人性与犯罪起源

人性与犯罪在起源上具有同步性。人性在起源的复杂过程中为犯罪的发生创造了条件。这包括制造工具的产生、思维的产生和人类社会的形成。犯罪之所以能伴随着人性的起源而发生,根本原因在于人性的异化。犯罪起源于非规范行为,非规范行为根源于三大差异,即人性的差异。我国在犯罪起源上的传统观点认为犯罪起源于私有制,这并非马克思主义的观点。实际上恩格斯在《家庭、私有制和国家的起源》中,早已用大量材料证明了犯罪是起源于原始社会的。

Strange bedfellows: Dynamics of government‐business relations between Chinese local authorities and Taiwanese investors

China poses a theoretical challenge in that corruption and rent‐seeking activities have not hindered foreign direct investment and economic development. Studies in development have documented the problems of rent‐seeking. International capital presumably hesitates to step into a Third‐World country such as China, which cannot protect private property rights with a comprehensive legal framework. However, for the last decade in China export promotion, foreign capital, and industrial development have proceeded simultaneously. This research argues that local officials helped investors overcome the problem of high transaction costs during a period of institutional uncertainty and local informal rules supplied foreigners with effective protection of property rights under corrupt circumstances. By controlling rent‐seeking activities, local officials created a wide variety of ad hoc patronage for private and foreign investments within their administrative domain. In return, local governments received extrabudgetary payments for the official patronage. This article provides an in‐depth case study of the so‐called joint venture between Taiwanese enterprises and Chinese local authorities in the Pearl River Delta, the institutional bases for their collaboration and the dynamics of the relationship under institutional change.     

公共管理学重述:需求溢出理论的逻辑思路与基本主张

在需求溢出理论看来,公共事务源于个人的需求溢出,即个人需求超出其本人及家庭的满足能力的状态。解决个人的需求溢出问题是公共管理的终极使命,而解决个人的需求溢出问题的唯一途径就依靠公共生活中别人的利他行为,因此公共性就是利他性。需求溢出问题的解决顺序应根据需求正义来确定,需求正义应依据传宗人理性来衡量。公共利益是需求冲突中具有压倒性正义优势的一方的需求溢出;御器之术和统术之道构成了公共管理学的知识体系;公共管理学科的人才培养目标及核心竞争力在于培养人的利他之心、利他之识、利他之能。
