The Role of Non -Economic Drivers in Development Planning: The Case of South Korea and Turkey

ABSTRACT

The relationships between economic growth and planning strategies have been debated in different disciplines of social science. However, the emphasis has been more on structural and theoretical assumptions of planning and economics at the expense of other important non-economic and institutional factors that include social, cultural, political, and administrative dimensions. To explain the different approaches and outcomes of development planning, one needs to examine other factors that influence the nature of these plans and why they have been adopted. Using rigorous systematic and thematic review of government reports, academic publications and data from international organizations, this comparative study reveal the unique role non-economic factors play in countries’ development. It has been revealed that these factors not only influence the nature of planning strategies adopted by governments but also affect how these plans are implemented. Since South Korea and Turkey have achieved impressive economic growth over the last half a century, they have been selected as a case study to examine the role non-economic factors in their respective developments.     

辨证理性与改革的张力——论社会转型过程中正确处理传统与现代的辨证关系问题

现代化和全球化是现代社会转型的历史纵向和文化横向两个社会运动维度,也是社会变革过程不可分割的两个方面.但是,无论是时间上的纵向现代化运动,还是空间上的横向的全球化运动,都需要政治家在改革中应用辨证的理性,在保守与变革中保持必要的张力.     

Towards a school constitution for freedom -- a comparative analysis in Western and Eastern Europe

This article shows the recent European discussion on and developments in the reform of school government and administration. This reorganisation is directed at reducing state influence and widening self-responsibility of schools. It is a part of a general development towards decentralisation and deregulation, subsidiarity and plurality in civil society. This overview, with illustrations from different countries, shows a general agreement in Western and Eastern Europe that the humanisation of education must also be promoted through liberalisation and democratisation of decision-making.

构建社会主义经济和谐的一般历程与现存制度缺陷

构建社会主义经济和谐既是社会主义市场制度不断完善的过程,又是产业结构高度化,二元经济结构向现代经济结构过渡的过程;构建和谐的社会主义经济与现存制度的冲突主要表现在与基本经济制度相配套的具体制度安排的缺失以及对“三农”进行保护和支持的可持续发展的、有效率的机制的缺乏。探求建立符合社会主义价值原则而且与现代产权制度相兼容的新型所有制,是解决当前矛盾的可行路径。     

经合组织与中国

成立于1961年的经合组织在当今全球化进程和中国经济发展中扮演了十分重要的角色。财富增长、社会稳定和良好的行政管理构成了经合组织塑造全球化进程的“三角发展模式,”这种模式有利于促进全球经济平衡发展,也值得中国借鉴。依据经合组织统计报告,中国目前的经济发展在投资、贸易和财政领域占据优势,但其所有制资产比重、劳动力市场和货币政策仍与经合组织国家有差距。     

Third Ways or New Ways? The Post‐Communist Left in Central Europe

Communist successor parties in central Europe are not a homogeneous group of political actors. Processes of organisational reform undertaken in the immediate post-1989 period placed them on a programmatic trajectory which has since proven difficult to successfully modify. Parties that centralised power around a small group of elite actors have enjoyed more flexibility in their attempts to maximise votes and remain ideologically broad. Parties that radically democratised by empowering their memberships and/or middle-ranking officials have remained much more ideologically conservative and have tend to be neo-communist in orientation. This has strongly affected not just their positions in national party systems, but also their attitudes and behaviour towards foreign actors/institutions. Some communist successor parties therefore remain side-lined on the anti-capitalist far-left while others have developed into confident, outward-looking centre-left actors while one - the Slovak SDL - imploded on account of its own internal contradictions.     

公共经济法:经济法的本质解释——兼与李曙光《经济法词义解释与理论研究的重心》一文商榷

就研究方法之一的词义解释方法距离揭示经济法本质甚远且存在着方法论上的局限。将经济法描述为“与经济相关的法律”并不能洞穿经济法的本质。在经济法研究中,将国家与市场视为主客体关系的思维范式与单向度的管制思维均需抑制,“立体型”与“交互式”才是国家与市场关系的真实反映,管制不能统领经济法的全部方法与机制。经济法是调整公共经济关系之法,其有别于调整私人经济关系的市民法。经济法的本质是公共经济法,但公共既可能是一种福利,也可能是一种危险,对公共的规制是经济法的主要任务。

An Economic Analysis of a Swedish Environmental Liability Case

A High Court case illustrates Swedish legal reasoning. The case extends the use of strict liability, although the main liability rule is negligence. The aim of the paper is to show the usefulness of the economic analysis in a practical case. The case concerns liability for damages caused by a leaky, hot-water pipe. The defendant maintained that it should not be held liable because it had not acted negligently, and the district court and the court of appeals supported the defence. Nevertheless, the High Court decided on strict liability. The High Court used a line of argumentation that, partly and implicitly, may have been economically correct. However, the precedence was most limited and unclear. Given an explicit goal of economic efficiency, the precedence would, in this simple and straightforward case, be that strict liability should prevail where the cause is unilateral and the injurer is able to cover and/or insure the loss.     

改革大学德育体系需要纳入人文精神

中国社会步入转型期后,市场经济使大学德育丧失了传统的优势地位。改革大学德育体系需要挖掘新思路,吸收新元素,即纳入人文主义的教育、纳入人文精神。为此,必须变革德育观念,确立以学生人文精神培养为本的新理念,将人文精神纳入大学德育体系
