Challenges of social workers' involvement in the recovery of the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake in China

This article explores the challenges of social workers' involvement in recovery work of the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake (12 May 2008). Six social workers working in three social work stations in Sichuan, China, were asked to report the challenges they faced in working with disaster survivors. Findings reveal that the social workers faced many challenges. These include lack of government support, low professional status of social work, rapid changes in the social environment in disaster‐affected areas, lack of supervision, lack of cooperation and coordination among social service agencies, and lack of experience and knowledge in working with disaster survivors. The practical, educational and policy implications of the findings are addressed.     

A Legal Structure for Limiting the Agency Cost of Stock Rights Transfer

The unilateral disposition of stock rights’ voting rights detracts from the welfare of the other shareholders. Contractual arrangements restricting or prohibiting the transfer of stock rights under the capital majority rule may infringe upon shareholders’ right of withdrawal, further weakening stock market constraints on senior management and indirectly raising the agency cost of management abuse of power for private ends. In creating a legal structure for stock rights transfer, we need to find an appropriate balance between freedom of contract, capital majority rule and reduction of agency costs. Judges should determine that the transfer of voting rights is invalid in order to ensure that voting rights match residual claim rights and maintain the constraints on senior management represented by shareholder voting rights. The general prohibition of stock rights transfer in the articles of association blocks shareholders’ right of withdrawal; this is not conducive to restraining potential abuses of power on the part of senior management and should be made invalid. Judges must differentiate between long- and short-term contracts and the initial and revised clauses of the articles of association in order to distinguish between the efficacy of different arrangements limiting transfer of stock rights as laid down in the articles of association.

家族治理合理性的制度分析

家族企业治理模式最突出的特点是:企业的所有权与经营权统一于家族内部,家长式的管理风格和企业内部的高度信赖与忠诚。这些特征使得家族企业产生出一套与非家族企业不同的运作规范与原则。从制度经济学角度来看家族治理的合理性就在于:降低了委托代理成本,减少了企业创立和经营中的事前和事后交易成本,优化了企业内部的契约关系。     

先锋诗的"多事之秋":世纪末的论争和分化

1999年盘峰诗会引发的“知识分子写作”和“民间写作”论争,将诗界拉入了旷日连绵的纠纷之中。论争是诗坛“痼疾”在新形势下的总爆发,也和话语权利争夺等非学术因素密不可分;论争没提供出有价值的思想或美学向度,许多结论不够公正,但论争为诗歌发展提供了契机,增添了诗坛的生机和“人气”。     

二十世纪中国文学的几个悖论

近代行业纠纷解决机制理论探微——以自贡盐业纠纷解决机制为例

在中国近代的行业纠纷解决机制中,纠纷的当事人依据国家法和行业习惯法的契合,明确了行业纠纷解决中所存在的权利义务关系,并从中找出纠纷解决的合意。行业组织在一定范围之内充当了仲裁者的角色,是行业纠纷解决的主体。在这样的一个过程当中,通过国家的立法,保障了行业纠纷解决机制程序的问题,在一定程度上使行业纠纷解决由原来的注重实质正义向注重程序正义转变,提高了纠纷解决的公信力和权威性。这对当代的行业纠纷解决提供了一个可供参考的借鉴。主要实例来自于四川自贡盐业的档案、文献,盐业纠纷的解决机制实际上在近代的中国呈现出一种解决方式多元化、行业组织与地方法院互相协作、配合和注重习惯法、解纷程序的特点,不失为近代行业纠纷解决机制较为合理的一个蓝本。

日本中介组织对中小企业的指导作用及其启示

日本中小企业的健康发展同中介组织的有效指导密切相关,建立在立法和政府上下一条线的管理基础上,中介组织对中小企业发挥了积极的指导作用。这些经验对发展中国的中小企业很有借鉴意义。中国应加强立法、行政管理和中介组织建设以促进中小企业的健康发展。
