The “Free Press” of Unionized Journalists and Students

This paper outlines a history of the union organizing of the American Newspaper Guild at Thomson Newspapers’ Peterborough Examiner in Canada from 1968 to 1969. It examines the communication tools that union members used to facilitate this labor organizing and “bite back” at the profitable Thomson chain. Peterborough newsworkers went on strike from November 1968 to April 1969 over union recognition. During the strike, the union members built an unprecedented alliance with Ontario university students, collaboratively launching a strike newspaper called the Peterborough Free Press. Expanding on the concept of temporary labor convergence, this paper considers how strike newspapers can be seen as a form of alternative journalism that newsworkers use as a campaigning tool to communicate their struggles to the public and put pressure on news corporations to bargain with them. This case study is situated in the local institutional contexts of labor relations at the Peterborough Examiner and the news industry in Peterborough, where Thomson Newspapers had a media monopoly. It is based on labor standpoint and signal juncture analyses of union archival documents and newspaper content. The research ultimately suggests that newsworkers should not only focus on communication tools but also build bridges with community members.

农地使用制度的完善与农民农耕权的确立

我国农村改革开放之初确立了以家庭联产承包经营为特色的农地使用制度。目前农地使用制度面临若干问题需要解决。完善农地使用制度的当务之急是在民法物权法中确立物权化的土地承包经营权，在此基础上确立与土地流转相适应的农耕权制度。     

关于准物权母权的反思

一般认为，他物权必定由所有权派生而出，故他物权客体上的所有权即为该他物权的母权。准物权是他物权的一种，当然也应该有自己的母权。但实际中，某些准物权不能找到自己合适的母权，对此应当实事求是地加以认识。找不到母权并不能说明准物权不是民法上的物权，切不可削足适履，为了证明准物权的物权属性而穿凿附会地给准物权找一个所谓的母权。     

论知识产权保护与发展权

由于在知识产权保护的适用过程中过分地保护权利人的利益以及发达国家以高标准的知识产权保护要求发展中国家,由此引起了学术界的讨论,主要有两种思潮:知识产权怀疑论和反知识产权论。从知识产权保护对发展权的天然支持,知识产权保护作为手段对发展权的激励及知识产权保护的终极目标可知知识产权保护促进了人的发展权。     

中国农村土地权利冲突及制度生成

中国农村土地权利冲突问题实质上是中国政治、经济、法律、社会、道德、习惯等各种力量的冲突,冲突的复杂性造成了中国农村土地使用规则的不确定性。只有建立起农村土地“制度生成”的“公共议论场所”,让各种对立的权利和主张权利的力量和利益充分地博奕,才能从根本上化解权利冲突,生成制度,从而促进制度文明的进步。     

走出民主观念的五大误区

对民主观念的理解我们要走出以下五大误区:民主不是“为民求主”、“为民作主”,而是人民作主;民主不是多数压制少数,而是多数尊重和保护少数;民主不是否定个人,而是弘扬个人;民主不是只讲权利,而是也讲义务;民主不是追求最优的求全机制,而是保证满意的纠错机制。

占有的本质再探讨--兼评《中国物权法草案建议稿》第417条

占有概念与物权制度密不可分。占有制度的发展，反映了占有与所有权分离的历史过程，占有具有三大功能：权利推定功能、权利取得功能、权利保护功能。中国应该构建所有权、占有与占有权、他物权三权鼎立的物权法格局。
