论中国科举制度对古代社会的积极意义

中国古代科举制度是中国古代社会的一大制度创举,它有效地摆脱了以血统和出身作为选官标准的人才选拔制度所带来的危害,使人才选拔制度走上了公平、标准化的发展之路。中国古代科举制度的产生顺应了特定时代的发展需要。虽然它在中国封建社会晚期弊端丛生,但是其对于中国古代社会所产生的积极意义是不容忽视的。从国家、社会和个人三个层面,较客观地论述中国古代科举制度在中国古代历史上所产生的积极意义,从而为中国古代科举制度正名。     

The Reform of the Local Administration in Spain in Terms of Population

Spanish Local Corporations are playing an increasingly important role in the provision of public services without reducing their function of consolidation and structuring of the current sociopolitical system. This reality implies an increase in their need of financial funds without new compensation resources. Also, there is a certain tendency to loose population in many counties along with a greater organic and territorial dispersion that accelerates their financial weakening. This makes necessary to find management alternatives ensuring the appropriate provision of local public services and thus the Local Corporation reform becomes an alternative. In this context, the present paper approaches the analysis and the results based upon a territorial balance criterion on the population and its distribution, aiming ultimately to design an indicator able to measure the need of the Spanish local government structure according to its population and the size of its municipalities. This indicator might measure the regional impact to any variation both in the distribution of its population and in the number of municipalities.
