Coordinate Rule of Law Efforts in Both Domestic and Foreign-Related Matters

Taking a coordinated approach to promoting the rule of law at home and in matters involving foreign parties stands as one of the essentials of Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law.The profound essence of this concept is predominantly articulated through the dialectic nexus between the rule of law at home and in matters involving foreign parties and the foundational necessities and underlying principles for their coordinated advancement.This concept is intellectually rooted in the legal theory of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics,the theory of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics,modern progressive theories of international law,and the exemplary facets of traditional Chinese culture.It is aligned with contemporary trends and in harmony with the need to take a holistic approach to imperatives at home and abroad.This philosophy underscores the approach to building a human community with a shared future through the rule of law,guaranteeing the fruition of national strategic aspirations.This resonates with profound contemporary,integrative,international,and strategic significance.Presently,the focus should be on fostering the development of foreign-related rule of law,maintaining the correct equilibrium between the dyad of rule of law in domestic and foreign-related matters.It is imperative to augment strategic design and institutional construction in the realm of rule of law on issues related to foreign parties,step up research on and practical application of international law,and reinforce the cultivation of legal professionals in this area to take a coordinated approach to advance the rule of law at home and in matters involving foreign parties.

加强涉外法治体系建设的顶层擘画——论学习贯彻习近平总书记重要讲话精神

习近平总书记在中央政治局第十次集体学习时就加强涉外法治建设所作系列重要论述,是马克思主义法治理论中国化的最新成果。“长远所需”和“当务之急”,凸显了新形势下加强涉外法治建设的重要性和紧迫性。中国涉外法治建设成就巨大、来之不易,但仍存在不少短板弱项,亟待弥补。我国海外利益全方位多层次高速度拓展,外部法律风险与挑战前所未有,干涉与反干涉、制裁与反制裁外交斗争激烈,客观上要求强化法治思维,善用法治方式,“以法斗法”“以法制法”,丰富外交斗争法律“工具箱”,一体推进涉外立法、执法、司法、守法和法律服务,形成涉外法治工作大协同格局。必须坚持统筹推进国内法治和涉外法治,不断完善涉外法治体系和能力建设,为中国式现代化行稳致远营造有利法治条件和外部环境。

习近平法治思想中的重大实践创新及形成机制

系统归纳、提炼习近平法治思想中的重大实践创新及其背后所遵循的理性生产机制具有重要意义。习近平法治思想实践创新的根本前提是习近平总书记在马克思主义实践观指引下,以政治家的高屋建瓴、思想家的磅礴力量对法治中国的形势与战略进行的准确分析和深刻判断。习近平法治思想中的重大实践创新主要表现在全面依法治国的思维方式重大创新、全面依法治国的总体布局重大创新、全面依法治国适应新时代鲜明特征的重大创新等三个方面,形成了具有原创性的实践创新机制。这些机制创新作用于典型场景,为全面依法治国发生历史性变革、取得历史性成就提供了重要保障。习近平法治思想实践创新具有重大意义与显著优势,在未来更多的法治课题上,习近平法治思想的实践创新伟力还将发挥更多的破题、引领作用,需要通过习近平法治思想中自主实践知识体系的转型来进一步把握未来各种法治实践场景中蕴含的新规律,推动知识转型。

论习近平法治思想的党的领导观

习近平总书记关于坚持党对全面依法治国的领导的一系列论述构成了习近平法治思想的党的领导观。逻辑自洽性、历史必然性、自我革命性是党领导法治的三大理论和实践依据。逻辑自洽性反映为党的领导和依法治国的理论逻辑自洽、党的领导和依法治国的实践逻辑自洽、中国法治与西方法治相区别的制度逻辑自洽。历史必然性意味着历史选择党领导法治的必然性、人民选择党领导法治的必然性、党领导法治的历史规律性。自我革命性表现为通过依法治国践行初心使命、通过依法治国实现自我修复、通过依法治国实现与时俱进。

论新时代特色法治理论的人民性

新时代特色法治理论是马克思主义唯物史观和中华传统法律文化民本思想的凝练升华,植根于新时代中国特色社会主义土壤,始终坚持依靠人民、为了人民和服务人民的政治立场。因此,新时代特色法治理论以人民至上为初心使命,以保障人民权益为根本宗旨,以人的自由全面发展为奋斗目标。新时代特色法治理论人民性的实现路径是:立法贯彻以民为本的思想,执法牢记为人民服务的宗旨,司法坚持人民至上的原则,守法彰显法律面前人人平等的理念。

全面依法治国视域下大学生法治意识培养模式研究

新时代我国实施全面依法治国方略,高等教育的重要一环是培养大学生法治意识。然而,当前大学生法治意识培养存在的问题和挑战也日益凸显,需要进行深入研究和解决。探讨全面依法治国视域下的大学生法治意识培养模式,并对该模式进行实践与效果评估,探索可行的培养方法,有助于为高校法治教育提供科学有效的参考和借鉴。

新时代高等学校内部规则治理的理念与路径——兼论一级法治与二级法治的关系

对于高等学校贯彻落实党的二十大精神而言,依法治校作为目标,事关全面依法治国的成败,作为方法,又事关高等教育高质量发展各项指标的达成。高等学校的依法治校有外部视角和内部视角两种语境,内部视角与外部视角之和就是法治的整体。作为高等学校内部的二级法治的基本进路是以一级法治作为参照系建构的,是一级法治的路径映射到校园。但是高等学校内部二级法治的三个不利因素决定了其实现过程更加艰难,如何克服这三个不利因素不仅仅是大学内部二级法治的核心,更是推进全面依法治国整体水平的核心。

充分发挥党内法规制度在全面从严治党体系中的保障作用

用制度保障党的各方面建设有机衔接、联动集成、协同协调,促进全面从严治党各要素的贯通联动,是健全全面从严治党体系的必由之路。党内法规制度在管党治党实践中以其特有的政治引领机制、激励驱动机制、网络整合机制在全面从严治党体系中发挥着重要作用。未来应持续完善党内法规制度体系,促进党内法规制度治理效能转化提升,坚定不移把全面从严治党向纵深推进。

新时代背景下我国生态法治的价值定位与实践路径

随着实现人与自然和谐共生的现代化成为中国式现代化的重要内容之一,我国生态法治建设也将承担新的任务。与此同时,习近平法治思想和习近平生态文明思想在坚持党领导生态法治建设、保障人民利益、推崇制度之治等方面为新时代我国生态法治建设提供了思想引领和理念遵循。我国生态法治建设将在统筹贯彻习近平法治思想与习近平生态文明思想、确立环境治理体系法治逻辑、以法治实践贯彻党的执政主题等方面发挥其应有的时代价值。立足我国现实国情,可从巩固生态法治理论根基、实现党的领导与生态法治整体协同、在法治轨道推进环境治理体系现代化等方面探索新时代背景下我国生态法治的实践路径。

新时代高校宪法权威教育的意蕴、挑战与路径

中国特色社会主义宪法权威赓续于中华法系的优秀传统、发展于马克思主义法学的理论根基、确认于中国共产党依法执政的政治引领、立足于中国特色社会主义法治实践。宪法权威教育是宪法权威生成的基本渠道,必然也必须成为国民教育体系的核心主题之一。高校作为大学生完成政治社会化的终端载体,必须将宪法权威教育放在推动全面依法治国、培养合格公民和促进人的全面发展的高度,充分发挥其“主渠道”作用。具象来看,塑造大学生宪法权威观仍然面临去中心化带来的认知不足、非专业性导致的知识短板、多维冲突形成的价值缺位和法治实践背离造成的认同偏差等多重挑战。要迎接挑战、走出困境,高校必须建构宪法权威教育的话语体系、教材体系、教学体系和实践体系。

新时代乡村法治建设的主要问题与路径选择

全面依法治国和乡村振兴是国家战略,乡村振兴必然在法治建设的轨道上运行,而全面依法治国的建设有赖于乡村法治实践的进步。当前,乡村法治建设存在诸多问题,主要受到村民法治意识不高、涉农法律法规不完善、执法水平待提升和公共法律服务供给不足等方面的影响和制约,针对此现状,从乡村村民实际需要出发,结合新时代社会发展的新形式积极寻找推进乡村法治建设的路径。

论党内法规的基本原则

党内法规基本原则是指直接和集中反映党规本质内容和基本精神的党内法规活动的指导原理和准则。确立党内法规基本原则具有将党内法规的本质和基本价值制度化、指导立规实践、引领党内法规执行的重要意义。党内法规基本原则有四个方面,即全面领导原则、思想建党原则、制度治党原则、政治建设统领原则。党内法规基本原则之间是有机统一的关系,全面领导原则是党内法规基本原则的根本方面,思想建党原则、制度治党原则和政治建设统领原则是为全面领导原则服务的。思想建党原则和制度治党原则是管党治党的两种基本方式,政治建设统领原则是对党的各项建设的统领,在服务于党的全面领导原则下,统领思想建党原则和制度治党原则。

习近平法治思想概论课程教学的若干概念辨析

习近平法治思想概论课程是高校法学类专业学生系统学习掌握习近平法治思想的核心课程。正确理解教材中的中国特色社会主义理论、中国特色社会主义法治理论、习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想、习近平法治思想、全面依法治国、党的领导等若干个重要概念及其之间的联系,对教授传达课程整体思想,培养合格的法治人才队伍具有重要的理论和实践意义。

Creating an Extraterritorial Application System of Chinese Law: From the Perspective of Advancing the Rule of Law in Domestic and Foreign-Related Affairs in a Coordinated Manner

The rule of law in foreign-related affairs breaks down the distinction between domestic law and international law,as well as between the rule of law in domestic affairs and that in international affairs,providing a bridge for China to build lawbased governance and to reform the global governance system for the new era.The extraterritorial application of domestic law can lead to legal conflicts between nations and conflicts between domestic law and international law.The principle of extraterritorially applying domestic law should be based on not violating the prohibitive provisions of international law and resolving legal conflicts through the conclusion of international treaties or negotiations.In the systematic undertaking of taking a coordinated approach to the rule of law in Chinese domestic and foreignrelated affairs,thebuilding ofChina's system of extraterritorial application of domestic law should be accelerated under the unified leadership by the Communist Party of China,with legislative,executive,and judicial authorities performing their respective duties.This building should be based on multilateralism,taking into account the legitimate concerns of other countries,and with the bottom line of not violating the prohibitive provisions of international law,and should be promoted with a balanced approach considering both"offense"and"defense."
