以工补农过于行政化的经济非理性分析

以工补农对促进农业发展起了重要作用,但行政化色彩越来越浓厚,浪费和低效现象随之而生。以工补农要尽量避免过于行政化,发挥市场配置资源要素和城乡平等交换劳动产品的作用。工农、城乡之间本质上是良性互动关系,不宜搞谁轻谁重、保谁弃谁的"零和"策略,应该选择双赢或多赢策略。以工补农不能完全避免行政干预,但要提高政府干预的科学性。     

Rethinking cross-border Euregionalism as self-organising system

Studies of cross-border regions in the European Union have struggled conceptually with an apparent ambiguity of Euregionalism: namely that cross-border regions seem to be the manifestations of reterritorialising state governance on the one hand, but have clearly failed to substantially challenge the Westphalian state territorial system on the other. The aim of the present paper is to develop a conceptual framework that helps us understand this paradoxical nature of cross-border regions. To this end, we draw on the systems theory of Niklas Luhmann and the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce, and propose to regard Euregionalism (and regionalisms more generally) as a self-organising system. Self-organisation entails the process in which self-referential communication, rather than a set of actors, employs spatial concepts, such as the region, to enable system-specific entanglements with physical space, either short-lived or enduring, and possibly – but not necessarily – involving governance.     

“Because I am who I am and my mother is Scottish”: neoliberal planning and entrepreneurial instincts at Trump International Golf Links Scotland

Focusing on the establishment of the first European Trump Golf development – on the Menie Estate along the Scottish North Sea coast – the paper contends that neoliberal planning, understood as state interventions to allow individual entrepreneurs to realise their visions, reshapes both planning practice and the socio-ecologies governed by planning in problematic ways. Neoliberal mindsets here cause politicians to depart from previously established practices. The paper analyses how governance becomes tied up in questions of entrepreneurial freedom and with beliefs in the capacity of an individual entrepreneur to steer the fate of the region.

非劳动收入能缓解中国的劳动力供给紧张吗？

标准劳动供给理论认为非劳动收入的增加会减少劳动供给,但是国内外大量的实证研究对此存在较多争议。为了应对上述争议,本研究对标准理论进行适当延展,通过考察非劳动收入对边际劳动供给的作用后发现,非劳动收入虽然具有减少劳动时间的直接作用,但是能通过强化工资率对劳动供给的替代效应而间接增加劳动时间供给,两者的净效应决定了非劳动收入对劳动供给的真实作用。非劳动收入对劳动供给存在正向作用的原因在于：非劳动收入会挤占一部分享受性闲暇时间而提高闲暇的价格,从而强化人们减少闲暇时间、增加劳动供给的“替代效应”。利用“中国综合社会调查”全国微观数据库提供的数据,本研究证实了上述观点。非劳动收入对劳动供给的正向作用为中国应对当前的劳动供给短缺提供了政策新抓手：政府可以在不触及工资制度和假日制度等刚性制度的前提下,通过调控非劳动收入的不同种类和形式来激活劳动供给。     

Executive action to combat the rise of drug-resistant bacteria: is agricultural antibiotic use sufficiently addressed?

On September 18, 2014, President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order titled Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria. The order demands a ‘strategic, coordinated, and sustained effort’ to detect, prevent, and control antibiotic resistance. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), antibiotic-resistant infections are a rising health concern that result in at least two million illnesses and 23,000 deaths each year in the United States. The Executive Order and accompanying documents have been criticized for taking a weak stance against the use of antibiotics in agriculture; however, they include goals to promote antibiotic stewardship on farms, better surveillance of antibiotic use, and the development of alternatives to antibiotics. The criticisms are also unwarranted based on the current state of scientific evidence; nevertheless, there remain compelling reasons to limit the use of antibiotics in agriculture, and if fully implemented, the executive action is set to achieve this goal. This paper will explore why the criticisms are unwarranted, present the conflicting evidence on whether antibiotic use in farm animals poses a significant health threat to humans, offer other reasons to limit the use of antibiotics in livestock, and suggest ways that the government can maximize the efficacy of the proposed actions.     

农村人口变迁对农业家庭经营的影响与法律对策

作为农村社会变迁的重要组成部分,农村人口变迁主要包括人口数量、结构、质量、心理素质以及思想观念等方面的变化。在新的历史时期,我国农村人口的变迁呈现出独特的趋势。农村人口各个方面的变迁会对农业家庭经营产生重要而又深远的影响,因此,必须重视农村人口变迁的趋势及其影响,着力调整计划生育、农村就业以及农村公共产品供给等方面的法律制度,确保我国农业家庭经营获得健康发展。
