Tactics,traditions and opportunities: British and French crop‐trashing actions in comparative perspective

This article compares the tactic of trashing genetically modified crops in activist campaigns in Britain and France. In Britain, most crop trashing was carried out covertly, while in France most activists undertook open, public actions. In seeking an explanation for this, the article shows that the analysis of political opportunities, dominant in comparative studies of social movements, can only take us so far. While it helps explain the occurrence of direct action, it is much less useful in explaining the tactical differences between each country. It is argued that a fuller explanation requires an understanding of how action was shaped by different activist traditions. In France, action was staged as a demonstration of serious, responsible, collective Republican citizenship; in the United Kingdom, activists combined a sceptical view of legality developing from anarchist individualism with an explicitly non‐threatening, playful, ethos. The article concludes that a focus on activist traditions can provide an effective bridge between structural and cultural approaches to understanding the determinants of social movement action.     

陷害教唆与警察圈套的刑法学思考

陷害教唆和警察圈套不仅是理论中的一个难题,实践中更是存在较多争议。陷害教唆的含义必须从“教唆”和“陷害”两方面来重新界定其内涵和基本要件,并以此为出发点来对陷害教唆犯的可罚性问题进行考察。同时,由于警察圈套行为和教唆行为的紧密联系,在具体适用时,为达到防卫社会和保障人权功能的和谐统一,要对警察圈套在司法实践中的运用标准和具体条件进行严格的限定。
