科学发展观与人的全面发展

科学发展观作为一种新的发展模式,突出了以人为本的价值取向,但是,当前人的全面发展何以可能？它与科学发展观有什么关系？实现人的全面发展在贯彻落实科学发展观的历史条件下的现实目标是什么？促进人的全面发展作为马克思主义终极目标,实现人的全面发展,是当前社会主义现代化建设中重大的理论和实践课题。

渔村产业转型后渔民发展困境与反思——以平潭县东美村、山边村为例

九十年代以来平潭很多渔村陆续进行了产业转型,渔民职业构成也发生很大变化。2008年渔民普遍投资的海洋运输业遭受金融危机重创,如今很多渔民、渔村面临诸多发展困境。渔民产业转型失利反映了渔民自身投资的盲目性、传统社会资本的弊端以及政府相关政策和管理的缺位等。解决渔民、渔村目前面临的困境需要政府政策的大力支持,整合旅游资源,走休闲渔业道路,积极培育民间渔业行会组织,并通过渔业权制度的完善来保障渔民的利益。

Two types of economic voting: How economic conditions jointly affect vote choice and turnout

The economic voting literature mostly looks at vote choice, ignoring potential effects on turnout. Studies that do focus on the latter often ignore the former, and come to contradictory conclusions. I develop a model of economic voting that jointly incorporates vote choice and abstention due to alienation or indifference. Analyzing ten elections with validated turnout data and conducting empirically informed simulations, I make two contributions. First, I show that “turnout switching” accounts for up to one third of total economic voting. This second type of economic voting is more common when the number of parties is low and responsibility is dispersed. Second, I show that a bad economy moves some people to abstain while having the opposite effect on others. The aggregate effect is ambiguous and related to macro-conditions in a non-linear way. This explains contradictory findings in the literature.     

African philanthropy,pan-Africanism,and Africa's development

Reflective and theoretical, this article explores the foundations and principles of African philanthropy and juxtaposes them with pan-African-led development. It pays particular attention to new continental initiatives, such as Agenda 2063. It points out that African philanthropy, by its definition and practice, is the foundation for development. This is because the identity of an African is premised on philanthropic notions of solidarity, interconnectedness, interdependencies, reciprocity, mutuality, and a continuum of relationships. No one embodies these better than Nelson Mandela in his demonstration of the link that exists between pan-Africanism and African philanthropy in the development process.     

Endogenous development: naïve romanticism or practical route to sustainable African development?

Development theory and practice in developing countries are dominated by the power of Western ideas, worldviews, actors, tools, models, and frameworks. Consequently, the resulting development interventions may too rarely be locally rooted, locally driven, or resonant with local context. Another reality is that theories and practice from developing countries rarely travel to the Western agencies dominating development, undermining the possibility of a beneficial synergy that could be obtained from the best of the two worlds: West and developing countries. There are many reasons why the experience of locally driven development is not communicated back to global development actors, including but not limited to the marginal role of Southern voices in global fora. Perhaps the greatest unwelcome and unintended outcome is that by trying to create, or perhaps better said, “clone” development in developing countries in the image of Western “development”, development efforts defeat their own purpose through undermining their own relevance, legitimacy, and sustainability.     

Endogenous development going forward: learning and action

More than 50 years after independence Africa is yet to move from colonial to post-colonial identity – and to entitlement to determining its own destiny. Increasingly, however, African development thinkers and practitioners are questioning the dominance of externally driven, mostly Western models of development, which they believe have done little to date toward bringing about self-reliant sustainable development. We have observed successful patterns of endogenously led development in East Asia and Brazil. In Africa the papers included here suggest emerging new patterns of local leadership and of resurrecting and renewing cultural and traditional strengths to support modern development. Endogenous development, while a sometimes awkward term, is a concept increasingly informing practice.
