The new economics of the university: a knowledge governance approach

University is becoming a cornerstone of the new emerging mode of governance of the generation and dissemination of knowledge as it reveals remarkable institutional advantages both in providing a solution to the knowledge trade-off and in reducing agency costs. The typical academic labor relationship emerges as an appropriate institutional device to handle the principal-agent problems when creative talents are required. The unique quasi-hierarchical setup of the academic system creates a supply of certified skills that are ready to operate on a professional basis. Such academic consultants can be paid on an ex-post per job basis matching only their variable costs. This supply leads to the creation of a specific market for research services where the demand is provided by the knowledge outsourcing of corporations. For this system to work effectively the non-exclusivity of intellectual property rights on the results of the research performed under contract is necessary. Non-exclusivity in academic employment relations should parallel non-exclusivity in knowledge ownership.

Between market forces and knowledge based motives: the governance of defence innovation in the UK

The purpose of this contribution is to examine the evolutionary transformations that have characterised the UK defence innovation system since the mid 1980s. It focuses on the central and challenging issue faced by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in implementing effective governance mechanisms emerging from the continuous trade-off between short-term market driven measures motivated by efficiency arguments, and more long term and relational considerations in terms of knowledge economics. Furthermore, in terms of technology transfer, this evolution has been accompanied by a gradual shift from an initial logic of spin-off to society expected from government driven military projects, to a logic of spin-in where the main concern of the military sector is to broaden its industrial and R&D base.

中国行政法学60年

中国古代有发达的行政法规范,但无现代意义的行政法,更无行政法学。现代意义上的行政法学源于一个世纪前对日本法学的继受,1949年新中国建立后,废除旧六法,行政法学一时沉寂。20世纪50年代一度改弦更张学习苏维埃法,但不久行政法学教育和研究陷于全面停顿,30年前在改革开放的背景下得以恢复并迅猛发展。行政法学自身枯荣与国家命运休戚相关,行政法学的历程折射了时代的变迁。

西方法学理论的“中国表达”——从1980年代以后的“西方评介”看

1 98 0年代以后 ,作为西方法学理论的“中国表达”的一种重要方式 ,“西方思想评介”涉及了复杂的西方法学理论的“建构”、“想像”等问题。“建构”、“想像”中所包含的诸如“学术推进的目标缺席”、“知识评介者的学术权力支配”、“权威导引的单面作用”等又是应予细致剖解的学术机制。更为重要的问题也许在于在理解西方法学理论的过程中的背景知识的差异。通过对这些学术机制和背景知识的差异的理解 ,我们也许可以发现 ,为了实现西方法学理论的“真正中国进入” ,从而推进中国法学研究 ,首先实现中国法学背景知识的变化涌动才是一个关键。     

从问题意识到模式化的理论生产——简论改进当代马克思主义哲学研究的路径

对问题意识的反思代表着理论生产的自觉。在当前马克思主义哲学研究中,马克思主义本身的对象化、借由学科史评估的方法论建设以及独立的本土实证研究等已经成为引领这一学科发展的突出问题。在这些问题支持下,通过建设处理异质素材的研究模式,形成科学对话平台,已经成为这一学科快速发展的基本要求和合理路径。
