《1844年经济学哲学手稿》逻辑主线新探

"异化主线论"是学术界对《手稿》逻辑主线的流行定位,受此影响,国内学术界还有一改良性提法,即认为《手稿》中存在"人本学异化劳动逻辑"和"客观唯物主义逻辑"两种相互矛盾、截然对立的主线。本文通过对《手稿》文本的解读,批判了以上两种观点,指出《手稿》中贯穿的一条逻辑主线是"新唯物主义实践观"。异化劳动和对象化活动是实践观的两个层面,二者是特殊与一般的关系;可以用一般的实践观说明异化劳动和对象化活动。     

Food in China： From Getting Enough to Eating Right

WHEN the People＇s Republic of China was founded in 1949, the US Secretary of State Dean Acheson commented that Chinese dynasties had all come to grief over their failure to solve the food problem, and the Communist regime would be no different. According to John Leighton Stuart,before 1949, 3-7 million Chinese people died of hunger each year. Providing enough food for 550 million people was the key question faced by new China.     

WTO贸易政策评审机制: 作用证明价值,挑战尚待回应

WTO贸易政策评审机制在增强各成员方贸易政策的透明度,改善国际贸易环境,减少贸易纠纷等方面发挥了重要的作用。这一机制也面临着一系列挑战,包括成员方数量增加对评审周期的冲击,如何保证发展中国家的利益;区域和双边安排对贸易政策评审机制的冲击,如何加强贸易政策评审,多边谈判和争端解决三大机制的联系和协作等。完善机制的建议包括改变评审周期,对小国进行集体评审,增加评审的人力资源,帮助发展中国家进行能力建设,缩减秘书处报告等。这种评析对我国参与贸易政策评审会有所裨益。     

Smoke in the Looking Glass: Effects of Discordance Between Self- and Peer Rated Crowd Affiliation on Adolescent Anxiety, Depression and Self-feelings

Peer crowds serve as an identity marker for adolescents, indicating their image and status among peers; but adolescents do not always endorse peer appraisals of crowd affiliation. We report on two studies—one with 924 adolescents in grades 7–12 and a second with a more diverse population of 2,728 students in grades 9–11, followed for 2 years—that examined how congruence between peer and self-appraisals of crowd affiliation relate to self-esteem and internalizing symptoms. Analyses indicate that high-status crowd members may suffer and low-status crowd members benefit by denying their peer crowd affiliation, but effects are modest in size and not entirely consistent across the two studies. Findings underscore the value of symbolic interactionist principles concerning reflected appraisal processes in understanding how peer crowd affiliation affects adolescent self-image.

Adolescent autonomy,parent-adolescent conflict,and parental well-being

The present study examines whether parents' reports of well-being are related to the level of parent-adolescent conflict in the family and their youngsters' level of emotional autonomy. The sample is composed of 129 intact families with a first-born child between the ages of 10 and 15. Measures included parents' reports of midlife identity concerns, self-esteem, life satisfaction, psychological symptoms, and parent-adolescent conflict, as well as youngsters' reports of emotional autonomy vis-à-vis parents. Findings indicate that (1) parents' experience of midlife identity concerns is positively related to the level of emotional autonomy reported by same-sex children; (2) mothers', but not fathers', well-being is negatively related to the intensity of parent-adolescent conflict; and (3) socioeconomic status moderates the relation between parental well-being and parent-adolescent relations. These results are discussed in terms of psychoanalytic and parental stress perspectives on parental well-being during the adolescent years.The work described herein has been conducted during the second author's tenure as a Faculty Scholar under the William T.

Early work experience: A partial antidote for adolescent egocentrism

One of the most important lessons a young person may learn from working is how to interact effectively with others. This potential outcome of work experience has received virtually no attention from proponents of the early integration of adolescents into the workplace. In this paper we suggest that working may contribute to the development of more advanced social understanding (i.e., social sensitivity, social insight, and effective social communication and manipulation) by requiring youngsters to (a) shift back and forth between diverse roles and (b) interact frequently with strangers. Illustrative material is presented from interviews with 100 working adolescents and their parents.This study is part of a large-scale investigation of the costs and benefits of part-time employment during the high school years.

论我国民族地区县级政府职能配置

县级政府职能是国家职能的直接投射和缩影 ,是实现国家职能的现实基础。我国民族地区县级政府职能配置要充分考虑民族因素、贫困因素和边疆因素。在民族地区的县域经济、社会发展中 ,政府职能和市场功能之间不仅是一种替代关系 ,而且是一种互补的关系 ,只有合理地确定各自的行为边界 ,充分发挥其功能 ,才能促进两者的健康持续发展。
