China Also Has a Dream to Pursue

THE world has entered the era of the knowledge economy and, as the key strategic resource for national development, talent is playing an increasingly vital role. For example, today, the use of computers to create wealth and value signals a major change in mankind’s mode of working. Wealth and value were first created from the soil, then in factories, later in banks and now via the Internet and computers. This marks significant human progress.     

恶意透支型信用卡诈骗司法认定中若干疑难问题探析

最高人民法院、最高人民检察院联合发布的《关于办理妨害信用卡管理刑事案件具体应用法律若干问题的解释》对恶意透支作出了进一步规定,并确定了"经发卡银行两次催收后超过三个月仍不归还"的限制条件。但在司法实践中,对于如何理解经发卡银行两次催收后超过三个月仍不归还、两次催收的认定、三个月的宽限期计算等问题仍存在争议,本文试对以上几个问题进行探讨。

东亚军事同盟与区域合作之关系——一种机制视角的分析

军事同盟是东亚区域合作构建迟缓的症结所在。但共存一域的两种机制——军事同盟和东亚区域合作,其各自的地缘政治特征存在冲突。军事同盟的地缘政治逻辑强调以邻为壑,而区域合作的地缘政治逻辑强调以邻为伴;东亚军事同盟具有双边-非对称性结构特征,强调同盟内部观念的同一性及同盟与他者的差异性,而区域合作是一种多边结构的构建,强调观念的包容性。双边同盟很难汇聚多边利益,而双边-非对称性的同盟结构,使次级同盟成员处于绝对劣势,在增强其对主导盟国的依赖度的同时也减少了其政策选择度。军事同盟与区域合作构建均具有谋求利益与安全的功能。但军事同盟强调现实的、短暂的安全利益,以军事合作为特征。区域合作则兼顾现实和未来的中长期利益,以全面合作为特征。军事同盟提供的安全产品的受众是参与同盟的国家,区域合作提供的安全产品的受众是本区域的全体成员。     

‘Bridging the differences’: political communication experts in Germany

A process of modernisation and professionalisation has been affecting the political communication culture in Germany. The emergence and rise of the so-called ‘spin doctors’ particularly symbolises this trend. But how do the numerous political communication experts in Germany bridge the differences between the diverging objectives of the political and media realms? By what means do they link political issues and images to anticipated media logics? And how successful are their efforts in agenda- and image-building? To answer these questions, first, a contextual framework is provided identifying political communication experts as dually conditioned linking pins. Second, a hermeneutic content analysis of 63 interviews with high-ranked German ‘spin doctors’ gives some empirical evidence of the practical relevance of widely discussed communicative strategies. The longitudinal perspective provides insights into an enormous and expanding set of communicative strategies. Here, the cultivation of interpersonal networks is most promising, although it is a rather shaky tool of modern political communication in Germany. Overall, the new myth of the ‘powerful spin doctor’ has to be modified since their ‘success’ is contingent on individual variables.

At work in the temple of science: theory-building in the university

This paper develops a metaphor that shows academia as a temple of science where acolytes and priests devote themselves to building and developing an arcane lore that supports their faith. Though a somewhat strained metaphor, its heuristic value will become clearer when illustrated by lessons drawn from the sociology of knowledge. Through these lessons, I will attempt to demonstrate that the university setting has inexorably influenced the theories that have developed there, particularly in contributing to the perception of a gap between theory and practice that an applied, problem-solving field such as public administration can ill afford.
