知识经济时代和人文文化建设

在知识经济时代中进行人文文化建设,需要对三个相关问题有清醒的认识。第一,在一个民族国家关于社会发展的宏大叙事中,虽然科学文化建设比人文文化建设具有“操作上的优先性”,但是,人文文化建设却比科学文化建设具有“逻辑上的优先性”。第二,从现代化建设离不开传统道德资源的支援看,与“依法治国”相辅相成的“以德治国”不仅旨在建设现代道德理念,也要活化传统道德资源。第三,在经济全球化的条件下,我们既要创造数以百亿计的文化产业利润,又要力图将中国文化的价值观、审美观传播到全世界,并以这种方式构筑国家文化安全体系。     

乡村秩序与县乡村体制——兼论农民的合作能力问题

当前农民的原子化状况使村庄很难内生秩序,而使得通过行政嵌入形成秩序成为宿命.强势的地方行政在维持地方秩序的同时又掠夺农民,谋取私利,因此必须通过体制内的县乡民主来制约地方行政.现实可行的途径是将乡镇政府改为县级的派出机构,并通过完善选举和强化县级人大职能来约束具有强势能力的县行政权力及其派出机构乡公所.当前县乡村改制的目标是"强县、弱乡、实村".     

发展中国家对外直接投资新论

对外直接投资作为企业参与国际经营活动的重要方式之一,对企业垄断优势的形成具有重要的影响,而西方传统的以及修正了的对外直接投资理论则忽略了这一点。与发达国家相比,发展中国家开展对外直接投资时,本身并不具有什么垄断优势。但是,对发展中国家而言,企业的优势只是对外直接投资的重要而非充分条件,即不具有比较优势或垄断优势的发展中国家仍可以进行对外直接投资。对外直接投资的过程是企业挖掘和培育优势的过程。对外直接投资和企业优势的培育是正向促进的关系。这就是"优势培育论"。以中国为例,积极发挥投资主体的能动性,培育其优势,需要建立互补式国际战略联盟、组建跨国企业集团以及努力培养一大批学有所长、勇于开拓和精通国际企业经营管理业务的人才。     

关于赃物是否适用善意取得制度的探讨

动产的善意取得制度,是财产所有权制度中的一项重要内容。在我国,没有专门的法律对这一重要制度加以确认,特别是对赃物是否适用善意取得制度,是一个争论比较激烈的问题。结合我国案件情况,参考国外有关的规定和做法,宜对《关于没收和处理赃款财物若干暂行规定》作出适当修改。     

Gender and Homosexuality as a Major Cultural Cleavage

In post‐modern society cultural cleavages are becoming at least as relevant as socio‐economic ones. They can only be properly researched by the survey method, which opens up a whole new area for both micro and macroanalysis. So, first, we pinpoint some of the main problems of research into value orientations. Second, we suggest a new analysis of attitudes towards gender and homosexuality, employing both micro and macro data. One key finding here is that attitudes towards gender and homosexuality are linked at the micro level, which explains some of the saliency of gender and homosexuality as a new emerging cleavage in advanced societies. At the macro level, the main finding is that attitudes towards gender and homosexuality are strongly embedded in cultural or civilisational differences among countries. The evidence suggests therefore that these attitudes do constitute a new cleavage in advanced societies.     

Transitional justice in settled democracies: Northern Ireland and the Basque Country in comparative perspective

This article explores the concept of transitional justice in democratic states dealing with political violence. Although transitional justice was designed for paradigmatic transitions (from war to peace and from dictatorship to democracy), conflicted democracies such as Northern Ireland and the Basque Country could also benefit from this framework which brings a comprehensive human rights approach to the past and promotes the principles of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition. The article compares the transition from conflict in Northern Ireland and the Basque Country. It explores some of the specific features which characterise processes of transitional justice within settled democracies, such as the blurred break with the past, the fragmentation of initiatives aimed at dealing with violence and the mixture of ordinary and transitional justice. As well as contributing to the conceptualisation of the field of transitional justice, the study proposes that the conflict vs. terrorism divide and the clash of narratives associated with it are the key to understanding these types of transitions.     

Lawyers and Hong Kong’s democracy movement: from electoral politics to civil disobedience

Research on Hong Kong lawyers has so far focused on their internal differences and the rise of cause lawyering. Not much has been done on their role in promoting political liberalism. This paper fills a gap by reviewing the history of lawyers’ political activism before and after Hong Kong’s sovereignty shifted from a liberal-colonial to an authoritarian regime in 1997. It argues, first, that Hong Kong’s post-colonial constitutionalized politics and prolonged democratic deficit have given the legal complex—which includes lawyers and also increasingly legal academics—a key role in its pro-democracy movement, and second, critical political junctures have driven activist lawyers to use various means, from electoral politics to civil disobedience, to defend the rule of law and Hong Kong’s tortuous democratization.     

抗日战争与中回国家民族的双重统一

日本侵华战争,给中华民族造成了史无前例的民族灾难,也在前所未有的广度与深度上激发了中华民族的民族仇恨与爱国热情。原本敌对的国共两党、彼此倾轧的国民党内部派系与心存疑忌的少数民族,在民族大义面前消融了内部隔阂,救亡图存的民族意识转化为团结御侮的救国实践。并上升为中华民族整体的行为方式与实践目标,国家与民族在国难面前达到了空前的统一。
