邓小平、江泽民辞职的现实意蕴

邓小平和江泽民的辞职,绝对不能仅仅看作一般的辞职行为。无论是辞职行为本身,还是辞职信的内容,都体现了在改革开放的新时期,作为第二代领导核心的邓小平和作为第三代领导核心的江泽民的博大无私的胸怀,体现了一个新时代领导的高尚品格和高度自觉的党性。邓小平和江泽民的辞职,对于当前反腐倡廉、进行党的建设、保持党的先进性、民主政治建设,树立马克思主义的权力观、进行党风教育,具有表率意义。同时启示我们,从事马克思主义理论研究不能忽视领导和领袖个人行为的研究。     

构建和谐世界视阀下的区域法治研究和建设

区域法治是建构世界法治秩序以及深化依法治国方略中的一种崭新的法治形态。开展区域法治研究和建设,不仅有利于为全面建设小康社会及构建和谐社会提供切实的法治保障,也是为建立和形成“国际区域法治秩序”以及“世界法治秩序”,进而为顺利建设和谐世界所必需。为此就应积极开展国际区域法治研究和建设。     

当代世界新闻业与中国新闻业总体特征分析

论文对当代世界新闻业、中国新闻业的总体特征作了分析,认为当代世界新闻业（包括中国）的一般特征是：资产所有制决定新闻传播的价值取向,市场手段维系媒体的经济命脉,传播技术提升及整合速度越来越快,新闻业与社会整体的互动作用日益增强;而当代中国新闻业的总体个性特征是：新闻资产单一国家所有,新闻媒体在意识形态与产业双重基本属性中定位,在新闻与宣传两种主要功能中展开传播,在政治、经济、文化等多元力量制约中发展运行。     

走向人类社会深处的警察文化

警察文化是警察队伍建设的重要构成部分。它必须突破单一的阶级性,使警察文化的社会性彰显出来。通过国家观探寻警察文化阶级性与警察文化人类社会性之间的张力关系,并从历史观来确立审理警察文化的形上视角,明确走向人类社会深处是警察文化建设的方向选择,而警察主体精神世界的建构则是警察文化建设的突破口。这既是历史观决定的结果,也是文化本性的内在要求,还是社会治安治理的社会本性使然。     

论树立正确的权力观

党员干部要牢固树立人民是国家主人和权力主体的观念,坚持权力和责任的统一,以正确的态度对待个人手中的权力。树立正确的权力观是加强党的执政能力建设的需要,是实践“三个代表”要求的重要保证,是加强党风廉政建设的需要。党员干部树立正确的权力观,要以树立科学的世界观为基础,还要努力提高执政能力和领导水平,切实改进工作作风,加强党性修养,防止权力的腐化。     

暴力和骚扰的劳动法规制 ——国际劳工标准的影响与借鉴

对职场中的暴力和骚扰进行规制,应当明确界定此类行为的表现形式、受保护者范围和受保护的空间范围。国际劳工组织采用了"劳动世界"这一术语对"与工作相关"的暴力和骚扰进行范围界定。在标准劳动关系中的劳动者之外,国际劳工标准将非正规就业形式下的劳动者和特定情形下没有建立就业关系的劳动者均纳入保护范围。与此同时,国际劳工标准将受保护的空间范围从"有形工作场所"扩展到虚拟网络空间。这些内容对于完善我国劳动法对暴力和骚扰的规制具有重要的借鉴意义。为更为周延地保护劳动者权益,我国劳动法应当明确:在工作中发生或因工作引起的暴力和骚扰均应纳入调整范围,其所保护的劳动者不限于建立劳动关系的劳动者,暴力和骚扰发生的地点也不局限在有形的工作场所。在劳动法视阈中,用人单位应当对劳动领域内的暴力和骚扰负责。     

社会主义建设道路的选择和中国特色社会主义

中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜,是当代中国发展进步的旗帜,是全党全国各族人民团结奋斗的旗帜。用历史的眼光、在比较的视野下,深刻理解世界社会主义运动大背景中中国特色社会主义建设道路的选择、发展历程及其鲜明的时代性和世界意义,无疑将有助于我们提高高举中国特色社会主义旗帜的自觉性和责任感,从而在实践中更好地坚持和发展中国特色社会主义。     

World heritage and the local politics of memory: the Miike coal mine and fu no isan

Abstract

This article investigates the complex relations between heritage and memory through an analysis of the UNESCO World Heritage ‘Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution’ and its component Miike coal mine. When discussing this World Heritage Site, scholars and the media have focused on the diplomatic controversy over the history of forced labour between Japan and South Korea, interpreting it as a new example of a dispute over history in East Asia. However, this understanding oversimplifies the relations between heritage and memory. Based on fieldwork research and documentary analysis, this article investigates the diversity and complexity of the collective memory of Miike coal mine from a local perspective. The results show that there is a sharp dissonance between the World Heritage story and some of the ex-miners’ memories, which focus on the negative past, fu no isan. Documentary analysis shows that fu no isan has two different but closely related meanings: negative legacy and negative heritage. Fieldwork research reveals that the various commemorations of fu no isan in the local community, mainly based on ex-miners’ social networks, constitute a form of vernacular memory, independent from the official memory of the World Heritage. Finally, I conclude that heritage can be public memory, rather than just official memory, as long as it is open to plural memories of the past.     

Revolutions: a twenty-first-century perspective

Abstract

We held the ‘Revolutions’ conference in 2017 to commemorate the Russian Revolution and redeem the actual record of revolutions in the Third World for the left. A quarter-century after the demise of the USSR, we found liberal capitalist triumphalism unwarranted. Two of the most important expectations to which it gave rise – that the world had become ‘unipolar’ and that it would enjoy a ‘peace dividend’ – remained unfulfilled. Instead, the world became multipolar and the West, led by the United States, engaged in unprecedented economic and military aggression against countries that contested its power. If this were not enough, social unrest and explosions in the First World as well as the Third underlined the relevance of revolutions. To trace their lineage, we recall capitalism’s intimate relation with revolution. It has needed revolutions to usher it into history and to usher it out. In addition to revolutions against developed capitalism, we also underline how important and necessary revolutions against nascent capitalism in various parts of the world have been. The contributions in this volume explore different parts of this lineage and vivify revolutions for our time.     

The Future of the Chinese Economy: Four Perspectives

ABSTRACT

This article studies the future prospect of the Chinese economy using four different perspectives: neo-classical, Marxian, world-system and climate stabilisation. While the neo-classical perspective suggests that China can maintain a relatively decent pace of economic growth for decades to come, the Marxian analysis finds that the Chinese economy will confront a major crisis in the coming years due to internal contradictions of capitalist accumulation. The world-system analysis suggests that there has been a “ceiling of development” that historically has limited the scope of development for the great majority of the world population and China will hit this “ceiling of development” within about a decade. Moreover, if China were to fulfil its climate stabilisation obligations, it may prove to be impossible for the current system to maintain economic and political stability.
