Globalisation

The term ‘globalisation’ is widely used to describe a variety of economic, cultural, social, and political changes that have shaped the world over the past 50-odd years. Because it is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, globalisation has been credited with a wide range of powers and effects. Its proponents claim that it is both ‘natural’ and an inevitable outcome of technological progress, and creates positive economic and political convergences. Critics argue that globalisation is hegemonic and antagonistic to local and national economies. This article argues that globalisation is a form of capitalist expansion that entails the integration of local and national economies into a global, unregulated market economy. Although economic in its structure, globalisation is equally a political phenomenon, shaped by negotiations and interactions between institutions of transnational capital, nation states, and international institutions. Its main driving forces are institutions of global capitalism – especially transnational corporations – but it also needs the firm hand of states to create enabling environments for it to take root. Globalisation is always accompanied by liberal democracy, which facilitates the establishment of a neo-liberal state and policies that permit globalisation to flourish. The article discusses the relationship between globalisation and development and points out that some of the most common assumptions promoted by its proponents are contradictory to the reality of globalisation; and that globalisation is resisted by more than half of the globe's population because it is not capable of delivering on its promises of economic well being and progress for all.     

刑法主观主义之生成根基

刑法主观主义生成的根本推动力是经济因素。经济结构的变迁引起社会结构的变迁,而伴随社会结构的变迁,犯罪必然呈现出新特征,最终导致刑事犯罪治理策略取向由个人本位转向社会本位,从而导致刑法主观主义生成并渐趋强势。刑法主观主义并非只是为了作为客观主义的对立面而生成,而是对时代变迁的必然回应,是时代的必然产物。     

From newspapers to social media? Changing dynamics in Swiss direct democratic campaigns

Switzerland is a laggard in terms of digital campaigning. Direct democratic votes, more particularly, are centered around issues and little personalized. Combined with the specificities of voters’ information behaviour in direct democratic campaigns, these features are likely to disincentivize political actors from extensively campaigning online. Instead, we expect political actors to continue relying on traditional media. These propositions are tested on a large data base of social media posts and newspaper advertisements published before direct democratic votes held in Switzerland from 1981 to 2020 and 2010 to 2020, respectively. Counterintuitively, this research note finds a strong discontinuity in campaign communication practices. Over the past decades, and between 2010 and 2020 in particular, newspaper ads have become less central to direct democratic campaign communication. At the same time, political actors are increasingly shifting their communication to the digital sphere.

社会制度中的良善生活——马克思和杜威的伦理学构架

马克思和杜威的伦理学都强调道德是具体社会制度中的生活形式,这一观点既摆脱为伦理学寻求形而上学根源的困境,又指明了良善生活可能具有的内容。同时,社会制度包容不同的良善生活形式,认可了伦理价值的多元性;社会制度也排斥那些不道德的生活形式,它限定着良善生活的评价标准。     

试论媚雅广告的表达机制——兼论其对社会排斥的隐性表达

媚雅广告是指以感性诉求为主、强调典雅情调、营造尊贵品位的广告形式.它通过对艺术、运动、地域和源语符号进行意义嫁接,完成符号赋值,一方面鼓励社会中上层进行精英反叛式的主动排斥,与社会普通大众保持距离;另一方面试图赋予社会各阶层之间的不平等以合法性,故意通过差异化设置文化界限和社会区隔,导致了社会下层的被动排斥.从表面看,媚雅广告是一种新的消费理念与生活方式的表征;往深处究,不难发现它巧妙地利用了文化资本为之效力,是竭力追逐利润的商品生产者和试图扩张文化话语权的社会中上层两者合力的结果.

新型农村社会养老保险政策评估——基于土地流转制度背景下的研究

面对人口老龄化加剧、劳动力乡城流动、土地流转加速、土地养老功能弱化、农村养老需求增长的严峻局势和新农保试点扩面迅速推进的整体性战略规划,以公共政策评估和政策外部性理论为基础,从政策执行主体、政策服务对象的双重视角评估土地流转制度背景下新型农村社会养老保险政策执行状况和实施效果,通过对东、中、西部新农保试点地区的实态调查,分别获取基层政府工作人员、新农保经办机构人员、农村常住居民三类群体共2779份有效问卷,综合运用描述性统计和通径分析方法,进一步探寻改善政策效果的有效路径。研究结果表明:政府一定程度存在职能缺位、越位,立法、财政、监管责任缺失等问题,而广大农民未能将土地流转潜在养老保障功能与新农保统筹考量,使政策难以达到预期目标,可通过发挥政府主导作用、增强农民土地流转意识、提升经办机构服务能力、有效整合养老政策等具体对策,进一步促进土地流转、提高新农保参保意愿、改善政策执行与实施效果。
