论我国民事被告答辩制度的缺陷与改进

我国现有的民事被告答辩制度存在一些缺陷。在修改民事诉讼法、实现民事诉讼现代化的现实语境中,应在尊重历史和国情的基础上,借鉴国外的做法,在期限、形式、内容和法律后果四个方面对其进行改进。     

法律职业研究的理论背景

法律职业的兴起是法治深化的一个重要征象。对法律职业的研究必须置于法治研究的大背景下,否则很难认清法律职业的正确地位。法治的发展路径必然是精英治理与大众治理的结合。这是对法治中终极因素——人的因素的正确把握。法律职业、法治政府和公民参与之间的制约与互动是法治建成和稳固所要求的权力格局。法治的历史已经昭示了这样一个现实和图景:英国和美国代表着先发展国家的法治理路,而日本则是后起国家的法治典型。这些国家的法治历史和现状展示了整个人类历史作为改造人在社会治理中的角色和作用方式的历史和竭力维持人类理想的历史。     

Meseret’s story: women,work, and betterment in an Ethiopia–Saudi Arabia return labor migration

ABSTRACT

This life-history examines the return migration of Meseret, an Ethiopian woman in her twenties, from Ethiopia to Saudi Arabia as a domestic worker. Meseret's successful labor migration is contextualized in hierarchical local and global economic and political structures as well as her personal goals and familial strategies for betterment or socio-economic improvement. An initial comparison will be made between Meseret's natal family and her affinal Rastafari family (her husband's family) in the Jamaica Safar or Jamaica neighborhood of Shashemene in Ethiopia in terms of livelihood, gender roles, mobility, and status. Meseret's high status as a returnee in urban Ethiopia will be juxtaposed against the low value still accorded to women's paid and unpaid domestic and care work in destination and origin countries. Recognizing structural factors and migrants' subjectivities enriches both qualitative and quantitative analyses, and has the potential to provide the groundwork for equitable migration and labor policies.
