市场经济条件下人才运行机制的研究

市场经济体制的逐步建立,对人才的培养、选拔和使用提出了全新的要求。适应社会的发展,树立科学的人才观,是构建市场经济条件下人才运行机制的理论前提。人才的优化配置、教育培养、选拔任用、考核评价、激励机制等是构建全新人才运行机制的主要内容。     

经济全球化条件下的人力资本国际配置初探

人力资本国际配置是经济全球化的内在要求。然而,目前人力资本国际配置总体趋势是从发展中国家向发达国家的单向流动,这对世界经济的持续、均衡发展产生负面影响。因此,应从打破国际经济旧秩序、弥补“数字鸿沟”、加强合作管理等方面推动人力资本国际配置进程。     

试论市场经济对人文精神各要素的作用关系

市场经济对人文精神及其人的发展,一方面具有积极的推动作用,即激发人们的主动性、积极性和创造性,扩大了人与人之间的交往和合作关系;另一方面又具有消极的影响和作用,即人的物化存在使人没有真正的独立性,人的活动的片面化导致人的能力发展的片面化。市场经济对由科学、道德、自由、平等、正义、终极关怀等所构成的现代人文精神要素的不同作用关系,决定了它们在市场经济中的不同命运。它使科技和教育的发展趋于功利化、道德私利化,使自由、平等与公正失衡,并导致终极关怀的缺失。     

The violence work of transnational gangs in Central America

Abstract

According to international relations scholars, an important change taking place in the post-Cold War context concerns the lethality of non-state armed groups (NSAGs). Underlying this observation is the conventional assumption that non-state violence is intrinsically illegitimate. This article shifts the analysis of violence away from the terrain of legitimacy, which tends to moralise the difference between state and non-state forces, and towards the terrain of work, where their violence features as part and not separate from a shared political economy. I propose the notion of violence work as a resourceful analytic into the dialectics of everyday violence and the complex processes of value production in social life. Against the background of the extreme cruelty attributed to transnational gangs in Central America, I argue that their violence work is expressive of prevailing modes of accumulating wealth in the region. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico, I show how gang violence work animates a system of economic cooperation that engages a wide array of subjects who traverse state/non-state and legal/illegal divides.     

Interrogating the Political Economy of Age

This article considers the argument by Tim Vlandas, in this issue, that an ageing electorate may undermine democracies’ ability to make the right economic choices. Vlandas suggests that the emergence of gerontocratic politics may give rise to ‘gerontonomia’: an economy run for the old, at the expense of younger generations and of future prosperity. However, evidence from the UK suggests a more mixed picture. Age-based voting patterns have been consequential around single issues, not least the 2016 Brexit referendum. However, voters’ interests in broad economic policy models are not easily reducible to age dynamics, and intergenerational politics are filtered through a set of normative and affective considerations beyond straightforward self-interest. Moreover, since the rational interests of different age groups do not speak for themselves, cueing by political elites is potentially significant and may be contributing to older voters’ relative tolerance of a poor economic record.     

The politics of Uber: Infrastructural power in the United States and Europe

Platform firms have been depicted as having structural and instrumental power and being able to prevail in regulatory battles. This article, in contrast, documents how they have often adapted to regulations and provide different services across locales. I show that platform firms have a specific type of power, infrastructural power, that stems from their position as mediators across a variety of actors. This power, I argue, is shaped by pre-existing regulations and the firms' strategic response, that I call “contentious compliance”: a double movement of adapting to existing regulations, while continuing to challenge them. I apply this framework to the expansion and regulation of Uber in New York City (US), Madrid (Spain), and Berlin (Germany).     

辽宁省"北黄海经济带"开放开发与中朝边境旅游经济发展

长期以来,朝鲜半岛形势发展一波三折,严重影响地缘经济发展。辽宁省中朝边境旅游项目作为开展适合中朝边境地区特点的经济发展模式探索,业已成为优质品牌。随着"辽宁沿海经济带规划战略"上升为国家级战略,辽宁省适时提出"‘北黄海经济带’开放开发规划"。此举提升了边境地区开展经济合作的平台,拓宽了边境旅游经济向"转型升级"、"转型增效"方向发展空间,有利于造民福祉。     

新时期朝鲜经济发展战略调整

2009年末朝鲜突然实施的货币更换和禁止外币流通措施以失败告终,虽然没有达到抑制通货膨胀、扭转汇率双重结构、整顿经济管理秩序混乱的目的,却加快了朝鲜扩大对外经济合作的步伐,明确显示出朝鲜利用外部力量促进经济发展的战略调整轨迹。朝鲜将经济重心由重工业向农业和轻工业转变,把提高人民生活水平作为经济政策的核心目标。但是,朝鲜要正确处理计划经济与市场经济、自力更生与有限的对外开放、重工业与农业和轻工业之间的关系,才能从根本上解决其经济难题,实现经济稳定增长。     

循环经济的理论思想渊源与实践——以美、日、德、中为例

循环经济理论思想源远流长。尽管在传统的经济发展模式中,人们在生产中不考虑资源环境方面的问题,但理论上的认识早就有之,这些理论是当今推行循环经济和进一步研究循环经济理论的重要依据。目前,发展循环经济已成为世界各国的共识,美、日、德率先行动,取得了宝贵经验。进入21世纪,中国也开始走循环经济发展之路,近年来,中国在发展循环经济方面正在加大力度,并取得了可喜的成果。集中各国经验,探索崭新的循环经济发展之路,是实现人与自然和谐发展的重要保证。     

"Who Are You Wearing?" Using the Red Carpet Question Pedagogically

This paper presents an active learning module design and implementation strategy for use in an undergraduate course on globalization, world politics, international political economy, or international relations. Students are first asked to conduct research on their wardrobe and its origins by country, allowing for classroom discussion of research methods and designs. Results are submitted, along with a short response essay. This is evaluated in conjunction with a case-study short reading and shared discussion, followed by a short video/multimedia presentation on free trade and labor issues. Drawing on literature on active learning, I argue that this presents a more cohesive approach for engaging students in the material on a substantive level, while at the same time allowing them to actively appreciate and understand such diverse concepts as commodity chains, free trade zones, fair trade versus free trade, gendered divisions of labor, consumer responsibility, research methodologies, and macroeconomic shifts in employment across nations. This also serves as a rubric for instructors to use in creating their own topical "modules." Preliminary data and classroom results are discussed, as are additional strategies for lesson development.
