A new approach to statelessness has emerged in the literature on the topic. Taking citizenism as a starting point and pioneered by Swider and Bloom, this approach offers a completely fresh paradigm for studying and understanding the statelesseness phenomenon. In the contemporary global context where citizenships are deeply unequal and racialized, the focus on rights invites us to dismiss the baseless presumption that fighting statelessness is always in the interests of the populations concerned, let alone that it is directly connected to the protection of human and citizenship rights. It is the world's inequitable neo-feudal citizenism arrangement that is a problem, not the fact that some people do not fit neatly into the citizenism hierarchy and find themselves in a position of statelessness. Shedding light on the role of citizenship and statelessness in the world today as tools of preservation of racialized hierarchies and inequitable exclusion of most of the world's population from rights at home and abroad, the new scholarship questions the UN High Commissioner for Refugees's mission and actions in this domain and takes issue with the self-serving parochialism of dominant Western citizenship and statelessness literatures.
关于无国籍问题的文献中出现了一种新的方法。这种方法以公民权为出发点,由斯韦德和布鲁姆首创,为研究和理解无国籍现象提供了一种全新的范式。在公民权极度不平等和种族化的当代全球背景下,对权利的关注促使我们摒弃那种毫无根据的假定,即与无国籍状态作斗争总是符合相关人群的利益,更不用说它与保护人权和公民权利直接相关了。问题在于世界上不公平的新封建主义公民制度安排,而不是有些人不符合公民制度的等级制度,发现自己处于无国籍状态。新的学术研究揭示了公民身份和无国籍状态在当今世界中的作用,它们是维护种族化等级制度的工具,不公平地将世界上大多数人排除在国内外的权利之外,新的学术研究对联合国难民事务高级专员在这一领域的使命和行动提出了质疑,并对西方主流公民身份和无国籍状态文献中自私自利的狭隘主义提出了异议。

Disability studies is an interdisciplinary field investigating the nature of disability as a social and cultural phenomenon. Since the mid-2000s, legal scholars have been employing a disability studies lens to explore legal doctrine and the treatment of people with disabilities under the law. This article identifies a nascent scholarly movement I call empirical disability legal studies: utilizing both a disability studies lens and empirical methods associated with the social sciences to study disability law. Legal scholars have used empirical methods, involving an analysis of quantitative or qualitative data, to explore three main themes: the experiences of disabled individuals within the formal legal system, the negotiations of disability rights in everyday life outside of formal legal institutions, and the construction of disability in legal texts. This article calls for more scholars to do work in the empirical disability legal studies tradition and puts forward new unexplored paths to expand such inquiry into the legal treatment of disability.
残疾研究是一个跨学科领域,研究残疾作为一种社会和文化现象的本质。自 2000 年代中期以来,法律学者一直在运用残疾研究的视角来探讨法律理论和法律对残疾人的待遇。本文指出了一种新兴的学术运动,我称之为实证残疾法律研究:利用残疾研究视角和与社会科学相关的实证方法来研究残疾法。法律学者们使用实证方法(包括定量或定性数据分析)来探讨三大主题:残疾人在正式法律体系中的经历、正式法律机构之外的日常生活中对残疾人权利的协商,以及法律文本中对残疾的建构。本文呼吁更多学者在实证残疾法律研究传统中开展工作,并提出了一些尚未探索的新路径,以扩展此类对残疾法律待遇的探究。

Revolutions and Law 革命与法律

Two broad thematic perspectives can be distinguished in the literature that broaches the revolutions–law nexus. One considers how actors’ relations to, and usages of, legal statutes and constitutional provisions affect the dynamics of revolutionary conjunctures (law in revolutions). The other examines how the dynamics and modalities of revolutionary processes affect the content of law and the configuration of the legal order (revolutions in law). Subsumed to the law in revolutions perspective are five main topics: the use of constitutional provisions as instruments of revolutionary subversion, legally framed defensive strategies, constitutional devolutions, legitimation problems, and the courts’ stances. The revolutions in law perspective encompasses reflections on the status of law in revolutionary paradigms, the impacts of revolutionary events as acts of foundation, shifting conceptions of constituent power, and the issue of continuities coexisting with ruptures. Cutting across these two perspectives are challenges and pitfalls that studies of revolutions and law can hardly ignore: the reification of analytical and descriptive categories, the confusion of normative and positive standpoints, and the reliance on unconditional claims. Studies overcome these challenges when they document and analyze the processes whereby actors engage law as they make decisions and pursue courses of action.
在探讨革命与法律关系的文献中,可以区分出两大主题视角。一种观点认为,行动者与法律法规和宪法规定的关系以及对它们的使用如何影响革命的动态(革命中的法律)。另一种方法则研究革命进程的动态和方式如何影响法律的内容和法律秩序的构成(法律中的革命)。革命中的法律视角包含五个主要议题:利用宪法条款作为颠覆革命的工具、以法律为框架的防御策略、宪法演变、合法性问题以及法院的立场。法律革命视角包括对革命范式中法律地位的思考、革命事件作为基础行为的影响、制宪权力概念的转变以及连续性与断裂共存的问题。贯穿这两个视角的是革命与法律研究难以忽视的挑战和陷阱:分析和描述性范畴的重新整合、规范和积极立场的混淆以及对无条件主张的依赖。如果研究能够记录和分析行为者在做出决定和采取行动时与法律打交道的过程,就能克服这些挑战。

Since emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s, neo-institutional theory has been a popular framework for understanding law, legal institutions, and policies on the books and in action. Neo-institutional theory has been particularly useful for explaining diverse criminal justice phenomena, from changes in penal law and policy statements to on-the-ground practices across police departments, courts, carceral facilities, and community corrections. This review describes how scholars of the criminal legal system have used neo-institutional theory and where there is room for further utilization. Additionally, it discusses how and why neo-institutional theory is particularly useful for sociolegal scholars, and not only those studying criminal legal organizations and policies.
自 20 世纪 70 年代末和 80 年代初兴起以来,新制度理论一直是理解法律、法律机构和现行政策的流行框架。新制度理论尤其有助于解释各种刑事司法现象,从刑法和政策声明的变化,到警察部门、法院、囚禁设施和社区矫正的实地实践。本综述介绍了研究刑事法律体系的学者如何运用新制度理论,以及在哪些方面还有进一步运用的空间。此外,它还讨论了新制度理论如何以及为何对社会法律学者特别有用,而不仅仅是那些研究刑事法律组织和政策的学者。

Since the 1970s, a liberal politics has dominated comparative abortion law, one almost too ubiquitous to name. This article tracks departures from liberal abortion law in Europe and the Americas that have reshaped the field of comparative abortion law. Section 1 examines the repurposing of liberal abortion law for illiberal ends in a conservative moment of authoritarian governments and their anti-gender campaigns. Drawing on larger ideas of autocratic legalism, the article analyzes how governments and courts have used the features of liberal abortion law to revoke or defeat abortion rights. Section 2 examines the counter-emergence of a feminist protest politics that has abandoned liberal abortion law in a democratic remaking of society and state. Today, in abortion lawmaking through democratized institutions and in the unmaking of abortion law through direct action, feminist movements are reclaiming comparative abortion law and its politics.
自 20 世纪 70 年代以来,自由主义政治一直主导着比较堕胎法,这种政治几乎无处不在,难以名状。本文追踪了欧洲和美洲偏离自由堕胎法的情况,这些情况重塑了比较堕胎法领域。第 1 部分探讨了在专制政府及其反性别运动的保守时代,为非自由目的而重新利用自由堕胎法的情况。文章借鉴专制法律主义的更广泛观点,分析了政府和法院如何利用自由堕胎法的特点来取消或挫败堕胎权。第 2 部分探讨了在民主重塑社会和国家的过程中放弃自由堕胎法的女权主义抗议政治的反向兴起。如今,在通过民主化机构制定堕胎法以及通过直接行动废除堕胎法的过程中,女权运动正在重新夺回比较堕胎法及其政治。

The Life of the Rule of Law 法治的生命

The rule of law has become all things to all people, which is precisely why it has been hard to define. Rather than attempt that feat, this article traces how the rule of law has developed as a set of specific governing practices both in the history of comparative law and in recent policy debates. Whereas national legal traditions blended ideas about the constraining effects of law with normative ideas about the organization of politics, the policy conversation has tended to depoliticize law altogether. As a result, it became possible for aspirational autocrats determined to undermine normative legal constraints to game the system and use law for autocratic ends. The rule of law is now beginning a new life, however, through a movement to deparochialize law and re-embed it in transnational norms. This rule of law writ large has become a new touchstone for holding political power accountable through law.
法治已变得无所不包,这正是它难以定义的原因。本文并不尝试这一壮举,而是追溯法治是如何在比较法历史和近期政策辩论中发展成为一套具体的治理实践的。各国的法律传统将法律的约束作用与政治组织的规范性思想相融合,而政策对话则倾向于将法律完全非政治化。因此,决心破坏规范性法律约束的有抱负的专制者就有可能玩弄法律制度,利用法律达到专制目的。然而,通过一场将法律非政治化并将其重新纳入跨国规范的运动,法治正在开始新的生命。这种广义的法治已成为通过法律追究政治权力责任的新试金石。

Empirical Approaches to the Rule of Law: Contours and Challenges of a Social Science that Does Not Quite Yet Exist 法治的实证方法:尚不完全存在的社会科学的轮廓与挑战

In the past, the rule of law was largely overlooked by sociologists and other social scientists. However, recent years have seen an increasing number of empirical studies of the rule of law. I survey that diverse literature and identify three generations of empirical research, each based on a different approach: (a) the rule of law in action, (b) the rule of law index, and (c) the living rule of law. These studies give us a detailed, but often sobering, view of the rule of law in the real world. I critically review the emerging field and discuss challenges for future research. Developing a more coherent social science of the rule of law is important because it helps us to understand that the rule of law is defined not only by formal institutions and legal documents but also by the place of law in people's everyday lives.
过去,法治在很大程度上被社会学家和其他社会科学家所忽视。然而,近年来对法治的实证研究越来越多。我对这些不同的文献进行了调查,发现了三代实证研究,每一代都基于不同的方法:(a) 行动中的法治,(b) 法治指数,以及 (c) 活生生的法治。这些研究为我们提供了现实世界中法治的详细情况,但往往令人警醒。我将对这一新兴领域进行批判性回顾,并讨论未来研究面临的挑战。发展更加连贯的法治社会科学非常重要,因为这有助于我们理解,法治不仅由正式机构和法律文件来定义,也由法律在人们日常生活中的地位来定义。

Challenges to the Contemporary Death Penalty in the United States 美国当代死刑面临的挑战

This review focuses on empirical research about contemporary challenges to the death penalty in the United States. Challenges are factors that obstruct capital punishment, including legal or political restrictions; elimination at the federal or state level; or the hindrance of the process at its operational stages of charging, adjudicating, appeals, clemency, or executions. By the best-known measures, the death penalty has been in decline in the United States since the turn of the century. Lethal injection errors—“botches”—are arguably the most important current challenge to the institution. Wrongful capital conviction has made capital punishment less tolerable to the general public. Mitigation remains an important challenge to the death penalty. This review emphasizes botches, innocence, and mitigation but also touches on disparate impact, failure-to-deliver a social benefit, and cost. Along the way, this review proposes a framework for considering challenges as they occur on two continua of impact, a micro/meso/macro axis and a narrow/wide axis.
本综述侧重于有关美国死刑面临的当代挑战的实证研究。挑战是指阻碍死刑的因素,包括法律或政治限制;联邦或州一级的取消;或在指控、判决、上诉、宽大处理或执行等运作阶段对死刑程序的阻碍。根据最著名的衡量标准,自本世纪初以来,美国的死刑一直在减少。致命注射错误--"失败"--可以说是当前死刑制度面临的最重要挑战。错误的死刑判决使得普通公众对死刑的容忍度降低。减刑仍然是死刑面临的一个重要挑战。本评论强调误判、无罪和减刑,但也涉及不同影响、未能带来社会效益和成本等问题。同时,本综述提出了一个框架,用于考虑在两个连续影响轴(微观/宏观/宏观轴和狭义/广义轴)上出现的挑战。

Polarization, Populism, and the Crisis of American Democracy 两极分化、民粹主义和美国民主危机

American democracy is in crisis. The emergence of affective polarization and populism has contributed to a divided America in which both sides perceive every election as an existential threat to their ways of life, values, and democracy itself. Central features of liberal democracy, including the right to vote, the system of checks and balances, and presidential transitions of power, appear to be collectively under threat in ways they have not been since the Civil War. Scholars diverge on both the sources of and responses to the crisis. For some, the problem is too much democracy, and the solution is less. For others, the problem is too little democracy, and the solution is more. This review offers a synthesis of the contrasting accounts of American democracy in crisis and advances a third alternative of better democracy as a key to escaping the crisis.
美国民主正处于危机之中。情感极化和民粹主义的出现造成了美国的分裂,双方都认为每次选举都是对其生活方式、价值观和民主本身的威胁。自由民主的核心特征,包括投票权、制衡制度和总统权力交接,似乎正以南北战争以来从未有过的方式集体受到威胁。学者们对危机的根源和应对措施存在分歧。有些人认为,问题在于民主太多,而解决办法则是减少民主。而另一些学者则认为,问题在于民主太少,解决之道在于民主更多。这篇评论综合了关于美国民主危机的截然不同的观点,并提出了第三种选择,即更好的民主是摆脱危机的关键。

The emergence of affective polarization and populism has contributed to a divided America in which both sides perceive every election as an existential threat to their ways of life, values, and democracy itself. Central features of liberal democracy, including the right to vote, the system of checks and balances, and presidential transitions of power, appear to be collectively under threat in ways they have not been since the Civil War. Scholars diverge on both the sources of and responses to the crisis. For some, the problem is too much democracy, and the solution is less. For others, the problem is too little democracy, and the solution is more.

A rich empirical literature documents the consequences of mass incarceration for the wealth, health, and safety of Black Americans. Yet it often frames such consequences as a regrettable artifact of racially disproportionate criminal legal system contact, rather than situating the impetus and functioning of the criminal legal system in the wider context of White political and economic domination. Revisiting a quarter century of mass incarceration research through a stratification economics lens, we highlight how mass incarceration shapes Black–White competition for education, employment, and financial resources and contributes to Black–White disparities in well-being. Highlighting persistent research gaps, we propose a research agenda to better understand how mass incarceration contributes to systematic White advantage. To address mass incarceration's consequences and transform the conditions of White political and economic domination under which it arose, we call for legislative and judicial intervention to remedy White hyper-enfranchisement and reparations to eliminate the Black–White wealth gap.
大量实证文献记录了大规模监禁对美国黑人的财富、健康和安全造成的后果。然而,这些文献往往将这种后果归结为刑事法律系统与种族不相称的接触所造成的令人遗憾的产物,而不是将刑事法律系统的推动力和运作置于白人政治和经济统治的大背景下。通过分层经济学的视角重新审视四分之一世纪以来的大规模监禁研究,我们强调了大规模监禁如何影响黑人与白人在教育、就业和财政资源方面的竞争,以及如何导致黑人与白人在福利方面的差异。我们强调了持续存在的研究空白,并提出了一项研究议程,以更好地了解大规模监禁是如何促成系统性的白人优势的。为了解决大规模监禁的后果并改变产生大规模监禁的白人政治和经济统治条件,我们呼吁进行立法和司法干预,以纠正白人的超选举权,并进行赔偿以消除黑人与白人之间的贫富差距。
