解析卢武铉主义

卢武铉主义是卢武铉就任总统后,对韩国外交安保政策进行的大胆革新,它包括自主国防、自主外交、反对驻韩美军"战略灵活性"调整和"东北亚均衡者论"等政策理念。卢武铉主义是在个人与民族、历史与现实、国内与国际等因素综合作用下产生的,它一出台就引起了国内外的争议。面对质疑和批评,卢武铉不得不对其新外交安保政策做出调整,以致卢武铉主义的原则理念大打折扣,而其后续影响还有待观察。     

Noción,justificación y críticas al principio de proporcionalidad*

The principle of balancing is an argumentative structure that provides juridical solutions when fundamental rights have problems coexisting with one another. It allows to maximize fundamental principles within their own factual and juridical boundaries and consists of three sub-principles: suitability, necessity and weighting. The sub-principle of suitability serves to determine if state intervention in matters of fundamental rights has a constitutional basis. The sub-principle of necessity has the purpose of determining if the state intervention in fundamental rights is the least onerous alternative. The weighting sub-principle allows us to choose the constitutional principle that should prevail. The principle of balancing is a tool to bring harmony between fundamental rights in specific situations and it is superior to other methods of constitutional interpretation because it does not state a hierarchy a priori in constitutional principles but promotes the maximization of fundamental rights if possible.     

体制创新是科技创新的重要保障--也谈"汤浅现象"与"李约瑟难题"

根据“汤浅现象,”中国在15世纪前曾是世界科技中心,而“李约瑟难题“则告诉我们,中国尔后在很长时期却没有保持住科技的优势并发育出近代科学。究其原因,体制的制约是关键。改革开放以来,随着对科学技术是第一生产力的倡导,随着科教兴国战略的实施,中国的科技发展势头迅猛,但各种体制问题仍然是影响科技创新能力提高的瓶颈。可以说,创新推动科研发展的经济体制,创新科技行政管理体制,创新教育体制,建立现代科研制度,是目前我国科技发展的当务之急。     

韩国的外交困境:一个概括性框架的解读

近年来,韩国外交面临着一种两难选择的困境。通过对60余年来韩国外交历程的梳理,我们可以发现以政权存续为主要目标的安保外交时期,这种困境是不存在的;而进入冷战后的统一外交时期之后,韩国在包括对美外交与对朝外交、和平外交与统一外交、同盟外交与均衡外交等一系列问题的处理原则上在全社会(包括政治精英和社会大众)还没有形成广泛而稳定的共识,从而使韩国的对外政策在近年来表现出随着政府的换届而不断摇摆、缺乏稳定性的特征,整体反映出韩国在处理朝韩关系及统一问题上的不自信。韩国只有在这些重大的外交原则问题上形成广泛而稳定的共识才有可能摆脱目前的困境,进一步推进统一外交的进程。     

英美证据法的程序性解构——以陪审团和对抗制为主线

证据法之谜是英美证据法学界理论发展的重要源动力,也是理解英美证据法制度演进的一条重要线索。对证据法之谜的解释在程序性层面主要有陪审团控制模式和对抗制控制模式两种命题。通过对两个解释性命题的梳理与解析,可以展现出英美证据法的多元程序性要素及其内在运作的机理,从而为我国的证据立法与证据法学研究提供重要的启示。     

城乡规划中“公共福祉”的判定研究——一则著名美国案例的分析及其对中国的启示

对于美国城市规划判例中的著名案件"劳雷尔山Ⅰ案"判决的解读,可以分析得出:城市规划中"公共福祉"的判断不应仅限于规划所辖地域范围内的利益考虑,还应考虑受规划影响的地域和人群;人的基本住房需求是"公共福祉"的绝对要素,当公共福祉的各要素间冲突时,要素的重要性以及手段和目标之间的不可替代性成为在具体情况下公共福祉判断的关键;"公共福祉"实现需要私人和公共行为共同作用。以上结论对于我国城乡规划制定中应考虑的利益范围的确定及其考量因素冲突的选择,提供了启示。     

Small state diplomacy: Cambodia's foreign policy towards Vietnam

Cambodia's foreign policy behavior towards Vietnam can be characterized as using a strategy of ‘hedging’, whose nature is different from the one suggested in the existing literature. Such a strategy can be discerned from Cambodia's omni-directional policy responses, ranging from economic pragmatism, limited bandwagoning, binding engagement and soft-balancing. Furthermore, the case of Cambodia's foreign policy towards Vietnam suggests that non-state actors, such as the opposition party and the population (voters) play a significant role in shaping the state's foreign policy, even though it is formed under the authoritarian ruling party. This study also suggests that the foreign policy decisions of an authoritarian state are not solely shaped by the personal attributes of their leader.     

当前少数民族地区依法治村面临的法律困惑及其对策——对一个少数民族村寨的考察

我国农村的依法治理不同程度影响到依法治国的进程。当前农村依法治理的核心和重点则是如何实现村民自治 ,把村民自治引入合法、有序的轨道 ,更需要从法律的层面考虑如何将农村地区特有的习惯法和村民委员会组织法加以调适 ,尤其在经济欠发达的少数民族聚居的农村更要加强对少数民族传统习惯法中合理、有利的部份加以吸收和保护。在村委会组织法中规定在少数民族地区可以变通适用村民自治方式既可以从立法上消除习惯法与村委会组织法互相冲突的矛盾 ,又可以对少数民族传统文化中的合理因素加以利用和保护 ,最终就可以从根本上维护国家法制的统一。     

Polygraphs: Erosion of the privacy right

The polygraph is a machine which invades previously private regions in the human being. Its operation is often viewed simplistically and lacking in danger. Such naivete is the subject of this comment. The paper considers the mechanics of polygraph operation, and its theoretical basis; the legal admissibility of the polygraph in a variety of settings, and lastly the impact the polygraph has upon our private lives.Clearly, the polygraph intrudes on the private regions of each individual, and this frightening fact is cause enough to consider the human, social and constitutional implications of its use. The project considers the reliability factor of the polygraph and its questionable use in personnel and business settings; its use in disciplinary procedures and labor arbitration, as well as reviews its place in judicial process and criminal review.Most critically the paper attempts to arrive at a constitutional basis for restrictions on its use in the private sector. Ingenious arguments have been made by opponents of the polygraph, and this paper reviews the substance and content of these constitutional arguments.
