An inquiry into the causes for the multiple goals of the United States Antitrust Law from a historical perspective

It is not the case as Robert Bork claims that the U. S. antitrust law had only one goal—maximization of consumer welfare of efficiency—at the very beginning and should have been kept that way for its later development. Partly because of the fighting among different interest groups as well as spokesmen of different regions at the 51st Congress, the Sherman Antitrust Act came out as a legislation with multiple goals, which were also taking shape under the influence of the Republican idea of balance of power, the liberal belief in property rights, the freedom of contract of classic economics, and the price theory of neoclassic economics. In more than a hundred years after that, the U.S. antitrust law has shifted the center of its goals as a result of the change of regulatory regimes with different emphases such as market function, economic stabilization, social concern, and economic efficiency during different periods. From a historical perspective, it is beyond dispute that the U.S. antitrust law has had multiple goals instead of only one. __________ Translated from: Shixue Yuekan 史学月刊 (Journal of Historical Science), No.6, 2004

Neoliberalism and the Economic Utility of Immigration: Media Perspectives of Germany's Immigration Law

Abstract: Germany's new immigration law, which took effect in 2005, was hotly debated over a period of four years. This paper follows the debate on the law through the newsprint media, examines the representation of immigration as an economic utility, and investigates the contents of this economic‐utility perspective of immigration in light of neoliberal restructuring in Germany. The analysis focuses on 609 articles sampled from five major German daily newspapers published between July 2001 and August 2005. A discourse analysis suggests that the newsprint media represented immigration on the one hand as an economic necessity to replenish the labor market and ensure the international competitiveness of key industrial sectors. On the other hand, immigration was depicted as an economic liability that raises unemployment rates and burdens the public welfare system. Although the media emphasized the economic necessity of immigration, the final law does not permit any significant immigration of labor. The paper resolves this contradiction by situating media discourse in a wider context of neoliberal reforms and European Union expansion.     

政治与法律的良性互动——英国法治道路成功的根本原因

政治和法律既相辅相成,又相反相克。二者关系结构的不同,直接影响着甚至决定着一个国家的法治文明进程。英国的法治道路是一条较为顺畅的成功之路,其成功的根本原因在于政治与法律之间建立和保持了一种良性互动关系。16世纪以前,适度强大的政治权威促成了英国法治传统的生成以及自治型、制度化普通法体系的建立和衡平法的产生。16～17世纪,借助于普通法制度积极有效的制衡作用,英国有幸绕过了绝对专制统治的历史弯路,先于其他各国跨入了现代法治社会。认真总结英国法治经验,对于当前我国的法治建设事业无疑是大有裨益的。     

公司债权人保护之比较法研究——兼论新《公司法》之立法选择

传统的公司法理论,在债权人利益的保护机制上过分相信并依赖于资本的担保功能,不注重其他法律制度的设计,结果导致债权人利益的保护只停留于形式。笔者通过分析债权人保护模式上的差异,认为新公司法对债权人的保护,不仅要有事前的预防措施,也应有事后的救济途径。     

我国教师资格制度的法制化进程

自 1 986年起 ,我国教师资格制度开始由以行政命令、政策规定的弱强制性程度阶段向法令规定的高强制性程度转向 ,即开始了法制化的进程。先后经历了教师资格制度法制规范初步建立阶段 ( 1 986— 1 993年 ) ,教师资格制度的法制规范完善阶段 ( 1 993— 2 0 0 0年 ) ,2 0 0 0年 9月 2 3日 ,我国颁发了《〈教师资格条例〉实施办法》 ,它的出台标志着我国建立起一整套教师资格制度的法制规范体系 ,标志着较为完备的教师资格制度的确立。通过对这一过程的考察 ,有助于增强对我国教师资格制度法制化进程的特点和精神实质的理解 ,从而增强我们依法治教、依法治师的自觉意识。     

以赛亚·伯林和中国法律正当化问题的一种片面性——以《中国法学向何处去》为例

对照以赛亚.伯林的多元论思想可以发现:我国法理学界对中国法律正当性问题的论证大多局限于必要论证,而不成其为一种充分论证。这种片面性论证只说明了一种主张自身的合理之处或其它理论的不足之处,未能就自身主张相较于其它主张的优越性作出进一步比较分析,因此必定欠缺说服力。《中国法学向何处去》即为此种片面性论证之典型例子。     

New books: Publishers' announcements

This article studies illegitimacy, which was a canonical impediment to ordination, within the English clergy between 1198 and 1348. Scholarship on illegitimacy in the clergy has previously relied on canon law, conciliar decrees, and dispensations preserved in papal registers. Using these sources, historians have concluded that the papacy tightly controlled illegitimate men's access to orders, that the burdens of obtaining dispensations for illegitimacy (the defectus natalium) could pose substantial obstacles to a man's clerical career, and that priests' sons made up a significant percentage of the illegitimate clergy. This article, which draws on the large and previously untapped body of dispensations surviving in English episcopal registers to supplement the papal sources, reaches different conclusions. It argues that the great majority of illegitimate clerics in the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century English clergy were the sons of unmarried lay parents. It further argues that dispensations were more readily accessible than has previously been suggested, and emphasises the importance of local branches of the ecclesiastical hierarchy to an individual's efforts to attain a dispensation to enter holy orders.
