医疗改革重在解决“贵”和“难”

去年,我们先后走访了东、中、西九个省市,对看病难、看病贵的问题进行了考察与调研.所闻各方面的情况和意见,使我们切实感受到医疗问题,真正是百姓头上的一座"大山".由于看病"难"和"贵",不少人有病不敢进医院."小病拖、大病挨,要死才往医院抬"的现象比较普遍.就是在天津这样的大城市里,我们也遇到一位曾任厂长和工会主席的老共产党员,床下藏着一瓶滴滴畏.他说:"怕的是医疗费过高,不能把沉重的负担压给下一代!"为什么改革开放已经使GDP翻了三番的今天,看病问题却使得近90%的百姓为之却步和担忧,感到无奈和艰难?     

再论八大前后毛泽东对我国社会主要矛盾的思考——从王光美对一则有关八大史实的回忆谈起

本文以王光美对一则有关八大史实的回忆作为立足点,重新探讨了八大前后毛泽东对我国社会主要矛盾的认识脉络,认为毛泽东自始就不同意八大政治决议关于我国社会主要矛盾的观点,但由于理论和历史条件的限制,他不可能在八大政治决议通过前重新把阶级斗争确立为我国社会的主要矛盾.八大结束后,随着国际、国内形势的发展,毛泽东逐步在理论上提出"政治和思想战线上的社会主义革命"和"修正主义比教条主义更有害"的观点,经过1957年整风反右的实践,最终在八届三中全会上公开改变了八大关于我国社会主要矛盾的论断.这标志着20世纪50年代中期毛泽东提出的"以苏为鉴",开始向斯大林的社会主义模式复归.

试论台湾学运的历史沿革与演变特点

台湾3月份爆发的“太阳花学运”首度攻占“立法院”、“行政院”,创造了台湾“学运”新的“历史”。数十年间,台湾“学运”几经迭兴,深刻影响台湾社会的演进。从“学运”发生的时代背景与政治环境、“学运”的组织形式、动员与传播媒介、参与者的成分、“学运”与政党之间的关系、“学运”规模和产生的影响等7方面进行分析,可以发现台湾“学运”从缺乏主体性到获得自觉,力量在不断壮大,出现了一些新的特点,而其对于两岸关系的影响也在不断扩大。研究台湾“学运”有助于我们了解台湾社情民意及可能出现的种种挑战．更好她推动两崖关系和平发展．     

The public costs of private blessings: Fundamentals of the economic role of government

The main thrust of this overview is to demonstrate how the shift of government authority over time—from a defense of the realm against foreign intruders to an adjudication of conflicting citizen claims—has created a new set of problems and challenges for the modern state in search of development. It is argued that the power of the state expands as traditional forms of economic rivalries and class claims weaken, and as recourse to legal decision-making becomes widely accepted by all social and economic sectors. Government has proven better able to satisfy existing claims than at initiating new forms of social relations. Experiences in a variety of economic structures thus argue for a continued interplay of public and private, federal and personal claims.

阶级民主和程序民主——考茨基和列宁政制之争再思考

1918年考茨基和列宁关于民主问题的争论,对后来社会主义的发展,无论在观念上,还是历史上,都产生了极其重要的影响。考茨基认为,列宁和布尔什维克背叛民主,而列宁则认为考茨基歪曲民主的实质。在考茨基和列宁争论的背后,隐含着一个极其重要的问题,即社会主义民主是阶级民主和程序民主的有机统一。认识这一点,对于社会主义民主思想史的研究和当代中国民主政治的发展具有重要的价值。     

Burundi: des identités ethnico-politiques forgées dans la violence

Taking the recent political situation as background, the author examines the rhetoric of political propaganda in Burundi. By considering several texts, both written (newspaper articles, politicians’ statements, political leaflets) and oral (speeches and radio declarations), of which long excerpts are reproduced, the author is able to demonstrate that all parties call for violence in Burundi, regardless of political side. The Other, whoever he may be, is systematically denied the right to exist; meanwhile, the exercise of violence appears as a means of delimiting the space belonging to each group. This in turn legitimates and generalizes daily use of violence.     

Le mythe de Cham dans quelques livrets scolaires du Congo belge

The author quotes and briefly analyses a few exerpts taken from textbooks written and printed by Christain missionaries for the Congo primary schools. The Bible story of Cham cursed by his father, told in those texts from which Congolese children learned to read in the first half of the 20th century, stressed the white man’s superiority as coming from God.
