科学社会主义在中国的践行与发展——以重大难题求解为中心的阐释

中国特色社会主义从根本上说是新中国成立以来使科学社会主义从抽象原则到具体实践、从基本理论到鲜活现实、从价值诉求到实际践履不断转化的结果。对诸如科学社会主义核心概念如何在实践中明确内涵、重要而又基本的要求如何落到实处、如何在具有独特国情的落后国家建设社会主义等重大难题的求解,则是这种转化非常重要的内在维度。正是这些难题的不断求解,使得科学社会主义在新中国不断践行,同时又得以创新发展,中国特色社会主义就是在求解这些难题过程中形成和发展起来的。在更高水平、更好效果上求解这些重大难题,是中国特色社会主义砥砺前行、健康发展必需的保障。     

Cognitive Vulnerabilities to Depression for Adolescents in Single-Mother and Two-Parent Families

Although research consistently suggests that adolescents in single-mother families are at increased risk for depression, the mechanisms that explain this relationship are unclear. In a community sample of adolescents (N?=?368; ages 12–16; 50?% female; 50?% White) and their mothers (42?% single), adolescents completed measures of depressive symptoms, rumination, and depressogenic inferential style at baseline and two yearly follow-ups. Mothers reported on stressful events that occurred in the child’s life from birth until baseline. Adolescents raised by single mothers, relative to partnered mothers, experienced more childhood stressors and higher rumination levels at 1-year follow-up. Additionally, higher rumination mediated the relationship between single motherhood and greater youth depressive symptoms at the 2-year follow-up. Clinical implications and developmental considerations are discussed.     

Intellectual property provisions and support for US trade agreements

Intellectual property rights are a key piece of the expanded trade agenda, and the United States has pushed hard to strengthen protections beyond WTO standards in its trade agreements. While agreement provisions governing intellectual property are commonly thought to be an important driver of corporate preferences over US trade policy, systematic empirical evidence for this proposition, especially in comparison to other determinants of trade policy, is generally lacking. To fill this void, this paper examines variation in reliance on intellectual property across US industries to explain attitudes and lobbying on US trade agreements. The effects of IP provisions on support for US trade agreements are politically substantial, though trade remains the primary determinant of preferences over trade agreements.     

The Development of Future Orientation is Associated with Faster Decline in Hopelessness during Adolescence

Hopelessness is implicated in multiple psychological disorders. Little is known, however, about the trajectory of hopelessness during adolescence or how emergent future orientation may influence its trajectory. Parallel process latent growth curve modelling tested whether (i) trajectories of future orientation and hopelessness and (ii) within-individual change in future orientation and hopelessness were related. The study was comprised of 472 adolescents [52% female, 47% Caucasian, 47% received free lunch] recruited at ages 12–13 who completed measures of future orientation and hopelessness at five annual assessments. The results indicate that a general decline in hopelessness across adolescence occurs quicker for those experiencing faster development of future orientation, when controlling for age, sex, low socio-economic status in addition to stressful life events in childhood and adolescence. Stressful childhood life events were associated with worse future orientation at baseline and negative life events experienced during adolescence were associated with both an increase in the trajectory of hopelessness as well as a decrease in the trajectory of future orientation. This study provides compelling evidence that the development of future orientation during adolescence is associated with a faster decline in hopelessness.     

Macro development planning in tropical Africa: Technocratic and non‐technocratic causes of failure

Based on the targets given in the development plans and the national income data of twenty‐two tropical Africa countries in the late 1960s, this paper finds a wide consensus among the planners on the structural determinants of the macro variables selected as plan targets, so that difference in targets can be explained largely by the different values assumed by these determinants in the sample countries. The implementation record was poor, and may be traced in part to a domino effect inherent in the recursive structure of target selection. The analysis of the causes of implementation failure shows that most of the causes lie outside of the competence of the planners. Alternative methods to calculate plan targets are not likely to meet with superior fulfilment results.     

欧华联会的欧盟治理参与:路径、实践与趋势

西方主流经济思潮的本质与危害探析

历史和实践反复证明一个真理,只有马克思主义才是科学的世界观、方法论,只有发展着的马克思主义——科学发展观才是推动中国经济科学发展的良方。新自由主义不过是经济自由主义教条、国际金融垄断集团政治纲领与意识形态工具的混合体,而凯恩斯主义则是垄断资本主义生产主义变异与消费主义母体的双重意识形态外壳。只有坚决排除西方主流经济思潮的干扰,始终坚持以科学发展观为指导,才能推动中国经济又好又快发展,最终促进人的全面发展,实现中华民族的伟大复兴。

社会性别视角下当代高校女生节现象研究

高校女生节现象是随在校女大学生群体日趋壮大,社会性别教育逐渐由第一课堂发展到第二课堂而出现的产物。女生节活动的开展逐渐改变了校园文化的性别无差异状态,提供给女大学生成长发展更加开阔的舞台,培育了女子社团组织活动的场域空间,也为女性研究和行动组织介入校园文化建设,开展社会性别意识教育提供了新的途径。
