社会文明结构:二分法抑或三分法

社会文明结构是一个比较具有争议性的问题，其中二分法和三分法的争论尤为激烈。二分法是一种长期以来居于学术界正统地位的观点，然而它具有在科学上的不严格性及与社会实践的不相适应性等缺点。社会文明的结构应该是物质文明、制度文明、精神文明这三个要素的统一体。制度文明是一种与物质文明、精神文明相区别的独立的客观的社会存在。构建“制度文明”范畴，引入物质文明、制度文明、精神文明三分法，具有众多的理论依据和重大的社会实践意义。

Childhood poverty and evidence-based policy engagement in Ethiopia

This article explores efforts to bridge multi-disciplinary research and policy engagement to tackle child poverty in the contexts of developing countries, based on the experiences of Young Lives, an international longitudinal policy-research project. It focuses on a case study involving the application of research evidence on child poverty to shape policy debates concerning Ethiopia's second-generation Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (2006–2010). The discussion is situated within theoretical literature on the interface between knowledge, policy, and practice, which supports the conceptualisation of policy making as a non-linear dynamic process. It pays particular attention to the importance of understanding the political and policy contexts of Southern countries, rather than assuming that they should simply import Northern-derived models of advocacy. It concludes by identifying general lessons for translating research into social-policy change.

原语主义与译语主义——中日早期天主教术语翻译问题探析

异质文化之间的"不可共量性(incommensurability)"是导致异质语言对译难题的根源所在。为达到相异文化之间的交流与理解,首先应当面对的问题就是语言的障碍。16世纪东来天主教耶酥会士在面对中日文化时首先遭遇的就是天主教术语的翻译问题,因中日文化性格与地位的不同而分别采取了不同的翻译原则法,在日本最后采取了直接音译的原语主义,在中国则是意译的译语主义。     

New forms of environmental governance? A case study of Costa Rican environmental NGOs

Increasingly development theorists and practitioners view NGOs as catalysts of sustainable development. NGOs have been regarded as champions of democratisation and promoters of new ways of engaging in politics, with considerable influence on the development of civil society and new partnerships in environmental and social advocacy. This article analyses the ways in which Costa Rican environmental NGOs (ENGOs) engage in politics, by focusing on their perceptions of their roles in environmental governance and in representation of civil society. The results of this study suggest that the ENGOs' ways of engaging in politics differ little from traditional forms of governance, while their conceptions of engaging in politics without being political are novel. While most ENGOs had no clear conception of the stakeholders whom they were supposed to be representing, the notion of representativeness is complex and should be revisited.     

International volunteering for development and sustainability: outdated paternalism or a radical response to globalisation?

This article discusses the history and evolution of international volunteer-sending agencies and volunteers as a response not only to symptoms but also to causes of global poverty and inequality. It considers how international volunteers might be defined, what makes their role different from other forms of overseas development assistance (particularly their contribution to capacity development), and the positives and negatives that may accompany those differences. It also reflects on international volunteers' suitability as contributors in the transition to a globally more ecologically sustainable state, presenting some insights from volunteers and other stakeholders.
