侨批档案文献的价值

侨批,仅福建、广东、海南3省特有,是海外华侨通过民间渠道或金融机构,主要寄给中国国内侨眷的书信或简单附言的汇款凭证。侨批是研究华侨史、中国近现代金融史、侨乡民间传统文化等方面的珍贵档案文献。     

Renminbi appreciation and Global Value Chains in China: exploring the linkages

China has experienced a rapid integration into Global Value Chains and a decade long appreciation of its exchange rate. However, these trends have been analysed largely in isolation from each other. In this paper, we explore the linkages between the two based on interviews with a sample of firms in Jiangsu Province. We show (1) how the distribution of the costs and benefits of exchange rate appreciation depends on the power hierarchies between firms in GVCs; (2) how exchange rate changes are important drivers of upgrading and even downgrading in GVCs; and (3) that the firm heterogeneity evident in GVCs provides additional insights into the politics of exchange rate determination in China.     

三种服务型政府观比较

当下中国学界与政界主要存在着三种服务型政府观,即基于政府价值理念的内涵定位和适应后工业社会治理要求的服务型政府观;基于政府价值理念的内涵定位和主要借鉴工业社会治理经验的服务型政府观;基于政府职能结构的内涵定位和主要借鉴工业社会治理经验的服务型政府观。它们在服务型政府的本质内涵、主要特征、兴起动因、理论基础等方面的阐释与定位都不尽相同。就目前所产生的实际效果而言,第一种服务型政府观理论目标相当宏大高远,但实践响应比较困难;第二种服务型政府观理论契合学界主流观点,但实践响应比较一般;第三种服务型政府观理论契合政界近期工作,且实践响应也较明显。梳理和比较这些不同的服务型政府观应当是推进和深化服务型政府研究的必要环节和重要任务。     

论民法基本原则生态化的价值理念与技术路径

民法基本原则的生态化是民法生态化的重要内容。民法基本原则应否生态化涉及民法价值理念问题之认识,而民法基本原则能否生态化涉及民法解释技术探讨问题。民法基本原则的生态化应包括平等原则、自愿原则、公平原则、诚实信用原则、公序良俗原则以及权利不得滥用原则的生态化。绿色环保原则的价值理念与基本精神可以分化到民法原有基本原则中,这样既能保持民法基本原则形式方面的稳定性,也能赋予民法基本原则内容上的生态环境保护气质。归纳起来,分散式的、适度性的生态化意义解释性拓展是民法基本原则生态化的价值理念的最佳表达,司法层面的生态化意义解释性拓展则是民法基本原则生态化的技术路径的最佳概括。     

民族传统体育运动会价值定位评析

不断扩大的举办规模和日益激烈的奖牌之争,并没能让民运会促成民族传统体育事业的繁荣和人们体育需求的满足,更没能为一个多民族共同体提供持续奋斗的精神价值。实际上民运会应当扮演各民族文化相互交流的平台,而非竞争的战场。根据这个理念,民运会的规模应当控制在承办城市的可承受范围之内,项目坚持以表演类为主,淡化金牌意识和锦标意识,注重参与和交流;运动员定位于日常生活中真正参与民族传统体育活动的人,而非由专业运动员组成的精英团体;观众也应当主要由承办方的普通民众组成。     

比较与反思:社会认同价值指向的中西视境

社会认同价值指向直接规约着社会整体的凝聚与集体意义的归属。管窥中西社会认同价值指向,不难发现,中国社会认同价值指向表征的是忠孝推演下的纵向价值指向、家国同构下的单向价值指向与威权政治下的身份价值指向。西方社会认同价值指向表征的是"人—人"关系下的横向价值指向、"上—下"对接下的双向价值指向与"法—情"结合下的契约价值指向。中西视境的当代省思表明,当代中国社会认同价值指向要从纵向依附转向横向平等、单向基点转向双向责任、身份观念转向契约逻辑。     

受刑人权利的法律定位

对受刑人权利保护必须对受刑人权利进行准确的法律定位,在受刑人权利的价值基础上,正当性的权利本质是受刑人权利法律定位的逻辑起点;在受刑人权利的逻辑结构上,可以将受刑人权利分为受刑人人权、受刑人公民权和受刑人基于矫正产生的特殊权利;在法律关系的考量上,将受刑人权利和刑罚执行权力作为刑事法律关系的核心范畴,而不是将受刑人的权利与义务作为刑事法律关系的核心范畴;在刑事法律关系的运作中,以受刑人权利为本位,而不以受刑人管理为本位,以实现对刑罚执行权力的制约和对受刑人权利的保护。     

价值共创:公共服务合作生产的新趋势

合作生产是一种重要的公共服务生产模式,在提高公共部门回应性和推动公共服务创新方面发挥了重要作用。面对解决"棘手问题"的挑战,复杂的外部治理环境催生了对公共行政价值问题的反思,合作生产不仅要关注行政效率的提升,也要重视以公民为中心的多元价值创造。在此情境下,公共服务合作生产向价值共创转变。本文梳理了不同时期的公共行政理论对合作生产的影响,对合作生产概念的演变与发展进行了探讨,阐释了从合作生产发展为价值共创的内在逻辑。在此基础上,本文分析了理解价值共创的三种理论路径,并结合我国公共服务发展的现实背景,讨论了公共服务价值共创的启示。     

Containing Environmentalism: Risk,Rationality, and Value in the Wake of the Exxon Valdez

This article revisits regulatory debates about environmental valuation following the Exxon Valdez oil spill to argue that the spill can be seen as a constitutive moment in the rise of neoliberalism. I show that rationalizing environmental values was not simply about applying market rationality to the natural world, but entailed reexamining the nature of that rationality itself and its relevance to social behavior. I then trace the reverberations of these debates beyond the realm of environmental policy, highlighting an underappreciated legacy of the Valdez: the first credit default swap, executed in response to an unprecedented punitive fine leveled against Exxon. Illuminating the linked histories of environmental valuation, corporate environmentalism, and financialization through that event, I argue that environmental valuation is a political problem through which neoliberal strategies for the governance of life (both human and nonhuman) have been forged.     

Value,Nature, and Labor: A Defense of Marx

In this theoretical intervention, I argue that Karl Marx’s theory of value remains a powerful way to understand nature–society relations under capitalism. I suggest environmentalist critiques often misunderstand Marx’s value theory as a theory that “values” workers over nature. His critical theory is better understood as an explanation of how capitalist value exploits both workers and the environment. My defense of Marxian value theory is articulated through five “theses.” I provide empirical illustration based on recent research into the nitrogen fertilizer industry. (1) Value theory does not refer to all values. (2) Marx’s contention that nature does not contribute to value helps us explain its degradation under capitalism. (3) Marx’s value theory rooted in production allows for a critique of environmental economic valuation schemes (e.g. payments for ecosystem services) which are based on neoclassical value theories rooted in consumption/exchange. (4) Value is abstract social labor, but that means it also abstracts from nature. (5) Capital does value certain parts of nature and that matters. I conclude by advocating a “value theory of nature” in the spirit of Diane Elson’s powerful articulation of Marx’s “value theory of labor.”
