藏族《诺桑王子》故事的印度渊源考

汉译佛典《根本说一切有部毗奈耶药事》卷十三、卷十四所载的《善财与悦意》故事与藏族《诺桑王子》故事非常相似,但它们之间却无影响关系。正是因为印度根本说一切有部在西藏佛教史上占有重要地位,使梵文本《根本说一切有部毗奈耶药事》中《善财与悦意》故事成为藏族《诺桑王子》故事的最初佛经故事之源。     

Constitutional Conventions and the Prince of Wales

The Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber) held in Evans v Information Commissioner that certain correspondence between Prince Charles and government officials must be disclosed under freedom of information legislation. Much of the judgment was devoted to a discussion of the constitutional conventions applicable to Prince Charles, and the case provides a useful example of how conventions and laws can interact. In this note, I argue that the Upper Tribunal misunderstood how conventions are distinguished from one another, and misapplied the test for the identification of conventions.     

CHOGM 2018: A Right Royal Affair

The 2018 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) was eventful and significant for the Commonwealth and for the host country, the UK. It witnessed an unprecedented rolling out of royalty and royal residences and secured the succession of Prince Charles as the next head of the Commonwealth. It provided the UK with an opportunity to consolidate a traditional old constituency at a time when Brexit is looming large and creating serious uncertainty. A number of significant decisions were taken across the policy agenda and a High Level Review Group on the governance of the Commonwealth Secretariat, set up at the previous CHOGM but unable to complete its work in time, was re-energised and given an expanded mandate. This article notes that the reforms will be important, but questions whether they will be enough to keep the Commonwealth relevant and effective in the face of new global challenges.
