Rural land ownership reform in China’s property law

With regard to rural land ownership, there exist many problems, such as absence of the subject of right, ambiguity of the definition of right quality, and imperfection of the taking system. To perfect the rural land ownership system in China, we should continuously take villagers’ groups and villages as the subject of collective ownership and affirm the right of the members of collective organizations. In order to promote the development of the rural economy and realize the value of land, the contractual management right should be deemed as a property right and allowed to be transferred. The transferability of collective land ownership should be gradually established and the process of taking should be further normalized. Meanwhile, the farmers must receive sufficient compensation. The house site usage right is a special form of right of usufruct. To follow the principle that property should be made best use of, the house site usage right should also be transferable.     

浅议开发商迟延办理商品房权属证书的法律责任

近年来商品房买卖合同纠纷案件的数量急剧上升，而其中又尤以开发商迟延办理权属证书引发纠纷的比例居多。此类纠纷的爆发具有群体性特征，开发商与购房者间的利益冲突尖锐．审理判决稍有疏失或法律适用未能完全说服当事人便可能引发社会秩序不稳的后果。因此。厘清实践中普遍存在的开发商迟延办理商品房权属证书的违约责任及其诉讼时效的法律依据与法学原理．为审判实践提供统一的适用标准与理论支撑无疑兼具重要的学术价值和现实意义。本文从该类纠纷所涉的基本法律概念与原理入手，通过综合比较学界的不同论点与法律、法规、司法解释的效力层级，力求清晰的体现审判实务中迟延办证违约责任追究及其诉讼时效的法律适用。

Conceptualising a Framework for Effective Performance Measurement in Cultural Precinct Development and Operation

The purpose of this paper is to firstly identify and synthesise critical measurement themes in extant academic literature concerning performance measurement in cultural precincts. Secondly, the paper posits for consideration a holistic and systematic framework (which embraces those themes) for developing appropriate performance measures for cultural precincts. The outcomes in this paper (a) confirm and clarify the complexity of performance measurement needed, (b) furnish a framework for practitioners embarking on the development of such measures, and (c) indicate the conceptual and pragmatic challenges faced in developing and enacting appropriate and meaningful measures for cultural precincts. Consequently, this paper serves as a conceptual positioning paper and a practical embarkation point for practitioners willing to engage with and pursue this phenomenon. Thereby, it endorses more dialogue on and further research and analysis of performance measurement in government operated cultural precincts.     

Fiscal Austerity and Rental Housing Policy in the United States and United Kingdom, 2010–2016

After the 2008 global financial crisis, both the United States and the United Kingdom introduced austerity policies targeted at particular elements of their national budgets. The purpose of this article is to compare the nature of this retrenchment; the similarities and differences in how it was implemented; and its initial impacts on one of the expenditure areas particularly affected: affordable rental housing programs and housing support for low-income households. Using a wide range of data sources, we find evidence of political and fiscal policy analogies in the timing and forms of the initial policy choices and how these were modified in the face of economic and political pressures. There are considerable similarities both in the instruments used to reduce housing expenditures and in the early impacts on support mechanisms and recipients. However, we find different histories and trajectories of support between the two countries that suggest that the longer term differences in outcomes may be more important.     

中国古代先问亲邻制度考析

田宅交易先问亲邻的制度在法律中出现始于后周时期,在宋元时期达到极盛。明清时期,国家律典对此不再作强制性规定,但在民间习惯中,先问亲邻的做法仍广泛存在。这一制度能最大限度地将土地保留在本宗族的内部,减小交易风险,并协调家族成员关系。它与现代民法中的优先购买权和相邻权等制度有密切的关系。     

我国公共租赁住房制度的政策法律分析——基于公共租赁住房市场化的研究视角

大力发展公共租赁住房是我国解决住房保障问题的一项重要政策选择,但政府主导的公共租赁住房制度在实施过程中面临着资金来源、土地供应、建设运营、租金标准和执行监督等诸多困难。借鉴有关国家成功经验,从我国实际情况出发,稳步推进公共租赁住房的市场化改革理应成为完善我国公共租赁住房制度的新趋向,而完备的住房租赁补贴制度则是这一制度体系健康运行的关键与核心。为此,我们还需专业化公司、新型土地供应、政策支持等相关配套制度的及时跟进,以形成政府与社会良性互动的住房保障格局。
