Why PAR?

Is the Public Administration Review still necessary? Some think that PAR, which debuted in 1940 as America's first and only generalist scholarly public administration journal, belongs to a bygone era of two‐cent postage stamps—a time of coal furnaces, steam radiators, and wood‐burning stoves, when language was crafted longhand or by manual typewriter; when a slide rule calculated most math problems; when a long‐distance telephone call was rare and expensive; when the entire Army, Navy, and State departments were housed within a single building in Washington, DC, the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House; when President Franklin D. Roosevelt communicated to Americans through fireside chats; and when many in the United States still worried about keeping their jobs in the aftermath of the Great Depression, fiercely favoring isolationism over foreign entanglements and strict racial segregation throughout the South.     

马克思主义中国化:"是什么"与"不是什么"

推进马克思主义中国化的理论创新,必须弄清马克思主义中国化"是什么"与"不是什么"的问题.作为马克思主义中国化之对象的"马克思主义"是"马克思列宁主义",而不是仅指"马克思的马克思主义"或"马克思恩格斯创立的马克思主义".马克思主义中国化,是"马克思主义的中国化"与"中国化的马克思主义"的统一,是不同于马克思主义"西方化"的马克思主义"中国化"、"民族化",是马克思主义的"大众化"、"通俗化",而不是"精英化"、"学术化",是马克思主义的"具体化",而不是"教条化",是马克思主义的"科学化"、"整体化",而不是"图谱化"、"肢解化".
