum seekers have been resettled in the city of Glasgowsince 2000 as a result of the policy. Multi-agency networkshave been established in Glasgow as a medium for facilitatingco-operation across the voluntary and statutory sectors forthe provision of locally-based support services, while alsofacilitating community development. This paper explores theexperiences of these networks since their inception. While highlightingthe continuing importance of the voluntary sector in supportingasylum seekers and refugees, it raises concerns over the reactiveway in which services have been provided, where responsibilityhas fallen on voluntary and community organizations to fillgaps in statutory service provision. It further examines theimplications for social cohesion of housing-led resettlement,which has largely been in areas suffering from social deprivation.The findings highlight the frustrations of service providersworking within a disjointed policy framework, characterizedby contradictions between Scottish and UK policy goals.
