The birth and development of the language of global development in light of trends in global population,international politics,economics and globalisation

The 1940s saw an intensification of worldwide interest in the problems of development and underdevelopment. One consequence of this was a rapid evolution of the language of global development. The reconstruction of its genesis is most commonly attempted through the analysis of literature on the subject and accounts by those who took part in or observed the debates of the time concerning the world’s development and structure. This article proposes a different approach which locates important events in the evolution of the modern language of global development on timelines tracing populational, political, socio-economic and civilisational processes.     

Trends in the proportion of married women of reproductive age in Spain, 1887–1991

Using the Princeton nuptiality index I_m, we analyzed historical developments in the proportion of married women of reproductive age in Spain. We show the internal diversity in nuptiality patterns and offer an explanatory statistical model based on panel data analysis to identify the main variables influencing these changes over more than a century (1887–1991). We found that Spain has been the developed country with the greatest contrasts in its provincial nuptiality patterns (measured by I_m), although this diversity has lessened over the course of time. We also found that some socioeconomic variables (the gross domestic product per capita and the percentage of population living in cities) do not have a linear relationship with female nuptiality but rather have a U shape or an inverted U shape. This may partly account for some of the controversy that has raged on this topic over the past few decades on an international level.     

西方竞争性政党体制下的政党共识及思考

资本主义国家工会危机对中国工会的警示

目前资本主义国家工会正在遭遇重大危机,大部分资本主义国家的工会组织建制率出现了持续下降的趋势.与之相反,中国工会“一枝独秀”,工会组织建制率和职工入会率不断攀升.但是中国工会不能在数字面前盲目乐观、高枕无忧,应警惕资本主义国家工会危机,强化中国工会群众性基础.资本主义国家工会危机与其工会自身存在的问题密切相关,尤其是与其不断弱化的群众基础有直接关系.中国工人阶级呈现“国际重组”的队伍特征、中国工人阶级的“自觉、自为”意识逐渐觉醒、中国工人阶级组织化呈现多条途径,工人阶级出现的这些特征变化都要求中国工会强化群众性基础.扩大工会会员范围、切实履行工会维权职责、创新工会服务职工的活动内容是强化中国工会群众性基础的路径策略.     

关于中国新型城镇化发展的元思考

党和国家把新型城镇化作为一个新的发展战略。推进新型城镇化必须充分考虑中国的人口、国土、经济和粮食状况以及公平正义的理念。该文建议一要遵循城镇化发展的基本规律，可持续的推进；二要促进公共服务均等化，让农村更美好；三要推行产城一体化模式，节约利用资源。     

Climate change: the risks of stranded fossil fuel assets and resources to the developing world

Under the Paris Agreement, 80% of all proven fossil fuel reserves become stranded resources and investments already made in such resources turn into stranded assets. Much of the existing literature focuses on equitable burden sharing; only a few articles examine the risks for developing countries that invest in new fossil fuels. Hence, this paper addresses the question: What are the risks of investing in fossil fuels for developing countries? In doing so, it examines Kenya, a prospective fossil fuel producer, and China, an investor in fossil fuels. In terms of short- to long-term risks, ignoring new fossil fuels and investing in renewables is favourable and politically, socially, ecologically and economically more rewarding, not least because latecomers to development run the risk of having to compensate investors when new fossil fuel assets strand prematurely and become unrecoverable.     

科学总结后发展国家社会主义的历史经验和规律性——对“东方社会理论”的质疑

如何总结后发展国家社会主义的历史经验和规律性，是一个十分重要的问题。所谓“马克思主义东方社会理论”及其相关范畴，不能认为是对历史事实和经典作家理论思想的科学概括和严谨归纳，对此理应提出质疑。一些“东方学”学者所提出的问题多半是重要的；问题在于，当前理论家最重要的使命，不是独出心裁地构筑什么“马克思主义东方社会理论体系”，而是深刻总结“十月革命”以来共产主义运动正反两方面的历史经验，总结后发展国家走上社会主义道路的历史经验和规律性，重新审视传统社会主义的理论和实践，为后发展国家正确选择发展道路提供科学的理论支撑。     

"新农村"背景下农民工就业权之法理分析

农民工是伴随着中国改革开放而产生的新兴社会群体,在劳动力市场中处于弱势地位,其就业权益的保障和实现不同程度地受到了旧体制的制约,有的甚至还存在法律的盲区。深入探讨农民工就业权的法理依据,透析我国农民工就业权的保护现状,进而寻求促进和保障实现农民工就业权的对策,对实现建设社会主义新农村的目标,保障整个社会和谐有序发展具有重要意义。     

西方国家水务民营化差异探究

西方国家水务民营化方式主要有全面民营化、公私伙伴关系和法律禁止民营化三种。西方国家水务民营化差异成因可能有文化或社会上的解释、经济学和理性选择的解释和制度上的解释。这些解释可以通过引入变量进行模型分析,然后得出初步结论,即水务民营化与水务物质技术特征有关,与社会利益表达机制有关。
