A quarter century after his death in 1982, Dwight Macdonald is, unjustly, a largely forgotten man. But for 35 years, from
1940 to 1975, he was America’s leading literary-intellectual journalist and the best-known cultural critic to the general
public. An undogmatic iconoclast and self-professed “revolutionist,” his finest work makes him a worthy descendent of H.L.
Mencken and Edmund Wilson. He is worth remembering.
John Rodden is the author, most recently, of Every Intellectual’s big brother: George Orwell’s Literary Siblings (2007). 相似文献

The role of ideology in Chinese politics has experienced dramatic changes in the past six decades. Mao Zedong had tremendous
power over the political institutions of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). During the Cultural Revolution, he mobilized the
masses against the Party’s institutions in the name of Mao Zedong Thought. Deng Xiaoping significantly downplayed the role
of ideology in politics by trying to avoid theoretical debates. Jiang Zemin invented a new thought, “Three Represents,” yet
the thought was detached from his name when it was enshrined in the CCP Constitution. Most recently, as a result of the political
succession at the Sixteenth National Congress of the CCP, Jiang is no longer the most authoritative interpreter of the thought.
Now it is Hu Jintao, new General Secretary of the CCP, who has become the official interpreter of the thought. He offered
a new interpretation in his July 1st speech on the “Three Represents” in 2003. It seems that ideology is no longer a personal trademark. It has become an asset
of the Party and been institutionalized under Hu Jintao because Hu has become the legitimate interpreter of the Party’s ideology
as the General Secretary of the Party.

The following interview is with a retired eastern German professor whose career constitutes a case history in the comparative
politics of “academic unfreedom”. Professor Erhard Naake was the only Ph.D. student in the history of the German Democratic
Republic (GDR) to write his dissertation on Friedrich Nietzsche, whose work was considered “anti-socialist” throughout the
history of the GDR regime. Because Herr Naake had the temerity to select Nietzsche as his thesis topic – a philosopher whose
work was banned from GDR bookstores and never taught in GDR schools or even universities – he never received an appointment
as a professor in a GDR university. Ironically, however, even after the collapse of the GDR in 1989–1990, Herr Naake was penalized
by the new powers-that-be in reunited Germany. He once again suffered a violation of his academic freedom when the university
evaluation boards, which were composed of western German scholars, refused to let him keep his recently acquired position
as a professor and instead summarily fired him, thus leading to his enforced retirement. As we shall see, the dramatic life
story of Herr Naake reflects not only complicated issues of academic freedom and communist versus capitalist political values,
but also the rich and complex history of eastern Germany both under the Nazis and GDR Communists and within reunited Germany
since 1990.

Recent studies of the career diplomat and distinguished historian George F. Kennan, and particularly a little noted intellectual
biography by Lee Congdon, reveal a side of this figure that has often been neglected. Despite his reputation as a critic of
the Cold War, Kennan was in fact a strong anti-Communist and profoundly conservative thinker. His conventional defenders have
stressed his displeasure with vocal anti-Communism in order to create an image of him that is consistent with their left-of-center
politics. This has come at the expense of playing down unfashionable opinions that Kennan expressed on a wide range of issues.
Many of his opinions, which he viewed as eminently “realistic,” would have been unacceptable to his mainstream admirers even
fifty years ago, were it not for his stands on the Cold War and for certain isolated statements drawn from his post-World
War Two speeches mentioning racial inequality and industrial waste. What is now being published on Kennan’s life, however,
provides a more balanced picture. Congdon and John Lukacs have both offered this necessary corrective to earlier views about
their subject in recent biographical studies. These and other commentators are now highlighting the anti-modernist perspective
from which he viewed and criticized the twentieth century. 相似文献

This paper argues that too restrictive an understanding has governed both academic and popular analysis of the social, cultural,
and political conflicts between the Western European majorities and their Islamic minorities. These conflicts are typically
viewed through the prisms of majority racism and/or minority economic disadvantage. While such social facts are undoubtedly
important, I argue that the ideology of radical Islamism must be taken seriously in any analysis of the problem. Thus, I do
two things in this essay. I outline the elements in twentieth-century radical Islamic writings that relate to the relationship
between (broadly understood) Islamic and Western civilization; I also offer an overview of the now long-lived situation of
culture war in Western Europe that supports my argument that Islamic cultural pathology, more than European racism, is the
chief causal factor. This is intended as a warning that “clash of civilization” and “Islamo-fascism” models, usually disparaged
in the academy, must be taken quite seriously. 相似文献

The sports that billions follow in the world were largely creations of the “first globalization” under the aegis of 19th century
Britain and — to a lesser extent — the United States and Canada. While their cultural dominance in their spaces of hegemonic
existence have not abated, the current process of what has been termed the “second globalization” in the paper creates new
realities that challenge the dominance of these established sports. Global stars are major agents in this re-structuration
who, by dint of their amazing achievements on the global playing fields and courts, and sports’ inherently meritocratic nature
tied to the salience of winning, foster a climate of cosmopolitanism. 相似文献

This paper compares the determination of foreign direct investment and World Bank loans in China, with a focus on the role
of its government. The statistical analysis reveals that World Bank loans responded sensitively to the major regional policy
changes since the mid-1990s, but foreign direct investment did not. These findings pose an analytic challenge to the “strong”
version of the state-centered approaches to the politics of economic development represented by the developmental state literature.
However, they lend support for a “weak” version of the state-centered approaches developed by American political scientists

Pope Benedict XVI’s inflammatory speech at Regensburg highlights a subtle difference between Benedict and John Paul II. John
Paul called Muslims and Jews “sons of Abraham,” and he organized high-profile interfaith events. Benedict is more skeptical
of interreligious dialog and more confrontational toward Islam than was his predecessor. This shift in tone toward Islam stems
from changed historical circumstances. Islam has replaced communism as Europe’s biggest ideological challenge. But, there
are also subtle theological differences between the two Popes. John Paul was trained by Dominicans, and throughout his papacy,
he was a champion of St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Augustine, with his bleaker view of non-Christian cultures, is the dominant influence
on Benedict. Benedict believes that theologies of religious pluralism, which lead to metaphysical and religious relativism,
have replaced liberation theologies as the most serious threats to Catholic orthodoxy.

Based on extensive field research that the author has conducted in eastern Germany since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989,
this essay discusses the history of communist education in East Germany and its relevance for Western education today. Among
the topics addressed are the differences between “propaganda” and “enlightenment” according to communist ideology, the structure
of the East German system of education and extracurriculars, how that system fostered “textbook Reds,” and how its curricular
materials portrayed the USA. 相似文献

Using Max Weber’s theory of legitimacy and transition, this article suggests that the biggest challenge for China’s new leadership
is to transform the Communist Party into an institutionalized ruling party. After analyzing the scenarios of democratization,
legitimation, decay, or repression, resulting from the interactions between public contention and the ruling elite, this article
argues that the CCP has accomplished the transition from a revolutionary to a reformist party but is now somewhere between
claiming to “govern for the people” and “hanging on to power.” To become an institutionalized ruling party, the CCP needs
to curtail official corruption and control its membership growth. There are, however, some serious political and personal
limitations that China’s new leaders will have to overcome.

China’s Harmonious World: Beyond Cultural Interpretations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A culture “specter” is haunting the ongoing discourse regarding China’s declared policy of “peaceful rise” for a “harmonious
world.” While some Western scholars “cherry-pick” “evidence” of China’s aggressiveness from Confucius legacies, the same cultural
heritage is heavily tapped by many Chinese scholars to interpret the current policy of striving for internal and external
harmony. Both seem to ignore, though to different degrees, the historically specific political environment, within which the
cultural elements function and interact with other socio-political variables. China’s current pursuit of harmony is possible
and desirable only at a time when China is able to achieve sustained sociopolitical stability (30 years) in the past 160 years
and after its protracted encounter and experiment with Western liberalism, Marxism and capitalism. Although it has not explicitly
rejected any of these Western ideologies, China has tested the limits of all of them—hence China’s search for its own identity
and policy alternatives at the onset of the new millennium. It is toward a more historical and holistic explanation that this
paper constructs the political space and historical trajectory of China’s search for modernity and for itself in the past
two centuries and into the future.

Market distortions are generally caused by the state or social institutions. This paper discusses the social distortions of
the Chinese market through examining a “Chinese style” labor market-the community-based labor markets. Along with the now
standard argument emphasizing the role of the state, this paper concludes that the “right kind” of societal distortions or
control of the market have been crucial to the phenomenal success of the Chinese marketization and the seemingly puzzling
political and social stability in that country. Besides contending for the general “necessity” of market distortions, this
paper calls for further studies on the significant role of social institutions in contemporary China. 相似文献

A growing literature has sought to address the question of Chinese nationalism, and particularly whether or not its rise over
the last decade could make China more prone to international conflict. Yet these discussions have often not been well grounded
in either theories of nationalism or international relations (IR) theory. This paper will seek to fill this gap by using a
constructivist approach to examine how nationalism is constituted by the interaction of states. By doing so, it will be argued
that Chinese nationalism can best be understood as a reactive response to international events rather than domestic political
manipulation.

This article continues the line of argument and historical interpretation we offered in “The Policy Scientist of Democracy:
The Discipline of Harold D. Lasswell” by way of a response to Ronald Brunner’s “The Policy Scientist of Democracy Revisited.”
Problems regarding Lasswell’s capacious vision of the policy scientist and vagaries surrounding “democracy,” do not diminish
the importance of the questions Lasswell asked and left as his legacy to the discipline of political science. We here supply
further evidence for our historical interpretation of Lasswell and sketch what sort of “policy scientist of democracy” fits
our times and the current state of the discipline of political science. 相似文献

This essay reflects upon the current cultural skirmishes over the parenting practices of Americans, which have pitted “Helicopter
Parents” against “Free-Range Kids”; “Tiger Mothers” against “Panda Dads;” and at-risk communities “Waiting for Superman” against
privileged students in the “Race to Nowhere.” Despite the exaggerated claims of difference in these and other popular representations
of the parenting wars, a common theme of building children’s self-esteem is evident as a cornerstone of contemporary American
parenting practices. Through different means, the relatively privileged parents who write child-rearing memoirs (or confessionals)
pursue a similar end: to build and enhance their children’s self-concept and emotional competence. In particular, professional-class
parents who are anxious about their own prospects for continued success in a risky economy turn toward emotional capital as
a necessary supplement to educational and extra-curricular success to ensure inter-generational transmission of advantage.
The goals of emotional competence and self-esteem replicate the mechanisms of control to which elite parents are subjected
in professional careers and therefore represent an important form of cultural capital in the reproduction of class advantages. 相似文献

Thomas E Borcherding passed away on February 12, 2014, of congestive heart failure. He was 74. He is survived by his wife, Rhoda, and his sons Matthew and Benjamin. He made important, lasting contributions to the discipline of economics, particularly to the fields of public choice and law and economics. While the profession will surely miss his scholarly contributions in the future, we will continue to learn from the insights he has left behind in the academic literature and in our memories. The personal contributions he made to the lives of family members, colleagues, students, and friends will be missed even more acutely. Tom was an important presence in our lives. The absence of his kindness, generosity, keen wit and buoyant personality will be missed by all who knew him. 相似文献
