摘要:

This paper sets out the factors underlying the policy of no‐fault divorce, and questions the attainability of its aims. From the writer's empirical research into the operation of English divorce law, it is argued that legal reforms are not of themselves enough to change the attitudes of divorcing parties to the breakdown of their marriage. Reform should take into account the dynamics of the process of breakdown, in particular, the likelihood that the parties will have different attitudes to the breakdown of the relationshi

摘要:

This paper argues that the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 is a composite of contradictory measures. On one hand, employer sanctions are meant to curtail the employment of undocumented workers and preserve the U.S. labor market for legal residents and citizens; on the other hand, special foreign worker programs are designed to enhance the supply of immigrant workers. In an effort to make sense of these contradictions, the author places the legislation in historical context and proposes a dialectical model of immigration policymaking.

摘要:

Some evidence suggests that certain taxpayers might increase their “voluntary” compliance with the tax laws if presented with the right “moral appeals.” If such appeals were relatively inexpensive, compared to hiring more auditors, say, even small improvements in compliance would justify such efforts. However, would such appeals be “justified” in some philosophical, as opposed to economic or psychological, sense? The moral grounds for voluntary cooperation with the tax collection agency turn out, on close scrutiny, to be surprisingly narrow. Though firm, these moral grounds also contain– arguably, at least–one impo

摘要:

Much academic analysis of regulation presents it in the terms used by the practitioners–as an intentional, two‐player game. But an action‐based analysis would show it as a social process involving a range of participants and frameworks of meaning, with the term “Government regulation” being applied retrospectively. This approach yields better analysis of the action, and also a better guide
