Compared to the more illustrious conceptualization of private property, the conceptualiza-tion of public property remains at a surprisingly infantile stage. The very definition of public property is ambiguous. This article utilizes a comparative case study of traffic congestion policies in the United States, China, and Singapore to highlight the conceptual pitfalls posed by the current confusion on public property. This article proposes a refined public property framework that offers greater conceptual clarity on the real issues at stake. In particular, this article argues that “property” in public property should include regulatory permits while “public” in public property should not be …

The 2007 debate over the retention of Singapore’s male sodomy law provision set off a vigorous and passionate public debate reminiscent of the U.S.’s culture war. However, the Singapore government’s final decision reflects an interesting compromise. The law was retained, but its moral content severely curtailed with the promise of non-proactive enforcement against private consensual adult activity, the proclamation of accommodating the gay community and the concession of the inborn nature of homosexuality. This article critically examines this episode of culture war in Singapore and explores the political dynamics driving the compromise. Enriching public choice theory on interest group capture, …

The passage of the Heilongjiang Province Regulation on Climate Resources Survey and Protection (the “Regulation”) that regulates wind and solar energy generation sparked a public furor because it contains a provision that stipulates, “climate resources are owned by the state.” As a case study of this regulatory attempt to manage emerging natural resources, this Article makes the following three arguments. First, the “nationalization” provision in the Regulation is legally compatible with Chinese law that conceives of public property as state-owned property and not as property that requires public access. Second, a clear designation of the state as the manager of …

与美国仅仅强调私人财产权利不同，中国同时重视公共财产与私人财产两方面的保护。然而目前中国的理论界没有对政府处理公共财产的不同行为之间的细微差别进行深入地观察与区分，进而忽视了这些行为有可能潜在地将公共财产转移给私人的事实。授予法理(givings jurisprudence)有助于分析中国现行公共财产保护制度的优点与不足。通过展示如何在授予法理下有效地保护公共财产，新加坡的实践经验可以为我们提供一个很好的研究范例。 In contrast with the emphasis of private property protection in the United States, public property protection featured prominently in China’s communist-influenced legal discourse. However, Chinese academics and scholars have thus far failed to appreciate the nuanced nature of the different types of government actions and their potential of creating/distributing private wealth. This article utilizes the case study of Singapore to demonstrate how the givings jurisprudence (i.e. the emphasis of ensuring beneficiaries of government actions pay fair value of the benefits received) constitute a critical pillar in the protection of public property.
