Little has been done to quantitatively establish the connection between the middle class and a specific regime type. In an
effort to fill in the gap, this study uses Asian Barometer survey dataset to examine the attitudes and orientation of China’s
rising middle class. We find that the Chinese middle class does show higher democratic orientation than those we categorize
as lower class, but only if class is defined by occupation or by self-identification, and not by income level. We interpret
this result to mean that economic development offers new life experiences with the creation of new types of professions and
enhances people’s agreement with modern democratic values by arousing people’s consciousness of their new social class status.

The restoration and development of political science as a discipline in China since 1980 benefits from its methodological
improvements that were made largely by introducing research approaches from western academia. The aim of this paper is to
examine the evolution of the introduction based on articles published in Chinese academic journals since 1990. There exists
a wide diversity in research approaches in political science, and the authors try to explain why each approach has a different
impact on Chinese political studies and how the introduction of such knowledge has changed the way Chinese political researchers
understand the methodology and political science as a discipline.

It is both a truth and a truism that Chinese politics cannot be understood without reference to Chinese culture (a truth and
truism that would apply to any other society as well). But within the academic discipline of political science political culture
has lost status over the past generation as not conducive to the development of empirical political theory. The usual candidate
for replacement is rational choice theory. But properly understood, political culture is compatible with rational choice,
inasmuch as there is no single standard of rationality, but, rather, it will vary from society to society and era to era.
Considerations of the cultural background are necessary to provide content to rational choice theory, since without consideration
of culture context rational choice threatens to reduce to a set of colorless banalities.

This article outlines the recent development of Chinese political studies spawned by the transformation of Chinese politics
in the post-Mao era, with its focus mainly on contributions from the Chinese scholarship. After a close examination of the
applicability of the western theories on the transforming politics in China, it reviews the indigenous methodologies, the
theorizations on the Chinese Communist Party, the state-society relationship analysis, and research on the central-local relationship.
Referring to the original works in different periods, the article generally portrays the indigenous contributions of the Chinese
academia, and illustrates the essential connections between real politics and theoretical progress.

The article examines illustrations from ancient and modern societies to consider the connections between power, social elites
and knowledge of techniques to promote longevity. In pre-modern societies, knowledge of practices and substances to promote
longevity were cultivated by elites such as the Chinese imperial court. In modern societies, new technologies—cryonics, cloning,
stem-cell applications and nanotechnology—will offer exclusive and expensive methods for prolonging life for the rich. However
one important difference between the ancient and modern world is that with secularization longevity is no longer connected
with a moral life; longevity is not a reward for sanctity. We have democratized the ambition for long life but not necessarily
its realization. The modern quest for longevity appears to be connected with the desire of Baby Boomer generations to hold
on to their assets, but while modern medicine may help us to survive forever, it cannot tell us how to live forever.

While the study of transitional justice, and especially truth commissions, has gained in popularity over the past two decades,
the literature is overwhelmingly focused on activities in democratizing states. This introduces a selection bias that interferes
with proper analysis of causes and consequences of transitional justice on a global scale. In this paper, I discuss conditions
under which new repressive elites, and even old repressive elites who survive to rule and repress in nominally new systems,
may choose to launch broad investigations of the past. I argue that such a decision is based on two primary considerations,
the presence of internally or externally based incentives (e.g., foreign aid) and the level of political control enjoyed by
old elites in the new system. I apply this argument to post-Soviet Central Asia, including a detailed case study of Uzbekistan’s
1999 truth commission based on domestic media analysis and local elite interviews.

Changes in immigration laws over the last three to four decades have given rise to unprecedented numbers of undocumented children.
However, as others have argued, policies regarding the control of undocumented migration have had deleterious effects on undocumented
children and their basic access to social rights. Undocumented youth in the United States can legally attend K-12 education,
but cannot legally work, vote, receive financial aid, or drive in most states. Their situation calls for a reexamination of
immigration laws and a recasting of the frame that has been used to promote their inclusion.

Lin Chun 《Journal of Chinese Political Science》2009,14(1):21-48
This is the second of a three-part polemic against the destruction of state owned enterprises in China (the first, “Against
Privatization: A Historical and Empirical Argument”, is published in JCPS 13:1, 2008). It critically examines the ideology of privatization and argues for alternative guidelines of reform. The central
contention is that a healthy market economy does not require domination of private property; rather it relies on apposite
political-legal-ideological power and regulatory-monitoring regimes of accumulation and distribution socially legitimated
within a given public culture. Rejecting the fallacies of ownership determinism and precision requirement on property rights
for morality and efficiency, this essay clarifies distinction between the notion of exclusive properties and the vision of
their socialized utility and management. Justifications for reforming state and private sectors alike in accordance with a
unifying commons of social defense and feasibilities of innovative reform measures and policy proposals in that direction,
will be elaborated in a third essay titled “Overcoming Privatization: A Strategic and Institutional Argument”.

Popular reactions to the transition from centrally planned socialism to a market-based economy are explored through an examination
of survey data on distributive justice and injustice attitudes in Beijing, China, in 2000, and in Warsaw, Poland, in 2001.
In both capitals objective socioeconomic status characteristics of respondents have weaker and less consistent associations
with distributive injustice attitudes than measures of subjective social status and self-reported trends in family standards
of living. When objective and subjective respondent background characteristics are controlled for statistically, residents
of democratic and enthusiastically capitalist Warsaw have stronger feelings of distributive injustice than respondents in
undemocratic and only partially reformed Beijing. However, one exception to this pattern is that Beijing residents favor government
redistribution to reduce income differences more than their Warsaw counterparts. Conjectures about the sources of these differences
in distributive injustice attitudes are offered.

in contemporary China, China’s distinctive economic development path, and popular attitudes toward distributive injustice

Diqing Lou 《Journal of Chinese Political Science》2009,14(2):167-190
This paper is interested in the decline of congressional voting in urban China. Classic studies in comparative politics long
argue that with economic development, countries would experience increased level of political participation. Employing the
1993 Social Mobility and Social Change Survey and 2002 Asian Barometer Survey, I found congressional voting in urban China
declined substantially in the past decade. With the analyses of the Probit Model and Generalized Linear Model, I contributed
this decline to the disappearance of sociopolitical institutions that used to serve critical conduits for citizens’ participation.
I argue that although economic development produces more resources to encourage participation, overall political participation
actually declines in urban China and the public opts to withdraw from politics.

This article presents three main findings from a purposive stratified survey of urban and rural residents. First, Chinese
citizens “disaggregate” the state with high levels of satisfaction for Central government that fall dramatically as government
gets closer to the people. Satisfaction levels are noticeably lower for those in rural China. Second, attitudes about the
way policy is implemented by local governments raise concerns. Irrespective of place of residence, respondents feel that when
implementing policy local officials and governments are mainly concerned with their own interests, are more receptive to the
views of their superiors rather than those of ordinary people, favor those with money, and are formalistic in implementing
policy rather than dealing with actual problems. Third, the areas of work that citizens would really like government to concentrate
on are job creation and providing basic guarantees to protect against the shocks of the transition to a market economy.

This meditative essay by a writer and professor reflects on the milestone of reaching 50 years of age. The author relates
his own experiences and those of his elder literary friends and colleagues who have felt comparable anxieties and coped with
similar challenges toward aging and death. He records their own milestones on life’s journey as well as their insightful and
often quite hopeful, if not always cheery, responses. Several of them, like the author, admit that turning 50 has entailed
for them a coming to terms with the impossibility of realizing some immortality projects.

The Age of Geoeconomics, China’s Global Role, and Prospects of Cross-Strait Integration 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
James C. Hsiung 《Journal of Chinese Political Science》2009,14(2):113-133
After noting the rise of geoeconomics in the post-Cold War era, the paper ascertains how the age of geoeconomics re-defines
power and the rules of the balance of power game. Of particular significance is that a nation’s economic security eclipses
its military security (or traditional national defense). In this context, I examine the meanings of the rise of a re-ascendant
China for world politics in general and for Taiwan’s future in particular. Considering Taiwan’s heavy dependence on imported
natural resources and its isolation and exclusion from vital international economic groupings, such as FTA’s. ASEAN, ASEM,
and the 16-nation Asian super economic bloc in the marking. Finally, I take a prospective look at the prospect of a future
cross-Strait integration between Taiwan and mainland China under the impact of the dictate of geoeconomics.

In the wake of globalisation, we have witnessed the rise of the transnational corporation—powerful, new players in an international
human rights system ill-equipped to handle the challenge. Despite the best efforts of the United Nations, international treaties
and human rights lawyers the world over, there is simply no mandatory international code of corporate conduct targeting human
rights practices. Enter the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA), a once-obscure U.S. statute that provides a private cause of action
for violations of international human rights law committed by governmental and non-governmental actors. This paper will examine
recent ATCA jurisprudence, the landmark Unocal settlement, and the ATCA’s role in reining in Yahoo! Inc. for supplying evidence
used to convict Chinese dissidents Wang Xiaoning and Shi Tao.

David Riesman, the Harvard sociologist, rose to eminence in the 1950s as one of America’s most influential “public intellectuals,”
gaining renown as principal author of the must-read sociological classic of the time, The Lonely Crowd. In that work, Riesman accounted for something of a sea-change in American life, marked by his famous distinction between
inner-directed and other-directed character-types, and in such a convincing fashion that the book became a watershed in post-war
America’s understanding of itself. Beyond that, Riesman continued to carry out urbane studies of a wide-ranging array of subjects,
all the while actively engaged in the major political–ideological–ethical controversies and torments of his time. As something
of a principled yet reasoned “Establishmentarian” contrarian, Riesman extended the work of such incisive social thinkers as
Tocqueville, Max Weber, Veblen, and George Orwell. In this personal appreciation, Michael Delaney charts his acquaintanceship
with Riesman, going back to the early 1960s (Riesman acted as a kind of mentor to Delaney at a distance; the two never met
in person and their association was carried on solely through letters spanning some three decades). The essay surveys Riesman’s
intellectual legacy as a self-conceived ethnographer of American life, and dwells on his “exceptionalism” as a generous, caring,
high-minded man of principle, discerning judgment, and exemplary character.

This work discusses why Marxist vanguard parties require ideology in their struggle to gain and maintain political power.
Despite being considered theoretically inconsistent with classical Marxism and western vernacular, I chart etymologically
how “ideology” came to China and proliferated during the Mao era as a positively framed term via, in all likelihood, Japanese
renderings of Leninism. After discussing ideological challenges under Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin, I explore whether Hu
Jintao’s scientific development and harmony concepts might be understood as ideological campaigns which—by synthesizing Maoist
and Dengist approaches to ideology—effectively address what otherwise be referred to as the Party’s telos problem, and thus resolve in part the threat to the Party’s vanguard claim.

Immigration is related to widening inequality and insecurity in the United States, but it is not the main cause of such changes
and to focus on the host/immigrant conflict diverts attention from many different elite projects that have widened inequality.
Moral arguments about immigration cannot just address outsiders who only want to get into nations, but must address the moral
situation of people in the process of entry and especially of insider/outsiders, people already in. Over the long run, civic
nationalism is a healthier model than exclusionary biological or cultural fundamentalist definitions of the national community.

The experience of Soviet involvement in Afghanistan (1979–1989) is considered through the prism of institutional transfers.
Afghanistan has a long history of attempts to implement Muslim, Soviet and Anglo-Saxon institutional designs. Most of them
have failed. This failure can be attributed to the lack of ‘elective affinity’ between traditional and new institutions imported
from more developed countries. It is argued that a careful examination of the degree of elective affinity must precede any
attempt of institutional transfers. An analysis of Ph.D. dissertations defended by Afghan students at Soviet and Russian universities
complements logical arguments and references to historical facts.
