WTO争端解决机制中的“法庭之友”问题

WTO诸协定,特别是《关于争端解决规则与程序的谅解》（简称DSU）中没有关于法庭之友的规定。但是法庭之友主动向专家组、上诉机构提交意见,介入争端解决机制已经是不争的事实。在没有法律依据的前提下,争端解决机构对法庭之友意见采取一案一议、非连贯性的做法,引发了成员国之间激烈的争论。为了提高争端解决机构的裁定能力,建立一个更加具有预测性和透明度的体制,争端解决机构有必要对此问题予以解释和澄清,允许法庭之友在专家组阶段提交意见。     

试论司法中的专家论证意见

司法审判并不是一个机械地适用法律规范的过程，而是一个包含了众多微妙复杂的判断之过程，这在疑难案件的审判中尤为凸显。法官作为法律帝国中的王公贵族有时候也会遇到措手不及的问题，为了公正有效地审理案件、解决纠纷，法官就不得不求助于其他的一些法律智识力量，而专家的论证意见就是其基本的表现形式之一。     

Role analysis using the ego-ERGM: A look at environmental interest group coalitions

Interest groups coordinate to achieve political goals. However, these groups are heterogeneous, and the division of labor within these coalitions varies. We explore the presence of distinct roles in coalitions of environmental interest groups, and analyse which factors predict if an organization takes on a particular role. To model these latent dynamics, we introduce the ego-ERGM. We find that a group's budget, member size, staff size, and degree centrality are influential in distinguishing between three role assignments. These results provide insight into the roles adopted in carrying out coalition tasks. This approach shows promise for understanding a host of networks.
